César Encarcion, 14, helps fix a flat tire in a child’s bike while volunteering at Bayshore Park on June 10. Youth participated in a bike rodeo hosted by the Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre at Bayshore Park on June 10. Participants were able to get a free bike tune up from Right Bike and volunteers, and the city’s public health and parks and recreation department was giving out free helmets and sizing advice.
Some height and new park space is part of the plan for the redevelopment of the Booth Street complex. The three preliminary designs for the area — bordered by Norman, Booth, Rochester and Orangeville streets — were presented at a public meeting on May 31, which was attended by more than 100 people. The 2.5-hectare site includes seven vacant buildings and five federally recognized heritage buildings. It’s owned by Canada Lands Company, a Crown corporation that specializes in real estate development and attractions management. OPTION 1

that management is considering riding the buses to talk with riders and see what their experience is like. ”They were receptive,” Redins wrote of management. Customers largely want an online booking system, something OC Transpo manager of customer service and planning Pat Scrimgeour said staff put on the back burner in an effort to focus on acquiring new vehicles and expand the eligibility criteria. Manconi said the wait times are the result of supply and demand, because the commission opened up the eligibility criteria for using the service. Manconi said the phone booking system has had “multiple service interruptions.” “We are looking into that,” he said. Scrimgeour said there’s a lot of pressure on the phone system as 45 per cent of the trips by Para Transpo vehicles are “on demand,” which
means they’ve been booked the day before. Currently, the booking line for the next day opens at 7 a.m. Riders looking for same-day rides can start calling for those rides after 9 a.m. “Customers call in immediately and there’s an influx that leads to high volumes and a call queue,” Scrimgeour said. Aside from the booking line bottleneck, concerned riders would also like to see representation on the transit commission and the elimination of a review panel – which many people feel “overrules” the opinions of the riders’ doctors. Manconi said the transit commission has made investments into Para Transpo in the last two budgets and staff will continue to work on improving the service. Manconi said some difficult decisions may have to be made in order to order to deal with key issues. “We need to solve the challenge of people waiting for hours on hold on a phone line,” he said.

Canada Lands Company to reveal preferred design for the site this fall Three different options have been presented to the public for the redevelopment of the Booth Street complex.

“Right now they are still high-level designs, but I’m pleasantly surprised by the options,” said Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney. She has heard from residents about the need for heritage preservation, affordable housing and access throughout the site for pedestrians and cyclists. She said, so far so good. “People are interested in the project – residents, the (business improvement area), are all quite interested,” McKenney said, adding she prefers option one. That option keeps most of the density closer to the highway, with proposed heights of between 15 and 36 storeys. McKenney is also happy to see the site will be a car-free zone. “That’s something I was hoping to see,” she said. Canada Lands Company will refine the concepts and designs throughout the summer with the goal of coming back with a preferred design in September. Early 2018 is when the company aims to submit the design concept to the city for

Another feature preserved in each of the designs was something that the community has been pretty vocal about saving, said Mary Jarvis, Canada Lands Company’s director of real estate for Ontario. The existing smokestack appears in each of the designs, even though that building does
not have a heritage designation. “The smokestack was very important to the community,” she said. “It’s an iconic image for the complex so that element was retained in response to the community’s desire for the campus.” She said it’s the company’s
desire to develop the site in conjunction with the community, to meet their objectives, and their preferences, which included the need for some park space for the site.

Unearthing buried treasure: Fleck fountain reinstalled at LeBreton BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Four years ago, during decontamination work at LeBreton Flats, workers unearthed some buried treasure. A granite fountain was found in seven or eight pieces, bearing the name of Lilias W. Fleck, wife of local industrialist Alexander Fleck. Researchers learned her children erected the piece in her memory in the 1890s. According to the National Capital Commission, the fountain became the centrepiece for a small park built in the east end of the Flats. That piece of history now sits prominently at the southwest corner of Wellington and Booth streets. The NCC opened a new plaza at LeBreton Flats on June 12, costing $225,000. The fountain is located at the entrance to a new outdoor exhibit that describes what life was like around the time of the fountain’s use in the Flats and gives information about the Fleck family. “The story of how it came to be buried in the mud of LeBreton Flats remains a mystery but we know of greater certainty the
history of the great family behind it,” NCC chief executive officer Mark Kristmanson said during the unveiling. The exhibit makes some important connections to Ottawa’s history, including the story about Lilias Fleck’s son-in-law, Thomas Ahearn, and her son Andrew. Ahearn founded the Chaudière Electric Light and Power Company and served as the first chairman of the Federal District Commission, which was the predecessor of the NCC. He also oversaw the construction of the Champlain Bridge and Queen Elizabeth Driveway. Kristmanson called Ahearn a tech titan and the Steve Jobs of his time. “He was a visionary, an entrepreneur, inventor. He saw the future in telephones and streetcars,” he said. Andrew Fleck was the president of Canadian Atlantic Railway and James Fleck, Lilias’s son, ran one of the largest foundries in the city. “It connects some very important things for the NCC — an early chairperson of the NCC, the redevelopment of
LeBreton Flats, a heritage element and also a place for people to come and assemble through this 2017 summer and beyond,” Kristmanson said. At the plaza’s opening were two descendants of Thomas Ahearn, Brian and Mary, Ahearn’s great grand-nephew and great grand-niece. “The Fleck fountain has had a great history of making these connections,” said Brian Ahearn. “The fountain was built over 100 years ago, moved, lost for decades and unearthed recently; the fountain really is a buried treasure. It’s been beautifully restored to honour those connections between the Flecks, the Ahearns and the NCC.” The Wellington and Booth corner is transforming this year. During the short ceremony unveiling the refurbished fountain, construction continued on the Holocaust monument near the site continued. To the east there’s Harmony Park, to be unveiled next week by the NCC. The commission’s website says the park was created in partnership with the Algonquin First Nation com-

Brian Ahearn, from Calgary, is the great grandnephew of Thomas Ahearn, the son-in-law of Lilias W. Fleck, whom this fountain was erected in memory of.

The new plaza was unveiled on June 12. munities of Pikwàkanagàn and Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg, as well as Canadian Heritage, to highlight indigenous culture and heritage.
The plaza and the park are part of the NCC’s beautification initiative to improve the experience when entering the capital’s core area. The plaza sits on land

Adventures in language training
T
wenty years ago, I lived in Jonquiere, Que. for five weeks. I was coming off the end of my first year of university, where I had taken a debutant (beginner) oral French course. “Tu manges?” the wiry, old French professor would ask. “Oui, je mange,” I would respond diligently. “Tu fumes?” “Non, je ne fume pas.” “Ou est la bibliotheque?” “Repetez, s’il vous plait.” It went on like this for two hours, twice weekly, for four months. At the end of my time, I felt I needed to take my French to the next level. So, I applied for a federal bursary and off I went on a great adventure to be immersed in rural Quebec culture for five weeks. It was difficult to study a language. We had full-time classes at the local CEGEP, evening activities, and weekend cultural excursions. We were forbidden to speak English. I lived with a local family, in which the two young children laughed and corrected my terrible pronunciation and grammar at dinner most evenings. The teenager listened to ‘90s rap with loads of English swear words that his parents thankfully didn’t understand. The dad was pretty mute most of the time. But every once in a while, he’d scare the heck out of me by shouting out random English words that he’d picked up at the local épicerie. “Pork chop!”, “pickle!” he would exclaim, making me nearly jump out of my skin. For the next two decades, I plateaued at an intermedi-
BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse ate level, despite living with a French-Canadian for the last 13 years and hearing my children speak French constantly to their dad. Recently, however, I decided it was time to take it up a notch. I enrolled myself in the grammar portion of a five-week French immersion program at Cite Collegiale. Nine days into the course, I was asked to take French language testing for a private company where I had applied for a job. In preparation, outside of the 12 hours weekly of French grammar, I constantly watched French television, read French newspapers, listed new vocabulary and conjugated verbs in every form imaginable. I put up posters all over my basement office with new words related to economic growth and social development. I unloaded hundreds of dollars at the local librairie on grammar workbooks and listening exercises. Within seven days, I went from an intermediate French speaker and reader to highly advanced (at least for the moment in time in which I took the tests). But I flunked the written portion. Despite hours
of hard work conjugating verbs, figuring out the order of adverbs and adjectives, pronoun placement, indirect and direct objects, how to recognize metaphors, and analysing a prophetic essay by Jules Verne, I absolutely bombed it. I’m not surprised, really. I recall looking at the test screen and getting all blurry-eyed when I tried to recognize the variations of the pronoun “vous”. I couldn’t remember
Studying French is difficult and frustrating at times, but it’s also fun if “en” or “y” should be in the sentence where it was placed. Suddenly faced with a time limit, I wasn’t sure if the verbs I was looking at were conjugated in the future, past, or imperfect tense. All my studying of the recent week blended together in a big mushy cloud of nonsensical pig Latin. The clock was ticking

and I was imagining the days when my friends and I used to add “ay” to every word, thinking we’d invented a language that our parents couldn’t comprehend. In the past, the failure may have been a discouragement. But, buoyed by my stunning success with oral French and comprehension, it’s actually only made me more determined. I know from experience that writing is one of the most difficult tasks for humans. It requires not only a complex familiarity with the rules of language, but also a lot of practice. The only way to achieve an advanced level is to study and play with words and apply the knowledge to achieve success, and, every once in a while, failure. I’m determined to persist. Studying French is difficult and frustrating at times, but it’s also fun. It’s opened up an entirely new world of humour and nuance that has flown under my radar for years. And, at the end of the day, as I stretch my vocabulary and play with the written word in French, it’s my hope to apply that in English. I find myself rediscovering words in English, like “cumbersome”, “banal”, “manifest”, and even “hope.” We Anglophones like to complain heartily about the restrictions of bilingualism, particularly in Ottawa. But, if we open ourselves up to it (and get past those studyinduced migraines), learning another language can be one of the most enriching and rewarding experiences of our lives.

Intimidation won’t silence media
A
group of disgruntled city councillors in Brampton, Ont., seem to be confusing freedom of the press with freedom from the press. Angry with recent coverage by the local newspaper, some councillors are proposing a motion to scrutinize the media’s questioning of elected officials. It’s a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate reporters. The motion calls for all media inquiries to be posted on the city website along with provided responses. Further, councillors want future meeting agendas to include time to respond to media coverage. Meanwhile, at least one member of Brampton council has also taken to Twitter, suggesting the local paper isn’t providing “real news.” This is all in reaction to assertive reporting that is critical of the city’s leadership. Councillors say they have put the press on notice. Such a statement demonstrates a blatant disregard for, or ignorance of, the checks and balances already strongly entrenched in the Canadian media system. Accountability starts with the news outlet itself. Complaints can be made directly to a journalist, editor or publisher. If the response is unsatisfactory, individuals can contact the press council. The National NewsMedia Council deals
with matters concerning fairness of coverage, relevance, balance and accuracy. Its members (including this newspaper) abide by its decisions. It’s a free and open process for the public. When media make a mistake, we own it very publicly. That’s not something everyone can say. And there is the law. Canada has very strict libel laws. These laws protect the reputation of individuals and organizations from false and derogatory remarks. Media are bound by these laws. These councillors forget that media are not accountable to elected officials. Media are accountable to the public, the same group whose money these councillors are spending. Ultimately this is about control. Councillors are trying to stifle critical voices and control our free, independent and responsible media. That’s a scary development. It won’t work. Metroland is putting Brampton’s elected officials on notice: media will not be intimidated by these thinly disguised bullying tactics. EDITOR’S NOTE: This editorial has been shared by the Brampton Guardian and is running in all Metroland East newspapers.
Former U.S. embassy building should be put to good use
I
f you’ve lived in Ottawa for a long time, you will have a predictable reaction to reports that something will finally happen at the old U.S. Embassy on Wellington Street. About time, you will say. Indeed. That’s a beautiful building and it is a shame that it has sat empty and unused so long. By the time something is put there it will have been at least 20 years since it was last occupied. It has been neglected for so many years that you would think it was on LeBreton Flats. One of the benefits of finding a use for the former embassy is that it will bring another historical attraction to what used to be known as Confederation Boulevard, another attraction to walk to. Ottawa, as we know, has many fine museums and other structures, including the Parliament Buildings,
that the former U.S. embassy building will become a centre for indigenous peoples. That’s a good use. In a day when there is an intense and overdue focus on Canada’s indigenous peoples Funny Town and culture, it is fitting that a prominent place be given to that. The Canadian Press report on the government’s plans for the building reflecting our history and culture. They are spread out a bit — from the notes that consultations are underway with indigenous communities on War Museum in LeBreton Flats, to the Museum of History in Gatineau the best possible uses of the space. Do they even want it? It would be (with side trips to the Museum of interesting to listen in on those conNature down O’Connor Street and the Science Museum on St. Laurent). sultations.

since it is committed to indigenous culture, put up a building that reflects that on the outside as well as the inside. Something by Douglas Cardinal, say, rather than an American architect born in the 19th century. The beauty of the now-familiar portrait gallery proposal is that it doesn’t much matter what a portrait gallery looks like from the street. So the embassy site is fine for that. But the portrait gallery idea may have passed its best-before date. It has been kicking around since 2001 and nothing has been done. You can blame politics for that — the idea having been started by Jean Chrétien and ended by Stephen Harper — but it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that Canada would have a national portrait gallery by now if there had been public enthusiasm for it.

shouldn’t be a portrait gallery somewhere near the Hill. And it’s fair to say that most people in our city would welcome just about anything to the former U.S. embassy site, just have to have it done with. Well, maybe not an aquarium.

Meeting planned to talk about Civic campus
COMMUNITY news .COM
ottawa
If you have something to say about the new Ottawa Hospital Civic campus coming to River Ward, the local councillor has a meeting planned for you. Coun. Riley Brockington is hosting a meeting on June 20 at the Alexander Community Centre, at 960 Silver St., starting at 7 p.m. Brockington’s goal was to host a preliminary consultation about the new hospital for residents to air their concerns early on in the planning process. After a week-and-a-half of questioning where the new campus would go last winter, the decision was made to put the new hospital at the former Sir John Carling building site, about a kilometre down the road from the current hospital. Brockington has invited hospital executive vice-president and chief operating officer Cameron Love to give a brief update about the project. Then, Brockington is planning to open up the floor to residents to talk about their ideas. “We’re not opening up the debate about the site,” Brockington said in a recent interview. Instead, he wants residents to raise concerns that can be addressed through the planning process so he knows what’s most important for the community. For his residents, those issues include items like transit, parking, and more, he said.
In early April, a hospital press release said the pre-planning on the new Civic campus would begin soon. It said the hospital will develop “an integrated approach and coordinate a way forward to reach out to our community.” Their consultation process includes third-party interviews with hospital partners, community leaders, interest groups, councillors, and other officials. According to the statement, the engagement plan would be ready for early summer. That would guide the hospital’s work over the next decade as they build the new facility. In December, the Ottawa Hospital got $3 million from the provincial government to help with the first phase of planning for the new campus. That phase includes deciding what programs would fit at the new location that would be built to serve the community for 100 years.

Consultation - Sue Holloway Park Last year, Sue Holloway Park, the outdoor fitness centre located in the north end of Mooney’s Bay Park, had come to the end of its lifecycle and was torn down. I secured the necessary funds in the City budget and this spring and I have hosted two stakeholder meetings with the main users of the fitness park to review potential sites and components to be used. I am now hosting public consultation with the broader community on Monday June 26, at 7pm, at the Riverside Churches. The objective of the meeting is to provide a summary of the work of the stakeholders’ group, to review how the recommended site in the south end was selected and to seek feedback on the various components that are available for use in the fitness park. The new location will not interfere with any festival or beach activity and no trees will be removed.

Expansions, renovations for eight schools – provincial funds announced Money comes as public board completes accommodation reviews BY MELISSA MURRAY mmurray@metroland.com
Eight local schools will receive money from the province to help revitalize them as they accommodate new students in the fall. Education Minister Mitzie Hunter was joined by Ottawa West-Nepean MPP Bob Chiarelli on June 12 at Agincourt Road Public School as Hunter announced $18.3 million for Ottawa schools for renovations to three schools and the expansion of another five. The money will go toward additions to Agincourt Public School, Sir Robert Borden High School and Merivale High School, and renovations to Woodroffe Avenue Public School, Pinecrest Public School, Bell High School, Briargreen Public School and Gloucester High School. Last year the board undertook two accommodations reviews. The western area review included a look at 26 schools, including four
high schools. At the end of the process, the board decided to close D. Aubrey Moodie Intermediate School, Greenbank Middle School, Leslie Park Public School, Grant Alternative School and Century Public School. A sixth school, J.H. Putman, would close after the opening of a new intermediate wing at Agincourt Road Public School. High schools in the review will now accommodate grades 7 to 12 and an international baccalaureate program for west-end students will begin at Merivale High School this fall. The eastern secondary review looked at Colonel By, Gloucester and Rideau high schools. In the end, the board voted to close Rideau, and students will be redirected to Gloucester this fall. The schools receiving students from the closures will receive provincial funds for the renovations and expansions. “It’s very exciting news,” said board chair Shirley Seward in an interview following the announcement. “We went through two very challenging and comprehensive accommodation reviews
and this means even better learning spaces for our students.”
‘We went through two very challenging and comprehensive accommodation reviews and this means even better learning spaces for our students.’ SHIRLEY SEWARD PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD CHAIR
The addition at Agincourt will accommodate about 300 students. Seward said the project should take 18 months to two years. “We’re really pleased this money is coming so soon after the reviews.” Work done at other schools includes additions like increasing gym space, she said. Some of the smaller projects will get underway this summer and could be finished by the time students come back to
school this fall. “We do the accommodation reviews for learning reasons and financial reasons; this announcement starts a good precedent to show that investments will be made after successful reviews,” Seward said. “It’s a very good sign that our hard work is paying off.” According to a news release, the money will help provide students with more modern facilities and help Ottawa’s public school board reduce the cost of underused space. “By building the best possible learning environments for our students, we are laying the groundwork for their future success. These school infrastructure projects will support the well-being and achievement of students across the province for years to come,” said Hunter in a news release. Chiarelli also applauded the announcement. “This is an important investment from our government in the students and families in the Ottawa area. These new projects will provide students with modern learning facilities and accommodate the growing and changing Ottawa region,” he said.

ou could smell molasses at Briscoe’s General Store, once you got by the row of cookies in their tilted boxes at the front. There was no attempt made to shut out the smells that filled the store, and coal oil, rubber boots, maple cookies, rolls of yard goods, and of course, molasses aromas met you as soon as you opened the door. Mother didn’t want molasses that day, I would still head to the back of the store, where a pail sat on a narrow bench, with a tin ladle resting on a chipped saucer, where customers could fill little honey pails with as much molasses as they needed. And if no one was looking, I would run my finger onto the saucer, capturing some that had stayed with the ladle used by the last customer. Of course molasses filled all sorts of purposes at home. It would be poured into Mother’s homemade Boston baked beans, a recipe that was passed around Northcote, a recipe that was said to turn out the best baked beans in the entire county! All the time the beans were baking, Mother kept testing them with a spoon, and she would add just a bit more molasses, until they were exactly as she wanted them. Soon the smell of the molasses overpowered the chunk of salt pork pushed down into the beans, and all you could smell was molasses. Father never considered his pipe tobacco ready to smoke until he had added a couple spoons of molasses. He bought leafs as big as fry pans, and he had a tobacco cutter attached to a board, which he used to cut the leaves into small pieces. And then with his bare hands he would mix the molasses into the tobacco.

So when it happened that one of us, or sometimes the whole lot of us, complained of a stomach ache, out would come the molasses. It wasn’t above Emerson to complain of what he would call “ a sickish feeling” just to be dosed with Mother’s special molasses treatment. It was a real treat, and no one complained when Mother mixed up a glass of cold water with baking soda and a spoonful of molasses. It fizzed up just like a drink from a bottle of KIK bought at Briscoe’s General Store. Whether it did anything for a sick stomach was a good question, but it was certainly a ‘cure’ we all looked forward to.

Now that the time has come to purchase a new home, you want to make sure you get it exactly right. This is, after all, the most important investment you’ll likely ever make. While there is a wide variety of housing choices on the market in Ottawa these days, it is difficult to decide how to get started. There are so many components in your plan to consider: do you want to live in the city, the suburbs or maybe in a more rural setting? Of course the financial considerations are key. How much are you able to put down on that dream home and what size of mortgage can you handle? And what type of home are you looking for, a large single family dwelling with plenty of greenspace or a townhome that might require a little less maintenance? Perhaps you’re approaching your retirement years and looking to be closer to family. The multi-generational option is playing a growing role in the market these days. So many of Canada’s top home builders call the national capital region home, offering an array of housing styles. And Metroland Media brings you closer to these award-winning builders through our monthly feature, Floor Plan 2017. Doing your homework is key to purchasing a new home. We’re pleased to provide this special section to help make that process just a little easier. And look for more ideas in our next supplement inside your Metroland newspaper Thursday, Aug. 24.

Are you ready to become a HOMEOWNER? Congratulations! You’ve decided to buy a house. Owning a home is something to be proud of, but be careful. Are you really ready to be a homeowner? There’s a huge difference between the dream and reality. To become a homeowner, you’ll have to make a down payment of between 5 and 20 per cent of the property’s price. And that’s not all; you also need to estimate any additional costs associated with the purchase, such as a home inspection, notary or lawyer fees and legal expenses for the transfer of ownership. Generally, you should expect to pay about three per cent of the purchase price for these additional expenses. Don’t forget to add in the property taxes and home insurance as well. You’ll also have to take into account the costs of moving, renovations, utility connections (electricity, cable, Internet, etc.) and any maintenance. In other words, it’s important to evaluate your ability to pay before buying. Your current debt load will be a determining factor, so do your calculations carefully. Tip: before you start looking for your dream home, make an appointment with
your financial institution to find out what level of mortgage loan they would give you. Of course, you don’t have to do this, but it can help you target properties in the price range
you can afford. Lastly, don’t forget that even though home ownership is a great way to build capital, you’ll have to find the time, energy and
money to take care of your home’s maintenance and repair work. If you’d prefer to use your savings and free time to see the world, you’d better think twice before signing.

Strandherd Meadows
is an easy commute to exceptional living Bordered by the Greenbelt, Rideau River, Jock River and Highway 416, Barrhaven is south Ottawa’s most progressive community. With easy access to schools, parks, local transit and a variety of big-box stores and small shops, Barrhaven is a prime location. Standherd Meadows is one of Barrhaven’s most sough-after neighbourhoods. Phoenix Homes, Ottawa’s most reputable and affordable builder, is now offering 19 exclusive single lots in Strandherd Meadows. To be built on wide 50 foot lots, the new homes in Strandherd Meadows will be a mix of twostorey and bungalows, all featuring views of parkland across the street. “These homes will be on a single-sided street, meaning there will be no homes across from them,” explains Phoenix Homes Vice-President Rahul Kochar. “Instead, there will be a park in front of these homes.” All Phoenix Homes offer the latest in ergonomic design, innovation and elegance. Buyers in Strandherd Meadows will be able to choose from any of 12 bungalow designs ranging from 1,034 sq. ft. up to 2,515 sq. ft. or 14 two-storey single family homes ranging in size from 1,548 sq. ft. to 3,945 sq. ft. “As the neighbourhood is already built up, buyers of the last 19 lots will not have to deal with very much new construction around them.” Register online today at www.Phoenixhomes.ca to secure one of the remaining lots and then plan to move into your new home next summer! “Our single-family homes combine beautifully crafted designs with exceptionally functional layouts, offering you convenience and charm in one perfect home.” Phoenix Homes builds the highest quality, energy efficient and environmentally friendly, best value homes available. All homes are built to exacting standards, functional and comfortable, no matter what price. “We have made it a point to ensure that we are the best value in any area, compared to competition. Generally speaking, we are one step ahead of the competition – quality finishing, bonuses, and upgrades. When you do the math, you will always find that we’re ahead.” Just one of the many outstanding designs in a twostorey home, the Winchester is a home designed with family in mind. The double garage has access directly to the spacious mudroom with large closet, laundry room and powder room. The main floor is perfect for entertaining with a gourmet kitchen including a large island with seating for three opening into both the great room and living/dining room. The second floor can be made to suit any family – with 3, 4, and 5 bedroom options. The master suite, in any plan chosen, is luxurious with a large walk-in closet (the 4 bed option has his and hers walk-ins) and four-piece ensuite. Similarly, the Rutherford has been designed to provide all the benefits of a large home in a smaller package. The Rutherford has five exciting elevations available in configurations of 2,525 - 2,748 sq./ft. with four or five bedrooms, and four full washrooms on the second floor. Buyers can choose either an enclosed den or opt to increase the size of the kitchen to suit the most discerning chef. The four-bedroom option offers striking elegance with a two-storey family room. A two-sided fireplace helps to separate the family room and dinette while keeping the space open concept. The Rutherford second floor features a laundry, one Jack & Jill washroom, and two ensuites. Accessibility is no problem at Phoenix Homes, which offer custom entrances, wider doorways and halls, and appealing add-ons at ever turn. “We offer the best value anywhere. We invite people to shop and compare. We’ll always have something the others don’t.” Looking for a home that is designed for multi-
generational living? The Newington is all about innovation in design, comfort and functionality. “This home satisfies the demand for homes where family members of all generations stay in the same home. You can easily have three generations living comfortably under one roof.” The well-thought out floorplans and countless options save the hassle of trying to make an-in-law suite that compromises the house. “The Newington is purpose built for multi-generational living, from the ground up.” With a common entrance and shared space for family
interaction, the Newington provides ample opportunity for family gatherings while maintaining independence and privacy for individual interests. In keeping with the growing demand for natural products, Phoenix Homes has had its own operations to supply hardwood and granite since 2005. State-of-the-art CNC cutting machines for fabrication ensure the company’s granite and quartz are of the highest quality. Come home to a parkland setting nestled in the heart of Barrhaven.

Buying from a PLAN? Proceed carefully when buying a property from a plan Has a residential property development project caught your eye, and you’d love to buy one of the models? Everything seems right: the location, surroundings, materials, size of rooms and price. But be cautious about signing a pre-purchase contract based on a plan. You need to check a lot of details before buying a property that you’ve never laid eyes on. Your first step is to ask about the developer, builder and architect. Do they have good reputations? How many years have they been in business? Are they accredited by a recognized association? Check their permits and licences and don’t hesitate to ask for references from previous clients. Go to city hall to find out about other projects that are planned for the area where you want to live. Will there eventually be a park? A bigger road? Rental properties? Industrial buildings? Don’t rely exclusively on everything you’re told while visiting the show home. Do you feel pressured to sign quickly? Never sign a preliminary contract before your notary or lawyer has checked it out first. As a final precaution you can hire your own specialists to inspect your house or condo du ring every stage of the building process. They can check the quality of the soil, the excavation, foundations, framing and insulation, to name just a few things worth keeping tabs on.

GARDEN-INSPIRED decor brightens spaces and mood Many homeowners take up gardening to transform their homes with beautiful flowers and foliage, while others do so to yield fresh fruits and vegetables. But gardening can be more than just a weekend hobby. In fact, it may be especially beneficial for homeowners to surround themselves with more plants and natural decor, whether in the yard or in the home. Studies have indicated that gardening can be good for the mind and body. In addition to improving mood and reducing stress, plant life and gardening also may help people have a more hopeful outlook on life. If reaping the benefit of a beautiful landscape is not reason enough to get into gardening, elevating your mood and coping with depression or illness may be even further motivation to start developing your green thumb.
Living wall planters A living wall planter can add greenery to any décor without taking up floor or table space. Ideal for outdoor structures, these planters also can be used indoors if you safeguard against leaks and dripping. A living wall planter is a framed device that houses plants in a manner that enables them to be vertically mounted to a wall surface. While
there are commercially available models, you can create your own design and paint or stain it to match the existing décor. Use a soil free potting substrate to avoid the mess that regular soil may create.
Combining fish with gardening Enjoy the best of two relaxing worlds by installing a water feature in your yard. Garden retailers offer readymade kits that can make fast work of establishing a pond or other water feature in the backyard. Otherwise, there are plenty of water garden companies and installers who can suggest a design and put in your desired water features. Add fish suitable for outdoor life to your pond. These include koi and certain goldfish varieties. Game fish are discouraged because they can destroy pond plants. If an outdoor pond is more maintenance than you desire, consider an indoor aquarium with a combination of fish and live aquarium plants.
Creative furniture designs Maybe you’re a person who appreciates the unique and whimsical? Tables, benches and chairs can be built with planting channels that enable you to have greenery and garden décor in one piece. Envision a picnic table with a cutout down the center for a thin row of plants or decorative grasses. This is a project the entire family can get behind, as the more creative ideas the better.

Talos Homes feature exceptional quality, value, and workmanship. With the same attention to detail and pride of craftsmanship on which he insisted, Talos Homes today caters to discerning home buyers looking for homes with interiors as exquisitely finished as the exteriors. Talos President David Toscano continues the Toscano family tradition of using only the finest quality materials and workmanship by personally overseeing all aspects of building each home.

Akira (ID# A200347)
Blurring the Line Traditionally, the Ottawa Humane Society and most, if not all, humane societies had a pretty deep “line in the sand” between “owned” animals and those that were homeless. That is, the message to owners was that they are responsible for their pet — period. About fifteen years ago, the OHS started to relax some of its views, in particular on the issue of euthanasia. The OHS used to say people should see their veterinarian for this final act of kindness. But the number of calls regarding the urgent need for euthanasia began to increase, with desperate and cash-strapped families telling saying they had been quoted in the many hundreds of dollars, a euthanasia they simply could not afford. So, now the OHS will perform needed euthanasia, for a fee that is affordable in situations where an animal is likely to suffer otherwise. During the research for the new OHS strategic plan, it became clear that “owned” animals need the OHS too and that the old line in the sand was blurry.
Akira (ID# A200347) Meet Akira, a playful and loyal girl looking for her new best friend. Akira is looking for a new family to have lots of fun adventures with this summer. She loves to play and would enjoy a country home with a big yard to run around in. Akira would prefer to be the only pet in the home so she can have all of her new family’s love to herself. Are you the one Akira has been waiting for?
It became clear that the biggest, and most important need was for accessible, subsidized spay/neuter. And so, the OHS launched its mobile spay neuter program and vehicle so that low-income families could have their pet sterilized. Education is a part of the program, and the hope is that people will leave with not only a sterilized pet, but also with better knowledge about caring for her. In the coming months and years, the OHS strategic plan calls for further programs to assist pets in the community, not just in the shelter.

Group creates family-friendly list of Canada 150 activities BY MICHELLE NASH BAKER michelle.nash@metroland.com
If you are looking for a one-stop shop to find out how to entertain visitors this summer for Canada’s 150th, now there is a tool kit for that. A group of individuals
who have been gathering at the Sunnyside branch library in Old Ottawa South over the past few months first developed a list of 150 ideas and activities to celebrate Canada’s sesquicentennial. That list became available earlier this year at canada150cafe.wordpress.com.
The goal was to get all of Ottawa in on the conversation and party. “We are hoping to see small-scale community action,” said one of the participants, Gail Stewart. “In 1967, there were a lot of ordinary people doing their own projects, and yes, there are events
taking place in the city, but up to now it’s mostly things with high ticket prices or oneof parties.” Now, Stewart said the group has developed a tool kit, which is also available online. “It’s a free kit for hosting guests,” Stewart said. “We thought it would be nice for
the visitors, and a lot of families will be hosting friends and families this summer.” All the things in the kit are ideas of places to go or things to see, many of them free or not too expensive, with ideas that people could walk or take a drive. “We don’t pretend to cov-
er it all, it was just things of talking of people and we thought might interest people,” she said. Stewart added that one of the main things that has come out of the group’s weekly conversation and work on this project is the desire to have something concrete from this year’s sesquicentennial. The list is available to view or download on the website.

CHEO heroes set new record
Paper passes are being discontinued
STAFF
A call to action has been answered netting a new record for funds raised through the 34th annual CHEO telethon, televised June 10 and 11. The event, and fundraising efforts over the past year, generated a total of $8,727,897 for the regional children’s hospital, the Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre and Roger Neilson House. “Everyone at CHEO, OCTC, Roger Neilson House and the CHEO Research Institute work as one team, dedicated to helping children live their best lives possible,” Kevin Keohane, president and chief executive of the CHEO Foundation, said at the close of the 24-hour telethon broadcast. The new record is just the latest. Last year, the telethon helped set a new record with $8,013,771. As well, 2015 saw a record of $7.94 million while 2014 was a banner year with $7.1 million raised. “Donations and public support mean the world to the families who need CHEO and on their behalf we thank all who

The telethon provides a window into the work being done at each of the organizations, from research into deadly diseases, caring for patients with complex conditions and palliative care for children with life-limiting illness. “It also allows CHEO, OCTC, Roger Neilson House and the CHEO Research Institute to demonstrate the massive impact donations have on patient care and to recognize some of the supporters, volunteers
and major contributors who help make this record-breaking total possible,” the CHEO Foundation said in a statement. Funds raise will go to the purchase of specialized medical equipment at CHEO, renovations within the hospital, lifesaving research in cancer, youth mental health and childhood obesity, for example. “Telethon funds will also help us improve the kid-friendly nature of the hospital by purchasing games, toys and crafts to make the patient’s stay at CHEO as comfortable as possible,” the foundation said.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE ANSWERS IN NEXT WEEKS ISSUE.
sudoku

horoscopes
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

CLUES ACROSS
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 You may find yourself easily annoyed this week, Aries. Surround yourself with positive people so you’re not pulled into the doldrums. You will snap out of this funk.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, if you have been hesitant about being in the spotlight, times are about to change. There are no more excuses this week. Dive head first into everything.
SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 People around you may seem extra passionate about their beliefs this week, Sagittarius. But you can still take things lightly if those same fires are not stoked in you.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, when others call on you to police a situation, you might be stuck between doing the right thing and taking the side of a friend. Do your best to remain impartial.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 It’s time to pull your head out of the clouds and get back to business, Virgo. The real world is beckoning, so get your mind straight and return to form.
CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 This week you may pick up some skills you never thought possible, Capricorn. It may be computerrelated, or you may even begin to learn a foreign language.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 The last few weeks have been good for you, Gemini. Others have had the chance to see what you are capable of accomplishing, and your confidence and ego are soaring as a result.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, when speaking with others, take a more serious tone than you are used to. You don’t want to come off as if this is just a big joke. Something important is happening.
AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may finally arrive at a destination only to discover you really didn’t want to go to this place after all. Sometimes, you learn through discovery.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Consider listening rather than gossiping about others, Scorpio. Sit back and enjoy the conversation as it unfolds around you. You might be surprised by what you hear.
PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, get outside and enjoy the fresh air as much as possible. The great outdoors can provide a welcome respite from the daily grind.
CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may be called on to host family or friends and will have to arrange all of those details. Recognize your strengths and delegate what you can’t handle.
