Ottawa Centre candidates
for the next federal election
MP Ed Broadbent during
last year's NDP nomination
meeting for Ottawa Centre.
The May 4 announcement that MP Ed
Broadbent would be retiring from politics
was a surprise to many. Mr. Broadbent,
respected as a veteran politician and
statesman, especially for his work in
human rights and social justice, has made
a huge imprint on the Canadian political
landscape. He leaves politics to spend
more time with his wife Lucille, who is
undergoing treatment for cancer.
In the next federal election, Ottawa
Centre will still be one of the most
interesting political races to watch.
Liberal Richard Mahoney and Green
Party candidate David Chernushenko both
intend to run again, as do many
candidates from smaller political parties.

The Tory contender, who could
chosen on Sunday, May 15 at the GCC. The contenders are Guy Dufort,
Keith Fountain and Idris Ben-Tahir. Paul Dewar, who opposed Ed
Broadbent for the NDP nomination last time, is expected to try to be on the
ballot this time but he may face some strong contenders.

Will You Be Selling Craft
Supplies at the Great
Glebe Garage Sale?
Abbotsford House would love to have
donations of any you don't sell. Our
volunteers use everything: fabric, yarn, glue
guns, sewing notions, how-to books, you
name it, to create crafts for our November
fundraising Bazaar. Please drop them off at
Abbotsford House, 950 Bank Street.
Some of our investors are more
conservative than others.
It's not just personality. It's a person's age, attitude, responsibilities, priorities,
strengths and weaknesses, needs and desires. They all vary from individual to
individual and within the same individual, as well.
At Raymond James, our investment advisors understand that meeting client
needs goes a long way beyond tumbling numbers. It starts with getting to know
exactly what you need to accomplish financially, and equally important,
why you think that way.
Then, and only then, can we start to build a long-term portfolio that achieves
growth and flocibility, and does it on your terms. We balance risk and opportunity,
not according to some predetermined formula, but according to your personal
way of life.
We call this investment approach You first - and these principles have helped
Raymond James grow to serve over one million clients throughout Canada and
the United States. If this kind of thinking sounds right to you,let's talk further.

Emergency route
(no parking)
BY KEN LEESE
The 20th annual Great Glebe
Garage Sale (GGGS) will happen on
May 28, RAIN or SHINE!
The annual GGGS is one of the
many things that make living in this
vibrant community so wonderful.
For a few hours on the day of the
sale, the population of our neighbourhood
swells with people
coming from the suburbs, nearby
towns and, sometimes, from other
cities. The streets and sidewalks are
alive with pedestrians in search of
deals and hidden treasures, or the
simple pleasure of a walk in a
festival atmosphere.
The Glebe Community Association
endorses charitable donations
to The Ottawa Food Bank. We
encourage vendors to donate 10 per
cent of their earningstax receipts
will be issued for donations (see
page 1). We raised more than
$12,000 last year and hope this
year's sale will significantly increase
this amount.
Here are some simple tips that
will improve our annual community
event:
'SAFETY: Street congestion has
made emergency-vehicle access
very difficult in past years. This
year, emergency routes along
O'Connor from Fifth to Strathcona,
on Fifth from O'Connor to
Bank, and on Strathcona from
O'Connor to Metcalfe, will be "no
parking" zones similar to other
special events. NOTE: These will
be tow-away zones during the

GGGS. Parking enforcement will
also concentrate on no-stopping
zones and double parking.
*CARS: Find a good spot to park
your car. Walking, biking or skating
your way through the different
streets in the Glebe will give you a
better treasure-hunting advantage
than being stuck in traffic as the sale
gears up. Mutchmor (and perhaps
other Glebe schools) will sell
parking spots to raise funds.
Although we don't have definite
information as this article goes to
press, it's also possible that free
parking will be available at
Lansdowne Park that morning. If
you're a Glebe resident, try to park
your vehicle off the street to make
room for the many visitors we expect
again this year.
"LARGE ITEMS: Most vendors
will be more than happy to hold
large items purchased until the
afternoon when the traffic
has
dwindled. An impromptu sales receipt
can easily be drawn up with a
deposit and an exchange of telephone
numbers.
'CASH: There are only a few ATMs
in the Glebe; at every Garage Sale,
they are depleted early on.
*TRASH: Vendors, please place a
garbage can by the curb for litterwith
the large crowds this event
attracts, there can be a large amount
of litter produced. Buyers, please
hold on to your litter until you see a
garbage can and then stash the trash.
Rain or shine, buyer or vendorhave
fun on May 28!
