Glebe resident wins Citizen of the Year award 

By Joan Over 

A Glebe resident has been 

named by Ottawa City Council 

as one of two winners of the 

1985 Citizen of the Year award. 

Betty Neelin of Broadway 

Avenue has been cited 

for her work as co-ordinator 

of the Emergency Food and 

Clothing'Centre at McLeod- 

Stewarton United Church on 

Bank Street. 

The centre is an ecumenical 

project supported by 12 

Ottawa churches; Directed 

by Neelin for the past five. 

years, it has become a major 

emergency centre in the 

city, providing food, cloth- 

ing and a sympathetic ear to 

many needy people. 

"About 50 volunteers work 

with me at the centre. Winning 

the award is also an 

honour for them," Neelin 

said. 

Besides her work at the 

Emergency Food and Clothing 

Centre, Neelin is a founding 

ember and currently serves 

on the board of directors of 

the Ottawa Food Bank. She 

is also an elder at Knox 

Presbyterian Church. 

Also named as Citizen of 

the Year is Rita Cross. 

Cross co-ordinates the food 

distribution program at the 

Foster Farm Community Centre.

Good turnout for GCA annual general meeting 

ByInezBerg 

On Thursday, May 22, the 

Glebe Community Association 

held its annual general 

meeting in the main hall of 

the Glebe Community Centre. 

In spite of the rain a good 

sized crowd turned out to 

hear a roster of speakers 

that included Alderman Quinn, 

MPP Claude Bennett, MP 

Michael Cassidy and guest 

speaker Jaap Schouten, Executive 

Director of the National 

Capital Commission's 

Planning Branch. 

GCA President Jim McCarthy 

opened the meeting with a 

year-end summary of the 

Association's affairs and an 

overview of its future plans'. 

Congratulations and applause 

were extended to outgoing 

members Barbara Liddy, 

Harold Jones, Wendy Sailman, 

George Papadas and Renate 

Mohr. Barbara Liddy and 

Harold Jones were commended 

for many years of service 

with the-GCA. 

MPP Claude Bennett requested 

the GCA support Glebe 

Centre's request for an increase 

in nursing home beds. 

He congratulated the GCA for 

its competency and awareness 

in dealing with changes and 

issues arising from urban 

growth. He then bid farewell 

to the Glebe which, in 

the reorganization of electoral 

boundaries will fall 

outside his Ottawa South 

riding. 

Alderman Rob Quinn spoke 

of improved community relations 

between City Hall and 

the Glebe. He noted the 

value of the Lansdowne Development 

Advisory Committee 

saying he and Mayor Durrell 

feel the city shouldn't contribute 

more than the 1.5 

million now set aside for 

the relocation of the Ex. 

On the Ritz Restaurant he 

has the mayor's promise to 

monitor and resolve any 

parking problems. Plans for 

Bank Street's streetscape 

may be finalized and implemented 

this year. In closing 

he stated his reluctance 

to support the decentralization 

of embassies or offices 

from the areas where

Parking permit fees go up 

By Joan Over 

Glebe residents without 

driveways must now pay double 

the fees they have been 

paying since 1984 for the 

privilege of parking on the 

street. 

Ottawa City Council decided 

last month to raise the 

fees for on-street parking 

permits from $5 to $10 per 

month. The rate increase is 

effective immediately and 

applies to both new permits 

and renewals. 

An earlier proposal by 

city staff had recommended a 

higher fee of $20 in order 

to cover added costs of 

maintenance on streets with 

permit parking. 

The $10 a month fee was 

approved by the city's Physical 

Environment Committee 

before its final approval by 

City Council, but some aldermen 

felt the increase was 

too steep. Capital Ward Alderman 

Rob Quinn proposed an 

$8 a month fee for on-street 

parking. His motion was defeated. 

After pointing out that 

many Canadian cities charge 

much higher fees for onstreet 

parking and that 

driveway owners must pay 

property taxes on the land 

they use for parking, Quinn 

said, "Ten dollars seems a 

pretty good deal, all things 

considered."

New directors for GCA 

they do business simply for 

security purposes as in the 

case of the American embassy. 

MP Michael Cassidy spoke 

clearly of the need for national 

organizations such as 

the NCC and the NAC to maintain 

communication and 

strive for the support of 

the communities in which 

they are located. He cited 

the Mile Circle debate and 

the Rideau Hall grounds closure 

as examples of too little 

communication too late. 

Guest speaker Jaap Schouten 

gave a lengthy presentation 

on the NCC's Federal 

Land Use Plan. Over the 

next six to eight months the 

NCC's Planning Branch is 

inviting public input into 

their long range planning 

process. This concerns 

plans for NCC lands for the 

next two or three decades 

and includes provincial and 

municipal lands. It involves 

parkway systems and the 

accommodation of government 

departments and agencies 

among other things. Possibilities 

for local input are 

considerable given the 

amount of NCC lands surrounding 

the Glebe, including a 

portion of Lansdowne Park.

New retail and office building at Second and Bank 

By Joan Over 

Workers have started excavating 

for a two-storey retail 

and office building to 

be erected on Second Avenue 

near Bank Street. The 

building will be situated on 

what has been a vacant lot 

behind the Home Hardware 

Store. 

Developer Sal Khan of Avalon 

Mews Limited said the 

new building will be named 

Avalon Terrace. He said the 

exterior of the building 

will be pale grey stucco 

with maroon awnings at the 

windows, matching the exterior 

of the adjoining Avalon 

Mews building. 

Retail shops will occupy 

the ground floor of the new 

building and approximately 

5,000 square feet of office 

space will be available on 

the second storey. The project 

will include 12 underground 

parking spaces and 12 

surface parking spaces. 

Of the 76 neighbouring 

residents notified about the 

project, only one objected 

to offices and shops on the 

site. 

Original plans for development 

of the site included 

converting the former Co-op 

Garage, now part of the Home 

Hardware Store, along with 

part of the vacant lot, into 

38 residential units. Lack 

of funding from the provincial 

government and objections 

to the height of the 

building caused those plans 

to be revised. 

"The Glebe Communl 

ociation couldn't siJ 

five-storey project/ 

said, "and a residet 

building with only 1 

stories didn't make 

economically." 

After several mont 

planning, the develc 

showed their current 

to the GCA. 

Khan said, "We 

proposal to the comi 

association and it 1 

within the guidelinE 

Glebe Neighbourhood 

also fell within thE 

We weren't asking fc 

zoning changes. Ne]

LETTERS 

LE'TTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Thank you Sandy MacDonell 

Editor, Glebe Report: 

A letter dated January 10, 

1986, from the Honorable Ed 

Fulton, Minister of Transportation 

and Communications, 

states that yes, sound barriers 

will go up along the 

Queensway from Bronson Avenue 

to the Kent Street offramp. 

When the news was received, 

Glebe residents who were 

directly or indirectly affected 

by the noise and air 

polution from the Queensway 

were ecstatic. For this 

writer, ten long years of 

waiting for sound barriers 

were over. 

The credit for this amazing 

turnabout by the provincial 

government goes not to 

the Glebe Community Association, 

not to past or present 

M.P.s M.P.P.s or aldermen, 

but to a Glendale Avenue 

resident, Mr. Sanford Mac- 

Donell or "Sandy" as he is 

known to his neighbours. 

Over the years he wrote 

countless letters, attended 

countless meetings and often 

received little encouragement 

or support from those 

he sought assistance from. 

Other individuals had from 


Re: Sobriety House article, 

Glebe Report, May 9, 1986 

edition. It seems that no 

matter what happens, your 

"rag" is determined to cast 

the objectors to the building 

extension at Sobriety 

House in the role of the 

"red-necks" of Second Avenue. 

After over an hour on the 

telephone to your reporter, 

Inez Berg, the other night, 

two statements were attributed 

to me which certainly 

do not reflect my views on 

the matter. 

The first statement: "What 

was a residence in character 

and function will now become 

an institution with all the 

new space for counselling 

and extra staff." 

Sobriety House planned to 

accommodate 20 inmates, 9 

staff, offices, counselling 

and parking for families, 

friends and significant others 

in a two-storey house on 

an undersized residential 

lot. The zoning bylaws per- 

time to time pursued this 

issue without success. 

Sandy persevered because he 

believed that the Glebe 

should be protected against 

the adverse affects of the 

Queensway. 

The reasons why this was 

such a difficult task and 

why it had been decided and 

and accepted that the westend 

sound barriers should 

stop at Bronson are now history. 

The construction of 

the barriers will be a personal 

victory for Sandy and a 

superb legacy for one person 

to leave *behind for his 

neighbours. 

Sandy and Mary MacDonell 

are leaving the Glebe after 

residing here for eighteen 

years. With their fond memories 

of Glebe life, I would 

like Sandy to take with him 

our recognition of his contribution 

to the welfare of 

our neighbourhood. 

We would like to publicly 

thank Sandy and bid a fond 

farewell to our Glendale 

Avenue hero. 

Lynn Smyth 

on behalf of the 

Glebe Residents for 

Sound Barriers 

Resident feels remarks 

taken out of context 

mit a maximum of 8 persons 

unrelated by blood, marriage 

or adoption to co-habit a 

full-sized residential lot 

in an R-4 zone in all residential 

properties other than 

group homes. The zoning bylaw 

does not limit the number 

of occupants permitted in 

a group home located in a 

residential zone. To permit 

an extension on such a property 

therefore allows an unreasonable 

accommodation 

burden on a residential lot. 

We objected to the extension 

on those grounds, amongst 

others. 

The second statement: 

"Middle-aged alcoholics pose 

less of a threat to our 

children than adolescent 

drug addicts." 

Treatment of inmates by 

Sobriety House has changed 

in recent years. Instead of 

the average inmate being a 

45-year-old rehabilitant alcoholic, 

the current average 

is a 22-year-old rehabilitant 

drug addict. In fact 

the threshold age for treatment 

of young male drug add- 

icts at Sobriety House is 

16. For a 16-year-old to 

require treatment, he has to 

have had a problem for some 

time. I questioned the rationale 

for locating such a 

facility bang opposite the 

First Avenue Elementary 

School. It was in that context 

that my statement was 

made. 

Several other appropriate 

Mr. Davies' opening remark 

about the Glebe Report indicates 

that he is perhaps unaware 

that news and views 

appearing in the GCA and 

Alderman's columns are not 

synonymous with editorial 

opinion of the Glebe Report. 

I would add they do not 

influence the reporting of 

news either. 

Statements 'attributed' to 

John Davies were made by him, 

not once but several times 

during our interview. There 

was not sufficient space to 

quote all he had to say on 

Sobriety House. 

In my article I preceded 

the second quote "Middle 

aged alcoholics..." with 

"As John Davies says,". 

This was because that comment 

summed up feelings of 

doubt expressed by other residents 

as well. Edited, the 

copy read "John Davies said 

'Middle aged alcoholics...' 

This may have made his comment 

appear slightly less 

relevant than I intended. 

However, within the substance 

and context of the entire 

story I certainly did 

not use this or anything he 

said to sensationalize a 

sensitive community issue. 

I declined to report several 

of his comments in order to 

avoid the very journalistic 

climate he accuses me of 

creating. 

In reading his letter it 

seems to me it supports even 

more fully than my article 

More letters page 6 

and relevant issues were 

discussed during our long 

telephone conversation, far 

more relevant than the last 

statement, but for "journalistic" 

reasons my statements 

were obviously more 

pragmatic than sensational 

and consequently, it seems, 

did not merit a report. 

Reporter responds 

John G. Davies 

that statements attributed 

to him do indeed reflect his 

views on the matter. 

Mr. Davies letter makes it 

clear he is sensitive to the 

possibility of himself and 

other residents being stereotyped 

or "cast" in a "role". 

In view of that I ask him to 

consider his use of the term 

"inmate" to describe Sobriety 

House residents. 

Webster's dictionary defines 

inmate as "one of a family 

or group occupying a single 

residence, esp: a person confined 

to an asylum, prison 

or poorhouse." I feel it 

fair to say modern usage and 

interpretation is more depictive 

of an individual 

requiring incarceration or 

forcible confinement. At 

no time in my interview with 

Sobriety House Director, Ken 

Duffy and his staff or anywhere 

in the printed materials 

by and about Sobriety 

House were those living 

there described as inmates. 

The word used is "fesident". 

During my interview with 

John Davies he objected 

strongly to the description 

of the residents as "chemically 

dependent" declaring 

the term was "merely a euphimism 

for drug addict". I 

trust he will understand it 

is in keeping with his sensitivity 

to the subtlety of 

word usage that I have 

drawn attention to this.

Saddened and embittered by Health Act 

Editor, GZebe Report: 

This is a difficult letter 

to write for I must suppress 

my sorrow and anger in order 

to explain clearly, without 

lashing out, why I am about 

to "opt-out" of my community. 

My husband and I are a 

team. He is a medical specialist 

in private practice 

who elected not to become a 

member of OHIP at its inception. 

I am a registered 

nurse and have always had an 

active part in running my 

husband's office; as the unpaid 

office nurse during the 

early years when we could 

not afford to hire help (and 

when the government would 

not allow doctors to pay 

their working spouses), and 

now as office manager and 

comptroller.

together, my husband and I

In spite of the incredible 

shambles which the practice 

of obstetrics made to our 

household routine, we have 

each continued our professional 

education, with my 

husband developing recognized 

expertise in three subspecialties... 

on our own 

time and at our own expense. 

My husband has provided 

countless hours of professional 

education through seminars, 

classes and clinics 

for students of Ottawa University 

and Algonquin College 

and for the medical community...on 

his own time and at 

his own expense. We have 

combined our medical skills 

with a love of wilderness 

canoeing to become medical 

overseers of a wilderness 

learning centre; travelling 

long distances to set up a 

hospital cabin, teach and 

manage first aid and serve a 

scheduled term of residence 

each summer at a youth camp 

...on our own unpaid precious 

holiday time and at our 

own expense. I don't mean 

to imply that these activities 

are in any way unique; 

most medical families have a 

similar record of service. 

My husband and I are saddened, 

insulted and embittered 

by the Canada Health Act 

and Bill 94: two demeaning 

and vindictive pieces of 

legislation. Through all 

the years of working for the 

community we had no thought 

of reward...it was the natural 

extension of a caring 

profession...but it is terribly 

disappointing to realize 

that our years of helping 

others have no weight on 

the scales of public opinion 

So disappointing that I no 

longer feel the need to respond 

to the needs of the 

community. When Bill 94 is 

passed I will discontinue 

all volunteer work and will 

resign from the Winterlude 

Joint Planning Committee, 

the newly-developing Public 

Events Traffic Committee, 

the Council of Women of Ottawa 

and Area, the Ottawa-

Lawn parking still an issue 


My husband was reading 

through the May issue of the 

Giebe Report when he came 

across the letter on page 5 

concerning enforcing lawn 

parking. I read it and I 

promptly got very angry. 

The gentleman (?) who 

wrote this letter should 

check on his information a 

little better. 

I, for one, feel that 

parking on lawns should be 

left alone if the people do 

it in an organized and wellsupervised 

fashion. 

For the last 18 years my 

husband and myself have 

parked cars for the Ex. We 

get the cars back on our 

lawns off the road as fast 

and as organized as possible, 

never blocking sidewalks 

and not holding up 

traffic. 

This is the first year we 

have been bothered by the 

city and when I asked if 

there were any complaints I 

was told there were none. I 

have also asked my neighbours 

if there are any complaints 

to tell us. So far 

there have been none. In 

fact one neighbour said she 

enjoys watching us park 

cars. No cars are blocked 

and we stay with the cars 

until they have all left. 

I also got a petition going 

this year which said the 

following: "We, the following 

people, have parked at 

residential homes in the 

Glebe and have found area 

residential parking service 

the best. We are for parking 

the way it has gone on 

for the past years. The 

residents in the Glebe are 

providing a service for the 

people and should continue 

to do so." 

From the list I got 182 

names of people from cars we 

parked that were of age to 

vote. Some of their comments 

were: "Supplied needed 

useful parking for the community"; 

"Should allow freedom 

of choice". 

This was given to the alderman 

(September 9, 1985) 

but as far as I can see nothing 

was done. There was 

also a meeting on August 27, 

1985, where there was a vote 

taken. 57 people attended, 

41 for parking and 16 against. 

Does this mean nothing? 

As a resident of the Glebe 

who has parked cars and put 

up with the Ex, I feel we 

should be allowed to park 

cars. There are a lot of 

other events that hold up 

traffic. Why can't we be 

left alone? When is a vote 

effective? How can you 

fight a picture for proof in 

court?

Objections to garage sale 


I object to the one-day 

all-Glebe Garage Sale, not 

only because I object to 

garage sales but because I 

fear it's becoming an annual 

event. 

The one-day sale does not 

preclude the possibility of 

garage sales on other days 

of the year. 

It assures increased traffic 

all day along all the 

streets while shoppers look 

from cars to see if a sale 

warrants stopping. 

It gives the impression 

that our neighbourhood honours 

the Carnival Syndrome 

inherent in garage sales. 

It is a peculiar or perverse 

contrast to the protest 

that has built up in the 

last 15 years by many Glebe 

residents to Lansdowne Park, 

which is set off from our 

streets, that now welcomes a 

kind of second-hand recycled 

type of commerce in our 

front yards. 

As for the charitable aspect 

of the event, it says 

that our fun and profit come 

before a consideration to 

giving useful clothing and 

household goods to the needy 

of the city. Established 

charitable organizations are 

begging for clothing and 

furnishings.

Major renovations needed at Glebe Collegiate 

By John Smart 

Parents, students and 

school board trustees gathered 

in the Glebe Collegiate 

auditorium May 15 to hear 

reports from the Glebe Modernization 

Committee on the 

current needs of the school. 

Major renovations are needed 

at Glebe and the process 

will now begin to formulate 

a case that can be presented 

to the administration and 

trustees of the Ottawa Board 

of Education for their approval. 

In May, 1984, a full examination 

of Glebe's physical 

facilities was carried out 

by Principal Allan Wotherspoon 

and a committee of 

staff,students and parents. 

They found that Glebe's major 

needs were for additional 

facilities for physical 

education, for the music programme, 

for the library and 

for climate control throughout 

the building. They also 

indicated major deficiencies 

in present facilities for 

staff as well as a number of 

new classroom facilities 

that were needed. 

Since the Wotherspoon report 

two years ago, Glebe has 

only received money for one 

item on their list, $300,000 

for improved access to the 

building for the handicapped. 

Major renovations recently 

undertaken by the OBE at 

Ottawa Technical High School 

and at Nepean cost several 

million dollars and are usually 

done in phases over a 

three or four year period. 

There is no doubt about 

Glebe's claim on the Board's 

attention. With a current 

enrolment of more than 1600 

the school houses more than 

10% of the OBE's secondary 

school students. There is 

no reason for anyone to put 

up with inadequate facilities. 

First-class reputation 

Glebe has a first class 

reputation for its academic 

programmes and the Board has 

been asking more and more of 

the school in recent years, 

increasing the number of 

programmes at the school. 

The school receives requests 

for cross boundary transfers 

from all over the city and 

cannot accept those that do 

apply from outside its boundaries. 

The administration 

and staff of the school, 

therefore, have every right 

to expect physical facilities 

that match their first 

class work with the students. 

As the Glebe Modernization 

Committee said to the Board 

in their letter of 29 April, 

1986: "It is the struggle 

to maintain this excellence 

in a seriously deteriorating 

physical environment which 

is the core of our concern." 

What happens next? The 

Glebe Modernization Committee 

is continuing to meet 

and welcomes your help. 

(Contact Brian Huggins at 

232-0286) Trustee Brian 

McGarry and I have promised 

our help in convincing our 

trustee colleagues, as has 

Trustee Marjorie Loughrey 

who attended the May 15 meeting 

and is a long time 

friend of the Glebe. 

Fall budget 

Crunch time will come 

N EWS 

later in the fall on 1986 

when the superintendents 

form their budget recommendations 

for the trustees and 

in early 1987 when those 

recommendations are either 

approved or defeated by the 

trustees for the 1987 budget 

year. 

Financial pressure 

The OBE is under heavy 

financial pressure and more 

help from the province is 

needed for renovations like 

those needed at Glebe. In 

the next three years the 

province intends to extend 

funding to Grade 13 for the 

separate schools and to create 

a francophone school 

board for Ottawa-Carleton. 

In the process the Ministry 

of Education should not forget 

the needs of the older 

public boards and I hope 

they won't.

School Board Trustee.

Glebe Centre 

gives away 

mattresses 

By Sue Pike 

The Glebe Centre Incorporated 

has given away over 50 

mattresses to a variety of 

charitable organizations 

this month. 

The foam-filled mattresses 

are among the 199 that are 

being replaced after nearly 

13 years in the residence. 

Some of the remaining mattresses 

will be sold, but 

there are still some available 

to non-profit groups. 

Among the groups that have 

taken advantage of the offer 

is Glebe-St. James United 

Church Refugee Sponsorship 

Committee. They are expecting 

their fourth refugee 

family to arrive from southeast 

Asia shortly and two of 

the mattresses will help 

furnish an apartment on Arlington 

Avenue. 

The Ottawa Youth Hostel, 

which offers low-cost shelter 

to young travellers, was 

delighted to receive 15 of 

the Glebe Centre's hand-medowns.

Glebe Scouts spend weekend at Danford Lake 

By Adrian Camfield 

Ninteen boys and three 

leaders of the 36th Ottawa 

(Glebe St.James) Scout Troop 

enjoyed their Spring (?) 

Camp on May 2 - 4, 1986. 

The question mark refers to 

the weather, which on that 

weekend sometimes made us 

think we were back to winter 

and sometimes ahead to the 

driest summer. 

Our original plan had been 

to camp with the seven other 

troops of the Chaudière Area, 

but the very dry April this 

year made the fire risk at 

the Area's site unacceptably 

high for such a large gathering. 

After the "monsoon" 

of May 20-25, this may be 

hard to imagine, but the 

dust was thick on the road 

to the alternate location 

near Danford Lake, Quebec, 

which we had visited last 

fall. 

On the Friday night the 

three patrols pitched their 

tents, had a hot mug-up and 

tried to settle down for the 

night. The cold wind, the 

flapping canvas and the excitement 

of the first night 

in camp meant that all did 

not sleep soundly. Why is 

it the boys with the biggest 

voices wake first with an 

irresistable need to tell 

their friends about the 

night's happenings? 

After an early breakfast, 

the Falcon and Rat patrols 

began the construction of a 

signal tower three metres

evident.

we back to winter? In spite

perhaps because of it, there

the patterns of frost on the 

long grass. Hot chocolate 

around the fire before breakfast 

was much appreciated. 

During a leisurely morning 

Scouter Don Johnston tested 

some of the boys on the requirements 

for various badges. 

The warming sun dried 

the frost from the tents 

and all too soon it was time 

to fold them away. With the 

rising temperature came 

black flies. When our drivers 

arrived we were glad to 

escape the flies' attention

Youthful Glebe actor stars in TV mini soap opera 

By Joan Gorst Giles 

For those of you wondering 

what some of our youth are 

doing these days, take a 

peek at their own television 

program, new on CJOH-TV. The 

time is 11:30 Saturday mornings. 

In their half-hour slot, 

Highschool Confidential has 

every minute utilized - interviews 

with teenage personalities, 

advice to teenagers, 

tongue-in cheek humour 

and even weekly "teen commandments". 

As if that were not enough 

the focal point of the show, 

an eight week mini-soap, 

"Future Days", is off and 

running well. The soap was 

written by Ron Carson and 

the show's producer, Richard 

Cooper. 

Eight teenagers were chosen 

from 525 auditioned in 

the Ottawa area. Of those 

Susan Bryson and Fraser 

Aubrecht became Highschool 

Confidential's charming 

hosts. 

Starring in the cast of 

"Future Days" are Teague 

McConnell as Johnny, Stephanie 

Moore as Cynthia, Suzanne 

Parenteau as Sharon, 

Steve Pokotylo as Brad, 

Terra Sigurdson as Fiona and 

Gregor Sneddon as Tom (Killer). 

The show has been shot entirely 

on locations around 

Ottawa. Glebe residents 

will recognize the halls of 

Glebe Collegiate used as 

background for the credits 

of "Future Days" and exterior 

views of the school in 

the "soap". 

CJOH-TV held a press conference 

in the Highschool 

Confidential work studio at 

the beginning of May to introduce 

the cast, writers 

and production team. I'm 

always impressed with the

wizardry of production teams 

and camera crews as I look 

around a studio with its 

props. The reality is often 

incredibly unreal and crude 

and the finished product on 

TV so polished and realistic. 

This studio was no 

different. 

The whole tone of the evening 

was one of graciousness 

and good manners. When one 

hears and reads of the many 

problems teenagers are experiencing, 

it was refreshing 

to spend an hour with a 

talented and charming group 

of young people. 

I spent a few quiet moments 

with Glebe actor Teague 

McConnell which I will share 

with you. 

JGG: Is this your first experience 

with TV,Teague? 

Teague: Yes, my very first. 

JGG: How do you like acting 

without the excitement of a 

live audience? 

Teague: I like it. A stage 

won't allow you to make mistakes, 

so to speak. If 

you're on stage with a live 

audience and make a mistake, 

you hope you can improvise, 

whereas, on TV, you can stop 

the tape and try it again to 

a certain degree. Of course 

you can't keep making mistakes 

over and over again, 

but it allows for a bit of 

that. 

JGG: Have you worked with 

any of the cast before? 

Teague: No. I didn't know 

anyone. the only one 

from the Glebe. I'm at Immaculata 

High School. There 

is another member of the 

cast from the same school, 

Suzanne Parenteau, but we 

didn't know each other. The 

rest are from other areas of 

Ottawa. 

JGG: Do you hope to make 

acting a career? 

Teague: I'd like to. It's 

something I've always talked 

about, but not until recent- 

FOCUS 

ly have I considered it a 

good possibility. T like it 

a great deal. It's a lot of 

hard work. It's not at all 

what I thought it was. I 

thought it was pretty easy 

at one time. I was always a 

pretty hyper guy, lots of 

energy. I thought I could 

act, no problem, but there's 

a lot more to it than that. 

But it's a fun kind of hard 

work and I really enjoy it. 

JGG: How old are you? 

Teague: I'll be 18 in June. 

JGG: What about your schooling? 

Teague: I'm in grade eleven 

and will spend two more 

years at Immaculata. Then 

my best bet would be to take 

drama at university. I'll 

keep my eyes open and read 

the paper a lot, because 

that's where a lot of opportunities 

appear, in ads under 

theatre. There'll be an 

ad about a play to say they 

need five extras. You've 

got to get around to get 

your name known, no matter_ 

how small the part. 

JGG: Is there any background 

of acting in your family? Or 

related arts? 

Teague: My mother is a writer 

(N.B. Teague's mother, 

Joan Over, is well-known in 

the Glebe as editor of the 

Glehe Report). My father is 

a geophysicist. He plays a 

bit of piano, a bit of 

guitar. But I'm the first 

one to be interested in acting. 

I've always been more 

of a creative person than, 

say, a mathematical one. 

JGG: Well, Teague, I'm sure 

there are going to be many 

of us in the Glebe who will 

watch your future with great 

interest. Good luck to you 

and to the rest of the cast.

New service to mind your home 

By Rosemary Fitzpatrick 

Why worry about your home 

while you are absent? Why 

not leave your cares to Home 

Minders? 

Home Minders is a service 

that looks after your home 

and pets while you are away 

for any period of time. 

This was the brainstorm of 

Centretown resident, Colin 

Chalk. The idea came to him 

just over a year ago while 

speaking with friends who 

had just returned from vacation, 

and felt their holiday 

would have been more enjoyable 

without the worry of 

the safety of their home. 

Research to set up this 

business took approximately 

four months. It is legally 

registered in Toronto, bonded 

and insured. Colin also 

gleaned information from 

Small Business Development, 

as well as the Crime Prevention 

Units of both the 

Ottawa and Kanata Police Departments. 

Colin will look after your 

home and pets for a fee of 

$7. per visit, anywhere from 

a few days to a few months. 

Your plants will be watered, 

your mail brought in and 

your pets will be tended to. 

This fee also includes timer 

switches so that your lights 

will be turned on automatically 

at desired times. The 

time is alternated on a regular 

basis. 

If the owner is absent for 

a lengthy period the garden 

is tended anu the grass is 

freshly cut. When you return 

you will find fresh 

bread and milk in your refrigerator, 

compliments of 

Home Minders. 

Home Minders is a one man 

operation, but during peak 

seasons, he is assisted by 

Barbara Button (also bonded 

and insured), who in the 

fall will be entering her 

final year in the Business 

Administration program at 

Algonquin College. 

In its first year, Home 

Minders has been trouble 

free. The growth of this 

operation indicates the need 

for such a service. 

Jason Moscovitz, a national 

reporter and a resident 

of Ottawa South has availed 

himself of this service 

while vacationing. He admits 

that while he was a bit 

leery of leaving his keys 

with a stranger, he found 

Home Minders very satisfactory. 

Colin has a regular number 

of requests to take care of 

cats, birds, fish, etc. 

while their owners are away. 

However, one of the more unusual 

requests came from a 

couple who left,their two 

teenage sons at home and 

asked Colin to check on the 

boys and provide them with 

$5. each day. 

For a worry free vacation

City offers leadership program 

By Kahlia Baksh 

Too old for camp? Too 

young to work? Then maybe 

the Leadership in Training 

program offered by the cities 

Ottawa and Gloucester 

is for u. 

The program offers a combination 

of in-class training 

and placements, working 

in parks, recreation programs, 

and a chance to meet 

people and have some fun. 

"We train them in child 

behaviour, special needs and 

job seeking techniques," 

George Blake, director of 

the program said. "We are 

also offering first-aid 

certification this year." 

Highlights of the program 

include a placement in a 

recreation program to gain 

work experience and a camping 

trip to develop camping 

skills. 

At the end of the program, 


the successful candidates 

receive Leadership certificates 

and their names are 

kept on file with the City 

of Ottawa Recreation Branch 

as a reference for future 

employment. "The skills 

acquired are useful in obtaining 

that important tirst 

job, be it in recreation or 

in any other field", said 

Mr. Blake. 

While the emphasis is on 

marketable job skills, participants 

also play sports, 

have barbeques and interact 

socially with their own age 

group. 

More information 

There is still room in the 

program. George Blake may 

be contacted at 564-1271 

for further information and 

brochures are available at 

your local community centre 

or swimming pool. 

OBE to prohibit smoking 

By Paul Balsamo and Susie Saghbini 

Effective November 1, 

1987, the Ottawa Board of 

Education will prohibit 

smoking in all'its facilities. 

The changes are aimed 

at achieving a healthier 

work environment for students 

and staff. 

Medical evidence clearly 

shows that smoking is a significant 

health risk. Tobacco 

smoke is also an irritant 

to non-smokers and can 

worsen allergic and cardiac 

conditions. There is increasing 

evidence that nonsmokers 

constantly exposed 

to second-hand smoke are at 

a significantly greater 

health risk than those who 

are not exposed. 

Although an immediate ban 

on smoking would be preferable, 

it would not be appropriate 

at this time to 

dictate such a drastic 

change so suddenly. Instead, 

the board believes 

that the interests of both 

health and haLmony in the 

workplace would be served 

better by a more gradual 

phasing in of smoking restrictions. 

The interim policy on smoking 

for the next school year 

is contained in the following 

five-point plan. 

There will be no smoking 

in common areas of any 

building, including lobbies, 

corridors, stairways, 

offices, classrooms, meeting 

rooms, conference rooms, 

libraries, gymnasia, cafetarias, 

washrooms and other 

such rooms. 

Schools and other OBE 

buildings may establish 

smoking lounges if there are 

equivalent or larger lounges 

for non-smokers. A designated 

lounge for smokers is 

to be separated from a 

lounge for non-smokers by an 

air-tight barrier. 

Secondary and adult students 

are to be permitted to 

smoke only in designated 

outdoor areas. Elementary 

students will not be permitted 

to smoke on OBE property. 

Smoking will not be permitted 

on buses used by the 

OBE at any time. 

Organizations and persons 

renting OBE property will 

not be permitted to smoke 

inside the building as a 

condition of their lease. 

Then, in September of 

1987, no one will be allowed 

to smoke anywhere on OBE 

campuses.

Lansdowne District Girl Guides 

Visitors view our tulips 

By Barbara Liddy 

Last fall Brownies and 

Guides from the Glebe helped 

the NCC plant tulip bulbs 

beside Dow's Lake to celebrate 

75 years of Guiding. 

This Spring we have all benefited 

from their work by 

the beauty of these flowers 

in full bloom. 

Amongst the many visitors 

who came to Ottawa to see 

the tulips were 650 Guiding 

delegates from all over Ontario. 

They attended the 

Ontario Annual Provincial 

Meeting, hosted by Ottawa 

Area during the second week 

in May. Several Guiders 

from Lansdowne District also 

attended the meeting and 

many were helpers. 

Follow that dream 

The theme for the convention 

was "Follow that Dream" 

Guiding has always had 

dreams: Lady Baden Powell 

dreamed of International Conferences; 

Juliette Low wanted 

to host the Fourth World 

Conference; some dreamed of 

having our own World Guide 

House. In Canada, our 

dreams have included hosting 

the 1957 World Camp at 

Doe Lake, building a National 

Headquarters, planning 

for and purchasing campsites 

(LODESTAR Provincial Annual 

Conference, 1986). The list 

is endless but dreams do 

come true. 

The guest speaker at the 

Opening Ceremonies was the 

Honourable Lincoln Alexander, 

Lieutenant Governor of Ontario 

who spoke of his own 

dreams and many achievements. 

After the speeches a delightful 

skit of Alice in Wonderland 

was presented by girls 

from the Ottawa Area and a 

short concert by Dominic 

D'Arcy who was received with 

great enthusiasm. 

Gorgeous weather 

Many Guiders had never 

visited Ottawa before and a 

variety of tours of the city 

was offered thanks to the 

gorgeous weather we were 

able to show off Ottawa in 

all its glory. 

Ottawa Area has almost 

10,000 members in Guiding 

now and the figure is always 

increasing. Lansdowne District 

has an increasing number 

of girls interested in 

Guiding but without leaders 

these girls cannot fulfill 

their "dreams" of joining. 

If you have any experience 

in Guiding, or no experience 

but lots of enthusiasm, perhaps 

you would consider becoming 

a Guider. Training 

is provided and the rewards 

are very satisfying. If 

interested please contact 

Mary L'Abbe at 232-5266 or 

Mary Kovacs at 237-5718. 

Congratulations to Erin 

Gowling who won First prize 

in the Ottawa area Cookie 

Poster Contest.

The Brownies are Jessica Dwyer, Corinna Dupuis, Natasha 

Mason, Alison Wolanski, Jeanette Kenney, Melanie Mason, 

Krissie Annis, Onya Hogan-Finlay and Gillian Bower.

the beauty of the tulips they helped to plant beside Dow's

CAPITAL COLUMN 

New structure for committees on city council 

By 

Alderman 

Rob Quinn 

Spring warmth, summer heat 

and the Festival of Spring, 

Aqualude and Fireworks inspire 

vacation fantasies in 

school kids, public servants, 

salespeople and even 

aldermen. 

We'll try to disappear for 

a while in late June and/or 

early August, depending on 

when Denise can leave and 

barring a last-minute important 

council item or unforeseen 

events. 

While Alderman Nancy Smith 

and I had proposed $8 a 

month, council decided on 

$10 a month for permit parkers. 

Objectors to the original 

$20 proposal had quite 

rightly pointed out that the 

staff argument on increased 

costs to the city left something 

to be desired. 

Nevertheless, council concluded 

that parking on 

streets for extended periods 

(in authorized areas) costs 

more and is worth more than 

$5 a month. 

Owners obviously pay some 

of their taxes on the part 

of their land used for parking. 

For example if an owner 

pays $2000 annually in 

taxes on a property, 10% of 

which is used for parking, 

the annual tax is $200. Then 

there is the cost of the 

land to consider. While the 

permit parker does not enjoy 

a private exclusive spot, 

$10 per month seems a good 

deal, all things considered. 

Council Committees 

A few columns back reported 

possible changes in the 

standing committee structure 

of City Council. It has now 

adopted a revised proposal 

which includes a new fourth 

committee: Economic Affairs. 

It will assume responsibility 

for economic development, 

economic regulation 

and housing. 

Planning Committee, which 

is overloaded, will transfer 

recreation matters to Physical 

Environment which will 

become Community Resources 

and Operational Services. 

Administration, Policy 

and Priorities would become 

Budgets, Priorites and Pro- 


grams. It will have an 

oversight responsibility in 

respect of expenditure recommendations 

from other 

standing committees on items 

not already provided for in 

the annual budget. 

Overall advantages of this 

new system of standing committes 

include a better focus 

on generally related items 

and more attention to matters 

economic which tended 

not to get the quantity and 

quality of required attention. 

Disadvantages include 

keeping track of agendas of 

committees of which one is 

not a member but of which 

one must occasionally consider 

matters of special 

concern to one's ward and 

the potentially harmful and 

lingering personal tensions 

in council's allocation of 

members and chairmen to the 

new committee structure. 

Council has directed that 

the new system be operational 

as soon as possible after 

August 1, 1986, but it may 

determine the committee memberships 

and chairmen at the 

July 2 meeting. 

Council traditionally cancels 

meetings in the last 

two weeks of July and August. 

Committee of Adjustment 

Four recent applications 

to the Committee of Adjustment 

have attracted substantial 

interest. 

One asked permission to 

sever the rear yard of 90 

Powell Avenue to construct a 

new house. The new house 

would have faced Lyon 

Street. The applicant withdrew 

his request after the 

GCA, neighbours, the City 

Planning Branch and the alderman 

registered opposition. 

Another proposed to divide 

the already relatively narrow 

lot at 45 Ella Street and 

to build an additional 

dwelling. The committee 

dismissed the application 

which the GCA, residents and 

the alderman opposed. 

The committee approved a 

minor variance to allow a 

reduction in parking spaces 

required by a proposed increase 

in units at 206-212 

Queen Elizabeth Driveway. 

The GCA, owners of neighbouring 

properties and the 

Planning Committee have 

launched an appeal to the 

Ontario Municipal Board. 

This is because the true 

effect of the decision permits 

the expansion from a 

six- to an eight-unit building 

with only one legal 

parking space. 

As last month's edition 

reported, neighbours convinced 

the Committe of Adjustment 

to refuse Sobriety 

House's application for an 

expansion. They argued a 

good case which in no way 

diminishes that of Sobriety 

House. The committee will 

hear another application on 

June 5. 

At my suggestion, Sobriety 

House is organizing another 

meeting with the neighbours 

to see if a good- compromise 

is possible. At the very 

least it is important to the 

community to agree to disagree 

and remain neighbourly 

whatever the final decision. 

The meeting is on June 3 at 

8 p.m. at the Glebe Community 

Centre. 

Crossing Guards 

Unfortunately the regional 

government's traffic survey 

service is unable to supply 

new figures for the anticipated 

adult crossing guard

report. Apparently the demands 

of the Queensway reconstruction 

have resulted 

in this delay. Consequently

they would be able to participate. 

Elections 

Congratulations to Jim 

McCarthy on his re-election 

as president of the Glebe 

Community Association, to

SENIORS 

Seniors model fashions 

By Ellen Schowalter 

Easy Fashions makes it 

easy for the residents of 

Glebe Centre to stay in 

style. Twice a year for the 

past six years Easy Fashions 

has brought its travelling 

collection to the centre. 

It's fun and helps seniors 

who may not be mobile enough 

to go out shopping for 

clothes. 

Everything from nightwear 

to elegant outfits for the 

mother or grandmother of the 

bride was modelled with 

verve by the seniors on Friday, 

May 9. 

Fresh and crisp 

Estelle Barter looked 

fresh and crisp in a dress 

with blue and white mitred 

stripes, accented with a red 

collar and belt. Mrs. 

Penney modelled a cool looking 

dress with yellow, grey 

and white stripes. Blue and 

white polka dots, popular 

again this spring, looked 

lively and up-to-the-minute. 

Eileen Elliot was very 

fashionable in a bright, 

clear yellow dress with 

flanged shoulders. 

Most dresses featured 

bracelet-length sleeves or 

came with a little cover-up 

jacket. The outfits were 

accessorized with beads and 

earrings in complementary 

colours. 

The charming men who 

bravely volunteered to model 

were perfectly dressed for 

sports or casual events in 

navy, burgundy and grey 

jogging suits. They also 

showed comfortable classic 

sweaters co-ordinated with 

slacks in greys and blue/ 

grey combinations. 

The clothing was chosen to 

combine flattering lines, 

easy-care fabrics and fashionable 

design. 

Mrs. McPhee accompanied 

the modelling with suitable 

and expert piano music, a 

nice change from the recorded 

music most often used at 

fashion shows. 

The show ended with a var-

life's necessities like pantyhose.

social, recreational and educational 

programs we offer 

at the seniors' centre and 

residence," said Dorothy 

Steele, co-ordinator of this 

year's event. 

The garden party will be

handicrafts and artwork produced 

over the past year by 

Abbotsford members, demonstrations 

of activities such 

georffette 

as copper enamelling, billiards 

and pottery, as well 

as a fashion show, will be 

among the highlights of the 

day. 

Tea and baked goods will 

be served and entertainment 

by choirs, bellringers and 

individual musicians will 

continue throughout the afternoon. 

The architectural designs 

for the proposed Elderly 

Persons' Centre and 114-bed 

nursing home will be on view 

in the main lobby of the 

residence. 

A money bowl will be available 

to collect funds for 

these building projects. 

"We are very excited by 

the future plans for Glebe 

Centre and we hope others 

will come and share some of 

this excitement with us," 

said Mrs. Steele.

GBG 

First annual banquet and dinner meeting a success 

By Ernest Saar 

It's said "time flies when 

you're having fun". Time 

has flown and already it is 

one year since the Glebe 

Business Group came into existence. 

However, not all 

has been fun in the past 

year. A lot of hard work by 

the officers and executive 

board has structured the organization 

and established 

the group within our community 

and the city at large. 

On May 5 the first annual 

banquet and dinner meeting 

was held in the ballroom of 

the Venture Inn. The banquet 

began at 7 p.m. with a 

choice of chicken Kiev or 

fillet of sole. The GBG 

chairman welcomed all and 

introduced officers and 

guests to the assembly. Sixty-six 

people attended, representing 

over a third of 

our membership. 

The business portion of 

the evening followed with 

reports by the chairman, 

treasurer and committee 

heads. These reports high- 

lighted or augmented the 

official written reports 

handed out earlier. 

Guest speaker 

Dr. James B. Howe, wellknown 

Glebe physician and 

noted speaker on stress man- 

agement, enlightened and entertained 

us Jwith many noteworthy 

preventative stress 

techniques and means of controlling 

stress factors in 

our lives. His recommendations 

of healthy and enjoyable 

food and drink in moderation 

and regular exercise 

and relaxation are needed to 

maintain strong healthy bodies 

which will then be able 

to better absorb or eliminate 

stress factors. 

The evening came to a 

fitting close with the drawing 

of many valuable door 

prizes member firms had donated 

for the occasion. All 

reports are that the evening 

and our first annual meeting 

were a resounding success. 

Membership rates of $25 

were approved unanimously. 

By now block and area representatives 

will have distributed 

renewal forms to all 

members and eligible businesses. 

If you have been 

missed, please contact our 

membership co-ordinator, 

Judy Richards, at Davidson's 

Glebe Jewellers. Please return 

your membership forms 

promptly so new lists can be 

printed and distributed. 

The vast majority of the 

GBG officers and executive 

members were returned to 

their positions by acclamation. 

We welcome Ross Murphy 

RIC MARRERO 

Sales Director 

and Des Booth as new block 

and area reps and say a 

hearty thank you to all who 

have served in this past 

year. 

The first new member accepted 

for 1986-87 at our May 

15 executive board meeting 

was The Papery, owned by 

Catherine Slack. 

We anticipate this summer 

will bring a greatly reduced 

workload for the officers 

and executive from last year 

with regular board meetings

Organized Games and 3 Special'Events Days 

Glebe Little League Baseball 

30 Years Old & Still Growing 

Organized in 1954 by the members of the Ottawa 

Gyro Club, the Glebe Little League was the first 

Canadian Little League Baseball organization in the 

City of Ottawa. Children between the ages of 8 and 

12 who lived within the boundaries of Bronson 

Ave., the Rideau Canal and the Crosstown tracks 

(now the Queensway) were invited to register. The 

opening game of the first season was held on June 

20, 1954, and was highlighted by a parade through 

the streets of the Glebe to a baseball diamond 

located in the corner of Lansdowne Park at Queen 

Elizabeth Driveway and Fifth Ave. 

Thirty years have passed since that first game, 

and while the diamond at Lansdowne Park still exists, 

these years have seen many changes. The 

League has grown from the original 4 teams (50 

players) to 23 teams with over 300 players ranging 

in age from 5 (Tee-Ball) to 18 (Big League). The 

boundaries have grown also. The Glebe Little 

League now draws players from the Glebe, Centretown, 

Ottawa South, Ottawa East and Sandy 

Hill. Baseball diamonds are now located at both 

Lansdowne and Brewer Parks. 

Running a Little League Baseball organization 

takes a lot of time, energy and money. The players 

and parents appreciate the efforts of all the 

organizers, coaches, sponsors and supporters who 

make baseball possible each year.

Some serious concerns about skateboard safety 

By Bill Uppman 

It was a well-used street 

approaching Carling Avenue. 

Two skateboarders were meandering 

along towards a green 

light at the intersection. 

Rolling along, not too close 

to the side of the Areet, 

they blocked a car that was 

headed for the turn lane. 

One made it across the artery 

on the green light. The 

other had to wait for a few 

cars to pass before crossing 

(jayboarding?) at a leisurely 

roll against the red 

light. 

I asked my wife to roll 

down her window, thinking to 

remind the lads of some of 

the finer points of road 

safety. But I failed to 

think of any helpful words 

and only felt frustrated as 

they nonchalantly passed on. 

What can one do in the face 

of such cool disrespect of 

danger? 

I remember when I first 

skateboarded. The challenge

steep slopes and wrecked the

Scary thing 

I can't fully relate to 

these modern boards that can 

challenge cars. The scary 

thing is that so many kids 

do just that. 

I don't want to sound like 

an old reactionary, but I 

hope I have outlined some of 

the concerns expressed at a

Farewell to Wells Gallery 

By Ellen Schowalter 

After twenty-one years at 

495 Sussex Drive, the Wells 

Gallery is being forced to 

close because of intemperate 

rent increases by the NCC. 

Supportive and visionary, the 

Ensors have been mainstays 

of the Ottawa art community. 

Through the years they have 

represented many Glebe artists, 

such as Pat Durr, Wilma 

Pinkus and Blair Sharpe. 

One must question the NCC's 

judgment in not encouraging 

such a valuable gallery to 

stay open. What will replace 

it on The Mile of History 

leading to the new National 

Gallery? Fast food? A tourist 

kitsch emporium? Yet another 

yuppie watering hole? The 

Hiberna Gallery closed this 

year under similar circumstances. 

Most major cities 

have art galleries clustered 

in the area of great museums. 

Think of Paris, New York or 

Montréal. Encouraging such 

fine galleries would have 

been a wiser course. 

The Wells Gallery will 

hold an auction on Thursday 

and Friday, June 5 and 6, 

at 7pm. Viewing is open from 

1-5 pm, June 4-6. Advance 

bids are accepted. Thank you 

John and Barbara Ensor for 

being there for twenty-one 

years.

FOCUS 

Oak Bay and the Glebe 

village style twins 

By Joan Gorst Giles 

Their climates are different. 

Their architecture is 

different. Yes, even their 

language is often different. 

But they each contain an 

area that has a special kinship 

to each other. I am 

speaking of Ottawa and, at 

least 3000 miles to Canada's 

farthest west extremity, on 

Vancouver Island, - Victoria. 

Both can boast village life 

within a city - what a delight. 

Ottawa has it in the 

Glebe and Victoria in Oak 

Bay Village. 

Neither claim to have 

large shopping centres. Indeed 

to the contrary, they 

are proud of their small 

shops and services which 

draw customers to their 

stores from other areas as 

well as their own. 

Oak Bay can take care of 

all needs of the local folk 

and the only commodities the 

Glebe seems to lack are 

shoes and sewing needs (even 

at that one enterprising 

pharmacist was able to supply 

me with two spools of 

thread the other day!) 

When we were posted here 

last November we looked at 

several distritts. We were 

torn between Rockcliff and 

the Glebe at which a friend 

rather sniffingly remarked 

on how Glebe residents figure 

they are a cut above the 

rest. (She does not live in 

the Glebe!) I smiled as I 

recalled to myself that Oak 

Bay (where we still maintain 

our permanent home) suffers 

from that little misconception 

too. The rest of Victoria 

refers humorously to 

Oak Bay Village as "behind 

the Tweed Curtain." 

Jay-walking continues on 

Oak Bay Avenue as on Bank 

Street although both centres 

have many traffic lights. 

I remember one rather amusing 

incident. A haughty 

old lady was strolling with 

her cane across the street 

against the light. A young 

man in a sports car indignantly 

honked at her as he 

slammed on his brakes. She 

rapped on the hood of the 

car with her cane, peered at 

him and said: "Young man, I 

was here long before the 

traffic lights were," and 

continued on her way quite 

unperturbed. 

Not too long after moving 

here I walked down to Bank 

Street to catch the bus for 

an appointment down on Metcalfe. 

I had forgotten my 

map and popped my head in 

to one of the shops to enquire 

my directions. The 

chap was very polite but 

admitted his ignorance as 

he hadn't gone downtown for 

several years! 

When I was told the other 

day that the Glebe community 

decided which roads in the 

Glebe should be one way and 

which way they should run, 

it reminded me of an article 

my mother sent me from the 

Victoria Times. It was 

entitled "Puddle Duddle" and 

this is it. 

While residents elsewhere 

in Greater Victoria complain 

bitterly about the lack of 

curbs, gutters and suchlike, 

the splendidly odd folk who 

live on Transit Road in Oak 

Bay have lately been incensed 

at the temerity of those 

who would "improve" their 

street. 

Bumps? So what. Puddles? 

Wonderful for sloshing 

through in one's wellies, 

don't you know. Only one 

sidewalk? More than enough, 

old chap. 

As anyone with an ounce of 

Oak Bay Sensitivity will 

know, all such topographical 

features - and concomitant 

lack of those dreary things 

called urban amenities - ensure 

"character." 

It is reassuring, occasionally, 

to be reminded that 

the spirit of Empire is 

alive and well behind the 

Tweed Curtain - nourished by 

tea, crumpets and sheer 

perversity. 

Sic transit gloria mundi 

(how swiftly passes the 

glory of the world).., except, 

perhaps, on Transit. 

(NB. This writer has to 

admit to a Transit Road 

address!) 

All light-hearted joking 

aside - the Oxford Dictionary's 

definition of a villager 

implies rusticity. 

However, I would fondly 

apply such descriptive words 

as'kindly, warm and interested 

when, as a stranger, I 

strolled around the Glebe.

The adventures of Paddington 

Readers of the Glebe Report 

will recall that Paddington 

Bear left Antoinette 

Chéné's Kindergarten class 

at Mutchmor School on April 

14th for a summer job at 

Expo '86 to install flags at 

the Canadian pavilion. 

During the week prior to 

the opening in Vancouver, 

children were arriving at 

school almost daily with 

pictures of the Expo site 

and clear evidence of their 

bear's progress at his new 

job. 

So it was with equal measures 

of surprise and concern 

that on Tuesday, April 

29, the children witnessed 

the arrival of Paddington at 

Mutchmor in an ambulance, in 

the care of attendants 

Michael Dunlop and Jeff 

O'Hearn. 

According to Paddington's 

description of events, it 

was in a moment of sheer 

bear carelessness that he 

slipped and fell from the 

bucket of a cherry picker, 

By Antoinette Cherie 

Doctors and nurses, David, Sarah, Pamela and Christina 

take good care of their bear. 

suffering a scraped nose, a 

broken arm, bruised ribs and 

a number of other contusions, 

the location of which was 

made apparent from many bandages 

on his bear body. 

During his convalescence 

this past few weeks, his 

spirits have been improving 

under the tender, loving 

care of his classmates. 

David Howman invited him to 

his 6th birthday party. 

Stéphane Coté took him to a 

picnic and canoe ride on the 

Rideau Canal. Julia Gomez 

brought him to see the water 

skiing at Dow's Lake and 

David Coyle had him for a 

week-end outing at his home. 

Paddington is enjoying the 

attention his classmates are 

lavishing upon him so much 

that he is almost over the 

disappointment of not being 

able to work this summer and 

save for the purchase of his 

dream motorcycle - oh well: 

Better luck next time 

Paddington. 

Corpus Christi news update 

As a Lenten project, Mr. 

McEvoy's grade 2 and 3 bilingual 

classes donated their 

change for the poor. On 

March 26 they turned over 

$82.07 to Mr. Chris MacDonald 

for use by the Good 

Shepherd Society (St. Brigid's 

Soup Kitchen). 

The junior kindergartens 

of Corpus Christi faithfully 

brought in their nickels and 

dimes and collected $80 for 

a needy family. It was a 

tremendous accomplishment 

for such little people and 

thanks must also go to their 

parents. 

Corpus Christi grade 4 

classes celebrated the Sacrament 

of Reconciliation on 

April 25. Fathers French, 

O'Donnell, Whelan and Bernardo 

officiated at the ceremony. 

Afterwards parents, 

teachers, priests and students 

enjoyed a luncheon 

party. 

The grade 6 students of 

Corpus Christi received 

their confirmation on April 

30 at St. Patrick's Church. 

The Most Reverend Archbishop 

Plourde officiated and a reception 

was held afterwards 

in the parish hall. 

The grade 2 children received 

their first communion 

on Sunday, May 4, at Canadian 

Martyrs Church and on 

Sunday, May 11, at Blessed 

Sacrament Church. A reception 

was held afterwards in 

the parish hall. 

Our congratulations to all 

the children of Corpus 

Christi who received these 

important sacraments. 

Corpus Christi celebrated 

a fabulous Education Week. 

We have certainly started 

"refining our gold". 

On Wednesday, May 30, the 

school presented its Spring 

Concert which was a great 

success. 

On Thursday, May 1, a Marian 

liturgy was held honouring 

our Blessed Mother. 

On Friday, May 2, a variety 

of activities took place. 

Students taught egg decorating 

and origami. Simon 

Brascoupé, an Indian artist 

and parent, demonstrated 

some of his artistic techniques. 

The Ottawa Public 

Library came in to give a 

library presentation. Les 

Gorman, a teacher from St. 

Joseph's High School, came 

to sing some of his original 

compositions. David Cohen 

conducted a chess competition. 

The Scottish Highland 

and Country Dance Society 

came in to give dance lessons 

to all of us. It was a 

wonderful rewarding week. 

Last but not least, Jim 

Downey, custodian of Corpus 

Christi, was feted at a 

retirement party held 

in Corpus Christi School gym 

on Wednesday, May 28. This 

warm, humorous, friendly man 

has had 21 years of service 

at the school.

Community association elects new board members 

G CA 

By Jim McCarthy 

This month I have two 

meetings to report on, our 

Annual General Meeting of 

May 22 and our monthly meeting 

on May 27. 

Our AGM was well-attended 

and good-humoured, thanks to 

the efficiency of Beatrice 

Raffoul and the co-operation 

of the Glebe Community Centre 

and its new director, 

Tania Kamienski. 

The highlights of the AGM 

were the election of our new 

board of directors, speeches 

by our three elected representatives 

at the federal, 

provincial and municipal 

levels and a presentation on 

the Federal Land Use Plan by 

Mr. Jaap Schouten, Executive 

Director, Planning Branch, 

NCC. 

New members 

We welcome eight new members 

to our board: David 

Dowse, Dave Hagerman, Bryce 

Schurr, Kent Gooderham, Inez 

Berg, Nancy Courtright , Bob 

Clark and Audrey Godfrey. 

Retirements from the board 

include Wendy Sailman, 

George Papadas, ,Renate Mohr, 

Barbara Liddy and Harold . 

Jones. All these have done 

their share, but we particularly 

express our appreciation 

to Barbara Liddy, who 

has served for several years 

in some of the tougher jobs 

we have (membership!) and 

Harold Jones, who served on 

the very first GCA board of 

directors and has been our 

long-term treasurer. 

In his speech, Michael 

Cassidy, M.P., spoke of the 

importance of community consultation 

by organizations 

like the NCC, which has such 

an impact on Ottawa and 

neighbourhoods like ours 

while having a federal government 

mandate. 

Claude Bennett, M.P.P., 

noted the value of community 

organizations which can anticipate 

and respond early to 

developments in the community 

and thus be a part of 

resolving difficulties. 

Alderman Rob Quinn spoke 

of his first months at City 

Hall and the importance of a 

credible community association. 

He complimented our 

Glebe Business Group on its 

progress since its founding 

meeting barely a year ago. 

Presentation 

The NCC's presentation on 

its new Federal Land Use 

Plan was detailed and exhaustive, 

but useful to us 

who live surrounded by NCC 

land. .14e were encouraged to 

study the issues and respond 

to the planning proposals. 

In his presentation, Mr. 

Schouten did not flinch from 

answering tough questions 

posed to him, precipitated 

by recent incidents such as 

proposals to put the U.S. 

Embassy at Mile Circle and 

the closing of Rideau Hall 

grounds. Questions revolved 

around the designation of 

NCC land in terms of its 

vulnerability to development 

for federal purposes. 

In particular, Mr. Schouten 

cautioned us that the list 

of available sites suitable 

to NCC/Federal uses is limited 

and reminded us that some 

vacant NCC lands (eg. at 

Preston and Carling and at 

Cartier Square) are vacant 

pending future needs. Temporary 

use as parks does not 

imply or grant some right 

that such land will never be 

reconverted to more intensive 

use. 

Interest in the subjects 

under review made for a long 

meeting and we adjourned at 

10:30 p.m. after the usual 

fun drawing door prizes,. 

In terms of our regukar 

business it has also been:a 

busy time. We reacted quickly 

to infill proposals on 

Powell Avenue and Ella 

Street. The first was withdrawn 

and the second was denied 

at the Committee of Adjustment. 

Both would have 

caused increased densities 

inappropriate to their locations 

and the Ella Street 

proposal would have aggravated 

a bad parking situation 

on a narrow street. Critical 

to both successes was the 

way residents in the immediate 

areas mobilized effectively 

to present their views 

Mile Circle 

We lent our support to the 

group trying to Save Mile 

Circle and the New Edinburgh 

Community Association in its 

opposition to the closing of 

Rideau Hall grounds. Both 

groups were highly appreciative. 

We hope our support 

makes some contribution to 

their eventual success. 

At our monthly meeting we 

received a detailed presentation 

on development proposals 

on Patterson Avenue east 

of Bank Street overlooking 

the park. Although more 

dense than we might have 

wished to see according to 

the zoning, we were impressed 

by the support of the 

proposal by neighbouring 

residents, some of whom have 

over the years been in the 

forefront of concerns that 

this vulnerable spot could 

be subject to highrise development. 

Consistent with 

the neighbours' views, we 

expressed ourselves in favour 

of the proposal. The 

quality of the design by 

Barry Robin, who has done 

much work in our area, was a 

major factor in our decision. 

The differing neighbours' 

reactions to the three Glebe 

development proposals just 

mentioned are what make much 

of the GCA's work so difficult 

and so interesting. 

Strict consistency with our 

Neighbourhood Plan and the 

zoning bylaws is not always 

possible in a neighbourhood 

that conforms to so little 

in the planners' handbooks. 

Yet we have to maintain adherence 

to the spirit of the 

Neighbourhood Plan. 

We were requested to support 

plans for a pilot project 

to implement adult 

crossing guards for school 

children at key intersections. 

While there was much 

sympathy around the table, 

the majority of directors 

felt that more information 

should be forthcoming from 

the city on such issues as 

cost. This issue will be 

back on our June agenda. 

Public meetings 

Between this writing and 

publication there will be 

public meetings on two very 

sensitive issues in the 

Glebe: a new application by 

Sobriety House to expand 

physically to accommodate 

more residents and the trade 

off with community recreation 

space at Lansdowne created 

by the Glebe Parents' 

Day Care Centre's wishes to 

locate in the same area. 

Our neighbourhood is a 

constant source of controversies 

- I guess it keeps 

us young.

Art and academia mesh in author's career 

By 

Sharon 

Drache 

ANOTHER COUNTRY 

writings by and about Henry Kreisel. 

Edited by Shirley Neuman. NeWest 

Press, 362 pages, $19.95 cloth, $9.95 

paper. 

Henry Kreisel is a man 

obsessed with remembering 

the past at the same time as 

he continually discovers the 

present. Writings by and 

about him reflect the image 

of a man standing between 

two worlds while also providing 

a detailed study of 

the successful combination 

of a richly led academic and 

literary life. In her introductions 

to diverse selections 

including a diary, 

personal correspondence, 

some early and recent fiction 

and several essays, editor 

Shirley Neuman endeavours 

to pay tribute to 

Kreisel not only for his accomplishments 

as an author' 

and an academic but also for 

his devotion to his adopted 

country, Canada. 

Immigration 

She begins where Kriesel 

began when he came to Canada 

in 1940, not as an ordinary 

immigrant but as a Jewish 

refugee who had fled the 

Anschluss in Austria in 1938 

only to be welcomed at British 

and subsequently Canadian 

borders as an 'enemy 

alien'. Fellow internee, 

Eric Koch, described the unjust 

incarceration in his 

book Deemed Suspect: A Wartime 

Blunder (1980) but 

Kreisel's diary (some of 

which is reproduced in 

Koch's book) stands as an 

unadorned archival document. 

Later, in 1956, in a letter 

to his close friend Robert 

Weaver, Kreisel addresses 

his sense of outrage at 

being a double victim, first 

of Nazi tyranny and then because 

of his nationality. 

He speaks to the paradox of 

his internment which gave 

him a block of time to read 

and study precisely when he 

needed it. "It should be 

said that the camps here 

were intellectually stimulating...the 

place lousy with 

doctors of all sorts, medicine, 

philosophy and theology. 

Sitting around a bunk at 

night, an orthodox rabbi 

would argue with a neo-Thom- 

. 

ist and a Marxist was having 

it out with a Platonist...in 

this casual manner I was initiated 

into the world of 

ideas." Kreisel claims the 

most important event of his 

own camp life was his decision 

to write creatively, 

not in his native German, 

but in English. He tried to 

get his hands on some books 

by Canadian authors but couldn't. 

To address his surprise 

at that time and since 

on the topic of discovery of 

the Canadian literary landscape, 

Neuman includes 

Kreisel's hard-hitting, humorous 

essay, 'Has Anyone 

Here Heard of Marjorie 

Pickthall?' written for the 

100th anniversary issue of 

Canadian Literature (Spring 

1984). 

The book reads like a memoir, 

thanks to Neumans careful 

sequencing and bridging 

of selections. She traces 

Kreisel's career from 

his student days in English 

language and literature at 

the University of Toronto 

in the mid-forties to the 

publication of his highly 

acclaimed first novel, The 

Rich Man (1948). Kreisel' 

comments on the literary 

climate of the forties, not 

in Montreal which we have 

heard so much about from the 

First Statement and Preview 

people, but in Toronto. 

The Modern Letters Club 

was founded by Kreisel, 

Robert Weaver, the late 

Robert Sawyer and James 

Reaney. Writers met to discuss 

modern literature and 

read their works in progress 

"At the time E.J. Pratt was 

at Victoria College and 

Phillip Child was at Trinity 

Northrop Frye was beginning 

to exercise enormous influence 

and Marshall McLuhan 

was beginning his explorations 

at St. Michael's." 

Academic and author 

Kreisel wrote his master's 

thesis on poet A.M. Klein's 

Hath Not a Jew (1940). 

Klein had come to Canada 

when he was school age and 

Kreisel when he was eighteen. 

It was exciting to young 

Kreisel to find a literary 

soul mate. Klein's ability 

to embrace the Biblic and 

Rabbinic simultaneously with 

Canadian custom emboldened 

Kreisel to affirm his own 

Jewish heritage. 

Neuman aptly portrays 

Kreisel, the academic, alongside 

Kreisel, the author, 

for both aspects deal with 

the man's essence. He was 

himself an exile who had to 

work doubly hard to make a influences in Kreisel's 

contribution to his adopted writing. Joseph Conrad has 

country. Being a creative been a literary presence 

writer wasn't enough for much in the same way as 

Kreisel. He wanted a time- Klein. But with Conrad, 

bound occupation. He left Kreisel latched on to his 

the University of Toronto to exile and his choice to 

teach at the University of write in English instead of 

Alberta. Among his accomp- his native Polish. 

lishments since he began his T.S. Eliot's Waste Land 

teaching career in 1947 were is also important. Kreisel 

the introduction of the writes a memoir of Vienna, 

first course in Canadian published here for the first 

literature at that univer- time, in which he describes 

sity, the Chairmanship of Vienna as a waste land city, 

the English Department and a city of darkness and light, 

the administrative role of and certainly not the Vienna 

Vice President (Academic) he chooses to remember. 

from 1970 to 1975. 

Should Canadians wish to 

learn about a writer steeped 

in the tradition of 

Goethe and Schiller who is 

equally excited by A.M. 

Klein (1909-1972) and Hugh 

MacLennan, then Henry 

Kreisel, the writer-teacher 

is one of our best examples. 

In a talk he gave for the 

CBC on Problems of Writing 

in Canada, he didn't agree 

with Chester Duncan who said, 

"We haven't discovered what 

we are or where we are going 

and therefore we haven't 

much to say." Kreisel maintained 

his own experience 

had taught him otherwise. 

He singled out for praise 

two Canadian authors who had 

lots to say about Canada, 

Author Dr. Henry KriAsel his friends and former students, 

Robert Kroetsch and 

He was asked to stand for

The essence of this book 

but he declined, choosing to 

is the affirmation in one 

devote his time to the other 

man's writings that art and 

facet of his personality, 

academia do mesh and that 

his writing, which with the 

the Canadian literary landexception 

of a second novel, 

scape is flourishing. 

The Betrayal (1964), several 

academic and literary essays 

and sprinkling of stories, 

had been in limbo. 

Editor Neuman describes 

Kreisel as a slow, methodical 

writer for whom periods 

of not writing have always 

been as important as periods 

of creativity. One feeds 

the other and after a lifetime 

of teaching and university 

administration, Kreisel 

has in fact had a burst of 

creative energy. In 1981, 

he published a collection of 

short fiction, The Almost 

Meeting, which won the J.I. 

Segal Literary Award. 

The inclusion in this volume 

of two recently written 

stories, An Evening with 

Sholem Aleichem and To Visit 

Mother Rachel's Grave, respectively 

underscores 

Kreisel's devotion to the 

tradition of Yiddish storytelling 

and to the Biblical 

past.

CHURCH NEWS 

Apartheid contrary to God's 

love for all people 

By Katherine Laundy 

When police opened fire on 

ten thousand school children 

who had gathered to demonstrate 

against inferior education 

for blacks, it 

sparked off the worst racial 

violence in South Africa's 

history. 

Thousands were killed, injured 

or imprisoned as the 

ensuing riots spread over 

most of the nation. The 

world reacted to the event 

with revulsion and Soweto, 

June 16, 1976, became a symbol 

of the blood spent in 

protest against the unjust 

system of apartheid. 

Ten years later, on June 

16, 1986, the Christian 

Church is calling for a 

world day of prayer to end 

the apartheid system in 

South Africa. People of all 

faiths are asked to pray 

that God will replace the 

existing oppressive structures 

with just ones, remove 

from power those who persist 

in defying His laws and put 

in their place leaders who 

will govern with justice and 

mercy. 

Theological grounds 

Apartheid is a system that 

can be condemned on a theological 

as well as moral, 

political and economic 

grounds. Although some members 

of the whites-only 

Dutch Reformed Church in 

South Africa still find a 

religious basis for apartheid 

(the system was originally 

upheld and justified on 

biblical grounds), members 

of other churches both in 

South Africa and throughout 

the world count apartheid as 

a heresy of the Christian 

faith. 

Apartheid is completely 

contrary to God's love for 

all mankind as expressed 

through the Scriptures. The 

Bible teaches us that we are 

valuable to God because we 

are made in His image and 

that in Jesus Christ all 

differences between people 

are rendered void. Apartheid 

teaches us that we are 

only valuable to God if we 

have the right colour of 

skin. The Bible tells us 

that God's intention for all 

creation and for all mankind 

is harmony, unity, peace, 

justice and righteousness. 

Apartheid tells us we are 

created for separation. The 

Bible tells us that God 

worked through His Son Jesus 

Christ, through his life, 

death and resurrection to 

reconcile the world to Himself. 

Apartheid denies this 

heart of the Christian message 

flatly by stating that 

people are fundamentally irreconcilable. 

In December, 1985, a group 

of Church leaders from 

around the world, including 

Archbishop Edward Scott, 

Primate of the Anglican 

Church of Canada, and the Rt. 

Rev. Robert Smith, Moderator 

of the United Church of Canada, 

gathered in Zimbabwe to 

meet with leaders of the 

South African churches for 

an emergency meeting. They 

discussed the responsibilities 

of Christians and 

churches in the deteriorating 

conflict. Among the 

strongest recommendations 

was a call on the governments 

of the countries represented 

to impose immediate 

and comprehensive sanctions 

against South Africa. 

Here in Canada churches 

condemn the policy and practice 

of apartheid. They 

have persistently challenged 

the Canadian government's 

position on South Africa. In 

1975 the Taskforce on the 

Churches and Corporate Responsibility 

was established 

to deal with issues of human 

rights and social justice in 

the area of corporate activity. 

One issue it has continually 

addressed is company 

activity and investment in 

South Africa. In addition, 

the Inter-Church Coalitiion 

on South Africa works to improve 

the capacity of Canada's 

churches and other concerned 

groups to accomplish 

their work of educating Canadians 

about Africa. 

Churches in Ottawa will be 

participating in this world 

day of prayer as a means of 

showing their support for a 

better society in South Africa. 

Fifth Avenue Free Methodist 

Church will be holding a 

special service on Sunday 

evening, June 15, at 6 p.m., 

the eve of the day of prayer. 

Join the churches in their 

prayers. Help fulfill the 

vision of Rev. Allan Boesak, 

President of the World Alliance 

of Reformed Churches, 

who said, "I have seen a new 

South Africa. I have seen a 

land, not of apartheid, not 

of death, not of chains, but 

a land of joy and a land of 

freedom and a land of peace. 

Let us fight for that land."
