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."

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

next six to eight months the

inviting public input into

process. This concerns

plans for NCC lands for the

next two or three decades

and includes provincial and

municipal lands. It involves

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

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

Editor, Glebe Report:

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.

LETTERS

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.

Over the years, singly or

together, my husband and I

have contributed voluntarily

and winingiy, of our time

and money to community needs

and projects. Our involvement

and/or financial support

have included: the Administration-Medical

Committee,

the Medical Records

Committee, the Coffee Shop

and Cancer Clinic of the

Ottawa Civic Hospital, the

Admission and Discharge

Committee and the Departmental

Steering Committee of

the Riverside Hospital, 9

years of ex-officio membership

the Christie Lake Boys'

Camp; the United Way; disabled

campaigns; loyal support

for the political party

of our choice.

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-

Carleton Regional Health

Unit (Board of Health), the

Glebe Report contributing

team, the Glebe Residents'

Association and the Presidency

of the Dow's Lake Residents'

Association.

Lawn parking still an issue

Editor, Glebe Report:

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

Editor, Glebe Report:

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.

John Smart is an Ottawa

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

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

safe arrival after all the

campfire, this incident

was easy to expand into

evident.

was much appreciated.

Scouter Don Johnston tested

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

call Colin Chalk at 230-2107

and should he be unavailable

leave a message on his recording

machine and he will

return your call as soon as

possible.

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.

in the Ottawa area Cookie

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-

June 6, 1986, GLEBE REPORT -14

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

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

members of council will not

consider the report prior to

late September when interested

groups have indicated

they would be able to participate.

Elections

Congratulations to Jim

McCarthy on his re-election

as president of the Glebe

Community Association, to

as chairman of the Glebe

Business Group and to Bill

Lippman on his election as

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-

ied selection of night and

lounge wear, ranging from a

simple terrycloth bathrobe

to an exotic pink and periwinkle

tropical print coverup

All of the garments were

available after the show,

along with the jewellery and

life's necessities like pantyhose.

Thank you to Morrison's Glebe

Beauty Salon who donated their

services and to Mrs. Olie Goods,

Volunteer Coordinator, who organized

the event.

Centre to host garden party

By Sue Pike

The theme of this year's

Spring Garden Party at the

Glebe Centre and Abbotsford

House is "Glebe Centre on

Parade".

"It's a chance for us to

show off a little by displaying

some of the many

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

held at Glebe Centre, 950

Bank Street on Thursday,

June 26, from 1:30 p.m. to

4 p.m.

A display and sale of

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

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

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.

families.

In this work, Walker utilises holographic, photographic,

June 6, 1986, GLEBE REPORT -19

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.

SCHOOL. NEWS

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

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

Kreisel, the writer-teacher

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

He singled out for praise

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."
