Young offender charged 

in Renfrew Ave. robbery 

BY INEZ BERG 

Police confirmed recently 

that a young offender has 

been charged in a February 

7th robbery on Renfrew 

Avenue. 

About 11 a.m. the homeowner 

was surprised in his bedroom 

by four persons wearing balaclavas, 

who had gained entry 

to the home by kicking open a 

back door. The four tied the 

man's hands and gagged him, 

leaving him in the bedroom. 

They then stole a computer, 

electronic equipment, jewelry 

and money which they took 

from the scene in a car. 

The owner was able to summon 

police. Three cruisers 

arrived and conducted an immediate 

neighbourhood investigation. 

An ambulance was 

sent also. 

On February 14th a traffic 

accident at Bank Street and 

Third Avenue resulted in a 

toddler being sent to hospital. 

As a parent and caregiver 

with two children in strollers 

crossed Bank Street on the 

green light, a vehicle turning 

onto Bank Street from Third 

Avenue struck one of the 

strollers. The young child 

strapped inside, who originally 

seemed to have trouble staying 

awake, was taken to hospital 

for examination and later re-

of our friends and neighbours 

who have volunteered their 

time to make our community a 

special place to live. 

The Whitton Awards, named 

after former ward Alderman 

and Ottawa's first female Mayor 

Charlotte Whitton, were initiated 

by Councillor Jim Watson 

as a way to recognize the efforts 

of all those individuals 

from our community who give 

of themselves for the benefit 

of our community. Twenty-two 

individuals will be receiving 

1994 Whitton Awards in 

recognition of their outstanding 

involvement in one of the 

following categories: Environment, 

Arts and Culture, 

Business and Commercial Activities, 

Community Activism 

Later, a pedestrian reported 

seeing a vehicle with several 

males in it parked in front of 

the targeted home prior to the 

incident. 

Glebe North Neighbourhood 

Watch spokesperson, Brian 

Lynch, concluded that this incident, 

and others which remain 

unsolved, underline the 

need for continued vigilance 

and communication between 

residents in order to make the 

neighbourhood watch successful. 

"We're sitting ducks," he said, 

"because the perpetrators of 

these crimes know the habits 

of area homeowners. They just 

watch their chance and in 

they go."

The child's caregiver sustained 

minor leg injuries. 

The second child, an 18 

month-old, was unharmed, 

though the stroller he was in 

was damaged. Police escorted 

the child home. 

Bright sunlight may have 

been a factor in the accident 

which occurred at about 2 p.m. 

Police have confirmed that the 

driver of the vehicle in the 

incident has been charged.

"Volunteers are the backbone 

of our community," Watson 

explained, "and the Whitton 

Awards give us an opportunity 

to show what a difference 

these people make in our 

community and to express our 

appreciation for their hard 

work." 

The Whitton Awards ceremony 

will be held on Monday 

March 27, at 7:00 p.m. in the 

Assembly Hall at Lansdowne 

Park. The awards ceremony 

will feature entertainment

Orchestra and the Glebe 

Collegiate Senior Band. The 

ceremony will be followed by a 

reception with refreshments. 

Everyone is welcome to attend 

and participate in the 

festivities!

The Glebe welcomes 

the Clintons 

When 9 year-old Shormila 

Chatterjee and her friend 

Romith Naug went skating on 

the Canal February 4th, they 

were hoping they might get to 

see Hillary Rodham Clinton. 

Shormila's mother Babi 

Chatterjee had her camera 

along, and the three joined the 

crowds near Fifth Avenue 

hoping for a glimpse of 

America's First Lady. Shormila 

had several drawings with her 

which she planned to present 

her with if she had a chance to 

get close enough. 

As the two girls sat on the 

steps near the Canal Ritz, a 

distinguished grey haired 

gentleman approached them 

"Did you bring those for me?" 

he asked, smiling. 

"Yes," said Shormila, as the 

three recognized with 

astonishment that the man 

speaking to them was 

President Bill Clinton. He was 

accompanied by Prime 

Minister Jean Chretien and 

other dignitaries. 

Unbeknownst to the public the 

two men were joining their 

wives for lunch at the 

restaurant. 

As his security staff and the 

crowds pressed closer, the 

President suggested to 

Shormila that her mother 

might like to have a picture of 

her and Romith with himself 

and the Prime Minister. 

"I was so anxious to get the 

picture taken," said Babi 

Chatterjee, "that I dropped my 

mitts and the lens cap!' 

She had just finished when 

Hillary Rodham Clinton and 

Aline Chretien and their 

entourage approached from 

the Canal. As the crowds 

thickened she quickly snapped 

another photo or two. 

Then it was all over. The 

Chretiens and Clintons had 

disappeared inside for lunch. 

The girls thought that this 

must have been their most 

exciting, and memorable P.D. 

day ever. 

To top off their day's 

excitement, the owner of the 

nearby Hooker's Beavertails 

concession suddenly decided to 

offer free Beavertails to the 

crowd. The girls skated right 

over to get some. 

"It was a great way to end the 

afternoon," said Babi 

Chatterjee, "relaxing with a 

Beavertail and a cup of coffee." 

P.S. Will we ever find out if 

President Clinton shared 

Shormila's drawings with his 

wife?

Sea Scouts 

BY TIM PARIS, 

TROOP SCOUTER 

The St. Matthew's Sea Scouts 

and Wolf Cubs continued their 

strong volunteering effort this 

year. On the last Friday of 

Winterlude, Sea Scouts and 

Wolf Cubs were out in force at 

the Fifth Avenue Lost children's 

Booth. Then on Saturday, 

two senior Sea Scouts 

helped Orpheus move sets for 

their up-coming production of 

"Best Little Whorehouse in 

Texas." 

The Lost Children's Booth was 

a volunteering effort of a 

number of Scouting Groups in 

the National Capital Region. 

The 26th Sea Scouts volunteered 

to man the booth on Friday 

February 17 from 5 to 9 

p.m. Invitations were made to 

the Cub Pack to join the Sea 

Scouts and two senior Cubs 

joined the Scouts on the ice. 

Steven Copland, Michael 

Hogan, Yu-Wei Koo and Jason 

Chouinard all spent time at the 

booth, though no children 

were lost on Friday night. 

(There was however, one parent 

looking for the other parent.) 

All Scouts and Cubs attending 

received a Winterlude 

ear warmer for their efforts 

and enjoyed a Beavertail at the 

end of the evening. 

The 26th Sea Scouts have 

helped Orpheus move their sets 

in to the stage twice before, 

but this set was one of the 

Our forest, our garden

lenge, the Scouts found themselves 

helping put together 

load-bearing walls for a two 

story set as well as a revolving 

set. They learned about stagecraft 

as well as building techniques. 

One Scout was surprised 

to find out that he knew 

the set designer, Glebe resident, 

Nancy Solman. She designed 

the set for the Orpheus 

production opening on March 

3 at the Adult High School. 

Michael Hogan has helped 

three times with Orpheus' 

move-in and tear-down. He 

receives the builder badge for 

his efforts. Leo Trottier was 

helping with the production's 

move-in for the first time. 

The Sea Scouts travelled to 

the Area Klondike Derby on 

Sunday February 26, in 

Luskville. This was the second 

time we've attended the 

Klondike and was the first time 

we actually had our own sled. 

On March 5, we will be at St. 

Matthew's Anglican Church 

for the Baden Powell Sunday 

Parade. We hope to see many 

Glebe residents there! 

The 26th Sea Scout Troop 

meets every Tuesday at 7:15 in 

Lower Jefferson Hall of St. 

Matthew's Anglican Church, 

Glebe and Bank Streets. Youth 

who wish to try Sea Scouting 

are invited to join the troop

Playgroup transportation is 

our theme. Friends of all ages 

enjoy describing their recent 

trip, some pretend, some actual 

holidays. Car painting, airport 

fun and fun in the water with 

boats are ju'st some of our activities 

for this theme. Friends 

in our afternoon program 

found a visit to the Fifth Avenue 

Fire Station fascinating. 

For most, it was the first opportunity 

to sit in the Hook and 

Ladder truck, and get behind 

the wheel in the Rescue Truck. 

We all watched as a firefighter 

got dressed in all his gear 

including his special mask and 

oxygen tank. Once the oxygen

our visit to Station # 10.

such a wonderful visit.

Sparks: for fun & friendship 

BY SUE JERMYN 

In September 1995, Girl 

Guides of Canada-Guides du 

Canada will begin a new Spark 

program for five- and sixyear-old 

girls and a new 

Brownie program for sevenand 

eight-year-old girls. 

Drafts of these new programs 

have already been pilot tested 

and the new program books 

will be ready for Sparks and 

Brownies for September 1995. 

The Spark program for S- 

and 6-year-old girls is fun, 

experience-based and noncompetitive. 

Meetings will be 

based on three themes: 

Sharing with Others, The 

World Around Us and Myself. 

The program's aim is to 

introduce girls to the Guiding 

community, encourage them to 

try new things and to have fun 

SPARKS IN THE GLEBE 

We would like to start two 

new Sparks groups for 

September 1995; one will use 

Fourth Avenue Baptist Church 

and another will meet elsewhere 

in the Glebe. Most 

likely one group will meet afterAcliPol 

and the other at 6 

p.m. Meetings will last for one 

hour and the girls will wear 

the popular pink t-shirt or 

sweatshirt. 

Women who would like to 

join as leaders (some have already 

volunteered) should call 

Sue Jermyn at 236-2790. 

Training is planned for this 

spring. 

Girls who are five or six 

years old (kindergarten and 

grade one) are welcome to join. 

Call Sue Jermyn to find out 

more. 

BROWNIES NOW FOR 2 YEARS 

The new Brownie program 

has been designed to incorporate 

the magic and activities of 

the old program while at the 

same time making it more 

meaningful for the girls of today 

and tomorrow. Girls of 7 

and 8 years will be offered 

progressively more challenging 

activities. Girls learn best 

by doing, by being active and 

practising the concepts of 

friendship and helping others. 

The three program areas are 

People, The Outdoors and Today 

and Tomorrow. The traditional 

Brownie challenges to lend a 

hand, explore the outdoors, 

learn basic first aid and enjoy 

music and crafts are still a big 

part of this program. 

Girls who will be seven or 

eight may join our Brownie 

Packs in September. Information 

about registration will be 

published in the Glebe Report.

EDITORIAL NOTES 

Views expressed in the Glebe Report are those of our 

contributors. 

We reserve the right to edit all submissions. 

March is in like a lion... 

Are we the lambs? 

As we put this March issue of the Glebe Report to bed, the 

cold winter wind is swirling the snow around our homes; a 

perfect accompaniment to the lion's bite of a federal 

budget that has just been delivered by Finance Minister 

Paul Martin. Add to that the unappealing fact that most of 

us have just waved good-bye to a lump sum of the green 

stuff, the first installment of our 1995 municipal tax 

payments. I'm sure we can be forgiven if we aren't so 

much thinking about whether March will be going out 

like a lamb, as feeling like lambs ourselves. 

COMMUNITY SUPPORTS 

It's a brave new world out there, and one which, if it has 

all the impact it's been promised to have, will challenge 

friends and neighbours to pull together as a variety of 

straightened circumstances confront us. 

One local response to the new reality of decreasing social 

services is the Glebe based Community Support Network. 

This outreach service initiated by Glebe St. James United 

Church, St. Matthew's Anglican Church, and Blessed 

Sacrament Roman Catholic Church seeks to offer shortterm 

(non-financial). support to individuals and families. 

If you require this service, would like more information 

about it, or would like to become a Community Support 

volunteer, call 236-1433 or write the Community Support 

Network, 650 Lyon St. S., Ottawa, K1S 3Z7. (See story p. 16) 

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH REMINDER 

On the subject of people pulling together, another 

robbery in the Glebe North Neighbourhood Watch area 

(See story on page 1 ) has emphasized the need for 

residents to faithfully keep each other informed about 

even mildly suspicious occurrences. GNNW founder, Brian 

Lynch, feels that many of the on-going break-ins could 

either be foiled or followed up on more effectively if area 

residents would realize that the Neighbourhood Watch 

program is only as strong as its weakest link. 

Residents would benefit by remembering to think and act 

like a team. After all, that's what the criminals who have 

targeted their homes are doing.

Those predatory squirrels! 

Editor Glebe Report, 

Please, add the following information 

on squirrels to supplement 

that provided in the 

Glebe Questions column of 

February 10, 1995. 

The squirrels seem to be responsible 

for the absence of 

singing birds in our backyards 

and parks, for they delight in 

pushing the eggs out of birds' 

nests, as I personally have observed 

for years in my garden 

in Sherbrooke, where I lived 

before coming here. 

In the Glebe we seem to be 

left mainly with starlings and 

sparrows, nesting under roofs 

where the squirrels cannot 

get. Sometimes a blue jay 

would turn up in my backyard 

when raspberries ripen but 

none took up residence. From 

time to time in early summer 

when I hear the piercing outcry 

of a startled bird, I wonder 

if it has just encountered a 

squirrel in its nest.... 

It is not only the eggs that 

squirrels destroy, they kill the 

young birds in the nest by 

cracking open their skulls - 

only to consume their - nutty 

tasting? - brains. It is a friend 

of mine who witnessed this for 

years while living in the 

countryside. It took her husband 

some ingenuity to devise 

an effective anti-squirrel 

guard for their birdhouses. 

Now don't say here comes 

some crazy bird-firster! I am 

an animal rights activist who 

donates regularly to all kinds 

of humane society charities 

from a minimum pension 

income. 

Lori Marcus 

Driving a lethal weapon 

Editor, Glebe Report: 

A colleague of mine was on 

the scene at about 2 p.m. 

February 14 when an accident 

occurred at Bank Street and 

Third Avenue. A parent and 

caregiver with two babies in 

carriages were crossing on the 

light when a grey Peugeot 

made the turn from Third Avenue 

into Bank Street. The 

caregiver receivea minor leg 

injuries and the baby whose 

carriage was hit, and flipped, 

seemed to have trouble staying 

awake. 

In the days following the 

accident we watched for media 

coverage, and when there svas 

none, tried to convince ourselves 

that any injuries to the 

child might have been slight. 

In the grand scheme of 

things, most of us, hearing of 

such an incident, might consider 

it relatively minor. However, 

a young child could have 

been killed, and his sitter 

might never again feel quite 

so safe crossing the street, especially 

while pushing a carriage. 

Since the accident, my wife 

and I have noticed how frequently 

drivers cut in front of 

us when we're out for a walk 

with our baby. We've had ample 

opportunity to consider 

how fragile and precious life 

can be, and how readily some 

drivers seem to forget that. 

Bystanders at the scene of 

the accident thought that sunlight 

might have caused a 

problem for the driver. The 

sun was indeed bright on the 

afternoon of February 14; but 

it doesn't take a rocket scientist 

to figure out the solution - if 

LE'TTERS 

you can't see where you're 

going, you should stop your 

vehicle, put on your sunglasses 

and proceed with care. 

Parents can and should equip 

and train our children for 

safety, but our best efforts are 

for naught if drivers are unwilling 

to take a few extra seconds, 

or watch the road more 

carefully, each and every time 

they get behind the wheel. If 

you can't take responsibility 

for your vehicle, don't drive at 

all. 

The driver of that Peugeot 

has helped me remember that 

a car can be a lethal weapon. 

A pedestrian is no match for 

several hundred kilograms of 

steel and glass. We all need to 

remember that no injury is 

minor, and that no appointment 

or destination is urgent 

enough to justify driving 

habits that put others at risk.

WINTERLUDE TRAFFIC 

I've never spent as much 

time on the canal as I did this 

year, even with condition flags 

changing as fast as a sea cadet 

practicing the alphabet. I've 

been drawn to it by the gentle 

tug of a four year old who 

loves to skate. 

Winterlude's weekend program 

has been more popular 

than ever. In evidence, the 

heavy duty traffic for the last 

three Saturdays. I've heard 

from a few residents with concerns. 

Do you have concerns 

about specific problem areas? 

BUDGET REVIEW 

Our Regional and Municipal 

councillors hosted a budget 

review February 2. City and 

Regional staff almost outnumbered 

the public. We heard 

that both levels are dedicated 

to balanced budgets and the 

concept of "pay as you go" for 

capital projects instead of 

taking on more debt. 

The proposed renovation for 

the Glebe Community Centre 

has been deferred to the 1997 

budget, as it stands the centre 

is rated "c" for maintenance 

dollars. The roof leaks and 

there are a host of other visible 

signs of deterioration such 

as the front steps on Second 

Avenue. While our community 

has taken an enormous tax hit 

thanks to M.V.A. it cannot be 

fiscally responsible to neglect 

a facility to the point where 

there is much damage. 

0% tax increases are great 

and should continue, but in 

1997 expensive patch work repairs 

on the Centre have to 

stop. Let's give this well used 

facility the attention it deserves. 

OTTAWA RESTORE 

Ottawa Restore is something I 

stumbled on recently and felt 

was worth noting. It's a blue 

box program for used building 

supplies. You can donate used 

doors, lumber, old fixtures etc. 

and they will pick them up. 

Having a typical Glebe home I 

found it's a great resource. 

Donated items are sold at budget 

prices, for example 4 panel 

doors for $15, lots of windows 

and sinks, even a claw foot tub 

for $100. It is sort of a construction 

site garage sale. The 

outlet offers the opportunity to 

donate rather than discard. If 

you would like to donate or 

want more information: call 

Ottawa Restore 825-8900. 

GREAT GLEBE GARAGE 

SALE 

Mark it on your calendar and 

start combing the basement. 

This year's sale is Saturday 

May 27th. Registration 

coupons will be in the April

more information, watch the 

Glebe Report for upcoming 

articles or call Kathryn Bradford 

238-4159. 

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE 

I would like to thank 

Stephanie Montgomery for her 

work co-ordinating the membership 

drive for the last two 

years. Our membership of 

over 2500 dues paying 

members is the backbone of 

our community association. 

The population of the Glebe is 

around 11,400. Stephanie has 

stepped down due to other 

commitments. We need some 

help filling her shoes. If you 

can be of service to your 

community and can donate 

some time to co-ordinate the 

1995 membership drive, please 

give me a call. You will get a 

great satisfaction from 

volunteering your time and it's 

also a chance to challenge 

yourself by learning some new 

skills. 

F.C.A. REGIONAL OFFICIAL 

PLAN REVIEW - WORKSHOP 

I joined John Tobin and 

Brian Jonah from the G.C.A. at 

the Federation of Community 

Association's visioning workshop 

Saturday February 4. 

Items discussed included communities, 

quality of life, transportation 

and balanced 

growth. One concern that affected 

every community was 

traffic. Speed on residential 

streets and cut through traffic 

were mentioned by people 

from all over the region as affecting 

their neighbourhoods. 

"Las Vegas, really got it right 

... visual impact." I thought I 

would never hear this from 

John Leaning. While he didn't 

agree with the motives, he 

pointed out that the gaudy 

bright lights do achieve their 

goal of creating excitement. 

Mr. Leaning's talk at the workshop 

"The Region - A Visual 

Approach" was entertaining 

and gave us a lot to think about 

during the visioning exercise...what 

is our goal? 

Chief architect for the N.C.C. 

in the late 60's and long-time 

Glebe resident, Mr. Leaning 

spoke about many subjects that 

define the region's visual impact: 

the Greenbelt, store signage 

and airports. Something 

I heard throughout the day 

was that people want communities 

with mixed uses 

where residents can walk to 

work, shopping and transit. I 

appreciate those aspects of our 

neighbourhood more than 

ever.

CAPITAL COLUMN 

Adjusting to city & federal budget cuts 

By 

Councillor 

Jim Watson 

CITY BUDGET '95 

City Council debated the 1995 

Budget on February 20-22, and 

managed to pass a budget with 

a tax decrease of 0.5%. At least 

the tax rate is going down 

instead of up. Certain projects 

have been delayed a year, in 

an effort to control our deficit. 

We are aiming to have a full 

pay-as-you-go policy in place 

by 2004. This means that if 

money is not available to do a 

certain project it doesn't get 

done. 

We project that we will be 

debt-free by 2014. It would be 

nice to speed up the process, 

but we must retire it at a 

reasonable pace. 

We restored $150,000 in 

funding to the Comprehensive 

Cycling Plan by taking the 

money from the Vehicle 

Replacement Pool and the 

Parking Reserve Fund. It also 

looks like we'll have the 

Curlodrome at Lansdowne Park 

for our skateboarders again 

this year. More news on this 

later. 

WHITTON AWARDS 

The third annual Whitton 

Awards will be held March 27, 

at 7:00 pm in Assembly Hall (at 

the back of the Civic Centre at 

Lansdowne Park). This ceremony 

is held to honour our 

community volunteers 

for their commitment and 

dedication to our community. 

The evening will also feature 

musical entertainment. Refreshments 

donated by local 

businesses will be served. 

I hope you can attend! 

THE COLISEUM 

Congratulations to Fred Juett 

and Chris Roth, the President 

and Vice-President of the Coliseum 

- Sports and Recreation 

Centre, for a very successful 

first year. The Coliseum will 

close for the season on 

March 16. 

WINTERLUDE 1995 

With last minute 

programming changes due to 

the weather, Winterlude was a 

success. The decision to move 

the snow sculptures from 

Dow's Lake to Major's Hill Park 

resulted in fewer traffic 

problems in the Dow's Lake 

area. If you have any 

comments on the effectiveness 

of the barricades program, 

please contact my office. 

STREET LIGHTING 

Last fall the City approved a 

metal halide pilot project in 

March 3, 1995 - Glebe Report -8 

order to look at more energyefficient 

street lighting methods. 

The metal halide bulbs 

were installed in November. 

The survey and public input 

phase of the project has 

begun, and continues until 

May. Results are expected by 

summer 1995. Streets in the 

Glebe and Ottawa South 

(Pretoria, Patterson, Third, 

Brighton, Fentiman, Leonard, 

and Aylmer ) have been included 

in the project. 

Residents on these and nearby 

streets have been asked to fill 

out a survey. Take time to do so 

and let the City know your 

opinion on different kinds of 

street lighting. 

GCTC/FRANCOPHONE 

THEATRE 

Many people contacted me 

regarding relocation of the 

Great Canadian Theatre 

Company from Gladstone 

Avenue to the Elgin Street 

Theatre. Although a number 

asked me to support the GCTC, 

even more expressed 

opposition to the City giving 

any more money to the GCTC. 

I did not support the deal at 

Committee or Council for several 

reasons. The GCTC sought 

nearly $500,000 in capital 

funds and tax exemption for 

the site ($45,000-$60,000). 

They also requested funds from 

regional government and the 

province. If the deal had 

passed, $1.7 million (from four 

levels of government) would 

have been poured into a private 

developer's building, in 

addition to the $200,000 a year 

in rent the GCTC was being 

asked to pay. After 20 years, 

close to $6 million would have 

been invested into a building 

neither the City nor the GCTC 

would own or have any equity 

in. In addition, the GCTC 

wanted $55,000 in operating 

funds on top of the $90,000 

they already receive from the 

City. Increasing GCTC's 

operating grant would mean 

that other arts groups would 

receive less money which is 

not fair. 

The City is in a difficult 

financial situation. Council 

approved an aggressive

strategy to tackle our everincreasing 

debt (now over 

$200 million), and many 

capital projects were deferred 

in the 1995 budget for lack of 

money. The Multicultural 

Centre, Arts Court, Routhier 

School in Lowertown, the 

Glebe Community Centre, and 

parks across the city, need 

retrofits or renovations for 

health and safety reasons. It's 

not fair that the GCTC jumps 

the queue while others wait 

their turn. 

In an ideal world, I would 

love to see the GCTC on Elgin 

Street. I have supported 

(financial and otherwise) GCTC 

for many years, but can not 

disregard the majority of my 

constituents and support 

adding another building to our 

inventory when we can't 

properly maintain existing 

stock. These reasons also led 

me to oppose the proposal for a 

Francophone theatre on the 

old police station site (60 

Waller Street). The three 

groups involved asked Council 

to give them the land (valued 

at $3.3 million) so that they 

could build a theatre. Many on 

Council argued that this deal, 

unlike the GCTC proposal, 

would not cost taxpayers 

anything, I disagree. If we 

give the groups the land 

(which they would lease from 

the City for $1 a year), we can't 

sell it. This would cost 

taxpayers the money the City 

could have received for the 

land, as well as any tax 

revenues. Also, if the theatre 

fails, the City will be stuck 

with another building it can't 

afford to maintain. 

The Francophone theatre 

proposal was approved by City 

Council. I voted against it. The 

groups must now approach the 

federal and provincial 

governments for funding, 

then come back to City Council 

for final approval. 

GLEBE/BANK STREET 

PARKING STUDY 

Thanks to John Kane,Glebe 

residents and the Glebe/Bank 

Street Parking Study Steering 

Committee. The study, looking 

at ways to improve the parking 

situation in the Glebe, is near 

completion. We expect the 

final report and 

recommendations shortly. 

QUESTIONNAIRE 

I'm planning my annual 

Glebe questionnaire which, 

when published in the Glebe 

Report will give you the 

opportunity to tell me your 

thoughts on local and municipal 

issues. If you have a 

question you would like 

included, I will try to use it. 

Please send it to my office or 

drop it at 14 Pansy Ave.by 

March 31. 

FEDERAL BUDGET 

The federal government's 

budget has impacted our city 

more than any other 

community. The loss of 10- 

20,000 jobs will have a 

tremendous personal effect on 

those families it touches and 

will hurt our local economy 

and tax base. I have met with 

cabinet ministers Art Eggleton 

and David Dingwall to express 

my concern and Council's 

position on responsible 

downsizing. 

I am concerned about the 

federal government's decision 

to continue to freeze their 

grants-in-lieu of taxes (the 

federal government's version 

of property taxes) and to 

arbitrarily re-assess several 

properties downward. 

(Wouldn't it be nice if we could 

re-assess our own properties 

after MVA?) If the feds download 

to municipalities through 

re-assessment, the City will be 

short about $10 million that 

will have to either be cut or 

taxes raised. 

I urge you to write federal 

M.P. Mac Harb expressing your 

concern about this. I would be 

pleased to provide you with an 

information package on this 

issue.

Giebe Questions 

Who's for Romeo Avenue? 

By 

Clyde 

Sanger 

Pm going back to the question 

asked by Patrick Walchuk 

who, in his real estate business 

has come across a lot of name 

changes in the Glebe from the 

old surveys he has to consult. 

His full (double-barrelled) 

question was: "Why has the 

Glebe gone through so many 

street name changes? And 

why were these new names 

selected?" Last time I gave an 

answer (the South African 

war) for why Jane became 

Pretoria and Hickey became 

Strathcona. Let me now tackle 

some of the others. 

Mutchmor to Fifth Avenue. 

The first four avenues were 

laid out in 1890, while Mutchmor 

- Alexander Mutchmor 

owned the farm there - was the 

last to be numbered, in 1909. 

Newton was a Mutchmor sonin-law 

- Newton J. Ker - and he 

designed the Bank Street 

bridge. I don't think even he 

thought about a proper cycle 

lane. 

Esther to Bank is the 

interesting one, historically. 

Esther March was Colonel John 

By's second wife. They were 

married in 1818 when she was 

probably not yet 21 (her husband 

was 38) and she was soon 

thrown into living in a stone 

house on Nepean Point, while 

Colonel By was busy excavating 

the Rideau Canal. One of 

the few vignettes about Esther 

was penned by Frances Ramsay 

Simpson, wife of the Governor 

of the Hudson's Bay 

Company, who turned up at 

breakfast time one May 

morning in 1830 after a 16- 

mile paddle. Esther put everything 

on the table and was described 

as "a very agreeable 

and accomplished young 

woman." Her husband clearly 

intended to settle in his Bytown, 

and bought 600 acres 

from the Rideau river across to 

Bronson (then called Concession) 

and south to Gladstone, 

naming a main street after his 

admirable wife. Then, of 

course, he was recalled to face 

a parliamentary committee in 

England and they never came 

back. One of her daughters 

and a granddaughter were also 

called Esther, but the latter 

died in infancy. Anyway, the 

name was changed to Bank 

Street, not because of the presence 

of money-changers but 

because the street begins at a 

point where you can descend 

the bank to the Ottawa River. 

The naming of Glebe Avenue 

is recent history. City planners 

in the 1970's had the idea 

of making Carling Avenue into 

a west-east arterial road with 

another bridge over the canal. 

To fight this threat to the Glebe 

community, a group of householders 

led by the late Bernice 

Hamer gathered a petition 

(backed by the GCA) to change 

the street's name for the part 

going through the Glebe. This 

move, together with other bits 

of splendid resistance, 

scotched the dreadful plan. 

It's not so easy to change 

street names today, I learn 

from Don Brousseau who is the 

Signs Administrator in the 

Community Development 

Branch at City Hall and who 

lives on Third Avenue. You 

can probably get a suggested 

name onto the "reserve list" he 

keeps for consideration any 

time an application comes up. 

All you have to do is submit a 

persuasive argument for that 

particular person. On his reserve 

list he has about 25 

names: among them are 

Jeanne Sauvé, Marion Dewar, 

Glenn Gould, Raoul Wallenberg 

- and Nelson Mandela (which 

some of us suggested to 

supplant Pretoria). He checks 

them with the region to see 

they aren't duplicates ("The 

region keeps the bible of all 

names," he says) and are 

simple enough not to confuse 

emergency service in a hurry, 

like the fire brigade or 

ambulance: double-barrelled 

names like Marie-Claire would 

be struck down. 

The trick comes in the next 

stage. It now costs $2,100 to put 

in an application (and that 

probably won't cover all the 

technical changes needed). 

More than that, your petition 

has to include "absolutely everybody 

affected" by the

Pretoria would have to say 

they wanted Mandela - and 

even then they might be told 

the committee had decided to 

rename it Jeanne Sauvé!

How busy is the committee? 

Not very. They deal with about 

five "dedications" of new 

streets or lanes a year and 

maybe one street change.

community give this 

committee some work. How 

about renaming one of our 

streets (in fact, the one on 

which he lived) Romeo 

LeBlanc Avenue? He is, after 

all, the first Governor-General 

who has lived in the Glebe.

Regional Councillor's report 

By 

Reg ion al 

Councillor 

Brian McGarry 

POLICE SERVICES BUDGET 

The Ottawa-Carleton Police 

Services Budget totaling 98.3 

million dollars has now been 

tabled. The Budget provides 

funding for some new initiatives 

including: new community 

police centres; a commercial 

crime unit; volunteer 

selection and training; formation 

of a race relations unit; 

an auxiliary police program; 

expansion of the Reduce 

Impaired Driving Everywhere 

Program (R.I.D.E.). Public delegations 

have an opportunity 

to comment on the Budget. In 

summary, expenditures are 

divided accordingly: 75% 

salaries, wages and benefits; 

14% operating; 6% O.P.P. 

Policing; 5% retirees. For 

further information you are, 

of course, welcome to call our 

office at 560-1224. 

Unfortunately, some media 

reported per household costs 

for police services in the City 

of Ottawa would be $387.00. 

This is incorrect; Regional Police 

costs do not fall solely on 

the residential taxpayer. The 

true apportionment will be 

lower when the non-residential 

sector is considered. We 

expect urban costs will actually 

decrease slightly while 

residents in rural areas will 

pay more than they are accustomed 

to because of receiving 

O.P.P. services formerly on a 

"no-charge basis." 

FUNDING THEATRE GROUPS 

The funding of theatre 

groups has been a difficult 

subject for Regional and City 

governments. The Great 

Canadian Theatre Company and 

a proposed Francophone live 

theatre location are both 

worthy of consideration. 

Nonetheless, I cannot support 

their applications for public 

purse assistance without at 

least some substantial support 

from the private sector and/or 

corporate donations. Apart 

from contributions from various 

levels of government, 

there appears to be little support 

during the present difficult 

economic conditions many 

of us are experiencing. 

SOCIAL ASSISTANCE 

Fifteen percent of residents 

in the Ottawa-Carleton Region 

are receiving some form of 

social assistance (excluding 

unemployment insurance 

benefits). This represents in 


excess of 100,000 people, a city 

in itself. Therefore all of us 

can appreciate the stresses 

that are being placed on our 

community and its resources. 

How many more individuals 

will there be seeking welfare 

as our federal government 

downsizes? How many more 

can Ottawa-Carleton support? 

How can we re-train people, 

perhaps during the period 

they are receiving social assistance? 

I presented a motion to Regional 

Council (Feb 8/95) suggesting 

"Mandatory training 

and community work may be 

employed providing the employment 

service initiatives 

are supportive and meet the 

needs of unemployed people 

for meaningful skill development." 

The motion was narrowly 

defeated by a 10 -9 margin. 

What is your opinion? 

The intent wasn't to send 

"children to the salt mines" as 

commented by one colleague 

on Council, but rather to help 

at least some individuals find 

new careers and maintain 

one's sense of self worth between 

employment opportunities. 

SOCIAL SECURITY 

A second motion which 

passed easily stated Regional 

Council would not support any 

direction in social security 

review which includes the 

taxing of pensions, RRSP's or 

health care benefits. The reason 

I presented this motion is, 

in my opinion, middle class 

Canadians (public servants, 

private industry employees, 

small business people, etc.) are 

already at or beyond their 

limit of taxation. Many Canadians 

are now taxed at or above 

50% of income while it is not 

uncommon for small business 

to pay out approximately 70% 

of its income through direct 

and indirect taxes. Therefore 

the RMOC should sympathize 

with those who are presently 

carrying the largest tax burden, 

that is the middle class 

($30,000 to $80,000 income 

range) who by and large are 

those benefiting from the retirement 

savings system. Governments 

should not penalize 

those who have the foresight 

to fund their own retirement 

and health care to the ultimate 

benefit of all by keeping 

themselves off the welfare 

rolls. 

In any event, the Honorable 

Lloyd Axworthy's review of the 

social security system is on 

hold for the present. In the 

meantime, I would be interested 

in your views.

Skate's Beat 

Trade you Bobby Orr for Constable Skate! 

By Sr.Cst. Gary Schuiteboer 

"I'll trade you a Jean Béliveau 

for a Bobby Orr!" When I was a 

young lad I loved to collect 

sports trading cards. The 

sports cards of my era always 

came with that memorable 

bonus, a really awful piece of 

gum, but the real focus of the 

investment was to own a piece 

of your own particular sports 

hero. My favourite sports personalities 

would be proudly 

"taped" onto my bedroom wall. 

If I had known that the value 

of some of these cards would 

eventually sky rocket, I'm sure 

I would never have sacrificed 

the condition of their valued 

surfaces to create the distinctive 

sound of a bicycle wheel 

spoke slapping the ,b.kk of a 

particular player. The price of 

a "mint" condition, rookie 

Bobby Orr, trading card has 

been quoted at well over $1,000 

but when I was a 12-year-old 

boy, my last concern was that 

future investment. It was 

more a matter of conditional 

hero worship. 

I played three seasons of 

high-school football. I was in 

reality only an average player 

but I had dreams of someday 

putting on the black, red, and 

white jersey of the Ottawa 

Rough Riders football club. 

The defensive unit of this team 

during the early '70s vas 

known by its nick name 

"Capital Punishment." These 

athletes were my personal all 

time top sports heroes and role 

models. The guys on that fearsome 

front four included the 

strongest man in the C.F.L., 

Tom Laputka, who played beside 

Rudy Sims at the tackle 

positions with Wayne Smith 

and Charlie Brandon on the 

ends. There was the great 

middle-linebacker, Jerry 

"Soupy" Campbell, who took 

time to visit my high-school to 

give a football clinic. I remember 

the big man could run 

faster sideways on the highschool 

football field while he 

was in his street shoes than we 

could run straight ahead in 

our cleats. I was in awe. To 

play professional football was 

my childhood dream. But alas, 

there is always the proverbial 

reality check. My years of 

high-school football indicated 

to me that my personal talents 


would be better suited in other 

areas and, as I have often made 

clear, I am very happy with 

my chosen life as a police officer. 

However during the summer 

of 1994, I was approached by 

Cst. Tom Mosco to participate in 

a project he had initiated. Its 

intent was to promote positive 

role models and to create a liaison 

between the Police Service 

and the youth of our society. 

The project involved the creation 

of trading cards illustrating 

the different roles and 

functions of police personnel. 

I was asked to enter the time 

machine to transport myself 

back to the era of the 1890's. 

My particular trading card has 

me standing in front of an 

entrance to the old County Jail 

on Nicholas Street. I am 

dressed in the Ottawa Police 

uniform of that time period, an 

old "Bobby" style uniform. 

With me is the large black antique 

police bicycle that I have 

reconditioned. The entire set 

is made up of twenty different 

cards illustrating various shots 

of police-related services. 

Spine c'ards include a 

Motorcycle Officer, the Marine 

Patrol, the Canine Unit, and 

even a police Cyborg robot. 

The set is even more of a collectors' 

item because each card 

has the Ottawa Police crest on 

it. We now have a Regional 

Police Service and Cst. Mosco 

wanted his set of cards to be a 

commemorative tribute to the 

131 year history of the Ottawa 

Police (1863-1994). On February 

2 a press conference was 

held at the Corel Building to 

announce that the Ottawa Police 

trading cards would be 

available at the various Community 

Based Police Centres. 

The cards are free to those who 

want them and were produced 

at no cost to the taxpayer 

thanks to the generous support 

and resources and talents of 

the Corel Corporation and Tri- 

Co Printing. There will be 

50,000 20-card sets made available 

to eager collectors. I hope 

that I will have access to at 

least enough of these sets to 

keep up with the demand when 

the kids of the street get wind 

of this new and limited 

promotion. 

Yeah, I'd love to walk by a 

school yard one day and overhear 

a couple of eight year old 

kids making the ultimate 

trading card deal. Something 

like, "O.K., I'll trade you a Constable 

Dominic D'Arcy for that 

really neat Constable Gary 

Schuiteboer." Yeah, who needs 

that old rookie Bobby Orr!

OBE trustees discuss budget 

By 

OBE 

Trustee 

Lynn 

Graham 

THE 1995 BUDGET 

The OBE Administration has 

now presented to Trustees a 

preliminary 1995 budget for 

our consideration. It is a balanced 

budget of $278.9 million 

with no mill rate increase. It 

represents a $5.2 million increase 

over the 1994 budget, 

but is being called a "status 

quo" budget as all existing 

programs and services are 

carried over from 1994. In 

addition, extra resources are 

built in to fund major capital 

and computer items. Our ability 

to maintain the status quo, as 

well as to augment funding in 

the two areas mentioned, has 

been made possible due to a 

surplus in the 1994 budget of 

$11.8 million (je. total revenue 

exceeded the budget by 

approximately $3.9 million and 

expenditures were $7.9 million 

less than budget). 

Some people might say that 

this is a "good news" budget 

but I have reservations and 

will raise my concerns as our 

deliberations begin. If we as 

Trustees simply approve the 

status quo, we are taking the 

path of least resistance without 

considering the impact of our 

decisions on future budgets. 

Here are some of the factors 

that must be taken into account: 

1. While some of the 1994 

surplus will go towards capital 

expenses and computer connectivity, 

a substantial portion 

will be used for ongoing operating 

costs; thus, we are 

generating a level of spending 

that will only be maintained 

through significant tax increases 

in future years. 

The long-term capital 

forecasts for major upgrading 

to OBE facilities show that $3.5 

million will be needed in 1995, 

$16.6 million in 1996 and $15.4 

million in 1997. Hopewell is the 

school at the top of the upgrading 

priority list and the need, 

as with many other sites, is indeed 

urgent. Should we be 

looking at establishing a reserve 

in our 1995 budget in order 

to fund these capital costs 

in future years? 

Consideration should be 

given to the fact that the 

provincial pooling of commercial/industrial 

assessment 

is on the horizon as is the per 

pupil funding of education 

.across Ontario. The OBE could 

March 3, 1995 t- Glebe Report 12 

be hard hit by either of these 

developments. 

4. While the recommendations 

of the Royal Commission 

on Learning are not expected 

to affect the 1995 budget, there 

could be significant implications 

for 1996 and beyond (eg. 

school for three year olds). 

In addition to the factors I 

have noted above, there are 

other reasons for taking a 

close look at the 1995 budget. 

Poverty continues to grow and 

in the OBE we are serving a 

more needy population. Safety 

nets for children with difficulties 

are disappearing. The 

sad reality is that the system 

can no longer meet the requirements 

of all of its students. 

Given the financial 

pressures we are under and 

the fact that these will increase 

rather than diminish, 

we must evaluate our programmes 

and services in light 

of a clear set of educational 

objectives and priorities, and 

thereby ensure that essential 

needs are met. 

In Board discussions, I will 

explore alternative options to 

the status quo. The deadline for 

completion of the budget is 

March 31, 1995. By that date, 

Trustees must have made final 

decisions. In order to receive a 

copy of the preliminary budget 

(Report No. 95-34 entitled 

1995 Budget Update), call Board 

Services at 239-2490. For information 

on OBE meetings regarding 

the budget, call the 

OBE Communications Office 

(239-2312) or myself (730- 

3366). I would appreciate 

hearing your views. 

SECONDARY 

REORGANIZATION 

In order to address the overcrowding 

situation at Lisgar 

and the fact that Glebe has 

been operating well below 

maximum capacity, the Board 

has recently taken the following 

decisions: 

Lisgar Collegiate will operate 

a 10 period timetable in order 

to increase school capacity 

for September, 1995 

-Glebe Collegiate will offer a 

Grade 9 and 10 Extended 

French program in September, 

1995 

Glebe Collegiate will offer 

German and Greek at the grade 

10 level in September, 1995 

A study process to address 

long-term secondary school 

planning needs will begin 

later this spring. 

ALTERNATE DAY/FULL DAY 

KINDERGARTEN 

This subject was also recently 

discussed by Board in light of 

Report No. 95-14 from the Administration 

(phone Board 

Services at 239-2490 for a 

copy). There is a great deal of 

community interest in this 

proposal and the consultation 

period has been extended to 

April 1. In my opinion, any 

implementation will now have 

to wait until September, 1996. 

Feedback on this report is essential, 

so that its contents can 

be fully debated and decisions 

can be made. I will carefully 

consider not only the financial 

but also the pedagogical implications 

of such a program 

change. I welcome your comments. 

THANKS 

I appreciate the Glebe Report 

giving me monthly column

Answers to quiz on next page.

Answer to nutrition quiz 

True. Taste is still the primary 

determinant of our food 

choices but 87% of Canadians 

consider nutrition important 

in choosing the food they eat. 

False. Orange juice does lose 

some vitamin C over time but if 

refrigerated in a tightly closed 

container the juice will still be 

a good source of vitamin C for 

up to 2 weeks. 

False. Spinach contains 

iron but it is bound with oxalic 

acid, making it largely unavailable. 

Broccoli, kale, and 

bok choy do provide abundant 

av.ailable iron. 

False. These are light calorie 

food choices within any cuisine. 

Choose dishes that are 

seasoned with herbs and spices 

rather than rich creamy 

sauces or fried dishes. 

False. Vegetarian diet can be 

a very healthy way to eat. 

However, many new 

vegetarian teens just eat the 

non-meat portion of the family 

meal and regularly snack on 

fries, granola bars, or high fat 

cheeses which will not replace 

the missing protein required.. 

Actually the reverse is true. 

Breakfast skippers in general 

are more likely to have a 

weight problem than those 

who eat breakfast regularly. 

7 Trq Pi4V.,and white . 

grapefitiffliax;e the same 

number of calories and 

vitamin C but the pink variety 

has more Beta Carotene. 

False. The nutritional content 

of frozen vegetables 

(which are processed quickly 

after picking) is likely to be as 

high or higher than fresh 

vegetables (which have sat in 

transport, on the shelf, or in 

the refrigerator for many 

days). 

False. The word 'lite' or 

'light' may mean that the 

product is lower in fat than its 

counterparts, but it may also 

refer only to colour, taste, 

texture, or sugar content. 

False. Chocolate milk is an 

excellent source of calcium, 

riboflavin, and vitamin D, like 

plain milk.

PROFILE 

Remembering Al 

BY ALLISON DINGLE 

A short notice in February's 

Glebe Report recorded the recent 

death of Glebe-resident Al 

Noble and acknowledged the 

outstanding contribution Al 

made to the Glebe Neighbourhood 

Activities Group (GNAG) 

as its Chair from 1983 to 1985. 

Behind this modest notice lies a 

larger story of an extraordinary 

member of our community. 

When Al retired from the 

Bank of Canada in 1978, he 

immediately got busy helping 

out at GNAG. My first contact 

with him was when I called the 

same year for information 

about the Craft Sale. His first 

remark to me was: "Call me Al," 

setting a warm and congenial 

tone which characterized all of 

Al's relationships in the Glebe. 

None of us who served on 

GNAG while he was Chair will 

forget the fun of those long, 

rambling meetings dealing 

with a vide variety of programmes 

and issues, from 

summer camps to the Snow 

Flake Special which started 

under his leadership. Al's 

enthusiasm and sense of 

fairness were strong incentive 

to us to keep our GNAG 

commitments. 

Al's interest in the community 

went well beyond GNAG. 

He helped many organizations, 

such as the Canadian Cancer 

Society, for which he canvassed 

for many years. He 

helped many individuals, too. 

For example, he championed 

the cause of his friend, Dominique, 

who was caught for 

several years in a dispute with 

the Workman's Compensation 

Board. Al persisted until Dominique 

got a just settlement, 

and helped Dominique get odd 

jobs in the area. He continued 

to help others in similar situations, 

right up until the time of 

his death. 

Al kept physically active all 

his life. Youthful and robust, 

he was a familiar and wellloved 

figure at Carleton University's 

Athletic Department, 

where he swam several times a 

week. Even into his 70s, Al 

kept jogging, and I'd often spot 

him out for a run along Prince 

of Wales Drive in the Experimental 

Farm. 

When Al resigned from 

GNAG, he volunteered as a 

fund-raising administrator for 

the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. 

Al thought nothing of 

walking from the Glebe to the 

OSO office at Prince of Wales 

and Meadowlands. For over 

five years, he kept all the 

records, did bank deposits and 

monthly reports on the Orchestra's 

corporate and individual 

donations. When he was 

ready to bovv out, he recruited 

a neighbour, John Taylor, to 

take his place. 

He maintained a steady, positive 

attitude to life, and was always 

sensitive to the joys and 

sorrows of others. He had a 

special way with words, and 

loved to write amusing poems 

to celebrate events like birthdays 

and retirements. "Doggerel," 

he called them jokingly' 

and with typical modesty. 

They were always witty and 

fun. 

Al took a serious attitude to 

F.nglish, and pursued part-time 

studies over the course of 

many years of study at Carleton 

University. Charles 

Haines was one of his favourite 

professors. Al explored the 

classics and other subjects 

with great enthusiasm, and 

only stopped this past fall 

when he felt he couldn't find 

time to write the required papers. 

Al certainly kept busy, and 

not always on foot. He loved 

fine cars and for years drove a 

Mercedez-Benz. He'd purchase 

them second-hand and nurse 

them along, usually putting 

the car away in the winter. He 

often lamented the difficulty 

of getting parts for older models. 

Although his last car was a 

used BMW, whenever I see an 

old silver Mercedes in the 

Glebe, I see Al in the corner of 

my eye. Al loved the idea of 

far-away places. He was particularly 

fascinated by the 

Marquesas Islands, the final 

resting place of Robert Louis 

Stevenson, finding them the 

perfect blend of the exotic and 

the inaccessible. One of his 

sons, Ross, was posted in 

Africa, and later, in Jamaica. 

He was very enthusiastic about 

these postings, and gave a lot 

of thought to visiting Ross and 

his family in Africa. He was 

pleased when Ross returned to 

Ottawa, and spent a great deal 

of time these past years with 

his three grandsons who were 

a great joy to him. 

Al forged wonderful friendships 

with many people in the 

community He was close to 

many of his neighbours and 

loved to introduce people to 

others he thought they'd enjoy 

knowing. It was Al's way to focus 

attention on others, while 

remaining essentially a private 

individual. He was someone 

full of integrity, modesty, 

warmth and compassion. Here 

in the Glebe we are blessed 

with many special people who 

contribute generously to the 

community. Al was in league 

with the best of them. He was 

truly noble. Let's keep remembering 

Al.

Interest groupa success story 

The Friday morning interest group at the R.A. Centre has grown 

in popularity and now routinely draws a large audience. 

The 1994 fall program, fourth session, featured nine prominent 

speakers from Ottawa and elsewhere. Mac Harb, Ottawa M.P., led 

off with his experiences as a new Canadian. Dr. John Patrick of 

Carleton University spoke about "Medicine and Health." This was 

followed by a panel discussion on "Racism." On the lighter side, 

Duncan Lusick spoke on ,"Laughter for Health." John Kim Bell, 

the well known music conductor, thrilled and inspired the audience 

with his talk on "The Path to Success." Then Dr. Brian Little, 

Professor of Psychology, stole the show with his presentation on 

"Motivation." Dr. Conrad, Ophthalmologist, talking about "The Eye 

and Aging" set a record during question period by virtue of the 

number of questions from the audience. An excellent presentation 

on "Acadian History" by Professor Naomi Griffiths brought 

out information hitherto not presented in a public forum. The 

fall session ended with watching and hearing recordings of 

"Canadian Birds" as presented by Monty Brigham. 

The 1995 program, re-named the Life Long Interest Group, begins 

April 7th. The following schedule of topics promises to be 

exciting and diverse. See you there.

Capital gains election 

BY TED LUPINSKI, M.B.A., C.A. 

The 1994 taxation year has 

resulted in a major change to 

an individual's personal tax 

situation. The past year has 

marked the termination of the 

$100,000 capital gains exemption. 

However, individuals 

may still be able to take advantage 

of unrealized capital gains 

accrued to February 22, 1994 

by filing an election (T664) 

with their 1994 Tl personal income 

tax returns. 

Common examples of capital 

properties qualifying for the 

election are as follows: 

cottages, rental properties 

and land purchased prior to 

March 1992 

units of a mutual fund 

your home that you purchased 

before March 1992 if all 

or part of it was used in a business 

or rental operation at 

some time, or if it was not your 

principal residence for all the 

years that you owned it. 

An individual can file an 

election for all or some of their 

capital properties. By filing 

the election the taxpayer is 

deemed to have disposed of the 

property on February 22, 1994 

at its fair market value. The 

filing due date is April 30, 1995. 

It is important to remember 

that a taxpayer who files his 

return electronically (EFILE) 

still has to submit a paper copy 

of the election form to Revenue 

Canada. A late election 

will be accepted by revenue 

Canada up to two years after its 

filing date provided the individual 

pays the late filing 

penalty when the election is 

filed. The penalty is one-third 

of 1% of the elected taxable 

capital gain multiplied by the 

number of months that the 

election is late. 

There is a potential downside 

to individuals filing the capitals 

gains election. It normally 

would not increase their taxable 

income, but it will increase 

their net income. This 

may result in reduced benefits 

and credits which are based on 

net income, for example: 

the Child Tax Benefit 

the goods and services tax 

credit 

the Guaranteed Income 

Supplement 

some non-refundable tax 

credits such as the age amount, 

the spousal amount, and medical 

expenses. 

It should be noted that for an 

individual who has a balance 

in his Cumulative Net Investment 

Loss account, (CNIL), the 

amount he can claim as a capital 

gains deduction may not 

offset the whole elected taxable 

capital gain. This would increase 

his taxable income and 

may increase the amount of tax 

he has to pay for the year. 

Finally, it should be noted 

that the filing of the election 

is strictly optional. The taxpayer 

should determine his income 

tax liability under both 

scenarios and choose the option 

that is most beneficial to 

him.

Studio Solo - new art gallery in the Glebe 

Studio Solo, established by 

Ottawa-based artist/writer Erin 

Manning, was created as a 

venue for emerging artists. 

The Studio's vision is to create 

a space for artistic and creative 

pèople engaged in the 

arts, both visual and performance. 

In March, Studio Solo 

celebrates its six-month anniversary. 

Over this time-period, 

the studio has featured 

the art of three Ottawa artists: 

Brin Manning, Martin Conroy 

and Joanne ApSimon. 

This month, Studio Solo offers 

something different. The show 

-- "Constructions" (by 

Erin Manning) -- is a mixture 

of sculpture and acrylic/mixed 

media on canvas. Within the 

framework of these constructions, 

the studio will present a 

play on the 24-26th of March. 

The play, entitled "19 Voices,"

Street at First Avenue. Admission, 

available at the door or in 

advance by telephone, is $20 

(Members, seniors and students

David Russell was born in 

Glasgow, Scotland in 1953 and 

spent his early childhood on 

the Spanish island of Menorca. 

At London's Royal Academy of

BY MEREDITH OLSON 

Glebe artist, Pat Durr is excited 

about one of her latest 

ventures. It's a five-day intensive 

drawing and painting 

workshop she will conduct

teacher Ken Finch. 

The setting promises to be 

idyllic -- Finch's home and 

studio near Metcalfe, Ontario, 

with delicious lunches provided 

on site! 

The course will be limited to 

10 students. The small number 

of participants will ensure 

there will be meaningful 

creative exchanges with each 

other and the course leaders. 

The course outline promises 

research and exploration of P.S.

through continuous evaluation 

and discussion as well as

Durr states that the final 

course content and directions 

will be partly determined by

both Durr and Finch will 

give all participants needed direction 

and inspiration!

with the many voices that 

emerge as an individual is 

faced with the experiences 

that form her subjectivity.

the fragmentation that 

often occurs in the journeys of 

the Self. "19 Voices" will be

Group Yohaku will be holding 

a painting and oriental 

calligraphy exhibit at A Source 

of Art Gallery, 99 Fifth Avenue 

Court, Ottawa, March 7 to 

March 18, 1995. 

Group Yohaku is a Canadian 

Sumi-é artist group, formed in 

1977 by art teacher Tomoko 

Kodama. Kodama has been 

teaching oriental brush 

painting and calligraphy in 

Ottawa for 25 years. 

Approximately 50 works will 

be on exhibit. They will include 

black and white/ 

monochromatic paintings, 

oriental calligraphy, and 

watercolour on rice paper. 

Twenty-five members of Group 

World Inter-Action Mondiale 

(WIAM), an Ottawa-based 

global education resource 

centre, is presenting the 6th 

Annual One World International 

Film Festival on March 

31, April 1 and 2. 

Taking place at the National 

Archives of Canada, 395 

Wellington Street, this year's 

festival presents three days of 

compelling films and videos 

produced by national and international 

filmmakers dealing 

with a variety of fascinating 

issues. 

This alternative film festival 

explores development, human 

rights and environmental issues 

and features the work of 

African, Asian, Latin American, 

and other filmmakers 

from Canada and around the 

world. Films, videos and panel 

discussions will be presented at 

the National Archives of 

Canada auditorium from March 

31 to April 2. 

This year's festival opens 

with a reception at the National 

Archives of Canada 

lobby at 5:30 p.m. Admission to 

the opening reception is free 

and open to the public. 

The festival kicks off at 7:00 

p.m. with two challenging 

films examining women and 

cultural traditions in Nigeria, 

Burkino Faso, Senegal and 

Gambia: Mondays Girls, directed 

by Ngozi Onwurah, investigates 

the ritual of Iria, a 

ceremony which recognizes a 

woman's suitability for marriage 

and bearing children. 

Warrior Marks, directed by 

Pratibha Parmar, (Sari Red, 

1988; Khush, 1991) is based on 

the book by Pulitzer Prize 

winner Alice Walker 

(Possessing the Secret of Joy) 

about female genital mutilation 

in Africa. 

The second screening on Friday, 

March 31 at 9:30 p.m. presents 

two engaging films examining 

women and empowerment 

through adversity in 

Yohaku will be participating 

in the exhibit. They have from 

2 to 20 years of study with Kodama 

at the Ottawa School of 

Art. The public can meet the 

artists Saturday, March 11 

from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

The group gets its name from 

the concept behind the paintings. 

"Yo" means "excess 

space" and "haku" means 

"white" in Japanese. "Sumi-é" 

means "black ink brush" 

painting (an oriental 

calligraphy technique). This 

balance between white space 

and black ink brush painting 

(oriental calligraphy) creates 

deceptively simple works of 

art.

Turning 16: Episode 1 

(directed by Robbie Hart and 

Luc Côté) shares the views and 

opinions of 16-yr-olds from 

around the world, including 

the impact of satellite television, 

while And The Dish 

Ran Away With The Spoon 

(directed by Christopher Laird 

and Tony Hall) examines how 

satellite television is eroding 

traditional regional culture 

and language in St. Lucia. A 

panel discussion following 

these films will explore the 

theme: Cultural Imperialism 

and the Impact of Satellite 

Television? 

The first evening screening 

on Saturday, April 1 (starting 

at 7:00 p.m.) is the featurelength 

French-language film, 

Neak Sre (Rice People) d 

rected by Rithy Panh. In a 

remote village, Poeuw lives 

with his wife Om and their 

seven daughters. A seemingly-slight 

accident occurs - 

Poeuw steps on a thorn and his 

foot becomes infected - and the 

cycle of life is transformed 

into a cycle of tragedy. 

Though the images are never 

flashy, they give a clear, often 

beautiful insight into the relationship 

of man to the land.

SCHOOL NEWS 

February 'blahs' banished at First Avenue School 

BY ADRIANA KIEVIT, 

VICE-PRINCIPAL 

February has been an extremely 

busy month. It helps 

to overcome those "blahs" that 

come around at this time of 

year. At the beginning of the 

month the "Theatre des lutins" 

put on a performance of 

"Heidi." As usual, the play was 

excellently performed; the 

decor and the costumes were 

magnificent. The students 

thoroughly enjoyed the presentation, 

and the actors stayed 

to answer their questions after 

the play was finished. 

On February 8, the Parent 

Advisory organized a skating 

party for the students. Our 

proximity to the canal is a 

privilege of which staff, students 

and the parents take advantage 

in the winter. In spite 

of the cold weather that day, 

many students brought parents 

along for a skate and a hot 

chocolate. We also had a Treasure 

Hunt, a Jelly Bean Contest, 

with various prizes for the 

winners, who received book 

certificates, T-Shirts or a 

lunch at Wringer's Cafe. A 

very good time was had by all 

at this event, which is totally 

organized by , parent volunteers. 

On Valentine's Day, the Student 

Council delivered candygrams 

which they had prepared 

and sold the previous 

week. Since we have a 

changeover of the Student 

Council at the beginning of 

February, both the old and new 

Council were invited to help 

prepare the candy-grams, 

which lessened the workload 

considerably. Many candygrams 

were sold; red cinnamon 

hearts were a very popular 

item on that day. Valentine's 

Day was also a "red and white" 

day with students and staff 

alike parading in their best 

red and white togs. 

On the 15th of February, all 

the Junior students visited the 

Adult High School to attend a 

presentation on the origin of 

Jazz. On February 16, the Primary 

grades had visitors from 

the Lung Association, who 

gave presentations on the 

damage and the harm of 

smoking. The Junior students 

had presentations by the Lung 

Association on February 27. 

We ended that week with the 

"Concours oratoire" in the 

morning, and the Carnival in 

the afternoon. The oral 

speaking contest is a compulsory 

part of the Language Arts 

program here at First Avenue. 

The students pick a topic on 

which they do research an 

then prepare an oral presentation. 

Two students from each 

class, a boy and a girl, are chosen 

as finalists, and they present 

their speeches to the student 

body. At that time, they 

are officially judged by educators 

who work outside our 

school. 

The winner in the intensive 

French category was Laura 

Haley (Gr. 5). She will 

represent the Ottawa Board of 

Education in the Concours d'art 

oratoire on Tuesday March 7th 

at Fisher Park Public School. 

In the Early French 

Immersion Category Lauren 

Reid (Gr. 5) placed 1st., 

Michaela Mankowski (Gr. 5) 

placed 2nd, and Timothy Ritcey 

(Gr. 6) placed 3rd. Lauren will 

represent First Avenue school 

at the Concours d'art oratoire. 

Thanks to Roxanne Parent 

who organized this 

competition at First Avenue 

school. 

In the afternoon, the whole 

school was outside for the 

Carnival. Organized by several 

staff members, the Grade six 

students were in charge of the 

teams which included members 

from various classes. Activities 

included: rope-pull, 

bowling, hit the ball in the 

bucket, toboggan races, bowling, 

and egg races, to name 

just a few. Hot chocolate was 

served as well to all the teams. 

It was a fun-filled afternoon. 

February 20 was Heritage 

Day, and at First Avenue, also 

Grandparents' Day. The 

grandparents of the Primary 

students visited the classes in 

the morning, and talked to the 

classes about their heritage. 

Afterwards, they were invited 

to the gym with the students tc 

partake of tea or coffee and 

cookies. In the afternoon, the 

grandparents visited their 

grandchildren in the Junior 

grades, telling them about 

their heritage, and having a 

cup of tea with them in the 

gym. Some grandparents were 

able to come twice. If the 

beautiful smiles we saw are 

any indication, we can surmise 

that everyone had a good time.

Corpus Christi School 

Fun-filled Mardi Gras 

"I was amazed at the support 

community businesses gave to 

our Mardi Gras," reports Jill 

Henderson. Henderson led the 

led the parent organizing 

group and their focus was to 

provide a fun evening for the 

Corpus Christi School community. 

The event was held at 

Blessed Sacrament on Tuesday, 

February 2 8th. Traditionally 

the Mardi Gras is held the day 

before Lent begins and this, 

the seventh consecutive year, 

was no exception. 

"Children had a great time," 

says Maureen Winges, another 

one of the organizers. There 

were all kinds of games for the 

children to play, as well as a 

casino for the adults. The fish 

pond had a long line-up of 

young children, whereas the 

older students seemed to prefer 

to slapshot hockey. 

The White Elephant table included 

many children's books, 

magazines and jewellery, and 

the baked goods were a real 

drawing card. "The raffles 

included an autographed 

hockey stick from the Senators 

that all of the children, and 

many dads, wanted to win," reports 

Sandra Herrick. 

The staff and students of the 

school are very grateful to the 

countless parents who enthusiastically 

donated time, energy 

and talents to make this 

event a success. Each year the 

Mardi Gras/Carnival draws the 

community together for an 

evening of fun and entertainment. 

The school PTA would like to 

thank all 93 sponsors who donated 

prizes to help make this 

a memorable event. Special 

thanks to McKeen Loeb Glebe 

for their help with the pizza 

supper and to Denis Bussieres. 

INTERNAT'L WOMEN'S WEEK 

As part of the activities during 

International Women's 

Week (March 6-10), women of 

interest in the Corpus Christi 

School community will be 

talking to students in grades 

four to six. The school staff 

have consulted the parent resource 

manual and contacted 

parents who have agreed to 

discuss their role in the family, 

in society, and at work. 

"Hopefully, the boys and 

girls will become more aware 

of the challenges of balancing 

a job and a family" says Mme. 

Lafleur. "We also hope that 

children will learn about different 

career paths and about 

equity in relationships."

Fringe Festival '95 at Glebe 

set for April 25th 28th 

BY BRIAN ROSE 

With another excellent installment 

of Backstage Theatre 

under its belt, the Glebe Drama 

Club is seeking to outdo itself 

again with the largest volume 

of talent ever to be assembled 

into one event - the Glebe 

Fringe Festival '95. 

The annual Fringe Festival is 

a collection of student-directed 

theatre. This year's festival 

will be a four-night event, 

from April 25 to April 28. It 

promises to be the best and 

busiest Fringe Festival yet, 

with over twenty plays and 

films in the works. More than 

any other event, Fringe is a 

forum for student talent. It is 

the perfect opportunity for 

anyone interested in writing, 

acting, or directing, or for 

anyone with a talent for organizing 

and coordinating a 

massive group effort. The students 

who are staging plays 

and making films are the focus 

of the entire endeavour, but 

they are being helped by a 

hard working group of producers. 

The three student producers, 

including Sally Sax, Kristin 

Greenacre and myself are responsible 

for organizing the 

whole event and getting it off 

the ground. Helping with administrative 

duties this year 

are staff members Magda 

Rundle and Cherie Oulette, and 

There was love in the air 

during 'Spirit Week' 

BY SHANNON BRIGHT 

The arrival of February 

brought a major initiative by 

the Glebe Athletic Board and 

the Student Council to counter 

the blahs which generally hit 

at this time of year as students 

begin to feel worn out and 

overworked. 

To kick the month off, 400 

students took part in the third 

annual Celebrity Volleyball 

Tournament. A week later students 

enjoyed a Valentine's 

Day Assembly which included 

entertaining skits by the grade 

12 drama class for the promotion 

of Spirit Week, "Valentino's 

Lovefest." The highlight 

of the Assembly, however, was 

our Principal, Mr. Thompson, 

who sang a Valentine love 

song followed by a standing 

ovation. Spirit Week included 

several activities to encourage 

the students to be in the mood 

for love. Starting with the selection 

of the "Queen of Hearts" 

and ending with the crowning 

of the "King of Hearts." On 

Monday, each boy wore a red 

heart on his shirt and the girls 

endeavoured to collect as many 


overseeing the entire operation 

is Jocelyn Rheaume, 

drama teacher and queen of 

the Glebe Drama Club. 

It is very gratifying to see 

the number of talented people 

taking an interest in the 

Fringe Festival and getting involved. 

Directors are holding 

auditions and choosing their 

casts, filmmakers are busy 

writing scripts and assembling 

footage, and actors are watching 

the cast lists go up, hoping 

to find their name on one of 

them. Everyone is busy, and 

having fun. For me, the hardest 

job is going to be finding 

enough rooms in which to 

display all this talent. 

The Fringe Festival is like a 

big, heavy wheel - give it a 

push and it starts to roll on its 

own, fueled by the interest and 

hard work of everyone involved. 

We, the producers, 

have given it the push and 

now we're standing back and 

watching it roll. I am looking 

forward to that last week of 

April with enthusiasm and a 

bit of apprehension. I hope to 

see many people from the 

community attending the festival, 

to see for themselves 

what students can do when you 

give them a change. Tickets 

can be bought in the two 

weeks prior to the festival or at 

the door. 

hearts as possible. The first 

girl a boy talked to outside 

class was entitled to collect his 

heart and the girl with the 

most hearts at the end of the 

day was named Queen. The opposite 

procedure was followed 

on Friday to select the King. 

The Queen and King were 

Vanessa Fragu and Matt West. 

Students had the opportunity 

to buy roses and carnations to 

send to their special friends, 

and on Valentine's Day four 

students dressed up as cupids tc 

distribute these flowers to the 

students. The following two 

days were reserved for the 

Graduation Committee which 

sponsored a "Buy Me" auction. 

Students were able to pay 

money to "buy" other students 

for a day to carry books, dress 

up as requested and generally 

act crazy. 

On Friday, the Disco 

Valentino dance returned. 

Students dressed in outstanding 

costumes and filled the 

gym, dancing to old romantic 

tunes. Altogether the week 

was a grand success and Glebe 

is already anticipating spring!

Shad Valley summer 

BY GEORGE HOLLAND 

Shad Valley is an exciting 

summer program designed especially 

for top students in 

grades 11 and 12. This award 

winning program is offered at 

eight Canadian universities 

during the month of July. 

Most students then have paid 

work terms with sponsoring 

organizations for the rest of 

the summer. While offering a 

varied experience, Shad Valley 

focuses on three main areas; 

excellence, science and technology 

and also entrepreneurship.

Celebrity volleyball raised $4,000 for United Way 

BY LINDA DENT 

On Friday February 3, four 

hundred Glebites charged off 

to school at 7:00 a.m., in crazy 

costumes to meet their teams 

and play volleyball in the 

third annual Celebrity Volleyball 

Tournament fundraiser 

for the United Way. The Glebe 

gym was transformed into a 

Hollywood setting, decorated 

and alive with loud music. 

Forty teams and three 

Celebrity teams played for ten 

hours while classes continued 

upstairs. 

The big winner was the 

United Way who collected 

$4,000 from the Glebe Community. 

The Glebe Athletic 

Board who organized this 

event would like to thank all of 

the parents and neighbours 

who donated to the volleyball 

players. Vicky Wilgress and 

Kim Canary from the United 

Way were very impressed with 

the spirit and energy of the 

Glebe students. 

Glebe students like to have 

fun and that's why the Glebe

leadership of Lorne Gavsie,

goes to our supporting businesses. 

The top prize of a dinner

The feedback from students 

was extremely positive: "I 

thought all the speakers were 

brilliant. I'm now considering 

going into engineering," "It 

was a great idea to give us the 

opportunity to meet with 

women in fields that we are 

interested in pursuing," "The 

conference was a very good 

idea, it let girls know what is 

involved in the different fields 

and the courses required," 

"Good presentations, changed 

my interests and I am now 

aware of new and interesting 

options," "I think it should be 

continued yearly." 

Finally a questionnaire 

given out asked students if 

they were interested in enrolling 

in a science co-op 

placement next year or 

learning more about co-op. 

The response was most pleasing, 

32 students requested an 

appointment to discuss co-op 

placements. If our goal was to 

interest young women in science, 

these results indicate 

success.

Erica Jong's latest 'brilliantly frank about women'

FEAR OF FIFTYA 

MIDLIFE MEMOIR 

By Erica Jong 

Harper Collins, 325 pages, 

$29.95 (cloth) 

When Erica long wrote Fear 

of Flying back in 1973, a fictional 

commentary of the sexual 

revolution of the 1960's, 

from which she herself had 

sprung, readers were exposed 

to talking dirty from the pen 

of a brilliant, witty and talented 

female author. 

Jong was simultaneously 

mythologized and demonized 

for being original and outrageous, 

as frank about sex as all 

women wished to be, but dared 

not articulate. Jong's infamous 

expression "zipless f--k," 

meant that women, like men, 

could go to bed with a lover, 

have a delicious night in the 

sack and next morning, either 

male or female could walk 

away from the experience with 

similar feelings of non-commitment. 

Naturally the contraceptive 

pill helped make Jong's novel 

plausible, but her critics, 

many of them feminists like 

herself, felt that she was calling 

the shots wrong that 

women were the true 

guardians of emotional energy, 

not the guys, not only to 

f--k like a man, but to think 

like one, was unacceptable. But 

Jong used the "F-word" so often, 

that it was no longer gender-fixated. 

She had won and 

the critics lost; she became a 

household saint, hovering in 

the bedrooms of every country a.)

How to describe this work of goes beyond herself to univernon-fiction 

is similar to tack- salize, even when she sets out 

not to do so -- a great compliment 

to her writing as well as 

her highly original thinking. 

She laments that successful 

women today are often without

male partners but not without 

offspring. Jong has three exhusbands, 

but claims to have 

found peace with number four. 

Her one daughter is from a 

previous marriage. But as one 

reads this midlife vivisection, 

the reader is certain that as 

much as this particular 

woman, Erica Jong, needs men 

in her lifethey need her! 

And not just for sex, but love. 

Then there are the children, 

the so-called Biblical benefit 

from knowing a woman. Here, 

Jong's Jewish soul gets a true 

airing as she confronts the-. 

patriarchy as nakedly as her 

loyers. The next generation, 

the result of our lovemaking, 

is as crucial and fragile as always. 

Every parent, male and 

female alike, is responsible for 

his/her offspring. In the 

secular world of today, the 

irony is that every man or 

woman's vocational success is 

defined not only by labour in 

the marketplace, but the quality 

of the childcare available. 

The wife who raises the kids 

could just as easily be the husband 

or the daycare centre or 

the caregiver. 

Who will responsibly watch 

over this next generation? 

Jong asks as she invokes the 

names of various goddesses, in 

addition to the Biblical God. 

Both in this world and the 

world to come, if there is one, 

we are all accountable.

Peter Harris, and without the 

usual notification to nearby 

property owners, the zoning 

on lands the Co-op owned was 

changed to permit the erection 

of a 13-storey office block on 

the present CS Co-op site and 

two residential towers on the 

Lyon and Bay Street corners of 

Slater Street. Since the zoning 

of the land was altered to 

permit the office tower, the 

two residential towers, in order 

to accommodate the residential 

floor-space the zoning otherwise 

required, had to be permitted 

excessive heights. In 

addition, required park or 

recreational space was limited 

to a parklet above street level. 

No study was made of the effect 

on street life of the tall office 

building. Park Square itself is 

also 13 storeys high, but the 

office tower's commercial 

storeys are considerably 

higher, so the building would 

loom over a canyon it created 

on Albert Street. (As a tricyclist, 

I can attest that the wind

THE ARTHRITIS SOCIETY

Ministry at Glebe Centre 

BY MIRIAM OXENFORD 

PASTORAL CARE 

COORDINATOR 

Christian ministry has been 

an integral part of Glebe Centre 

from its inception. The 

concern of both the Board of 

Directors and the Centre Administrator 

for the spiritual 

and religious needs of residents 

is evident in that a coordinator 

for pastoral care is on 

staff. We believe that it is vital 

for residents to be able to follow 

their own faith traditions. 

In the more than twenty years 

since Glebe Centre opened its 

doors, a number of dedicated 

ministers have worked to 

bring "church" to those residents 

who are no longer able 

to attend worship within their 

own faith communities. 

The need for expression of 

faith in praise and prayer does 

not diminish with age. The 

need for opportunities to 

lament and to sing with joy are 

as great as in earlier years. 

The fulfillment of these needs 

is provided by more than forty 

community clergy who share 

in leading ecumenical and denominational 

worship services 

at the Centre on a regular basis. 

Several members of the 

community provide music 

leadership "for services and for 

regular times Of just "singing 

hymns." 

For the pastoral care coordinator, 

a great deal of work lies 

in visiting residents, as any 

minister visits church members. 

Older people have a 

wealth of memories to share, of 

the days of driving to school 

with a horse and cutter, and of 

learning and teaching in oneroom 

schools,of the days of 

fellowship in small communities; 

of growing up on farms 

and milking cows, or working, 

of families, of life and of death. 

Despite the frustrations and 

difficulties that are often part 

of growing older, residents 

live as fully as possible, and 

the sharing of laughter and 

tears, joy and sorrow, is a part 

of that living. 

There is a great need for 

pastoral visiting, and never 

enough hours or people to accomplish 

it. We would welcome 

those who would be interested 

in ecumenical pastoral visiting 

with older people. Visitors are 

not asked to "preach," but to be 

caring listeners, and we offer 

an in-house training program 

for those without training. If 

you are a member in good 

standing of your church, with 

two or three hours a week to 

spare, please call 238-2727, ext. 

337 and let us know of your 

interest. 

St. Matthew's to present 

Bach St. John Passion 

Bach, baroque and choral 

fans in Ottawa are to be treated 

to the first performance of the 

St. John Passion in the area in 

several years. 

On Sunday, March 26, the 

combined choirs of Men & Boys 

and Women & Girls of St. 

Matthew's Anglican Church 

will be joined by the Men & 

Boys of St. Simon's, Toronto, 

and a host of nationally and 

internationally acclaimed 

soloists and musicians to 

perform what is perhaps 

Bach's most exciting and 

moving oratorio. 

The choirs will be directed by 

Kevin Reeves, and will be 

joined by Daniel Taylor - 

Counter-Tenor, Nils Brown - 

Tenor, who will sing the role 

of the Evangelist, David Arnot 

Johnston - Tenor, Lyndon 

We're pinning 

our hopes on you. 

Slewidge - Bass, and Louis 

Marie Gallant who will perform 

the role of Christus. The 

organist is well-known 

Toronto musician Ian Sadler. 

"The choirs are already hard 

at work rehearsing this wonderful 

music," says Reeves. He 

is particularly pleased that St. 

Simon's Choir, which has performed 

the work on several 

occasions under their director 

Derek Holman, will be joining 

St. Matthew's. "It will be a 

memorable evening," he said. 

Tickets are now on sale at St. 

Matthew's and are available by 

calling the church office at 

234-4024. They will also be sold 

at the door on the night of the 

performance. General 

admission is $15., seniors and 

students $10.
