ODAWA Friendship Centre Indian Showcase
By Laird Greenshields
The former Central Alliance Church, 600 St., has new occupants
with plans to turn the building into a showcase for native culture.
The Odawa Native Friendship Centre held a kick-off banquet and dance at
the National Arts Centre on March 20 and hopes to raise $1 million to
finance the project.
The aim of the project is to provide an embassy for native people
coming to Ottawa and facilities for presenting exhibitions of native arts
The Friendship Centre located at 180 Waller St. does not provide the
necessary facilities for exhibitions or recreational activities. With
this in mind, the organization set out in search of a better location and
decided on the Bank Street building.
We want the new centre to be a showcase for native culture," says
fund-raising chairman Ernie McEwen, former director of the Indian and
Eskimo Association. McEwen has a 19-year history of involvement with
native groups.
McEwen feels the purchase of the Bank Street centre will provide
native people the opportunity to expose their arts to a greater extent.
He sa4, "Although overlooked for a long time, the native peoples
have a rich cultural heritage to share with Canada and the world. This
centre will make that possible."
Bill Caves, President of the Odawa Native Friendship Centre said,
"The new centre is envisaged as a focal point for Indian, Metis and
Inuit culture in Canada."
Support from across the country and many areas has reached the project's
organizers. The Honourable Ralph Steinhauer, former Lieutenant-
Governor of Alberta said the centre "will provide linkage at the national
level among all of our native peoples and the ethnic groups making up
the Canadian mosaic."
A special Benefit headlining musician Dominic D'Arcy will be held
Lt the Centre 1 pm to 4 pm this Sunday. He will be joined by native
and non-native country singers. A special invitation is out to all
Glebites to attend this and other coming events.
At the National Arts Centre fundraiser, Mayor Marion Dewar said, "As
the national capital, Ottawa should endeavour to develop a positive
Image of Canada's native people."
Noel Starblanket, National Indian Brotherhood
President, said he knew of no Indian art on
display in the National Gallery of Canada."It
seems that Indian art in Canada is relegated to
the museums as artifacts or curios - in a city
as vibrant as Ottawa this is not enough."
Still in the initial growing stages, the
Native Centre hopes to be open to an extent by
the summer. Call Odawa Centre at 232-1778 for
further information. The organization wants to
fit into the fabric of the community and let
ciphe people know they're here.

Money Problems
By B.J.R. Silberman
Merchants in the Glebe are doing the "barnyard
shuffle".
In the past few weeks more changes have taken
place in the ownership and location of businesses
along Bank Street than usually occur in an
entire year in other areas.
At least five stores have closed including
McElroy's Shoes which has held its doors open to
shoppers for almost 70 years.
Five shops have changed locations within the
Glebe. The shortest move was made by The Book
Bazaar which moved north one block from Second
and Third to its new domain between First and
Second.
Other stores in the Glebe have beglin plans
for expansion and several new businesses like a
florist and a pub are expected to sprout up in
the new Spring season.
Doug McKeen, Chairman of the Business Association
in the Glebe says "it's the times right
now."
He explains that high interest rates, which
affect businesses trying to finance their own
inventory and accounts receivable, have forced
some shops to relocate to dodge hiph rents or
to close down altogether.
In the case of older Glebe establishments,
ncKeen says the elderly people
running them want to retire and
the "kids don't want to take
them over."
Alderman Michèle MacKinnon
says there has "always been a lot
of turnaround in the Glebe.
The area has been "one of the
most fashionable places to live"
in the last ten years and "as
the residential area becomes
more desirable, the commercial
expansion follows."

In the flurry of recent decisions and activities
and the various media interpretations
of these, it may not now be clear that the
question of upgrading this building has not
been dropped.
The $300,000 initially ear-marked for the
first stage of this project is still available.
However, the amount of $964,650 to
establish a reserve fund, which was to have
been raised in this year's tax levy (but
spent in 1981) has been deleted.
Thus, the time-line for the decisions of
the Users' Committee and the Ottawa Board of
Education trustees, and any ensuing activity,
has not necessarily been changed since, 1)
The project would not likely have been completed
in 1981 in any case and 2) money required
for this project could still be
found in the 1981 or 1981 and 1982 budgets.
The Users' Committee will soon submit its
recommendation to the Board and it will be
evaluated and in the light of the various area
studies recommendations, acted upon.

1Crime Prevention
By Michèle Macinnon
There has been a rash of break-ins in the Glebe area in the past
few months. Several businesses and many private homes were hit. Within
the Ottawa Police Department, Constable Michel Tessier, of the Crime
Prevention and Community Relations Section, is responsible for the
Glebe area. He can be reached at 236-0311, extension 272. Upon request,
Constable Tessier will visit your home and inspect it for security.
He will point out vulnerable spots, such as wobbly screen windows, and
faulty locks, some of which are easily opened with a credit card. He will
offer advice to help make your home safer .
A few years ago, the Police Department, as a guest of the Glebe Community
Association, explained the advantages of Operation Identification,
and urged all residents to take advantage of this system. The Police
Officer also stressed the importance of keeping houses well-lit,
both outside and inside. I know that most Glebe residents are energyconscious
and thus, around 10 p.m., many streets are pitched into total
darkness, with all porch lights and house lights turned off. This is
unfortunate because the energy consumed by a 40-watt bulb on the porch
and a few more inside is minimal and the safety benefits of a well-lit
home are considerable.
If you wish to have your home visited, please contact Constable
Tessier and take advantage of this useful service offered by your
Police Department.
A few notes on bicycles: expensive models, locked to porches, have
been stolen in broad daylight with the owner in the home, and taken from
unlocked garages. If you do not have a garage, do not leave the bicycle
on the porch, bring it inside, no matter how large your lock. If
you leave it in a garage, make sure the door is locked at all times.
Shake up a Sheik.

But MacKinnon says Glebe residents do not
patronize businesses in their own area. Many
Glebites try and shop at supermarket chains out
of the area where prices are cheaper.
This "makes it very hard for them (Glebe
businesses) to survive."
MacKinnon says most people who shop in the
Glebe are from the "outside". Many come from
as far away as Hull because they are attracted
to places like the Glebe Meat Market, the Lightening
Bakery and Loretta's Bakery, all well
known for high quality goods.
She says this poses problems for access to
parking and free movement in traffic and "Glebe
residents don't like it."
The Business Association in the Glebe has
recently begun to take steps which could see a
reduction in future turnover rates.
McKeen says the organization received approval
four months ago from City Hall of a Business
Improvement Application.
If Glebe merchant response favours the going
ahead of Business Improvement budgets and schemes,
this could result in various promotional activities
like sidewalk sales and carnivals.
This would attract more shoppers to the area
and increase business activity.

Fifth Avenue Court Saga
Photo by Toni Venturi
By Doug Gloin
The unfinished renovation of the Glebe's Fifth Avenue Court has been
stalled since late December, and merchants in the complex are anxious to
learn when, if ever, construction will resume on the site.
Calling the lack of progress "disheartening" and a "colossal mess,"
shopkeeper Wayne Duford said businessmen in the building are suffering
from the confusion, which is due largely to financial difficulties
encountered by the site's developer, Phil Waserman.
The Fifth Avenue Court has been the focus of some controversy since
its inception. Its first planned completion date was November, 1979,
later amended to May of this year. However, the structure stands only
half-completed at this time.
Early this year, the proposed complex met with stiff opposition from
area residents over the addition of a roof over the entire site, something
which had not been included when the project was first approved by City
Hall. The Court, complete with its roof, received only reluctant approval
from Council in January.
The storekeepers have been faced with the loss of their storefront
signs because of the renovations, in addition to about 80 parking spaces,
which would be replaced by underground parking in the finished building.
They say the confusion and disarray around the court make it unattractive
to shoppers.
The incredible "hulk"
Duford said he and his partner in their Glebe Fish Market had planned
to open a restaurant upstairs in the court in addition to their first
floor operation. Because of the delays in construction most of the
second floor remains unfinished, and Duford says they are paying mortgage
money for a restaurant they cannot open.
Peter Thompson, owner of Earfull Records Store, said the delays have
hurt his business too. He said he had "counted on moving into a mall,
with mall traffic" when he leased his second floor store in November. In
addition to construction delays, city hall building inspectors have told
him he must have fire exit signs and other renovations done to the unfinished
areas surrounding the store or face possible closure.
Waserman said last week "I dont think anyone is more disappointed in
this (the delays) than I am." He cited financial difficulties as the
reason. Much of this confusion stems from the Court's long battle for
approval in its present form from City Hall, he said. Because his
financiers granted him only a short-term mortgage, the terms of which
expired with the delay, he was left without financial support.
Waserman also said recent hikes in interest rates caused much of the
financial difficulty. He said that this confusion has now been "cleared
up" and that construction will resume within the next two weeks.
However, some merchants expressed misgivings at the news. One shopkeeper,
who refused to be identified, said she would believe it when
workmen started to work on the building again.
Some Glebe residents are concerned the unfinished building may be left
as an eyesore. Howard Smith, President of the Glebe Community Association
said he was disappointed in the halt of construction. "I wouldn't want
to have the hulk left standing there."
Most of the store owners said that more than anything else they would
like to see the confusion surrounding the affair cleared up so they
can carry on business. "The whole thing has been up in the air for months,
and that's what is so disturbing," one shopkeeper said.

BROTHERS THREE (480 Bank St.)
Imagine this scene: you have just finished painting the dining-room
when good friends from out-of-town unexpectedly appear on your doorstep.
How many of us could be gracious hosts, prepare an appetizing meal, and
serve it with flair after a day of painting?
Well, the Brothers Three pulled it off without a hitch recently in
the midst of redecorating their dining lounge. Although they had plan-
ned to stay closed for the day, some regular customers showed up and so
it was business as usual. As a result we were able to enjoy a pleasant
meal and excellent service on a rainy, unpleasant evening.
Veal Marsala, warm rolls, Italian salad
The Brothers Three offers variations on three themes - steak, seafood,
and Italian dishes - and over a very reasonable price range, from
spaghetti at $3.75 to lobster tails for $10.95. Other main dishes for
example, include lasagna ($3.95), filet of sole ($4.95). stuffed trout
($5.75), shish kebab ($7.95), and filet mignon ($8.95).
We ordered veal marsala ($5.95), spaghetti and the Italian salad
2.90). Dinner started well when glasses of ice water were brought
automatically to the table together with a basket of rolls which were
crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and hot all the way through -
an ubeatable but rare combination. We divided the Italian salad of
lettuce cheese, ham egg, radishes, and olives. It was generous for two,
would serve three comfortably, and probably be adequate for four.
The veal marsala was served in a tasty sauce, with cauliflower, and,
in true Italian fashion, a helping of spaghetti. The veal was good and
the cauliflower though bland, a pleasant change from the tried but true
veggies offered in many restaurants. My friend's plate of spaghetti and
meat sauce was hot and hearty and just missed being extra good because
the pasta was a bit overcooked.
Good value for money
a short walk away
The Brothers deliberately offer a limited choice of desserts - basically
some standard pies and ice-cream. As one of the owners explained
many customers do not order sweets and the restaurant has often been
left with unwanted desserts. Having a congenital sweet tooth, I tried
the raisin pie ($1.25) anyway. It was a cut above the usual cardboard
box variety but otherwise reflected the owners' desire to concentrate
on main dishes. This they do quite successfully, giving good value for
money. Diners are also offered a good range of drinks and a modest
choice of wines.
The Brothers Three promises to be even more attractive once the redecorating
is complete. I hope that in the process they will disconnect
the speaker playing AM radio - the one Impediment to an otherwise enjoyable
evening. I recommend a short walk north of the Queensway for
all Glebites looking for good food at reasonable prices - Brothers
Three fits the bill.

from PARLIAMENT HILL
On April 14 the Governor General delivered the Speech from the Throne
to open the 32nd Parliament of Canada. Parliament will face great
challenges not only in this year but in the 1980's as a whole. We face
the effects of international turM'oil in Iran and Afghanistan along with
economic and social problems at home. I look forward to these challenges
and to serving and representing the people of Ottawa Centre on
local and national issues. I also look forward to my new responsibilities
as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance, the
Honourable Allan MacEachen.
The clear priority of the Liberal Government is national development.
This is based on Canadians realistically living within their means. As
it should be, the Government intends to help. The Liberal Government is
committed to reducing unacceptably high interest rates, helping homeowners
who must renegotiate their mortgages, increasing available funds
to small businessmen under the Small Business Loans Act, raising the
Guaranteed Income Supplement for pensioners by $35 per month per household
by July 1, 1980, creating new jobs, and promoting Canadian exports
through a national trade corporation.
Because of this heavy workload the House of Commons will work into
late summer. As always, Iwill do my best to represent your interests.
I hope you will not hesitate to contact me with your ideas and advice.
The Constituency Office has been closed temporarily. You may still
reach me at 238-6295.

Do you remember the little old iron hemming
birds? Depress the tail to open the beak, catch
the fabric to be hemmed and you were ready
stitch up a storm!
Well this Hemming Bird does much more. It is
a delightful children's boutique, a visual treat
of creative, individual and simply lovely
children's wear, all custom made, ready-towear.
The owner/manager, Joyce Lillico, is a 25.

job. It is hard to leave a good paying, secure
job. However, Joyce feels that there is more
to life. One has to have a feeling of accomplishment
and fulfillment.
While participating in an Ottawa Craft Fair,
Joyce was asked to consider going into businesswould
she'like to open up a shop at the Yellow
Brick Road? The time was right and the Hemming
Bird opened last November.
Joyce enjoys working with people, knowing the
faces and names of her clients and their children
and seeing the pleasure on their faces when
they find the right addition to their wardrobe.
"It's all very gratifying", she said.
Joyce is as charming as the garments she
creates. As a mother she understands the needs
of both parent and child and her designs combine
beautifully,both superb constuction and the
artistry of a gifted designer. Her natural flair
and talents are inherited from her mother, Terry
Drupsteen who assists in production.
At the Hemmingbird one is provided with personal
service and good quality clothing at reasonable
prices. Other services include made- toorder
garments and a consultation in your home
to colour co-ordinate special order patchwork

Former Hopewell Principal honoured Recapture youth at
Hopewell's 70th Reunion
W. G. Strong shows present Hopewell Principal Doug Beaman scrapbooks
By Mary Ahearn
William George Strong is now 86 years old, living in Glebe Centre
Home for Senior Citizens, surrounded by reminders of a life well spent.
He was born on a farm in Huron County,attended the University of Toronto,
and taught a number of years in rural schools before travelling to Ottawa
in 1923, where he has remained for 57 years.
His five and a half decades in Ottawa started with a teaching position
at Kent St. School (now the Journal Building), then to York St.School in
Lowertown, where he met his wife, the former Georgina De Long: she had
attended Rideauvale (now Hopewell) as a youngster. Bill Strong also
taught at Mutchmor, Glashan and Elmdale (where Doug Beaman, the current
Principal at Hopewell, was one of his pupils). Finally in 1944, he went
to Hopewell as principal. In the intervening years, Strong took summer
and extension courses, and he received the first Masters of Education
conferred by Bishop's University in 1945. His Masters' thesis concerned
"the nature and nurture of gifted children"; it was at Hopewell in 1958
that the Board placed the first classes for gifted children, under the
supervision of Strong.
Bill Strong's interests over the years took him outside the sphere of
education. For 20 years, he taught Christian Education at Dominion
Chalmers Church; he was ordained an Elder there, and served as Clerk of
Session for 10 years. He was also Chairman of the Cubs and Scouts
Committee. Other Boards he served on include the Children's Aid Society,
Neighbourhood Services, Men's Teaching Association, Athletic Organizations
and the Protestant Home for the Aged. He has also been active with the
Masonic Temple, and is a Life member of the Rose Croix.
After the death of his wife, Georgina two years ago, Mr. Strong sold
his Fentiman Avenue home complete with snowblowers, lawn mower and car,
to a former pupil, and moved into the G':ebe Centre. There he has remained
active with the residents and is Associate Editor of the Newsletter.
Last year, he was elected Citizen of the Year by the Glebe Residents
and was presented with a plaque by the South Ottawa Rotary Club. Despite
his advanced years, this octogenarian remains active and brings the same
enthusiasm to his interests as he always has - Strong keeps going strong!

Do you ever get the urge to return to your
past? To sit again among the Lilliputian
chairs of your kindergarten class? To gaze in
wonder at the high bars in your old school
gymnasium? To see if the principal's office
was really so terrifying? For many Ottawans,
this opportunity is theirs, as Hopewell School
beckons its former students and members of the
community back for the celebration of its 70th
birthday. The week of May 5th to May 10th will
include a Vocal Music Concert on Monday, May 5th
and an Open House on Wednesday and Thursday.
Saturday, May 10th, will mark a really big day,
with Hopewell's annual garage sale from 9 to
1.30 in the gym; an Open House and Reunion Tea
from 2:30 to 5:00, and from 6.30 on, the agenda
includes a reunion banquet with speakers and
seven decades of song. For those interested in
these activities, or who wish to purchase tickets
for the reunion banquet, contact Jean Montgomery
235-8927.
Child Testing Program
In April, May and June of this year,-the
Public Health Nurses of the Ottawa-Carleton Regional
Health Unit will be screening children
who will be entering school for the first time
in September, 1980. The Screening will consist

If you are interested in having your
child tested, please Lelephone the school where
you will be registering your child and ask that
your name and telephone number be given to the
Public Health Nurse. She will contact you for
an appointment.
These screening programmes are
carried out in the elementary schools of the
Region.

School Band travels to
Kitchener
By Ron Campbell
The Glashan Senior Public School Band recently completed
an exchange program with a Kitchener area counterpart.
The 42-member Glashan band travelled to Kitchener's
Stanley Park Senior Public School March 31 for four days
of music and learning. Mr. Morgan, Glashan's music teacher
said his band went to Kitchener not only to exhibit its
musical talent (which is considerable) but also to see
how school life differs in an area outside Ottawa.
The Glashan band members certainly found differences
between their school's systems. Besides changing classes
more often the Kitchener kids seemed to take "hardly
any French."
The musical highlights of the trip were a night concert
at Stanley Park on Tuesday and a jazz clinic at Grand
River Collegiate Wednesday. Mr. Morgan found his group
had slightly higher skills compared to the Stanley Park
band mainly because Glashan practises harder. The band
members spend one to two hours daily playing their instruments
during and after school. The Glashan kids put
it another way:"Mr. Morgan pushes us hard therefore
we're more advanced."
One of the interesting sights around Kitchener is the
Old Order Mennonite areanear Elmira. "Different" is the
way one student described the spartan life of the Mennonites
The Glashan band returned April 3, after thanking
their billets for an enjoyable stay. To complete the
exchange, the Stanley Park Band came up to Ottawa April 8
and stayed with the members they had hosted the previous
week. They also went to classes and had a concert on Wed.
night. They toured the Parliament Buildings, the Mint
and the Art Gallery before leaving April 11.
As a group the Glashan band thought the exchange was
very worthwhile. Since they raised the money for the trip
through an orange selling drive the Band would like to
thank the community for all its support.
70 Years Old Happy Birthday
Hopewell
By Mary Ahearn
Bill Strong was principal of Hopewell Avenue Public
School for 15 years, from 1944 to 1959, and during these
years he kept a scrapbook of events pertaining to the
school, to record its place in the history of this community
and city.
Hopewell School had its humble beginnings in the pre-
Confederation days when a log school was built to accommodate
the 36 school age children who lived south of the
Rideau Canal. In those days, the area was part of Nepean
Township, and the teacher earned $120 per year. Rideauvale
as it was called, became a 2-storey brick school in 1872,
and when the area was incorporated with the City of Ottawa
in 1909, the school became Hopewell. Mr. T.N. Lewis of
Howick Place in the Glebe, became the first principal of
the eight room school facing Hopewell Avenue.
In 1914, 12 additional classrooms were added to the
North through the expropriation of houses on Sunnyside Ave.
One of these rooms served as the Ottawa South Library, and
others were leased to the Collegiate Board to serve as
Grades 9 and 10, since Lisgar was the closest High School.
Many changes took place in the school system in the
ensuing years. Glebe Collegiate was built in 1922, and
Mutchmor on Fifth Avenue served the Grade 7 and 8 pupils
from Hopewell. But in 1931, a 3-storey addition was added
to Hopewell, and Mutchmor reverted to an elementary school.
At the same time the Canada Packers Plant on Sunnyside
was expropriated to make room for a gymnasium.
In 1944, with the school enrolment a staggering 1200
pupils, W.B. Strong took over as principal of Hopewell.
The scrapbook that he kept during these years is full of
, memorabilia and nostalgia: Charlotte Whitten as Mayor,
school uniforms, the choir and guiding and scouts, the
Highland dancing and school plays. The newspaper clippings
over the years evoke memories of academic achievement, of
head boys and girls, tales of heroism and tragedy, of
school inspections and desk burnings, of citizenship training
and yes, even of Howdy Doody!
In a sense, Bill Strong has been the keeper of the
history of Hopewell, and looks forward to enlightening those
who attend the May reunion.
The scrapbooks may be viewed in the school library.

Quarter Century of Little League
Baseball
(
LE-13E
The Glebe Little League Baseball Association is 25
years young this year. Since its inception in 1955, the
League has provided the youth of the Glebe community
with the opportunity to take part in Little League
Baseball. Thousands of boys and girls have participated;
many of them are today's parents, coaches and umpires.
This year, some 200 boys and girls will play. Their
ages range from six through 18. The League will comprise
four divisions - Minor (Ages 6-12), Major (Ages
11-12), Senior (Ages 13-15) and Big League (Ages 16-18).
A Silver Anniversary Party will be held at the South
Ottawa Community Centre Sat. May 10, 1980 from 8 p.m.
to midnight. Admission is $1.00 per person. Music will
be provided and refreshments available. All Glebe Little

Stoop and scoop please
The letter in the January 19 issue of "Glebe
Report" is an unnecessarily emotional response
to the question of dogs. In replying thus, I
think the point of the objection was missed.
Nobody is denying the ownership of dogs.
All one asks is that the owners be sufficiently
responsible to clean up after their dogs, keep
them under control and prevent them from being
a general nuisance. That much is asked of
parents regarding their children.
I find it disgusting to step in excrement
whether it comes from dogs, cats, horses or
people. The problem in the parks here, is in
fact from dogs, to my knowledge. I would
support a "stoop and scoop" law that is enforced,
Whether one is walking one's dog, horse,
cow or child.

South Ottawa Soccer news
By Jack McRae
Registration for the 1980 season has provided many candidates for cornpetitive
team tryouts. The best of these players are now being selected
and placed on "A" and "B" level teams so it appears that South
Ottawa will be well represented from Atoms to Juniors when league play
begins in May. Incidentally half of these players are from the Glebe.
Some figures from the Canadian Youth Soccer Handbook show the
growth of mfnor soccer from 1973 to 1978.
1973 1976 1978
Canada 68,668 105,000 150,000
Ontario 33,952 41,292 60,067
Similar statistics from 1972 the year our Ottawa-Carleton youth
league was formed:
1972 1976 1978
Ottawa 806 2707 4527
This tremendous growth during the 70's has left soccer in the Ottawa
area with three problems: 1) a shortage of fields to practice and play
on. 2) a shortage of coaches and managers to run the many teams.
3) a shortage of referees to officiate the games.
The field problem can only be solved by soccer rlayers and supporters
informing the city about the need for more facilities.
The coaching problem is being worked on by the league and its
member clubs which are holding Technical Coaching clinics to go along
with the Coaching Theory Courses offered by the Ontario Govt. at
Ottawa University. A Level I technical Clinic is being held Sat.
May 24 and Sat. May 31 at Lisgar Collegiate. This is a Canadian
Soccer Association course which introduced the aspirant coach to the
basics of the game and coaching methods.
The Ottawa branch of the Ontario Referees Association is offering
a Referees Clinic on two Saturdays in mid April. This is an introduction
to the Laws of the game and is open to anyone 14 years of age
or over who is interested in becoming a referee. Cost $5. Hopefully
many new officials will graduate from this course and be out in force
this summer.
Bill Thomson, Canadian Soccer Association director of coaching is
giving a presentation on coaching - Mini Soccer - and the many related
materials available at the CSA. This is for the benefit of all the
present South Ottawa coaches plus anyone interested in coaching soccer
this summer. The date is Wed. April 23 at the Riverside United Church
at 7:15 p.m.

Soccer is a demanding all-round sport which
provides fitness, stamina, strength, endurance
and flexibility. This was proven by the good
showing of Lenarduzzi of the Whitecaps and
Brian Budd of the Blizzard in the Canadian Superstars.
In fact, Budd won the Canadian Competit-
ion and then went on to win the World Superstars
for the third straight time March 14th in the
Bahamas.
The NASL season is now underway and Global
T.V. Netwrok is broadcasting many Blizzard
games so be on the look out for them.
Swimming Kingfish Busy
By Ron Campbell
It was another busy month for Ottawa Kingfish
swimmers as they recently concluded their short
course season. Five members of the team
travelled to Toronto for the Canadian Championships
a few weeks ago. Breaststroker Anne
Merklinger and butterflyer Nancy Horne both
finished fourth in their respective events.
Their placing in this meet is especially promising
considering the top three finishers in
each event at the Olympic trials will be taken
to Moscow (that is, providing Canadian athletes
go to the Olympics).
At the Canadian Junior Nationals in Brantford
Chris Pilon won the men's 100 metre breaststroke
and Ruth Horne captured the 100 metre butterfly.
Back home at Brewer pool the Kingfish con-
:lacted the Swim-a-thon swim last week. Most of
the swimmers completed the 200 metre lengths in
under 2 hours; some even did the whole thing
'-utterfly: Thanks to all of you who sponsored
swimmers this year.
The Kingfish will be travelling to Montreal
for their next meet, presently scheduled for
April 22-23. Anyone interested in joining the
Kingfish should phone Brewer pool for details.

Executive Nominations Sought
The GCA's Annual General Meeting will be held on Mon. tçay 26 at the
Glebe Community Centre, and in addition to a special program, there will
be an election of a new Executive for 1980-81. If you would be interested
in serving on this Executive, please contact a member of the Nominating
Committee (Leslie Scheffer at 232-4108, Joyce McCaffrey at
233-6582, or John McLeod at 234-4083) or myself at 235-7400. Next year's
Executive will face just as many interesting challenges and opportunities
for innovative community action as over the last several years.
Cartier Square for Canadians
Another development project on Cartier Square is receiving the attention
of community groups in Centretown and other parts of the city. The
following represents the GCA's views on the matter.
Dear Mr. Cosgrove: (Minister of Public Works)
Cartier Square
March 31, 1980.
The Glebe Community Association would like to express its concerns
with respect to the future use of Cartier Square.
We have followed with great interest this discussion on how one of
the few available parcels of federally owned land in downtown Ottawa
will be developed. The GCA would not want to recall all of the
arguments which have been used in this discussion but would rather
address the fundamental issues involved. Since this land is publicly
owned and is located in-the core of the country's capital city, it is
essential that it be developed for the benefit of the public. In this
context, the public can be defined as the citizens of Ottawa as well as
the citizens of the country as a whole. Moreover, we are surely at a
stage of the country's evolution when those directly affected should
have an active role in determining the final use of this historical and
valuable site. We strongly urge that most careful consideration and full
weight be given to the views and options put forward by community
representatives. Community representatives should be consulted and actively
involved not only at this juncture but at the various other stages
through which the plan for Cartier Square will be developed, matured
and finally implemented.
The Glebe Community Association would be most interested in learning
tour viewo on these matters.
H.G. Smith
Fifth Avenue Court Stands Idle President
There seems to be very little construction on Fifth Avenue Court
these days. We understand there may be some difficulties in the financing
or operation of the development. It is hoped the project will be
completed so as not to raise the possibility of a half-finished building
standing empty or there being a negative impact on the shops we all
patronize along the Bank Street side of the project.

Glebe kids are obviously pack rats in the making. One hundred and eighty Mutchmor students signed up for the annual,
very popular Hobby Fair held just before the March Break. Two completely different shows crammed the gym ; one was presented
in the morning, ore in the afternoon. The variety was amazing - buttons, bottlecaps, Smerfs, Micronauts, stuffed
animals, Kub Kars, as well as the more traditional stamps, dolls, coins, rocks, hockey cards and comic books.

METRES FOR MILLIONS
CANSAVE
A small calf-loan program, to which Ottawa Metres
for Millions contributed in 1968, was the starting point
-for an extensive rural community development program
in Korea, organized by the Canadian Save the Children
Fund. Its success and subsequent expansion illustrate the
basic philosophy behind all Save the Children work:
helping children, families and communities in the
developing world to help themselves.
CANS AVE Children provided calves to needy families
in rural Korea. These animals were not only a source of
dairy products, but also served as working animals on
small family plots of land. The progeny were returned to
CANSAVE and provided an ongoing and selfreplenishing
service to other villagers.
This calf-loan project has since evolved into a full rural
development program, which operates alongside the
Korean Government's "Saemaul Undong)) (New
Community Movement), launched in 1971.
The CANSAVE-Korea administrator maintains
contact with village committee and supervises projects.
His field workers act as advisers and catalysts for
development. Fifty per cent of the funds needed are
provided by the villagers themselves.
Results have brought many benefits to the
communities involved. In 1975, for instance, 245
different types of projects were completed in 15 villages.
They included the introduction of greenhouse
cultivation, cattle breeding, road building, roof
improvements, installation of water and electricity,
establishment of credit unions, and the building of
community centres.
CANSAVE's present priority is clustered village
development, which brings together several villages in cooperative
efforts. Emphasis is upon income-generating
projects and the use of available resources in three
specific communities.
In all its programs, the Canadian Save the Children
Fund works toward the day when its assistance will he no
longer necessary.
WUSC
World University Service of Canada (WUSC) uses its
portion of the funds raised by Metres for Millions to fund
the Bandaragama Development Education Training
Centre for the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement in Sri
Lanka.
The primary objective of the movement, according to
founder and president A.T. Ariyaratne, is "the fulfilment
of man. The Sarvodaya appeal is directed towards the
transformation of the individual and through the
individual the family, the village, the nation and the
world." The world Sarvodaya means "the awakening of
all by the mutual sharing of one's thoughts, wealth and
energy."
The Sarvodaya movement is active in over 3,000
villages and towns in Sri Lanka, an island republic of 15
million off the southern tip of India. It promotes
community development in rural areas by linking small
villages with service and training centres that organize the
construction of pre-schools, community kitchens, and
communication systems to aid in self-reliance in
surrounding villages.
Ttaining centres such as the one at Bandaragama
provide three-to six-month courses in carpentry,
handicrafts, sewing, pre-school teaching, leadership
skills, and other locally relevant means of constructive
village development.
Road construction, land-clearing, agricultural
programs and housing development are undertaken
through cooperative efforts that focus on the youth of the
area. Work-camps, or Shramadanas, are organized for
projects that last from two days to one month, and often
bring together 2,000 young people to participate in a
regional project.
CCI
Canadian Crossroads International fosters world-wide
understanding by sending selected volunteers to live and
work with local people in developing countries.
Crossroaders serve for four months, beginning in May
or September, on self-help projects in education, health
care, agriculture, community development, and
construction.
In each participating country, CCI has volunteer
committees composed of indigenous people who select,
monotor and co-ordinate overseas projects, ensuring
their compatibility to the goals and objectives of the
organization.
In turn, Canadian families host volunteers from
developing nations who live and work for four months in
communities across Canada. The progr-m makes up
about 20 per cent of CC1's operation. -
Established in 1968, CCI is unique in that it relies
almost entirely on community-based volunteers to
implement Crossroads' national and overseas
programs, and provides the financial foundation from
which it operates.
CHF
In the early autumn of 1979, hurricanes David and
Frederick smashed into the Dominion Republic,
destroying the year's harvest, levelling homes, washing
away bridges, and cutting off communications.
In their wake the storms left many dead and well over
100,000 homeless.Flood waters brought the danger of
tropical diseases, and devastated farmlands left many
people facing starvation.
As the flow of international relief abated, the Canadian
Hunger Foundation mobilized its forces for more longterm
aid to the stricken island in the Antilles.
As an organization devoted to helping people help
themselves toward self-sufficiency through agricultural
development, CHF has supported many projects in the
Dominican Republic over the last 15 years. Joining with
Dominican agencies and the government, CHF stressed
the need for long-term agricultural planning and
reconstruction, and for preventive measures to help limit
damage that might be caused by future hurricanes.
Twelve projects have already been defined and
sponsored by local non-government agencies, ranging
from installation of low-cost water pumps and
development of seed varieties to training in the care of
small animals and processing of infant foods.
These and other projects will be co-ordinated in a
general program of agricultural reconstruction which
will provide jobs, seed, farm implements and foodprocessing
equipment, fund the construction of homes
and small-scale hydroelectric power generators, and
develop marketing strategies.
All these projects will include training and research so
that they become the basis of a long-term development
toward self-sufficiency in the production of foods
essential to adequate nutrition.
Funds from the 1980 Metres for Millions walk will help
the Canadian Hunger Foundation to carry on this vital
work in the Dominican Republic and other Third World
countries.

CUSO PHOTO
Supporting programs that promote responsible
parenthood and happy family life in Third World
countries is an objective of the Planned Parenthood
Federation of Canada.
As a member of the International Planned Parenthood
Federation (IPPF), the Canadian organization is
dedicated to the concept that a balance between the
population of the world and its natural resources and
productivity is a necessary condition of human
happiness, prosperity and peace.
The PPFC also subscribes to the idea that family
planning is an integral part of the development process,
part of the wider struggle to eliminate poverty and social
injustice.
Funds from the Metres for Millions Walk help the
federation to support community based projects by
Family Planning Associations (FPA) in developing
countries around the world. A current project is to
provide family life education to low-income communities
in Bangkok, Thailand.
In Indonesia, the government has asked the FPA to
work in the outer province where great distances and
poor communications make it difficult to deliver family
planning information.
MATCH
MATCH International Centre will use the funds raised
by Metres for Millions 1980 to support small women's .
projects, such as the leadership and community
development training program in Ecuador led by the
Union of Peasant Women.
This locally-based organization of about 150 peasant
women from seven communities, under president Aida
Cordova, have requested $9,500 in assistance from
MATCH for a project that involves training two
community leaders in each area, buying a Gestetner
machine, producing educational materials (monthly
bulletins and education sheets) to be used by the leaders
in their workshops, and launching other related
activities.
Well-established women's groups have been
functioning independently in these communities for some
time, and it is the objective of the Union of Peasant
Women to work with them, expand their activities, and
include other women's organizations presently operating
in isolation in other parts of the country.
Although rural women in Ecuador have not in the past
been included in the decision-making in their
communities, they are beginning to realize the
importance of their participation in society, not only as
wives and mothers, but also as individuals with
leadership potential, creative ideas, and an equal capacity
for contribution to their communities.
The women themselves, from their very limited
resources, will be contributing nearly $10,000 in funds
and assistance, such as meals, lodging, and help with
travel, as well as their time in the production of
educational materials and attendance at workshops.
MATCH International Centre was established to
provide a means of communication and participation
between women in Canada and women in developing
countries a "switchboard" matching their needs and
resources.
MATCH believes that development, through women
and by women, can have a considerable impact not only
on the wellbeing of the family, but also on the standard of
living of the entire community.
Inter Pares
Inter Pares is a non-profit voluntary agency working
overseas and in Canada to support self-help development
groups, and promote understanding about the causes,
effects, and alleviation of underdevelopment and
poverty.
In the Savar district of Bangladesh Inter Pares is
supporting a project for rural women called Narikendra,
or "woman's place." Education for employment is the
cornerstone of the program, which this year will provide
both much-needed employment skills and a sense of hope
for more than 1,200 Bangladeshi women. These excerpts
from a report by Narikendra staff describe the program
and how it helped changed the life of one young woman.
"Sometime back Amena approached us asking what
could be done for a number of women in her village who
were seeking the same training that she had been given. It
was agreed that if she could organize them and give them
instructions, we would provide the assistance needed.
She now has a core group of 25, plus 50 more women who
are involved on a less regular basis.
"In 1972 Narikendra offered only training in jute
handicraft and sewing. Today its services include
instruction in the manufacture of bamboo and cane
items, woodworking, plumbing, and painting. There is
also a metal shop training women and men, and a shoe
factory with a connected outlet offering training in both
shoemaking and sales.
"As our educational area expands we plan to introduce
more skills that will meet the needs of the local market.
Among them, a blacksmith section where agricultural
tools will be made; a bakery (once a male-dominated
profession); house building; cycle repairs and auto
mechanics; repair and maintenance of machinery in the
pharmaceutical plant; and for some, training in the local
print shop.
"Our efforts have proved that the time is right in the
village for a women's program. With the expansion in
education and the extension of our vocational training
program, we must, if we are to increase our effectiveness,
also increase the number of those reached by our
program. We must reach out to more and more village
women."
Our Cover
Canada's first family, the Schreyers (top

his protegé Tea Huot (lower right) and
the Davey family (page 3) as official
families in this year's Metres for
Millions Walk, May 3, to support
projects helping families in the Third
World.

This is the Davey family. They are walking this year
for Metres for Millions, just as they have in the past,
because they believe in what it stands for. Metres for
Millions is an opportunity for all families in Ottawa to
work alongside families in other parts of the world.
Families everywhere want the same thing: enough
food, a roof over their heads, education for their
children, a chance to participate in life and build a
better future.
Some families are working hard to achieve these
things, but find obstacles in their way, such as lack of
Learner Centre
Unemployed teenagers lounge in the baking sunlight
on the dusty street of a Caribbean town, their restless
frustration concealed under their "cool." An African
woman, a baby wrapped to her back, returns from her
six-mile walk to the well, balancing on her head an
earthen pot, heavy with water for the day's cooking.
Thousands of homeless people, fleeing natural or man-
made disaster, crowd into hastily-established refugee
camps in country after country with pitifully few
resources, less hope, and usually no alternatives.
What do we have in common with these people? How
can a Canadian high school student, housewife, or office
worker understand, let alone support, the daily struggle
for survival and dignity of people thousands of miles
away? Even if we know, even if we care, what can we do
about their pain?
The Ottawa-Hull Learner Centre is an attempt by
people in this area to develop answers to these questions.
Established in 1972, the Centre began as a place where the
public could go for resources and information on
international development. This Resource Centre
continues to operate today with an expanding collection
of printed materials, audio-visuals and simulation games
for use by local groups and individuals interested in
development in the Third World and in Canada.
The Learner Centre has always worked closely with the
school system, providing ways for students and teachers
to deepen their understanding of development issues
thiough a variety of conferences and seminars, as well as
through the use of Centre resources. Community
programming, at first mainly with the English-speaking
population of the area but now increasingly in French as
well, has evolved into broader involvement with various
other sectors of the community.
A common concern with the food we eat led to Learner
Centre participation in the Peoples' Food Commission, a
nationwide inquiry into the system of food production,
processing and distribution whose national report will
become a focus for action when it is published in May.
The Centre's work on food also includes a link with foodrelated
co-operatives in the area, and work with high
school geography teachers looking at food as a global
issue.
education, inappropriate tools, poor health care.
These obstacles may be left over from when the
country was a colony. They may be problems related
to the work of multi-national companies, or to
international trade problems.
We can try to make sure these families do not have
to work alone, first of all by gathering pledges and
walking, or sponsoring someone else. We can also
learn about the work of the agencies involved in this
year's walk the Metres for Millions family by
reading about them on these pages.
Women hold up half the sky, as a Chinese proverb puts
it, and in working with women's groups in a -
developmental context, the Learner Centre is recognizing
this fact. The immense and vital work women do, and the
subordinate roles assigned to them, are in many ways
amazingly similar in Canada and in the Third World, and
the Centre's awareness of these commonalities, as well as
of the differences, is a step towards solidarity and
support.
This is in fact the purpose of all our learning, to work
towards a better, freer world where all human beings may
live free from injustice, want and fear.

YM-YWCA
Uganda is a fertile land-locked country in Africa,
dominant in world news reports until 1979 when the
government was overthrown. Since then world attention
has shifted, but Uganda's problems of reconstruction are
still very real. A tremendous amount of organizational
and financial support is required until Uganda's major
sources of income from the export of coffee, cotton and
copper are renewed.
The development plan of the Uganda YMCA was
based on financial self-sufficiency. One of the vocational
training programs involved agriculturattraining schemes
for young people on two farms. One inasaka, the other
in Buwambo, these farm programs ndt only provided a
training centre for young people, but the crops that were
harvested became part of the food chain and provided
income for the Uganda YMCA's other development
programs.
The YMCA in Ugunda has survived the difficult times,
but not without its toll. The local people's ability to
support these programs financially was reduced to zero
as the economy ground to a halt. Buildings in the urban
areas where vocational training programs were operating
suffered bomb damage during the war, and were looted
of equipment.
In order for the Uganda YMCA to continue its
development program the farms must be revitalized, the
staff and young people given a new opportunity to assist
in the country's reconstruction.
In Buwambo village a clean water supply system is in
the planning stage. The crops, in the growing and
collecting stage now, are sweet potatoes, maize and
beans. Some form of transportation will be required to
market the produce effectively.
In Masaka, the farm scheme is further delayed because
the land is occupied by the army. The YMCA must be
ready to rework the land into a productive unit as soon as
the army vacates the area. This will require equipment,
seeds, and staff training.
It is encouraging to note that the staff of the Uganda
YMCA, all nationals, have the expertise to carry out this
program.
ORT
The Organization for Rehabilitation Through
Training (ORT) is the largest non-government network
for vocational training in the world.
The organization operates some 900 schools in 23
countries. ORT teaches skills, liberates people from
dependence on charity, and thus transforms human
liabilities into human assets. It gives people the skills that
will enable them to be self-supporting and lead lives of
dignity. In each country the occupations taught are in line
with current economic developments to ensure real job
possibilities and a future career for trainees.
The ORT technical assistance programs in developing
nations have been successful in developing human
resources as the basis for a technologically-based
economic sector. This is accomplished through
'conducting preliminary studies and evaluations, setting
goals and action plans, and training people to carry on
the work. Projects cover such fields as transportation,
mining, rural development, urban development,
banking, and public health.
The funds ORT receives through Metres for Millions
support a comprehensive rural development program in
the Gondar Province of Ethiopia. This program aims to
foster self-reliance in the areas of agriculture, education,
water supply and sanitation, and health. We have tried to
achieve these objectives through the introduction of more
efficient farming, the establishment and operation of a
widespread network of primary and some secondary
schools, the introduction of pre-vocational, vocational
and handicraft training, and the building and operation
of health centres.
A revolving credit fund has been established to provide
loans for the purchase of animals, tools, and seed. This
loan activity has been extended to the fight against
erosion by encouraging farmers to take loans to start
terrace cultivation and plant trees.
The education sector covers 22 schools with a total of
62 classrooms and an enrolment of 1,700 students.
Health care programs include curative as well as
preventive treatment, and guidance in public hygiene. We
also succeeded in supplying drinking water to the
schools, which may help to eliminate disease epidemics.
Although we have made good progress in Gondar
Province over the last few years, our program is far from
being completed. Plans for the future include the
construction of more schools and health clinics, and
increased activities in the farming sector.
The program in Ethiopia reflects what the people of
that country are asking for. It is leading towards
improved education, greater economic opportunity,
better health and clinical services to cure and prevent
disease, and higher agricultural productivity. It is a coordinated
effort to bring a measure of social justice to a
population that lacks the technical and financial
resources to improve itself.
Through Metres for Millions, Ottawa is able to help
ensure that the Canadian ORT can continue to support
this important program in Ethiopia.

OBC
It is estimated that half the children under five years
old in Latin America today are suffering from
malnutrition. One factor contributing to this is the
increased use of artificial milk formula for infants by
mothers who are unaware of the requirements for safe
bottle-feeding.
The Overseas Book Centre (OBC) will use part of its
grant from this year's Metres for Millions walk to
support a project to educate Latin American women
about the effects of feeding artificial milk formulas to
their babies. Through a women's group in Costa Rica, the
OBC will fund the rewriting, translation and production
in Spanish of the book Bottle Babies, orignally produced
to counter the same problem in Africa several years ago.
This is the first project to be undertaken by the
Organization of Costa Rican Women, a recently-formed
voluntary group which aims to promote the education of
Costa Rican women and encourage their participation in
issues affecting their lives. Members include women
working in unions, hospital workers, university teachers,
other professionals, housewives and students.
Preliminary studies conducted by the group indicate
that there has been an increase in the use of artificial milk
formula for feeding infants in Latin America, and that
there is little awareness of the motive behind the
promotional activities of the multi-national corporations
manufacturing the formula.
The advertising is aimed at convincing the women the
formula is the only "good" food for their babies under
any conditions. There is little material in Spanish to
counteract this message, and there is also a severe
shortage of nutritionists in Central America.
When completed, Bebes de Biberon will be distributed
regionally to women's organizations, hospital and health
workers, community centres, health centres, trade unions
and church groups. It is hoped that it will be a first step in
solving the appalling problem of malnutrition in Latin
America through encouraging seminars and the
production of more material as well as stimulating
further research on the extent of the problem.
In July, 1979 the dictatorship of Nicaraguan President
Somoza was overthrown. The Somoza family fled with
their millions, leaving the war-torn country in a
shambles.
In the final 10 months of fighting 25,000 Nicaraguans
died, while one-tenth of the population fled the country.
Within Nicaragua 500,000 people are dependent on the
Red Cross for food, and it is predicted that thousands of
young people will die from sickness aggravated by
malnutrition. The economy's agricultural base has been
devastated, and the industrial base has also been hardhit.
Damage to plants and machinery is estimated at $200
million.
Help is now flooding into Nicaragua from agencies
around the world. CUSO's first project there is in one of
the poorer sections of the capital, Managua. Historically,
girls in Managua have had to leave school at age seven or
eight to help in the home while their mothers take jobs to
earn extra money. The aim of CUSO's project is to help
break this cycle of illiteracy by setting up education
centres to provide literacy courses for 120 women. These
women will then train other groups of 20 women each,
ultimately benefitting 2,400 women in the area.
The centres, which will provide immediate
employment for six people, will serve as models to be
followed by other women's groups and will give poor
women a chance to help in the reconstruction of their
country. The Association of Nicaraguan Women,
founded in 1977 to ensure a larger role for women in
solving the social, economic and political problems of
Nicaragua, will organize the centres, and CUSO is
providing $10,000 for the initial six-month period.
Metres For Millions
Launched in 1967 as a Centennial reminder to
Canadians of their country's role in international
development, the Ottawa-Hull Metres for Millions walk
remains the world's oldest, longest and most successful
walk, raising more money per walker than any other
march of its kind.
In the last 13 years the people of the Ottawa-Hull
region have collected over $3 million for the funding of
about 250 development projects around the world.
Priority is given to projects that encourage people to
solve their own problems through local initiative and
financing, so that they have the potential of becoming
self-sufficient and independent of foreign aid.
Closely linked to overseas efforts is the Metres for
Millions public education program, designed to provide
a glimpse at Third World development problems and
encourage efforts to solve them. The program includes a
slide-tape show, a telethon, a poster competition and
other public events.
The theme for this year's walk is "The Family Around
the World," an effort to promote the idea of universal
family values common to people in Canada and the Third
World.
Take your family for a sponsored walk on May 3. It's
your chance to give another family a chance.
Something New -
Walkers with five filled sponsor sheets who finish the
walk will be eligible for prizes.
Walkers who get a high number of sponsors will be
eligible for prizes. Further details will be forthcoming.
Also Walkers who finish the route will receive a
certificate for a free game of bowling at Kent, Capital,
Queensway or Walkley Bowling Lanes.

Maryse Maynard is a portrait artist. House portraits, that is. And

inside . . . to experience the soul of a house in order to describe its
external appearance."
She exhibited several pen and ink houses at The Glebe Artists Show,
Spring 1979. "I overheard someone say- I'd like my house done,too- so I
put a hand on her shoulder and said: I'm the one. That was the beginnine
But not her beginning in art. "After high school and various job
changes, I asked myself -what really excites me . . .brings me happiness?
My answer was drawing."
She returned to the High School of Commerce for a degree in art.
Wilma Pinkus was one of her mentors. "It was a really intense course. To
my surprise I was voted the most progressive student." With the encouragement
of her teachers, she applied to Ottawa U.as a mature student. In 1971
she received a B.A., concentration in Fine Arts.
Many of her house commissions come from people she meets at parties.
Such as the owner of the former Fine house. He wanted a portrait which
portrayed his magnolia trees in bloom. "My work is somewhat seasonal.
Many people want landscape pictured in its prime. Which means I need advance
notice."
"It takes a week of sittings to capture the
house personality- its idiosyncrasies. I start
off with large sketches until I get to know the
house and its proportions. I concentrate first
on architectural details." Each pen and ink
requires 25 to 40 hours to complete.
By occasionally exaggerating some distinctive
feature of a house, Maryse imbues each
with a sense of uniqueness. Her penwork is
energetic so that the portraits are by no
means 'still'; the eye is encouraged to encompass
the total environment. She is adept
at rendering texture and pattern- which contributes
to the 'aliwness' of her works.
Maryse is married to Robert Cram, flautist
with the NAC Orchestra, and has two young
daughters. Their spacious, older home on
Glebe Ave. is rejuvenated by her multiple artistic
endeavors- oil paintings, murals, monoprints
and stained glass works ("a new medium").
She personalized a wall of the master
bedroom with a large mural. "I would like to
do mord environmental art in homes- it's less
expensive and more original than wallpaper."
A marvelous over-sized cat portrait
dominates the sitting room. "I prefer to
paint in oils. . .I like the sheen and to
rework. . .I'm a purist- maybe that's what
comes of being married to a flute player."
She always returns to pen and ink, however:
"I love the beautiful simplicity of it all."
Self-assured and vivacious, Maryse enjoys
describing her work- past, present and future.
"My goal is to get into sculpture when the
children are in school. I feel I have
centuries and centuries to go in art- the
challenge is always there."

Regent Street Shortcut short-circui ted
Last fall, residents of Regent Street and Howick Place met to discuss
ways of reducing traffic on their streets. For cars proceeding North on
Bank Street, a right-hand turn onto Regent and another on Fifth provides
fa short-cut to the Driveway and a route to avoid the often congested
Bank and Fifth intersection. Narrowings and additional signs have been
proposed. The Physical Environment Committee will deal with this item on
Wed. May 14. The meeting takes place at City Hall, in the Aldermen's
Lounge, 2nd floor, at 9:30 a.m.
Residents are invited to attend and to make their views known to the
members of the committee I urge them to do so. For details or copies
of the report, please call Ms. Claire Clément, Secretary of the PEC at
563-3333.
Lyon and Third stop sign needs support
During the Glebe Neighbourhood Study, the Transportation Committee recommended
a stop sign at the intersection of Lyon Street and Third Avenue.
It was approved by Planning Board and referred to the Physical Environment
Branch, whose recommendation is that no action be taken. This item will
be on PEC agenda of Wed. May 14. (See preceeding item).
Parents want longer light at Bronson and Fifth
The Glebe Plan recommends that the green signal for pedestrians crossing
Bronson Avenue at the corner of Fifth be extended by 30 seconds.
Since Bronson Avenue is a Regional road and not under City of Ottawa
jurisdiction, the proposal was referred to the Transportation Department
of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carelton, whose comment is that
"no action should be taken." Many parents in the Dow's Lake area have
expressed serious concern for the safety of their children who must cross
at that corner to get to school.
If you wish to appear before the Trans-
portation Committee when this item is considered, please phone Mrs. Mary
Jo Woollam at 563-2810.
Children's Medical Centre on Monkland nonconforming
Since the mid-50's, a paediatric centre has been operating at the corner
of O'Connor Street and Monkland Avenue, in a residential zone. Because
the doctors' offices were opened before the passing of AZ-64, Ottawa's
comprehensive zoning by-law, they enjoy legal non-conforming rignts to
operate within the residential zone. There is no limit to the number
of doctors allowed to practice from the building, and, at one time, as
many as seven occupied the offices. This created serious parking and
traffic problems for neighbouring streets. The nnn-conforming rights
enjoyed by the occupants specify that there can be only ONE residential
unit above the doctors' offices. During the course of an inspection, it
was found that there are two dwelling units instead of one. The owners
have applied to have the zoning changed in order to legalize the existing
siptation.
For details about this application, please ca]l Jack Ferguson, Planning
Branch at 563-3193. The Planning Branch will make a recommendation
to the Ottawa Planning Board, at which time, any interested residents
are invited to appear and comment on the application.

The French Connection
The youngest student exchange in Canada
enlivened Hopewell classes earlier this
Thirty French students, 13 and 14 yr.
olds, from Coulommiers, outside of Paris,
enjoyed a fortnight of Canadian living
with their Ottawa hosts who visited France
last year.
Any Hopewell student who joins the
extra-curricular club Espoire is eligible
to participate in the Exchange. The students
raise the money for the trip through their
own efforts. Teachers involved in the successful
exchange say they expect the proc'ram
to continue for a number of years.

between? Why would anyone want to go to
church every week?
Well, quite frankly because there's a lot more to
life than getting married and buried. Like everyday
problems, for example. We all have them.
But it's a lot easier when we don't have to face
them alone. Especially when you're in touch with
a personal God who really cares about you.
Why not visit us this Sunday and find out for

Glebe Tenants
Association
Filing a complaint
By Debby Edwards
Having trouble getting your landlord to
make repairs? Telephone your complaint to
the Property Standards Division at the City
of Ottawa. The number is 563-3232. Ask to
speak to the Property Standards Officer responsible
for your area. At present, complaints
from the Glebe are handled by Mr. F.
MacMillan. Explain the problem to the Officer
and ask for an inspection of the dwelling.
Try to set a definite date and time for this
inspection during the conversation. Follow
up the telephone call with a letter to the
Property Standards Officer and seffd a copy
to Mr. J. Mooreman, Chief of the Property
Standards Division.
From this point onwards current legislation
limits the tenant's role to following-up on
the complaint and ensuring that the City is
investigating the violation. At several stages
in the procedure the City may decide that the
landlord need not make any repairs. When your
complaint is repealed, the City is not
obliged to let you know. It's important to
keep checking up.
After a complaint is filed:
Property Standards Officer inspects the
premise.
If the premise does not conform to City
by-laws, the Officer issues a Notice of
Violation to the property owner. This
Notice of Violation sets a date for the
owner to meet with the Property Standards
Officer.
At the hearing the property owner states
his case, attempting to justify the alleged
violation.
4A.The Property Standards Officer may accept
the arguments of the owner and the complaint
is dropped OR
4B.The Officer may conclude Chat repairs are
necessary and issue an order requiring the
owner to conform to the by-laws within 90
days,.
5A.Upon receipt of the Order the owner may
carry out the repairs OR
5B.The owner may appeal the Order to the
Property Standards Committee. This appeal
must be made within 14 days after service
of the order.
6. The Property Standards Committee sets a
hearing date. The date cannot be more
than 30 days from the date of receipt of
the owners notice to appeal. The Property
Standards Committee is a group of three
rate-payers who receive "payment of
honoraria at the rate of $50.00 for each
meeting attended".
7A.The Committee may quash the order and the
complaint is dropped OR
7B.The Committee may confirm the order.
8. From receipt of the Committee's order, the
owner has 90 days to carry out the repairs.
If you're not successful in your dealings
with the City, try not paying your rent.
Under the Landlord and Tenant Act you can
withhold rent if you have notified the landlord
(in writing) of necessary repairs and
they are not made.
For more information on Property Standards
call the Glebe Tenant Association at 234-2425
or come to the next meeting to be held Thurs.
April 24, 7:30 p.m., at the Glebe Community
Centre.
Local Scouting groups to plant trees
Three million trees will be planted in Canada this year by Scouts
participating in the "Trees for Canada" project; 50,000 in the
National Capital Region alone.
Jim Coode, popular member of the Ottawa Rough Riders and Chairman
of the Trees for Canada project for the National Capital Region Scout
Council, announced today that 4,000 Scouts will participate in the
"Trees for Canada" project on Saturday, May 10.
Mr. Coode, a former Scout himself, stated that the "Trees for
Canada" project is designed to give all members of Scouting the
opportunity to demonstrate, through action, their concern for
Canada.
Mr. Coode pointed out that "Trees for Canada" is also a fundraising
project for the Council. The funds raised will be used to
help further Scouting in the groups within the community, to develop
local camps and meet other local needs. A small portion of the money
raised will be used to support Operation Amigo - an international program
of Canadian Scouting designed to help Third World countries adapt
Scouting to meet their needs.
Local Beavers, Cubs and Scouts will be canvassing the neighbourhood
soon. Each boy participating will be expected to plant 15 trees. The
boys will plant the trees May 10 at a NCC location near Black Creek off
Merivale Road.

Only a man away
June is 25; she has a 11 year old child. Her husband is an alcoholic
and used to subject her to beatings and emotional abuse. Her
life was in danger, so she and the child left and are now living on
their own.
Mary is 38; she has six children ranging in age from 3 to 14 years
of age. She has devoted the majority of her adult years to homemaking
and child-rearing in the suburbs. Over the years, her husband has become
more and more abusive. She finally decided that the situation
was intolerable and now she and the children live alone.
Despite their former financial position, these women are now
single parents and are forced, at least for now, to live on welfare.
They are like thousands of other women across Canada, who must somehow
manage to live below the poverty line.
Forty-four per cent of mother-led families live below the poverty
line. If a single-parent mother must rely on a former husband or
welfare, she will almost certainly be destitute. If she works, she is
bound to be underpaid and discriminated against.
In Ontario, there are two Welfare Programs:
Short term emergency welfare, which is administered by local
municipality. Payments vary from region to region.
Long term "Family Benefit Assistance" (FBA) which is provincially
administered. This is often called Mother's Allowance.
In order to receive Welfare or Mother's Allowance, you must apply
and prove that you are destitute. Yop_must sign a waiver which allows
the government to check bank accounts, credit ratings, etc. to make
sure that you are telling the truth.
Once you find yourself in the situation of being on Welfare, it is
hard to change your lot, especially now that the job market is
shrinking.
You find yourself living in isolation. You are expected to raise
your children with not enough money and virtually no support or help.
You are made to feel guilty because you re forced to live on
Welfare.
This is not an unusual situation. Any woman can easily find herself
in this position; often all of us are only One Man Away from Welfare.

McElroy's Shoes
Farewell to personal service
By B. J. R. Silberman
McElroy's Shoes closed its doors to Glebe
footwear seekers for the last time Mar. 20 after
70 years of business.
The store first opened in 1917 by J.W. McElroy
rapidly became a popular local shopping place.
As the store grew up with the decades, shoes of
every fad and whim appeared in its large, bright
windows.
Claude Kealey, son of former owner, Carroll
Kealey, says his father bought McElroy's Shoes
in 1943 when McElroy passed away. Kealey says
his father first began working in the shop in
1918 as a clerk. In the forties, after his father
had taken over the business, Kealey, then 11, be-

it until it is completely coated with the fat. Stir in 1 cup of the
simmering stock or broth and cook the rice until the stock is absorbed.
Continue to add the remaining stock by cupfuls, letting each addition be
absorbed before adding more, until the rice is tender. With a fork fluff
the rice and toss it with 2 tablespoons butter, softened and cut into
bits, and 11 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Venice is a city with a rich and inventive cuisine, including an
infinite variety of fish dishes. And of course there is polenta, made
from yellow or white cornmeal which can be prepared in dozens of ways
and frequently replaces bread in Ventian homes. Other traditional Ven-
-etiandishes include fegato alla veneziana (calf's liver with onion)
and scampi all'olio e limone (shrimp with oil and lemon dressing)
Scampi all' Olio e Limone
In a saucepan combine 1 pound shrimp, rinsed, and cold salted water
to cover and bring the water to a boil over moderately high heat. Drain
the shrimp and let them cool for 5 minutes. Shell the shrimp and put
them in a bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the juice of A lemon
and 1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil, or to taste, season the dressing with
salt, pepper and pour it over the shrimp while they are warm. Serves
4 as a first course.
Fagato a la Veneziana (Liver with Onions)
In a skillet sweat 2 onions, thinly sliced, in 1 cup olive oil and
2 tablespoons butter, covered with a buttered round of wax paper and the
lid, over low heat for 5 minutes, or until they are soft but not coloured.
Increase the heat to high and add 1 pound calf's liver, cut into thin
strips, and 3 tablespoons each of chicken broth or beef broth and redwine
vinegar. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or
until the liver is browned on the outside but still pink within. Add
1 teaspoon minced parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the liver
with polenta. Serves 4
