If the city is going into the (strange) business of expropriating 

parkland for low rental housing, why pick on Lakeview Terrace Park? 

Why not choose Capital Park which at least can bear the tricycle 

traffic? Unlike busy Bronson Ave. 

Lakeview Terrace has never reached its potential as a park. Many 

people still think it's private property. It's not a very interesting 

park for children and the front part is seldom used. Older children 

occasionally practice basketball in the tennis court but a hub of 

actIvity the park isn't. 

Lakeview Terrace is a better location for an apartment for senior 

citizens or single students than either low rental housing for young 

families or even a park. Planning Board should consider other options 

before taking action. 

An elegant solution would be to barter the land off to the NCC in 

exchange for two Tot Lot locations: one in the northeast near Clemow 

and the other beyond tulip territory near the Madawaska end of Dow's 

Lake. The NCC would then have an adult park if they wished and Glebe 

children would have the use of choice neighbourhood parkland.

No Loitering! 

If Fifth Avenue Court is a good idea, then 

enclosing it to extend its use from three or 

four months a yeEr to twelve months, is merely 

an extension of a good idea. 

In specific reply to Alderman MacKinnon's 

column, only one existing maple tree will be 

lost, and this will be replaced by landscaping 

more suited to an indoor environment. The 

extensive skylights are to preserve the original 

feeling. 

What will be attractive, open space, will 

not become a hang-out for loiterers and gangs of 

youngsters, due to constant supervision and the 

natural disincentive created by the restaurant 

having a cafe in the courtyard. 

An enclosure does not drastically change the 

concept, it merely refines and extends it. It 

will still be a unicue and exciting shopping 

area, but now with twelve month's comfort.

his past opinions,yawn?

Open Letter to 

Planning Board 

I would like to thank the hard-working members 

of the Ottawa Planning Board. Their stamina, 

insight and patience is resulting in a useful 

and helpful Neighbourhood Plan. 

In this spirit and with apologies, I ask that 

they re-consider the proposals that affect the 

Bank St. commercial area. As the proposals for 

Bank St. read now, I think our shopping area 

could easily become a series of five-storey 

buildings with a 60-foot strip of parking lots 

behind.Creation of such parking lots would necessitate 

the loss of a large number of Glebe households 

in my view. 

I think the result of large-scale expansion 

will be the destruction of our village-type shopping 

area.This shopping area would serve a much 

larger part of the city and I think it would create 

a large amount of traffic with accompanying 

noise, congestion and danger. 

Therefore I would ask that the Bank St. area 

have a thirty-five foot height limit and that no 

destruction of Glebe homes for parking be allowed.Thank 

you.

It was with some distress 

that I read the

(Sept. GLEBE REPORT) 

taking offense that her

when it had been determined 

that she would be 

best able to inform 

people seeking information. 

We were, of course, 

aware that Pat Kealey 

was Chairman of the 

Committee that proposed 

the designation of "Major 

Collector roads". I, 

along with many others 

felt strongly that this 

particular recommendation 

of that committee 

could not be endorsed. 

It was Pat Kealey's 

refusal to support our 

concerns that made necessary 

direct communication 

with Planning Board 

members.

the fact that we 

are part of the larger

Lakeview Terrace Park 

A remarkable event took place at the Glebe Community 

Centre the evening of September 25th and 

as many as 150 residents of the Glebe witnessed 

it. Planning Board held the first of its wrapup 

meetings on the Glebe Development Plan:among 

the topics for which resident delegations were 

received was the matter of Lakeview Terrace 

Park. Simply, the people who live in this 

part of the Glebe wish to maintain the area 

bounded by Bronson Ave. and Lakeview Terrace 

as a park - an open space where young children 

can play in safety, senior citizens can relax 

in relative tranquility, and near-by homeowners 

and rentors can rest assured that the 

neighbourhood they moved into will continue 

to afford them with some of the non-monetary 

amenities of city living which attracted them 

to our community in the first place. Despite 

over an hour and a half of sincere and concerned 

representation on the part of the Glebe 

citizens towards this goal, Planning Board 

voted to make Lakeview Terrace Park available 

for housing development. 

Of course events like this occur in the 

theatre of municipal politics quite frequently: 

there is nothing particularly remarkable about 

the process itself of imposing a development 

strategy, or part of a development strategy 

upon and against the wishes of a community. What 

is remarkable, however, is the fact that this 

community, which has always prided itself on 

the abundance and nature of its open-green 

spaces, is now being forced by City Hall to 

surrender those spaces to the interests of 

additional housing units. It was quite clear 

from the outset that the main thrust of the 

Glebe Development Plan was to facilitate and 

encourage a highter population density in our 

community, and now its fowls have started 

coming home to roost. 

Some would argue that an increase in the 

availability of housing stock in our community 

will drive land values up; others would argue 

that it will drive land values down, yet no 

one has yet tried to determine the cost such a 

course of action will have upon the character 

of our community. When we start suffering the 

expropriation of our parklands in order to 

accomodate more people into this community we 

ought to be perfectly clear on the price at 

which we are prepared to let that property go. 

Perhaps, a fair price, considering the nature of 

the process which achieves this kind of transaction, 

would be the simple formula: one vote 

per square inch:

The First Avenue School, Renovation or Demolition 

By Halina Jeletzky 

The First Avenue Public School is the subject of many meetings and will 

continue to be the topic of discussion for the ensuing months. On September 

24th the First Avenue Home and School Association met. One topic 

on the agenda was the preparation of a submission to the Ottawa Board of 

Education Property Committee regarding the rebuilding or renovating of 

the school. 

At the meeting, the Association members were made aware of a report 

prepared by the OBE which identified two options, each costing the same 

amount of money. The options are: (1) renovation of the existing school, 

including its modernization and the shifting of the 3rd floor gym to a 

new school. The Chairman of the Association, Mr. Rick Sheffer, also informed 

the association members that the "school is on the priority list" 

of the OBE. 

Also discussed was the age of the school and the fact that some of its 

shortcomings should be corrected either by rebuilding or renovation. 

Some of these include the inconvenient location of the library and gym 

on the third floor and the old electrical and heating systems which must 

be replaced from time to time in order to ensure a safe and efficient 

operation of the school. 

Those interested in this topic may contact Rick Sheffer, Chairman of 

the Home and School Association.

An Opinion of the First Avenue Public School from a Glebe Resident 

First Avenue School is due for renovation or demolition The cost 

being the same I believe that renovation is the better alternative. 

The reasons for this opinion are as follows. 

Historically, the First Avenue PS is a Glebe landmark. It was constructed 

in 1898 just as the Glebe community was forming. Thus, it is 

similar in historical character to the neighbourhood around it. The 

method of accenting the entrance, the windows, the cornice with ornate

alter the original school greatly. The older school was encased within 

the new additions.

from 1914-18. He designed the original Ottawa Public Library, Osgoode 

Public School, the structure once standing at 305 Metcalfe Street, Mutchmor 

Public School and others. 

Public School Architecture is becoming rare. Of the numerous Public 

Schools constructed in Ottawa from 1867 to 1900 not many remain. George 

Street, Kent Street, the original Elgin Street and original Cambridge 

Public Schools, to name only a few, no longer exist. Incidentally the 

same is true of many towns around Ottawa. 

Finally, there are several architects in Ottawa of proven ability in 

the recycling of large scale heritage buildings. Two examples of the 

work being done by such individuals are the restoration projects carried 

out on the Billings Estate and the Académie de-la-Salle. 

For these reasons, the option of renovation is without doubt the 

better alternative Therewould be double the benefit in that the heritage 

would be retained while the interior would be modernized and all of this 

at the same price as it would cost to demolish and replace the original 

school. The school would also serve the Glebe community more efficiently 

and at the same time continue to enhance the attractiveness of the 

neighbourhood.

IN WITH THE NEW 

Glashan Officially Open 


The Glebe Advisory Committee will meet Thurs. 

Oct. 25, 1979 at 8 p.m. 

Recent Vietnamese arrivals in Special English class. 

Industrial Arts class offers fine new equipment. 

Principal Bob Goodfellow and guests enjoyed 

a"rare occasion" Thurs. Oct. 11 -- the opening 

of a new school. While many area residents 

had a chance to tour Glashan October 4 at the 

Open House for parents, the formal event took 

place at 7:30, Thursday, October 12. Max Van 

Loon was the speaker and the Central Choir of 

the Board of Education entertained. A Grand 

Tour of the school followed. 

Mr. Goodfellow says the students are adjusting 

well to the new school. The cut-down 

in noise is particularly welcome and results 

in a much more relaxed atmosphere he said. 

What is a school without books? 

The library is not usually this quiet. 

A typical classroom with typical hard-working students. 

School Notes 

Corpus Christi P.S. welcomed 35 new students 

this Fall. St. Patrick School on Nepean St. 

closed last year and Corpus Christi is happy to 

welcome some of its former population. 

Kids at Hopewell P.S. had some extra camping 

fun this year. All classes went on three-day 

camping trips to Camp Cameron near Perth. Everyone 

survived including teachers.

1.11 

(Lahey's firm has renovated and restored several 

buildings on Somerset Street West between Bank 

and O'Connor.) 

I received several calls from Glebe residents 

who deplored the loss of the laundromat. In 

response to my letter expressing this concern, 

Mr. Lahey told me on October 1st that he has 

reconsidered the removal of the laundromat and 

that it is likely that he will keep an area for 

a coin wash, perhaps with a small eating area 

where coffee and sandwiches would be available. 

In a neighbourhood where a high percentage 

of residents are renters, it would be a shame 

to lose a facility as well-used and as essential 

as the laundromat. 

Rezoning Requested on Fifth Avenue update on 101-107 Fifth Avenue 

A lawyer practicing from his home at 88 Fifth Avenue, just east of 

Bank, has requested a change of zoning from R-4 to R4-X to enable him 

to pursue a "home occupation" with an additional employee. 

The applicant, who owns and resides at 88 Fifth, states the following 

reasons for his application: 

He is already operating a law office from his home and the existing 

by-law prevents him from hiring any employees and from having more than 

one client on the premises at the same time. 

He "does not feel that the rezoning of this property will adversely 

affect the residential nature of the neighbourhood", in view of the 

Fifth Avenue Court construction directly across the street. 

3."The building itself is well-suited to commercial use, as each floor 

has two means of access and egress." 

It is customary, when a zoning change of this nature is requested, to 

circulate the application to various technical agencies as well as to 

the Ward Alderman. 

I am opposed to the granting of this application because: 

1. It constitutes a spot-rezoning while the proposals of the Glebe 

Neighbourhood Study are still under consideration by the Ottawa Planning 

Board. 

2.It is contrary to the recommendations of the Land Use Committee of the 

Glebe Study that this area should remain residential and that there 

should be no "up-zoning". 

The expansion of the law office, even though the applicant resides on 

the premises, would in fact encroach upon the residential area. 

The granting of this type of application constitutes a dangerous precedent, 

opening the door for expansion of other home occupations, Already, 

many neighbours have objected to the large sign on the veranda. 

The property at 88 Fifth Avenue is a fine home and should be used as 

such.Legal firms belong in commercial office space. 

5.There is very limited parking available in the applicant's driveway 

and expansion of the law office would aggravate an already congested 

area 

6. There is ample commercial space in the Glebe and downtown Ottawa. I 

see no valid reason (except a savings for the applicant!) to allow expansion 

in a fine home located in a residential area. 

If you Wish to appear in person to make a presentation you may do so 

at the Ottawa Planning Board Meeting at which it will be discussed. The 

tentative date is Tuesday, October 17 at 9:30 a.m. For confirmation 

call Mr. Ken Brown at 563-3333. 

At Last, Demolition of an Eyesore 

For almost 2 years, the apartment building at the northeast corner of 

Bank and Pretoria has been condemned and boarded-up. In May 1978, the 

City's Property Standards Branch issued an order to repair or demolish 

the building. As the owners were then in the process of consolidating 

their plans for the site, they requested a delay. 

However, after last August's fire, the building has become a hazard. 

On September 5th, 1979, "the owner was ordered to demolish the building 

and remove all of the resultant debris by September 28, 1979. If the 

owner fails to take action by September 28, 1979, we will be in a position 

to carry out the work at his expense." (Excerpt from File: CD-48O5- 

183-74, memo from R. Bailey, Commissioner of Community Development, 

dated September 13, 1979, to Ald. M. Mackinnon) 

Ed. Note: 

See GCA article as well. 

A few months ago, this building of residential 

units was sold to a new owner who wished 

to use it as a combined commercial residential 

location. Although the commercial zoning 

allowed the change, parking requirements for 

fifteen (15) cars could not be met. The owner 

could only provide five (5) spaces and requested 

a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment. 

After four (4) adjournments request- 

ed by the applicant's solicitor, and strong 

opposition from Planning Branch and area resi- 

dents, the application was formally withdrawn 

on September 20, 1979. The matter has now been 

referred to the City's Legal Branch. 

Ottawa South 

More Shops? 

A proposal has been submitted by the owners 

and operators of WIZARDS, a restaurant recently 

opened on Bank Street west, between Aylmer and 

Euclid. The plans include an addition to the 

southern part of the old gas station (31' x 31') 

and an addition to the northern part of Wizards, 

a 29' x 29' banquet room. The gas station 

would house 3 to 5 shops, including a jean 

store and a record store. As the two existing 

buildings are built too close to the lot line 

by 1979 standards, a minor variance has been 

requested to allow the two additions to be 

built in the same line instead of 12 feet from 

the lot line as required by city by-laws. 

Many questions remain unanswered, such as the 

use of two laneways running perpendicular and 

parallel to the property, the residential 

zoning of the patio located behind Wizards, the 

parking requirements, etc. There is also 

strong opposition from area residents to any 

expansion of Wizards and to future uses which 

would aggravate traffic problems in an already 

congested area. 

The majority of these problems, as well as 

noise pollution, stem from an undesirable concentration 

of entertainment uses (Elaine's Pub, 

El Dorado Disco, Patty's Pub) within a single 

block of Bank Street. 

Both the Planning Branch and objecting residents 

will ask the Committee of Adjustment to 

defer the application until all details are 

ironed out. 

"GLEBE CENTRAL": RENOVATIONS ON BANK STREET 

As was mentioned in the September 15, 1979, GLEBE REPORT, the firm of 

Brian Lahey and Associates has recently purchased the Bank Street buildings 

containing the Book Bazaar, the Glebe drugstore and the laundromat.

Membership 1980 

By Joy Heft 

We just managed to squeak a notice of the 

1980 membership blitz into the last issue of the 

Glebe Report. Unfortunately, the heading ended 

with a question mark instead of the intended 

exclamation. By now there should be no question 

about it As of October 1, block reps 

began swarming the streets of the Glebe. If 

you haven't been buzzed yet, you will be soon. 

"Why so early?" you may wonder. We prefer 

to have our block reps canvass during pleasant, 

fall weather rather than expose them to frigid 

January temperatures. However, memberships 

purchased now are valid for the 1980 calendar 

year. 

A strong membership is vital to the Association 

if it is to represent the community in a 

credible way in its dealings with City Hall and 

the O.M.B. In 1979 we recruited 1800 members 

living in 1200 households. We are confident 

the 1980 results will be as gratifying. 

While the "block rep" system improves each 

year, there are always a few streets in each 

area where no rep is available. If you have a 

bit of spare time and are willing to canvass in 

your area, please contact the appropriate director. 

(see list of area directors) 

Prohibitive mailing costs prevent us from 

sending frequent newsletters to our members. 

We rely on this column to keep you informed, 

and invite you to attend the regular monthly 

meeting of the G.C.A. executive held at the 

Community Centre the fourth Tuesday of each 

month at 7:30 p.m.

Bob Monaghan, Chairman 

Neighbourhood Planning Committee 

,. 

The following is the current status of a number of zoning infractions: 

It seems like only yesterday that the first city inspection was carried 

out on the illegal conversion of the 17 - 19 Rupert Street dwelling. 

Bût in fact, it was almost four years ago-December 1975. The list of 

legal delays which Gunter Heinze has used to avoid the Prohibition 

Order issued.on August 10, 1977 leaves me with a deep sense of frustration,especially 

since almost all of these legal manoeuvres have been 

adjournments rather than hearings. 

The last action was the sudden withdrawal by Mr. Heinze's lawyer from 

the appeal scheduled to be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board on 

July 18, 1979. In a September 25, 1979 letter, the Deputy City Solicitor, 

Frank C. Askwith, stated that "...contempt proceedings in this 

matter are properly within the jurisdiction of the Crown Attorney 

for the district of Ottawa-Carleton. We have requested the Crown Attorney 

to commence criminal contempt of court proceedings against Mr. Heinze 

and have provided the Senior Assistant Crown Attorney, Mr. Mac Lindsay, 

with certain information to allow him to take the necessary proceedings". 

A four door row located at 101-107 Fourth Avenue between the Post 

Office and Bank Street which had been used for residential purposes is 

now operating as a combination of commercial and residential. Fifteen 

parking spaces are required but only five are presently available. 

The new owner, B. Levine, applied for a minor variance to allow a 

reduction in parking spaces from fifteen to five. 

Both the City's Planning Board and the Glebe Community Association 

opposed this application since we felt it was not minor but major in 

nature due to the existing serious parking problem and congestion at 

this location. Mr. Levine's application was adjourned at the applicant's 

request on June 21, July 5, August 2, and September 6. On 

September 20, 1979 the owner's lawyer withdrew the application. Now 

the City is to inspect the site during the first week of October, then 

write a registered letter to the owner before proceeding with any 

action. It is very unfortunate that first, this stalling tactic which 

makes a mockery of our by-laws was allowed and second, the City didn't 

have enough foresight to have previously inspected this property. 

Almost a year ago, the apartment at Bank and Pretoria was condemned 

and the owners ordered to demolish the building. Through legal manoeuvres, 

no action was taken until the building burned late this summer.

Weaver's Show 

by Ann Anderson 

All Glebe residents are invited to come see a 100 year old sheep at 

the 'Sheep to Shawl' Exhibition and Sale organized by the Ottawa Valley 

Weavers Guild at the Glebe Community Centre November 3 and 4, 1979. 

Pamela Lawes of Holmwood Ave., this year's President of the 0.V.W.G., 

extends the invitation. 

Guild members feel the beautiful architectural proportions of the 

Community Centre's interior will provide a warm and harmonious setting 

for their weaving and allow plenty of space for demonstrations of their 

craft. Visitors can join in too. 

The term 'Sheep to Shawl' means that the sheeps' raw fleece will be 

turned into a garment in one day,-in an on-going process by nimble fingered 

Guild members carding, spinning and weaving the wool into a garment. 

The result, a poncho, will be raffled off, along with placemats 

and a fibre basket. 

Try It Out Corner 

A dyeing exhibit will show how fibres can take on soft or brilliant 

hues from vegetable or chemical dyes. Everyone is welcome to try their 

hands on the looms and spinning wheels, or take part in inkle loom or 

ceinture fleche demonstrations in the "Try it out" corner. 

At the Weaver's Co-operative' booth and the 17 individual 

weavers' booths woven goods of all kinds are for sale, including 

wallhangings, blankets, rugs, table linen, hats, scarves, jackets, ponchos 

and more. You'll have a chance to view the handwoven garments on 

professional models in a fashion show at 2 p.m. on both days, and chat 

to Guild members about everything you ever wanted to know about spinning 

and weaving.

At the Exhibition 

Geraldine Classen working at the loom 

The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers from Carleton Place will have 

a booth presided over by a sheep over 100 years old, belonging to a now 

extinct breed. They will be happy to talk to you about the quality and 

uses of different types of wool from the various breeds of sheep raised 

in Canada. 

A Glebe resident with her own individual booth is Geraldine Classen 

of Clemow Avenue, whose wall hangings and clothing from handspun and 

naturally dyed wool will be familiar to visitors to past Glebe Craft 

Fairs or to her show of hangings at the Old Vic Pine and Antiques Gallery 

last year. This year Geraldine has developped some new clothing designs, 

carried out in weaving and crochet, which she'll be showing along with 

her delicately tinted wall hangings of the changing seasons. 

Another member, of our community, Gillian Logan of Fifth Avenue enjoys 

working with beautiful fibre rich in colour and lustre, which she weaves 

into fine cloth. Gillian will display a delicate line of shawls, 

scarves, material, sweater jackets and table linen. 

In previous years Gillian has shown her work at the Christmas Craft 

Fairs at Lansdowne Park and Nepean Sportsplex. 

Ann Anderson of Powell Avenue is another Glebe resident who enjoys 

weaving and will be present. She uses wool from the Carleton Wool 

Growers Co-operative for making fleece rugs and for trimming jackets. 

So for an in depth look at the ancient craft of cloth making, bring 

the family along to the Glebe Community Centre on November 3rd and 4th. 

P.S. The Fant_rx will pe,open for refreshments.

A good selection of 3 and 4 Season Sleeping Bags 

and of course 

A complete selection of Cross Country Skis, Boots, Clothing and Accessories. 

This includes the best selection of skis in town. 

It's coming again - that six months of poor canoeing or good skiing depending on your attitude towards winter. 

Trailhead is an outdoor specialty shop in Ottawa's west end that is a mecca from April to October for canoeists 

equipping themselves or joining an expedition heading off for rivers as far away as the Nahanni or Coppermine in 

the N.W.T. 

From November to April there are a lot of sad faces and restless bodies wandering in and out of the shop asking, 

"How long till breakup?" One of the best ways to pass the time and enjoy the season is cross-country ski touring 

and winter camping. Trailhead runs a full retail and rental program geared toward the winter camper and off track 

skier. They can accommodate groups of up to 30 with cross-country skis, boots, poles, winter sleeping bags, enfolite 

pads, packs, polka sleds, tents, stoves and snowshoes. The staff can also advise the individual or group about 

where to go, safety procedures, proper clothing or provide a guide and instructor to go along with you on your 

first trip. 

For the first time this season Trailhead is also offering season long rentals on an excellent wood ski package 

(Splitkein skis, Adidas boots, Villum bindings, Tonkin poles - Value retail $139.00 Season rental $75.00 option to 

buy in April additional $50.00) or fibreglass ski package (Splitkein 1600 Glider, LT Alfa Boot, Troll binding, Tonkin 

Moon pole - Retail value $179.00 Season rental $90.00 option to buy in April additional $55.00). 

This makes for an interesting way to buy your skis, yet be sure you like them before you make a major investment. 

So don't let the upcoming poor canoeing season get.you down. Turn it into a good ski season with a little help 

from your friends.

Glebe Fish to Open 

Fish Restaurant 

For almost two years, the Glebe Fish Store 

has been offering this city a variety of fresh 

and frozen fish and seafood, as well as one of 

the biggest selections of smoked fish in Ottawa. 

Wayne Duford and Karen Von Merveldt offer a 

friendly and helpful service - always willing 

to offer cooking suggestions, or demonstrate 

the joys of a live lobster to a delighted 

youngster. 

"The secret to fish as an economical meal is 

to buy specials and the less costly items: cod, 

turbot and mackerel, etc. The decline in the 

dollar has greatly escalated the price of 

shrimp, oysters and other seafood," says Wayne. 

By mid-November, Glebe Fish will be expanding 

from the sale to the serving of fish. 

Karen and Wayne are opening a restaurant above 

their store: its catchy name is Flippers: The 

restaurant will be moderately priced, with 

simple decor and a liquor licence. We wish 

them good luck, and look forward to sampling 

their wares.

Radioactive Confusion 

The Atomic Energy Control Board regulates the amount of radioactive 

material allowed in ionization smoke detectors. These regulations permit, 

for home use, up to 1 millirem of americium (half life 458 years) 

at 5 centimeters and for industrial detectors, 20 microcuries. 

To understand the safety of these levels it is necessary to know the 

basic units of measurement for atomic radiation: 

Rem - The unit of roentgen equivalent for man. One rem of any 

given radiation is the quantity that causes, when absorbed 

by man, an effect equivalent to the absorption of one 

roentgen. 

So what is a roentgen? 

IS YOUR CHIMNEY A SLEEPING FIRE BOMB? 

Burning wood and solid fuels in a fireplace or fumace deposits creosote 

and soot in the flue which can explode into a roaring fire. In 1977 

North Americans had 40,000 chimney fires. Chimneys should be 

cleaned yearly. A smoking fireplace is a an early warning.

Political Historian Versed 

in Pracatical Politics 


by 

Barbara Riley 

"Being involved in practical politics is a great corrective to being 

a university professor, especially if your subject is political history." 

Glebe resident Richard Clippingdale knows whereof he speaks. He has been 

active in the Progressive Conservative party at least as long as he 

has been pursuing research in Canadian political history - first as an 

undergraduate at the University of Toronto and for the past dozen years 

as a professor of history at Carleton University. 

He credits his dual interests with giving him a better perspective on 

politicians, past and present, and their "demanding, insecure, almost 

irrational life." 

Clippingdale has experienced the hard realities of 

political life at first hand: as a campaign worker in several hard-fought 

elections for P.C. candidates, as a delegate to provincial and national 

party conventions, as President of the Ottawa Centre P.C. riding association, 

and as a defeated candidate for his party's nomination in that 

riding. 

Laurier, His Life and World 

Paradoxically he has recently written a book about Liberal prime minister 

Sir Wilfred Laurier. (LAURIER, HIS LIFE AND WORLD, published by 

McGraw -Hill Ryerson, 1979) 

"I agreed to write the book in 30 seconds. Kaye Lamb, former Dominion

The House of Speculative Fiction 

By Michael Bussière 

Science-fiction and fantasy lovers of Ottawa at last have a haven. 

The House of Speculative Fiction opened this summer just east of Bank St. 

on Fourth Avenue. Owner-operator Jim Gallagher, 25, defines speculative 

fiction as being a "genre of fiction where fantasy and science-fiction 

are sub-genres - fiction that examines any surreal subject matter." 

The store's clientele ranges in age from 10 to 80, with the majority of 

customers coming from the universities.

Elizabeth Mountford: 

At Home with Bold, Colourful Art 

In Canada for six years now, Elizabeth Mountford lives and paints in 

a small, renovated house on Fourth Avenue which reflects her educated 

sensitivity to design and colour - a house choc-a-bloc with assertive, 

arresting canvasses. 

Elizabeth was born in Birmingham, England in 1945. She studied in 

London at the renowned St. Martins School of Art (Diploma in Art and 

Design, 1966) and afterwards at London University Institute of Education 

(Art Teachers Certificate, 1967). Her career has taken her from freelance 

and lecturing in England to the same mix of artist-educator in 

the U.S. and Canada. Now associated with the Visual Arts Dept. of 

Algonquin College, she teaches Colour Theory and Fundamentals of Design. 

"I didn't actually start to paint until 1970 when I moved to New York': 

Elizabeth explained. From the beginning her medium was acrylic. Her 

style has evolved from flat blocks of colour with a predominance of hard 

edge to an intriguing combination of hard edge contrasted with soft 

shapes. Her colour combinations are imaginative, expressive, assured - 

and she uses colour to create perspective as seen in the "Old Woman with 

Pelican" from the spring '79 show of Glebe Artists. 

Her subjects are generally people in everyday settings, like the 

spontaneous "Mr. Frachette with Duck", inspired by a local news item 

about a duck who never made it south, "Sailor in a Bar" with a macaw on 

his shoulder, and her unusual "Self Portrait" with the artist's back to 

the viewer - subjects which are not psychological studies so much as 

studies in design and colour. 

Her paintings have won her acclaim and awards in shows here and New 

York. She recently exhibited in the popular and prestigious group show 

organized by the Ottawa Chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women 

of Canada. "I seldom exhibit in commercial galleries, however, because 

I don't want to push up the cost of my paintings". Instead, this 

talented artist prefers to show and sell at home and welcomes visitors.

A Voice for Glebe Tenants 

Does the Glebe need a tenants association? Many Glebe 

tenants think it does. A group of interested people met 

recently to discuss the problems that renters face in our 

area. They felt that a tenants group should be formed to 

work on several issues. 

Enforcement of property standards. 

Provision of ticket-free parking (by permit) in front 

of our homes. 

Promotion of non-profit and co-operative housing to 

counterbalance the wave of renovation - related 

evictions. 

Education of tenants about the new Landlord - Tenant 

Act. 

* 

In the near future, members of the group will be 

knocking on Glebe doors, talking to people about these 

and other issues of concern to tenants. They will be 

asking people to join with them in pressing for action 

on these issues, and will be inviting them to attend 

a public meeting at a future date. 

If you would like to join the association or obtain 

further information contact Enid Moscovitch or Dave 

Hagerman at 234-9658.

Clemow Tot Lot Project in Difficulty 

By Vicki Robinson 

Parents of small children in the northeast corner of the Glebe might 

well be wondering what happened to the proposal to build a Tot Lot on 

the closed portion of Clemow Avenue between O'Connor and Bank. Contrary 

to appearances, the project has certainly not been forgotten, but the 

prospects are not encouraging. 

Many informal discussions with the residents of Clemow Avenue between 

O'Connor and Bank, have not changed their strong feelings that a Tot Lot 

would look incongruous on the roadway. The residents and those concerned 

with the project have therefore tried very hard to persuade the National 

Capital Commission to agree to leasing a small piece of Central Park to 

the city for a Tot Lot. 

Indeed, Mayor Dewar wrote to C.M. Drury, Chairman of the N.C.C. in 

June, asking that an exception be made in this case to the usual policy 

of "passive recreation" in N.C.C. parks. Mr. Drury replied at the end 

of July that "there do not appear to be any special circumstances in this 

which require a change in policy." He also indicated that a review of all 

N.C.C. land holdings and their significance in terms of the N.C.C. mandate, 

is currently underway. The Clemow Avenue Tot Lot project may be 

reassessed when this study is completed. 

Meanwhile, the Tot Lot project was reviewed by Planning Board on June 

14, as part of the Glebe Neighbourhood Study. Planning Board recommended 

"that the City negotiate a long term lease with the N.C.C. for a portion 

of Central Park for the development of a local tot lot; if this is not 

possible, then the City should negotiate to use the closed portion of 

Clemow for this purpose." Informal discussions between the N.C.C. and 

project organizers seem to indicate that the N.C.C. would be unwilling 

to have the closed roadway developed as a Tot Lot, if the residents adjacent 

to the site are in opposition. 

The board further recommended that the City assist the community in its 

attempts at developing a suitable play facility, or itself develop the 

chosen site as a tot lot. The latter was contrary to a Planning Branch 

proposal "that the community take the initiative to develop the tot lot 

itself through available grants and community assistance." 

In relation to "available grants" there has been another critical 

development. Some months ago, Wintario reviewed its policy of funding, 

and capital projects such as the Tot Lot are no longer eligible for 

Wintario grants. This change represented a blow to the project as the 

project budget was based on fifty percent Wintario funding. Luckily, 

planning board recommended assistance. 

In summary, the Clemow Avenue Tot Lot project has come to a stand still 

at least for the time being. What with the impasse over the site, and 

the funding difficulties. the immediate prognosis is disappointing. It 

does seem a very sad comment, that in this International Year of the 

Child, some way could not have been found to turn a small portion of all 

the green space in the northeast corner of the Glebe, over to the 

specific use and enjoyment of our small children. 

Last but not least, sincere thanks are due to Mr. Herbert Otto, arcilitect, 

who so generously donated his time and energies to produce the 

delightful design for the Tot Lot and to all those parents of small 

children whose enthusiasm and hard work made all the initial stages of the 

project possible.

Introducing 

Pella's Contemporary French 

Sliding Glass Door... 

Vive Les Différences! 

Now you can have exceptional energy efficiency with 

the charm of a French door and the convenience of a 

sliding door. Because Pella combines the best of the old 

and the new in a sliding glass door that's truly different. 

Different because it's equally at home in traditional and 

contemporary settings with features like a low-maintenance 

aluminum clad exterior, removable, windowpane dividers 

or Slimshade, an exclusive built-in narrow-slat blind. 

Different because it conserves energy far better than ordinary 

glass doors or French-style doors currently available. 

And the size is ideal for new construction or replacement. 

Different in many other important ways. For a free brochure, 

contact your Pella planning center. 

Onk Pella offers it all.

Solution: 

In many emergency situations in the home it is 

necessary to have information immediately available, 

information such as social insurance numbers, 0.H.I.P. 

numbers, doctor's name, next of kin names and 

addresses, and medical allergies. Most people know 

where to locate this information scattered about 

their own homes, but if someone outside the family 

tries to give assistance, the information is not 

easily found. 

"VIAL OF LIFE". Fill in the form below, tuck it in 

an empty pill bottle, and tape the pill bottle under 

the right hand side of the top shelf of your refrigerator. 

Place QUOTA's "Vial of Life" sticker on the 

outside upper corner of your refrigerator door. 

This simple idea has been successfully adopted in several cities in 

the United States and Canada. With the co-operation of all local 

Police, Fire and Ambulance Services and the Ottawa Pharmacists 

Association, the idea is being introduced in Ottawa-Carleton by 

QUOTA.

A Taxing Problem 

Glebe tax payers can expect an increase in 

property taxes soon. A new system of property 

assessment has been approved that will 

generally mean an increase in taxes for older 

homes. 

The new plan, approved by City Council in 

August, calls for the reassessment of all 

homes based on their 1975 real market value. 

The assessment for all residential properties 

with six units or less will be 12.1 per cent of 

the 1975 value. 

The present system of property assessment 

has remained basically unchanged since 1952. 

The new assessment will provide a redistribution 

of tax revenue, not an increase, city 

officials emphasized.' 

Michelle MacKinnon, alderman for Capital 

Ward, voted in favour of the proposal. She felt 

that the old system was unfair. "Obviously some 

people are paying too much, others are paying 

too little", she said she believes that the new 

system, although not perfect, is an improvement 

"I believe in the principle", she said. 

Concern has been raised by a few aldermen 

and tax payers about the impact shifting taxes 

will have on people who are on fixed or low 

incomes. People are particularly concerned about 

the problems senior citizens might face if their 

property taxes increase substantially. 

Colesman Young, assistant city finance 

commissioner, said there are at least two 

programs available to assist the elderly in 

Ottawa. 

One program provides $100 to elderly 

people who can first pass a means test. The 

second program offered by the provincial 

goverment, provides interest free loans of up to 

$150 to senior citizens The loans do not have to 

be paid 1 until the sale of the property. 

City council is also considering a plan to 

phase in the tax increases over a six year 

period for homes that will suffer an increase 

greater than either $250 or 10% of their 

present tax bill. 

The province is preparing an impact study 

for the city that should be ready by the middle 

of October. The city finance department is also 

preparing two studies on phasing in property 

for those on low or fixed incomes. The studies 

should be completed by the end of October. 

Although it is almost definite that the new

cannot accurately determine 

what their 

assessments will be

the notice and the 

province will not release

information until the 

notices are sent out. 

However, the province 

plans to hold a 

series of open houses

The Elms 

3 Alternatives 

The fate of the remaining elms in the Capital 

seems sealed by the latest recommendation of the 

Dept.of Physical Environment. They advise the 

discontinuation of the injection program in favour 

of replanting more disease resistant trees. 

Dutch Elm disease was first detected in the 

Ottawa area in 1956-7, when it is estimated 

there were 12,300 American Elm trees on City and 

Regional road allowances and in City Parks.Since 

that date an increasing number of Elms have succumbed 

to the Dutch Elm Disease and now, there 

are only 3,000 Elms on City property- the death 

rate averages around 1,100 trees per year. 

Worried because your Environment Canada reports that, in 1979,

pot, drinking beer, Disease in Canada.

death rate for treated trees of 3 per 

Ph: 238-8230 

cent per year, the City estimates the treated 

elms would all be dead and removed within 30 

years.Unpredictable factors include the possibility 

the disease would fade out naturally, the 

death rate might alter, a more economical treatment 

may be found. 

By continuing the treatments, the program 

would protect a limited number of the stately 

N 

Elms which have been part of our heritage for a 

considerable number of years. 

ALTERNATIVE (2) "Inject all remaining healthy 

elms on City property" 

Based on the present death rate for treated 

elms, the City estimates by the end of 1981, 

760 trees would disappear. This alternative 

would protect the maximum number of trees.But at 

the current death rate all trees would be dead 

and removed within 30 years. 

ALTERNATIVE (3)"Discontinue injection of City 

Elms and use the funds normally provided for 

the injection program to increase the tree replacement 

program." 

Il 

The City expects to remove 15700 trees from 

City property this year, due to death. However 

1,400 replacement trees will be planted. 

The Dept. of Physical Environment is convinced 

that further expenditures on the program will 

only delay the inevitable demise of all local 

Elms and has recommended that the third alternative 

be followed.
