If the city is going into the (strange) business of expropriating<br />
parkland for low rental housing, why pick on Lakeview Terrace Park?<br />
Why not choose Capital Park which at least can bear the tricycle<br />
traffic? Unlike busy Bronson Ave.<br />
Lakeview Terrace has never reached its potential as a park. Many<br />
people still think it's private property. It's not a very interesting<br />
park for children and the front part is seldom used. Older children<br />
occasionally practice basketball in the tennis court but a hub of<br />
actIvity the park isn't.<br />
Lakeview Terrace is a better location for an apartment for senior<br />
citizens or single students than either low rental housing for young<br />
families or even a park. Planning Board should consider other options<br />
before taking action.<br />
An elegant solution would be to barter the land off to the NCC in<br />
exchange for two Tot Lot locations: one in the northeast near Clemow<br />
and the other beyond tulip territory near the Madawaska end of Dow's<br />
Lake. The NCC would then have an adult park if they wished and <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
children would have the use of choice neighbourhood parkland.<br />

Fifth Ave Court<br />
No Loitering!<br />
If Fifth Avenue Court is a good idea, then<br />
enclosing it to extend its use from three or<br />
four months a yeEr to twelve months, is merely<br />
an extension of a good idea.<br />
In specific reply to Alderman MacKinnon's<br />
column, only one existing maple tree will be<br />
lost, and this will be replaced by landscaping<br />
more suited to an indoor environment. The<br />
extensive skylights are to preserve the original<br />
feeling.<br />
What will be attractive, open space, will<br />
not become a hang-out for loiterers and gangs of<br />
youngsters, due to constant supervision and the<br />
natural disincentive created by the restaurant<br />
having a cafe in the courtyard.<br />
An enclosure does not drastically change the<br />
concept, it merely refines and extends it. It<br />
will still be a unicue and exciting shopping<br />
area, but now with twelve month's comfort.<br />
In reply to Mr. Hagerman's letter, regurgitating<br />
his past opinions,yawn?<br />

Open Letter to<br />
Planning Board<br />
I would like to thank the hard-working members<br />
of the Ottawa Planning Board. Their stamina,<br />
insight and patience is resulting in a useful<br />
and helpful Neighbourhood Plan.<br />
In this spirit and with apologies, I ask that<br />
they re-consider the proposals that affect the<br />
Bank St. commercial area. As the proposals for<br />
Bank St. read now, I think our shopping area<br />
could easily become a series of five-storey<br />
buildings with a 60-foot strip of parking lots<br />
behind.Creation of such parking lots would necessitate<br />
the loss of a large number of <strong>Glebe</strong> households<br />
in my view.<br />
I think the result of large-scale expansion<br />
will be the destruction of our village-type shopping<br />
area.This shopping area would serve a much<br />
larger part of the city and I think it would create<br />
a large amount of traffic with accompanying<br />
noise, congestion and danger.<br />
Therefore I would ask that the Bank St. area<br />
have a thirty-five foot height limit and that no<br />
destruction of <strong>Glebe</strong> homes for parking be allowed.Thank<br />
you.<br />

It was with some distress<br />
that I read the<br />
letter from Pat Kealey<br />
(Sept. GLEBE REPORT)<br />
taking offense that her<br />
name and phone number<br />
were given on a flyer,<br />
when it had been determined<br />
that she would be<br />
best able to inform<br />
people seeking information.<br />
We were, of course,<br />
aware that Pat Kealey<br />
was Chairman of the<br />
Committee that proposed<br />
the designation of "Major<br />
Collector roads". I,<br />
along with many others<br />
felt strongly that this<br />
particular recommendation<br />
of that committee<br />
could not be endorsed.<br />
It was Pat Kealey's<br />
refusal to support our<br />
concerns that made necessary<br />
direct communication<br />
with Planning Board<br />
members.<br />
We certainly recognise<br />
the fact that we<br />
are part of the larger<br />
city. But the difficulties<br />
of older residential<br />
areas laid out at<br />
the turn of the century<br />
on the grid pattern present<br />

Lakeview Terrace Park<br />
A remarkable event took place at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community<br />
Centre the evening of September 25th and<br />
as many as 150 residents of the <strong>Glebe</strong> witnessed<br />
it. Planning Board held the first of its wrapup<br />
meetings on the <strong>Glebe</strong> Development Plan:among<br />
the topics for which resident delegations were<br />
received was the matter of Lakeview Terrace<br />
Park. Simply, the people who live in this<br />
part of the <strong>Glebe</strong> wish to maintain the area<br />
bounded by Bronson Ave. and Lakeview Terrace<br />
as a park - an open space where young children<br />
can play in safety, senior citizens can relax<br />
in relative tranquility, and near-by homeowners<br />
and rentors can rest assured that the<br />
neighbourhood they moved into will continue<br />
to afford them with some of the non-monetary<br />
amenities of city living which attracted them<br />
to our community in the first place. Despite<br />
over an hour and a half of sincere and concerned<br />
representation on the part of the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
citizens towards this goal, Planning Board<br />
voted to make Lakeview Terrace Park available<br />
for housing development.<br />
Of course events like this occur in the<br />
theatre of municipal politics quite frequently:<br />
there is nothing particularly remarkable about<br />
the process itself of imposing a development<br />
strategy, or part of a development strategy<br />
upon and against the wishes of a community. What<br />
is remarkable, however, is the fact that this<br />
community, which has always prided itself on<br />
the abundance and nature of its open-green<br />
spaces, is now being forced by City Hall to<br />
surrender those spaces to the interests of<br />
additional housing units. It was quite clear<br />
from the outset that the main thrust of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Development Plan was to facilitate and<br />
encourage a highter population density in our<br />
community, and now its fowls have started<br />
coming home to roost.<br />
Some would argue that an increase in the<br />
availability of housing stock in our community<br />
will drive land values up; others would argue<br />
that it will drive land values down, yet no<br />
one has yet tried to determine the cost such a<br />
course of action will have upon the character<br />
of our community. When we start suffering the<br />
expropriation of our parklands in order to<br />
accomodate more people into this community we<br />
ought to be perfectly clear on the price at<br />
which we are prepared to let that property go.<br />
Perhaps, a fair price, considering the nature of<br />
the process which achieves this kind of transaction,<br />
would be the simple formula: one vote<br />
per square inch:<br />

The First Avenue School, Renovation or Demolition<br />
By Halina Jeletzky<br />
The First Avenue Public School is the subject of many meetings and will<br />
continue to be the topic of discussion for the ensuing months. On September<br />
24th the First Avenue Home and School Association met. One topic<br />
on the agenda was the preparation of a submission to the Ottawa Board of<br />
Education Property Committee regarding the rebuilding or renovating of<br />
the school.<br />
At the meeting, the Association members were made aware of a report<br />
prepared by the OBE which identified two options, each costing the same<br />
amount of money. The options are: (1) renovation of the existing school,<br />
including its modernization and the shifting of the 3rd floor gym to a<br />
new school. The Chairman of the Association, Mr. Rick Sheffer, also informed<br />
the association members that the "school is on the priority list"<br />
of the OBE.<br />
Also discussed was the age of the school and the fact that some of its<br />
shortcomings should be corrected either by rebuilding or renovation.<br />
Some of these include the inconvenient location of the library and gym<br />
on the third floor and the old electrical and heating systems which must<br />
be replaced from time to time in order to ensure a safe and efficient<br />
operation of the school.<br />
Those interested in this topic may contact Rick Sheffer, Chairman of<br />
the Home and School Association.<br />

An Opinion of the First Avenue Public School from a <strong>Glebe</strong> Resident<br />
First Avenue School is due for renovation or demolition The cost<br />
being the same I believe that renovation is the better alternative.<br />
The reasons for this opinion are as follows.<br />
Historically, the First Avenue PS is a <strong>Glebe</strong> landmark. It was constructed<br />
in 1898 just as the <strong>Glebe</strong> community was forming. Thus, it is<br />
similar in historical character to the neighbourhood around it. The<br />

details as seen in the residental houses clusteted around the school,<br />
is also present in the school. Moreover, the alteration of 1907 did not<br />
alter the original school greatly. The older school was encased within<br />
the new additions.<br />
First Avenue was designed by E.L. Horwood, a well known Ottawa Architect.<br />
Horwood was Chief Architect for the Department of Public Works<br />
from 1914-18. He designed the original Ottawa Public Library, Osgoode<br />
Public School, the structure once standing at 305 Metcalfe Street, Mutchmor<br />
Public School and others.<br />
Public School Architecture is becoming rare. Of the numerous Public<br />
Schools constructed in Ottawa from 1867 to 1900 not many remain. George<br />
Street, Kent Street, the original Elgin Street and original Cambridge<br />
Public Schools, to name only a few, no longer exist. Incidentally the<br />
same is true of many towns around Ottawa.<br />
Finally, there are several architects in Ottawa of proven ability in<br />
the recycling of large scale heritage buildings. Two examples of the<br />
work being done by such individuals are the restoration projects carried<br />
out on the Billings Estate and the Académie de-la-Salle.<br />
For these reasons, the option of renovation is without doubt the<br />
better alternative Therewould be double the benefit in that the heritage<br />
would be retained while the interior would be modernized and all of this<br />
at the same price as it would cost to demolish and replace the original<br />
school. The school would also serve the <strong>Glebe</strong> community more efficiently<br />
and at the same time continue to enhance the attractiveness of the<br />
neighbourhood.

(Lahey's firm has renovated and restored several<br />
buildings on Somerset Street West between Bank<br />
and O'Connor.)<br />
I received several calls from <strong>Glebe</strong> residents<br />
who deplored the loss of the laundromat. In<br />
response to my letter expressing this concern,<br />
Mr. Lahey told me on <strong>October</strong> 1st that he has<br />
reconsidered the removal of the laundromat and<br />
that it is likely that he will keep an area for<br />
a coin wash, perhaps with a small eating area<br />
where coffee and sandwiches would be available.<br />
In a neighbourhood where a high percentage<br />
of residents are renters, it would be a shame<br />
to lose a facility as well-used and as essential<br />
as the laundromat.<br />
Rezoning Requested on Fifth Avenue update on <strong>10</strong>1-<strong>10</strong>7 Fifth Avenue<br />
A lawyer practicing from his home at 88 Fifth Avenue, just east of<br />
Bank, has requested a change of zoning from R-4 to R4-X to enable him<br />
to pursue a "home occupation" with an additional employee.<br />
The applicant, who owns and resides at 88 Fifth, states the following<br />
reasons for his application:<br />
He is already operating a law office from his home and the existing<br />
by-law prevents him from hiring any employees and from having more than<br />
one client on the premises at the same time.<br />
He "does not feel that the rezoning of this property will adversely<br />
affect the residential nature of the neighbourhood", in view of the<br />
Fifth Avenue Court construction directly across the street.<br />
3."The building itself is well-suited to commercial use, as each floor<br />
has two means of access and egress."<br />
It is customary, when a zoning change of this nature is requested, to<br />
circulate the application to various technical agencies as well as to<br />
the Ward Alderman.<br />
I am opposed to the granting of this application because:<br />
1. It constitutes a spot-rezoning while the proposals of the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
Neighbourhood Study are still under consideration by the Ottawa Planning<br />
Board.<br />
2.It is contrary to the recommendations of the Land Use Committee of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Study that this area should remain residential and that there<br />
should be no "up-zoning".<br />
The expansion of the law office, even though the applicant resides on<br />
the premises, would in fact encroach upon the residential area.<br />
The granting of this type of application constitutes a dangerous precedent,<br />
opening the door for expansion of other home occupations, Already,<br />
many neighbours have objected to the large sign on the veranda.<br />
The property at 88 Fifth Avenue is a fine home and should be used as<br />
such.Legal firms belong in commercial office space.<br />
5.There is very limited parking available in the applicant's driveway<br />
and expansion of the law office would aggravate an already congested<br />
area<br />
6. There is ample commercial space in the <strong>Glebe</strong> and downtown Ottawa. I<br />
see no valid reason (except a savings for the applicant!) to allow expansion<br />
in a fine home located in a residential area.<br />
If you Wish to appear in person to make a presentation you may do so<br />
at the Ottawa Planning Board Meeting at which it will be discussed. The<br />
tentative date is Tuesday, <strong>October</strong> 17 at 9:30 a.m. For confirmation<br />
call Mr. Ken Brown at 563-3333.<br />
At Last, Demolition of an Eyesore<br />
For almost 2 years, the apartment building at the northeast corner of<br />
Bank and Pretoria has been condemned and boarded-up. In May 1978, the<br />
City's Property Standards Branch issued an order to repair or demolish<br />
the building. As the owners were then in the process of consolidating<br />
their plans for the site, they requested a delay.<br />
However, after last August's fire, the building has become a hazard.<br />
On September 5th, <strong>1979</strong>, "the owner was ordered to demolish the building<br />
and remove all of the resultant debris by September 28, <strong>1979</strong>. If the<br />
owner fails to take action by September 28, <strong>1979</strong>, we will be in a position<br />
to carry out the work at his expense." (Excerpt from File: CD-48O5-<br />
183-74, memo from R. Bailey, Commissioner of Community Development,<br />
dated September 13, <strong>1979</strong>, to Ald. M. Mackinnon)<br />
Ed. Note:<br />
See GCA article as well.<br />
A few months ago, this building of residential<br />
units was sold to a new owner who wished<br />
to use it as a combined commercial residential<br />
location. Although the commercial zoning<br />
allowed the change, parking requirements for<br />
fifteen (15) cars could not be met. The owner<br />
could only provide five (5) spaces and requested<br />
a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment.<br />
After four (4) adjournments request-<br />
ed by the applicant's solicitor, and strong<br />
opposition from Planning Branch and area resi-<br />
dents, the application was formally withdrawn<br />
on September 20, <strong>1979</strong>. The matter has now been<br />
referred to the City's Legal Branch.<br />
Ottawa South<br />
More Shops?<br />
A proposal has been submitted by the owners<br />
and operators of WIZARDS, a restaurant recently<br />
opened on Bank Street west, between Aylmer and<br />
Euclid. The plans include an addition to the<br />
southern part of the old gas station (31' x 31')<br />
and an addition to the northern part of Wizards,<br />
a 29' x 29' banquet room. The gas station<br />
would house 3 to 5 shops, including a jean<br />
store and a record store. As the two existing<br />
buildings are built too close to the lot line<br />
by <strong>1979</strong> standards, a minor variance has been<br />
requested to allow the two additions to be<br />
built in the same line instead of 12 feet from<br />
the lot line as required by city by-laws.<br />
Many questions remain unanswered, such as the<br />
use of two laneways running perpendicular and<br />
parallel to the property, the residential<br />
zoning of the patio located behind Wizards, the<br />
parking requirements, etc. There is also<br />
strong opposition from area residents to any<br />
expansion of Wizards and to future uses which<br />
would aggravate traffic problems in an already<br />
congested area.<br />
The majority of these problems, as well as<br />
noise pollution, stem from an undesirable concentration<br />
of entertainment uses (Elaine's Pub,<br />
El Dorado Disco, Patty's Pub) within a single<br />
block of Bank Street.<br />
Both the Planning Branch and objecting residents<br />
will ask the Committee of Adjustment to<br />
defer the application until all details are<br />
ironed out.<br />

Membership 1980<br />
By Joy Heft<br />
We just managed to squeak a notice of the<br />
1980 membership blitz into the last issue of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>. Unfortunately, the heading ended<br />
with a question mark instead of the intended<br />
exclamation. By now there should be no question<br />
about it As of <strong>October</strong> 1, block reps<br />
began swarming the streets of the <strong>Glebe</strong>. If<br />
you haven't been buzzed yet, you will be soon.<br />
"Why so early?" you may wonder. We prefer<br />
to have our block reps canvass during pleasant,<br />
fall weather rather than expose them to frigid<br />
January temperatures. However, memberships<br />
purchased now are valid for the 1980 calendar<br />
year.<br />
A strong membership is vital to the Association<br />
if it is to represent the community in a<br />
credible way in its dealings with City Hall and<br />
the O.M.B. In <strong>1979</strong> we recruited 1800 members<br />
living in 1200 households. We are confident<br />
the 1980 results will be as gratifying.<br />
While the "block rep" system improves each<br />
year, there are always a few streets in each<br />
area where no rep is available. If you have a<br />
bit of spare time and are willing to canvass in<br />
your area, please contact the appropriate director.<br />
(see list of area directors)<br />
Prohibitive mailing costs prevent us from<br />
sending frequent newsletters to our members.<br />
We rely on this column to keep you informed,<br />
and invite you to attend the regular monthly<br />
meeting of the G.C.A. executive held at the<br />
Community Centre the fourth Tuesday of each<br />
month at 7:30 p.m.<br />

Bob Monaghan, Chairman<br />
Neighbourhood Planning Committee<br />
,.<br />
The following is the current status of a number of zoning infractions:<br />
It seems like only yesterday that the first city inspection was carried<br />
out on the illegal conversion of the 17 - 19 Rupert Street dwelling.<br />
Bût in fact, it was almost four years ago-December 1975. The list of<br />
legal delays which Gunter Heinze has used to avoid the Prohibition<br />
Order issued.on August <strong>10</strong>, 1977 leaves me with a deep sense of frustration,especially<br />
since almost all of these legal manoeuvres have been<br />
adjournments rather than hearings.<br />
The last action was the sudden withdrawal by Mr. Heinze's lawyer from<br />
the appeal scheduled to be heard by the Ontario Municipal Board on<br />
July 18, <strong>1979</strong>. In a September 25, <strong>1979</strong> letter, the Deputy City Solicitor,<br />
Frank C. Askwith, stated that "...contempt proceedings in this<br />
matter are properly within the jurisdiction of the Crown Attorney<br />
for the district of Ottawa-Carleton. We have requested the Crown Attorney<br />
to commence criminal contempt of court proceedings against Mr. Heinze<br />
and have provided the Senior Assistant Crown Attorney, Mr. Mac Lindsay,<br />
with certain information to allow him to take the necessary proceedings".<br />
A four door row located at <strong>10</strong>1-<strong>10</strong>7 Fourth Avenue between the Post<br />
Office and Bank Street which had been used for residential purposes is<br />
now operating as a combination of commercial and residential. Fifteen<br />
parking spaces are required but only five are presently available.<br />
The new owner, B. Levine, applied for a minor variance to allow a<br />
reduction in parking spaces from fifteen to five.<br />
Both the City's Planning Board and the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association<br />
opposed this application since we felt it was not minor but major in<br />
nature due to the existing serious parking problem and congestion at<br />
this location. Mr. Levine's application was adjourned at the applicant's<br />
request on June 21, July 5, August 2, and September 6. On<br />
September 20, <strong>1979</strong> the owner's lawyer withdrew the application. Now<br />
the City is to inspect the site during the first week of <strong>October</strong>, then<br />
write a registered letter to the owner before proceeding with any<br />
action. It is very unfortunate that first, this stalling tactic which<br />
makes a mockery of our by-laws was allowed and second, the City didn't<br />
have enough foresight to have previously inspected this property.<br />
Almost a year ago, the apartment at Bank and Pretoria was condemned<br />
and the owners ordered to demolish the building. Through legal manoeuvres,<br />
no action was taken until the building burned late this summer.<br />

Weaver's Show<br />
by Ann Anderson<br />
All <strong>Glebe</strong> residents are invited to come see a <strong>10</strong>0 year old sheep at<br />
the 'Sheep to Shawl' Exhibition and Sale organized by the Ottawa Valley<br />
Weavers Guild at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre November 3 and 4, <strong>1979</strong>.<br />
Pamela Lawes of Holmwood Ave., this year's President of the 0.V.W.G.,<br />
extends the invitation.<br />
Guild members feel the beautiful architectural proportions of the<br />
Community Centre's interior will provide a warm and harmonious setting<br />
for their weaving and allow plenty of space for demonstrations of their<br />
craft. Visitors can join in too.<br />
The term 'Sheep to Shawl' means that the sheeps' raw fleece will be<br />
turned into a garment in one day,-in an on-going process by nimble fingered<br />
Guild members carding, spinning and weaving the wool into a garment.<br />
The result, a poncho, will be raffled off, along with placemats<br />
and a fibre basket.<br />
Try It Out Corner<br />
A dyeing exhibit will show how fibres can take on soft or brilliant<br />
hues from vegetable or chemical dyes. Everyone is welcome to try their<br />
hands on the looms and spinning wheels, or take part in inkle loom or<br />
ceinture fleche demonstrations in the "Try it out" corner.<br />
At the Weaver's Co-operative' booth and the 17 individual<br />
weavers' booths woven goods of all kinds are for sale, including<br />
wallhangings, blankets, rugs, table linen, hats, scarves, jackets, ponchos<br />
and more. You'll have a chance to view the handwoven garments on<br />
professional models in a fashion show at 2 p.m. on both days, and chat<br />
to Guild members about everything you ever wanted to know about spinning<br />
and weaving.<br />

The Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers from Carleton Place will have<br />
a booth presided over by a sheep over <strong>10</strong>0 years old, belonging to a now<br />
extinct breed. They will be happy to talk to you about the quality and<br />
uses of different types of wool from the various breeds of sheep raised<br />
in Canada.<br />
A <strong>Glebe</strong> resident with her own individual booth is Geraldine Classen<br />
of Clemow Avenue, whose wall hangings and clothing from handspun and<br />
naturally dyed wool will be familiar to visitors to past <strong>Glebe</strong> Craft<br />
Fairs or to her show of hangings at the Old Vic Pine and Antiques Gallery<br />
last year. This year Geraldine has developped some new clothing designs,<br />
carried out in weaving and crochet, which she'll be showing along with<br />

working with beautiful fibre rich in colour and lustre, which she weaves<br />
into fine cloth. Gillian will display a delicate line of shawls,<br />
scarves, material, sweater jackets and table linen.<br />
In previous years Gillian has shown her work at the Christmas Craft<br />
Fairs at Lansdowne Park and Nepean Sportsplex.<br />
Ann Anderson of Powell Avenue is another <strong>Glebe</strong> resident who enjoys<br />
weaving and will be present. She uses wool from the Carleton Wool<br />
Growers Co-operative for making fleece rugs and for trimming jackets.<br />
So for an in depth look at the ancient craft of cloth making, bring<br />
the family along to the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre on November 3rd and 4th.<br />
P.S. The Fant_rx will pe,open for refreshments.

THIS SEASON FEATURING<br />
Winter boots by Kaufman (Sorels)<br />
Down & Hollofill Parkas & Jackets by<br />
Pioneer, Jardi and Jansport<br />
A good selection of 3 and 4 Season Sleeping Bags<br />
and of course<br />
A complete selection of Cross Country Skis, Boots, Clothing and Accessories.<br />
This includes the best selection of skis in town.<br />
It's coming again - that six months of poor canoeing or good skiing depending on your attitude towards winter.<br />
Trailhead is an outdoor specialty shop in Ottawa's west end that is a mecca from April to <strong>October</strong> for canoeists<br />
equipping themselves or joining an expedition heading off for rivers as far away as the Nahanni or Coppermine in<br />
the N.W.T.<br />
From November to April there are a lot of sad faces and restless bodies wandering in and out of the shop asking,<br />
"How long till breakup?" One of the best ways to pass the time and enjoy the season is cross-country ski touring<br />
and winter camping. Trailhead runs a full retail and rental program geared toward the winter camper and off track<br />
skier. They can accommodate groups of up to 30 with cross-country skis, boots, poles, winter sleeping bags, enfolite<br />
pads, packs, polka sleds, tents, stoves and snowshoes. The staff can also advise the individual or group about<br />
where to go, safety procedures, proper clothing or provide a guide and instructor to go along with you on your<br />
first trip.<br />
For the first time this season Trailhead is also offering season long rentals on an excellent wood ski package<br />
(Splitkein skis, Adidas boots, Villum bindings, Tonkin poles - Value retail $139.00 Season rental $75.00 option to<br />
buy in April additional $50.00) or fibreglass ski package (Splitkein 1600 Glider, LT Alfa Boot, Troll binding, Tonkin<br />
Moon pole - Retail value $179.00 Season rental $90.00 option to buy in April additional $55.00).<br />
This makes for an interesting way to buy your skis, yet be sure you like them before you make a major investment.<br />
So don't let the upcoming poor canoeing season get.you down. Turn it into a good ski season with a little help<br />
from your friends.

of the store,<br />
Trudy Gahlinger and<br />
Enid Moscovitch, hope<br />
that business will increase<br />
due to the opening<br />
of the centre. The<br />
added business will be<br />
a welcome relief from<br />
the constant work stoppages<br />
that have plagued<br />
them since the beginning<br />
of construction several<br />

Herb & Spice is back at 841 Bank with<br />
a facelift and increased space. The opening<br />
up of thecentresection to the brick<br />
walls has reduced the Saturday afternoon<br />
crunch to a comfortable mingle and created<br />
a very spacious effect. Though renovations<br />
are on-going the store is now in full<br />
operation.<br />
Manager Charlie Sohmer would like to<br />
remind customers that they can save up to<br />
20% on most items in the store when they<br />
buy in bulk. They will soon be selling<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> Fish to Open<br />
Fish Restaurant<br />
For almost two years, the <strong>Glebe</strong> Fish Store<br />
has been offering this city a variety of fresh<br />
and frozen fish and seafood, as well as one of<br />
the biggest selections of smoked fish in Ottawa.<br />
Wayne Duford and Karen Von Merveldt offer a<br />
friendly and helpful service - always willing<br />
to offer cooking suggestions, or demonstrate<br />
the joys of a live lobster to a delighted<br />
youngster.<br />
"The secret to fish as an economical meal is<br />
to buy specials and the less costly items: cod,<br />
turbot and mackerel, etc. The decline in the<br />
dollar has greatly escalated the price of<br />
shrimp, oysters and other seafood," says Wayne.<br />
By mid-November, <strong>Glebe</strong> Fish will be expanding<br />
from the sale to the serving of fish.<br />
Karen and Wayne are opening a restaurant above<br />
their store: its catchy name is Flippers: The<br />
restaurant will be moderately priced, with<br />
simple decor and a liquor licence. We wish<br />
them good luck, and look forward to sampling<br />
their wares.<br />

Phil Wasserman, of<br />

the addition is not<br />

said a clothing store,'<br />

Radioactive Confusion<br />
The Atomic Energy Control Board regulates the amount of radioactive<br />
material allowed in ionization smoke detectors. These regulations permit,<br />
for home use, up to 1 millirem of americium (half life 458 years)<br />
at 5 centimeters and for industrial detectors, 20 microcuries.<br />
To understand the safety of these levels it is necessary to know the<br />
basic units of measurement for atomic radiation:<br />
Rem - The unit of roentgen equivalent for man. One rem of any<br />
given radiation is the quantity that causes, when absorbed<br />
by man, an effect equivalent to the absorption of one<br />
roentgen.<br />
So what is a roentgen?<br />
IS YOUR CHIMNEY A SLEEPING FIRE BOMB?<br />
Burning wood and solid fuels in a fireplace or fumace deposits creosote<br />

by<br />
Barbara Riley<br />
"Being involved in practical politics is a great corrective to being<br />
a university professor, especially if your subject is political history."<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> resident Richard Clippingdale knows whereof he speaks. He has been<br />
active in the Progressive Conservative party at least as long as he<br />
has been pursuing research in Canadian political history - first as an<br />
undergraduate at the University of Toronto and for the past dozen years<br />
as a professor of history at Carleton University.<br />
He credits his dual interests with giving him a better perspective on<br />
politicians, past and present, and their "demanding, insecure, almost<br />
irrational life."<br />
Clippingdale has experienced the hard realities of<br />
political life at first hand: as a campaign worker in several hard-fought<br />
elections for P.C. candidates, as a delegate to provincial and national<br />
party conventions, as President of the Ottawa Centre P.C. riding association,<br />
and as a defeated candidate for his party's nomination in that<br />
riding.<br />

Paradoxically he has recently written a book about Liberal prime minister<br />
Sir Wilfred Laurier. (LAURIER, HIS LIFE AND WORLD, published by<br />
McGraw -Hill Ryerson, <strong>1979</strong>)<br />
"I agreed to write the book in 30 seconds. Kaye Lamb, former Dominion<br />

yes, and that was it". He respects politicians who have had to serve a Rick Olippingdale<br />

and electoral support. Laurier was such a politician and an<br />
attractive personality into the bargain. Clippingdale admires Laurier He plans to explore the Canadian political<br />

The House of Speculative Fiction<br />

Science-fiction and fantasy lovers of Ottawa at last have a haven.<br />
The House of Speculative Fiction opened this summer just east of Bank St.<br />
on Fourth Avenue. Owner-operator Jim Gallagher, 25, defines speculative<br />
fiction as being a "genre of fiction where fantasy and science-fiction<br />
are sub-genres - fiction that examines any surreal subject matter."<br />
The store's clientele ranges in age from <strong>10</strong> to 80, with the majority of<br />
customers coming from the universities.<br />

Elizabeth Mountford:<br />
At Home with Bold, Colourful Art<br />
In Canada for six years now, Elizabeth Mountford lives and paints in<br />
a small, renovated house on Fourth Avenue which reflects her educated<br />
sensitivity to design and colour - a house choc-a-bloc with assertive,<br />
arresting canvasses.<br />
Elizabeth was born in Birmingham, England in 1945. She studied in<br />
London at the renowned St. Martins School of Art (Diploma in Art and<br />
Design, 1966) and afterwards at London University Institute of Education<br />
(Art Teachers Certificate, 1967). Her career has taken her from freelance<br />
and lecturing in England to the same mix of artist-educator in<br />
the U.S. and Canada. Now associated with the Visual Arts Dept. of<br />
Algonquin College, she teaches Colour Theory and Fundamentals of Design.<br />
"I didn't actually start to paint until 1970 when I moved to New York':<br />
Elizabeth explained. From the beginning her medium was acrylic. Her<br />
style has evolved from flat blocks of colour with a predominance of hard<br />
edge to an intriguing combination of hard edge contrasted with soft<br />
shapes. Her colour combinations are imaginative, expressive, assured -<br />
and she uses colour to create perspective as seen in the "Old Woman with<br />
Pelican" from the spring '79 show of <strong>Glebe</strong> Artists.<br />
Her subjects are generally people in everyday settings, like the<br />
spontaneous "Mr. Frachette with Duck", inspired by a local news item<br />
about a duck who never made it south, "Sailor in a Bar" with a macaw on<br />
his shoulder, and her unusual "Self Portrait" with the artist's back to<br />
the viewer - subjects which are not psychological studies so much as<br />
studies in design and colour.<br />
Her paintings have won her acclaim and awards in shows here and New<br />
York. She recently exhibited in the popular and prestigious group show<br />
organized by the Ottawa Chapter of the National Council of Jewish Women<br />
of Canada. "I seldom exhibit in commercial galleries, however, because<br />
I don't want to push up the cost of my paintings". Instead, this<br />
talented artist prefers to show and sell at home and welcomes visitors.<br />

A Voice for <strong>Glebe</strong> Tenants<br />
Does the <strong>Glebe</strong> need a tenants association? Many <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
tenants think it does. A group of interested people met<br />
recently to discuss the problems that renters face in our<br />
area. They felt that a tenants group should be formed to<br />
work on several issues.<br />
Enforcement of property standards.<br />
Provision of ticket-free parking (by permit) in front<br />
of our homes.<br />
Promotion of non-profit and co-operative housing to<br />
counterbalance the wave of renovation - related<br />
evictions.<br />
Education of tenants about the new Landlord - Tenant<br />
Act.<br />
*<br />
In the near future, members of the group will be<br />
knocking on <strong>Glebe</strong> doors, talking to people about these<br />
and other issues of concern to tenants. They will be<br />
asking people to join with them in pressing for action<br />
on these issues, and will be inviting them to attend<br />
a public meeting at a future date.<br />
If you would like to join the association or obtain<br />
further information contact Enid Moscovitch or Dave<br />
Hagerman at 234-9658.<br />

Clemow Tot Lot Project in Difficulty<br />
By Vicki Robinson<br />
Parents of small children in the northeast corner of the <strong>Glebe</strong> might<br />
well be wondering what happened to the proposal to build a Tot Lot on<br />
the closed portion of Clemow Avenue between O'Connor and Bank. Contrary<br />
to appearances, the project has certainly not been forgotten, but the<br />
prospects are not encouraging.<br />
Many informal discussions with the residents of Clemow Avenue between<br />
O'Connor and Bank, have not changed their strong feelings that a Tot Lot<br />
would look incongruous on the roadway. The residents and those concerned<br />
with the project have therefore tried very hard to persuade the National<br />
Capital Commission to agree to leasing a small piece of Central Park to<br />
the city for a Tot Lot.<br />
Indeed, Mayor Dewar wrote to C.M. Drury, Chairman of the N.C.C. in<br />
June, asking that an exception be made in this case to the usual policy<br />
of "passive recreation" in N.C.C. parks. Mr. Drury replied at the end<br />
of July that "there do not appear to be any special circumstances in this<br />
which require a change in policy." He also indicated that a review of all<br />
N.C.C. land holdings and their significance in terms of the N.C.C. mandate,<br />
is currently underway. The Clemow Avenue Tot Lot project may be<br />
reassessed when this study is completed.<br />
Meanwhile, the Tot Lot project was reviewed by Planning Board on June<br />
14, as part of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Neighbourhood Study. Planning Board recommended<br />
"that the City negotiate a long term lease with the N.C.C. for a portion<br />
of Central Park for the development of a local tot lot; if this is not<br />
possible, then the City should negotiate to use the closed portion of<br />
Clemow for this purpose." Informal discussions between the N.C.C. and<br />
project organizers seem to indicate that the N.C.C. would be unwilling<br />
to have the closed roadway developed as a Tot Lot, if the residents adjacent<br />
to the site are in opposition.<br />
The board further recommended that the City assist the community in its<br />
attempts at developing a suitable play facility, or itself develop the<br />
chosen site as a tot lot. The latter was contrary to a Planning Branch<br />
proposal "that the community take the initiative to develop the tot lot<br />
itself through available grants and community assistance."<br />
In relation to "available grants" there has been another critical<br />
development. Some months ago, Wintario reviewed its policy of funding,<br />
and capital projects such as the Tot Lot are no longer eligible for<br />
Wintario grants. This change represented a blow to the project as the<br />
project budget was based on fifty percent Wintario funding. Luckily,<br />
planning board recommended assistance.<br />
In summary, the Clemow Avenue Tot Lot project has come to a stand still<br />
at least for the time being. What with the impasse over the site, and<br />
the funding difficulties. the immediate prognosis is disappointing. It<br />
does seem a very sad comment, that in this International Year of the<br />
Child, some way could not have been found to turn a small portion of all<br />
the green space in the northeast corner of the <strong>Glebe</strong>, over to the<br />
specific use and enjoyment of our small children.<br />
Last but not least, sincere thanks are due to Mr. Herbert Otto, arcilitect,<br />
who so generously donated his time and energies to produce the<br />
delightful design for the Tot Lot and to all those parents of small<br />
children whose enthusiasm and hard work made all the initial stages of the<br />
project possible.<br />

Pella's Contemporary French<br />
Sliding Glass Door...<br />
Vive Les Différences!<br />
Now you can have exceptional energy efficiency with<br />
the charm of a French door and the convenience of a<br />
sliding door. Because Pella combines the best of the old<br />
and the new in a sliding glass door that's truly different.<br />
Different because it's equally at home in traditional and<br />
contemporary settings with features like a low-maintenance<br />
aluminum clad exterior, removable, windowpane dividers<br />
or Slimshade, an exclusive built-in narrow-slat blind.<br />
Different because it conserves energy far better than ordinary<br />
glass doors or French-style doors currently available.<br />
And the size is ideal for new construction or replacement.<br />
Different in many other important ways. For a free brochure,<br />

A Taxing Problem<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> tax payers can expect an increase in<br />
property taxes soon. A new system of property<br />
assessment has been approved that will<br />
generally mean an increase in taxes for older<br />
homes.<br />
The new plan, approved by City Council in<br />
August, calls for the reassessment of all<br />
homes based on their 1975 real market value.<br />
The assessment for all residential properties<br />
with six units or less will be 12.1 per cent of<br />
the 1975 value.<br />
The present system of property assessment<br />
has remained basically unchanged since 1952.<br />
The new assessment will provide a redistribution<br />
of tax revenue, not an increase, city<br />
officials emphasized.'<br />
Michelle MacKinnon, alderman for Capital<br />
Ward, voted in favour of the proposal. She felt<br />
that the old system was unfair. "Obviously some<br />
people are paying too much, others are paying<br />
too little", she said she believes that the new<br />
system, although not perfect, is an improvement<br />
"I believe in the principle", she said.<br />
Concern has been raised by a few aldermen<br />
and tax payers about the impact shifting taxes<br />
will have on people who are on fixed or low<br />
incomes. People are particularly concerned about<br />
the problems senior citizens might face if their<br />
property taxes increase substantially.<br />
Colesman Young, assistant city finance<br />
commissioner, said there are at least two<br />
programs available to assist the elderly in<br />
Ottawa.<br />
One program provides $<strong>10</strong>0 to elderly<br />
people who can first pass a means test. The<br />
second program offered by the provincial<br />
goverment, provides interest free loans of up to<br />
$150 to senior citizens The loans do not have to<br />
be paid 1 until the sale of the property.<br />
City council is also considering a plan to<br />
phase in the tax increases over a six year<br />
period for homes that will suffer an increase<br />
greater than either $250 or <strong>10</strong>% of their<br />
present tax bill.<br />
The province is preparing an impact study<br />
for the city that should be ready by the middle<br />
of <strong>October</strong>. The city finance department is also<br />
preparing two studies on phasing in property<br />
for those on low or fixed incomes. The studies<br />
should be completed by the end of <strong>October</strong>.<br />
Although it is almost definite that the new<br />
unfair. Homeowners<br />
cannot accurately determine<br />
what their<br />
assessments will be<br />
before they receive<br />
the notice and the<br />
province will not release<br />
the necessary<br />
information until the<br />
notices are sent out.<br />
However, the province<br />
plans to hold a<br />
series of open houses<br />
to explain and discuss<br />
the changes.<br />

The Elms<br />
3 Alternatives<br />
The fate of the remaining elms in the Capital<br />
seems sealed by the latest recommendation of the<br />
Dept.of Physical Environment. They advise the<br />
discontinuation of the injection program in favour<br />
of replanting more disease resistant trees.<br />
Dutch Elm disease was first detected in the<br />
Ottawa area in 1956-7, when it is estimated<br />
there were 12,300 American Elm trees on City and<br />
Regional road allowances and in City Parks.Since<br />
that date an increasing number of Elms have succumbed<br />
to the Dutch Elm Disease and now, there<br />
are only 3,000 Elms on City property- the death<br />
rate averages around 1,<strong>10</strong>0 trees per year.<br />
Worried because your Environment Canada reports that, in <strong>1979</strong>,<br />
teenager is smoking Ottawa has the highest infestation of Dutch Elm<br />
pot, drinking beer, Disease in Canada.<br />
popping pills? Register The injection program for trees on public<br />
in the Parent Drug property began the summer of 1974. During 1978,<br />

345 trees were injected, including the small<br />

and to register At a<br />
-<br />
death rate for treated trees of 3 per<br />
Ph: 238-8230<br />
cent per year, the City estimates the treated<br />
elms would all be dead and removed within 30<br />
years.Unpredictable factors include the possibility<br />
the disease would fade out naturally, the<br />
death rate might alter, a more economical treatment<br />
may be found.<br />
By continuing the treatments, the program<br />
would protect a limited number of the stately<br />
N<br />
Elms which have been part of our heritage for a<br />
considerable number of years.<br />
ALTERNATIVE (2) "Inject all remaining healthy<br />
elms on City property"<br />
Based on the present death rate for treated<br />
elms, the City estimates by the end of 1981,<br />
760 trees would disappear. This alternative<br />
would protect the maximum number of trees.But at<br />
the current death rate all trees would be dead<br />
and removed within 30 years.<br />
ALTERNATIVE (3)"Discontinue injection of City<br />
Elms and use the funds normally provided for<br />
the injection program to increase the tree replacement<br />
program."<br />
Il<br />
The City expects to remove 15700 trees from<br />
City property this year, due to death. However<br />
1,400 replacement trees will be planted.<br />
The Dept. of Physical Environment is convinced<br />
that further expenditures on the program will<br />
only delay the inevitable demise of all local<br />
Elms and has recommended that the third alternative<br />
be followed.<br />
