Parents: Show more concern about drugs<br />
The sociologists and historians of the future will scratch their<br />
heads in confusion and disgust as their research will reveal to them<br />
that the parents of <strong>1980</strong> were willing to sign petitions, form interest<br />
groups, make recommendations, badger elected representatives and beseige<br />
school boards about any perceived, actual or future threat to<br />
their children's health education and welfare - but allowed drug dealers<br />
to exploit those same children with barely a murmur of protest.<br />
Absenteeism, drop-outs and classroom interruptions have prompted the<br />
Ottawa Board of Education and some Parent Advisory Committees to embark<br />
on a drug familiarization program for parents. In October, the parents<br />
of the 1700 students at <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate were invited to a drug education<br />
forum featuring police and social service representatives...about<br />
30 parents and students attended. The OBE, as a Continuing Education<br />
course, offered two eight-hour, 12-person seminar courses on drug<br />
education for parents, receiving additional publicity via an article<br />
in the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>..five parents signed up. A dismal reflection on<br />
parental concern.<br />
To be forewarned is to be fore-armed. The parent who familiarizes<br />
him/herself with the forms and effects of illegal drugs, before his/her<br />
child is exposed, can develop personal policy, give the child guidance,<br />
and recognize usage fairly quickly. (Bear in mind that children are<br />
now exposed to drugs by 10 years of age.) Attendance at a drug education<br />
forum or seminar Coes NOT imply that your child is involved with<br />
drugs. In fact, one of the most effective deterrents to drug use is a<br />
child's knowledge that a parent cares enough to become informed about<br />
drugs.<br />
Knowledgeable parents armed with indignation and working as a group<br />
can be effective in curbing illegal drug traffic among school children.<br />

By Ellen Schowaltei<br />
Opened October 15, <strong>1980</strong> by Anthony Leaning<br />
and Robert Fromm, two young graduate architects<br />
trained at Carleton University, The Architecture<br />
Book Store promises to be a sort of architectural<br />
community centre. Located at 116 Third Avenue<br />
near Bank Street(ph. 233-7654), the store is a<br />
former stable renovated by Leaning and Fromm.<br />
The front half of the building contains the book<br />
store, the rear half is their work space.<br />
Architectural arcana and a wide range of books<br />
dealing with every aspect of man's habitat fill<br />
the shelves. Books on log cabins, solar greenhouses,<br />
urban planning, drawing, design, the<br />
history and philosophy of Architecture as well<br />
as books for the do-it-yourselfer are available.<br />
the walls not covered with books will be a gallery<br />
space showing work by local and muci.ational<br />
architects and designers.<br />
Fromm and Leaning are available to do renovations,<br />
additions and consulting. Well-qualified<br />
and willing to advise on building and de-.<br />
sign, they hope to act as a catalyst and clearing<br />

Possible reprieve for First Ave. School<br />
by David Bouse<br />
First Avenue School may be saved after all, according to Barry James,<br />
head of the campaign promoting renovation of the existing building.<br />
The Board of Education's recent decision to establish a second<br />
Ward French immersion centre at Hopewell Avenue School next fall has<br />
given his campaign a substantial advantage. Prior to October 15, the<br />
"new" First Avenue School would have required at least 20 classrooms to<br />
accommodate a growing student population from the <strong>Glebe</strong>, Ottawa South,<br />
When the Board decided that the "new" First Avenue School would be<br />
essentially the same size as the present building, the "Save First<br />
Avenue School Campaign" immediately approached the Board and asked them<br />
to reconsider their earlier decision to demolish and rebuild. This<br />
request for reconsideration was made because no apparent reason could be<br />
found for not renovating the existing building.<br />
Following Mr. James' request, on October 20 the Board Management Committee<br />
resolved with one dissenting vote to look at an updated comparison<br />
of costs between renovation and reconstruction. On October 29,<br />
and economic value of existing buildings." And,<br />
the City of Ottawa, Dept. of Community Development<br />
notes, "First Avenue School is a major landmark<br />
in its turn-of-the-century neighbourhood,<br />
and worthy of protection."<br />
Energy efficiency is a<br />
prime consideration<br />
and Ottawa East. By not busing in 150 students from Ottawa South and Another claim used by the Board in favour of<br />
letting them stay at Hopewell, the Board has saved in excess of $500,000 demolition was energy efficiency. That too<br />

according to Chris Bartle, Board Planning Officer. It also will enable the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of<br />
many more students, both from the <strong>Glebe</strong> and Ottawa South, to attend<br />
litres of gasoline to provide new materials<br />
schools in their own communities.<br />
for a building the size of First Avenue School.<br />
Who then, favours demolition and reconstruc-<br />
Renovation versus demolition tion? Not the parents' representatives who<br />
the Board also resolved to formally reconsider their decision to demolish<br />
the present building, as soon as the new comparison of costs was avail- cussion by the Board Management Committee on<br />

figures by <strong>November</strong> 17.<br />
and solidly supporting our case for renovation,<br />
In the meantime, support for renovation is coming from the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
we hope to ensure<br />
Corn-<br />
a decision which provides the<br />
munity Association, the First Avenue Home and School, the Ottawa<br />

contact Barry James, 233-2051 or Bruce Rosove<br />
concerning the fate of the school.<br />
232-1300.<br />
More and more people are realizing that almost all of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong><br />
claims of the<br />
residents favoring renovation rather<br />
Board in favour of demolition<br />
than<br />
are unfounded. It appears now that renovademolition<br />

It is unlikely that a new structure would be able to provide<br />
d.<br />
the satisfactory quality for the students at a comparable cost.<br />
As Heritage Canada points out... "people recognize the social, cultural,<br />
voted on the First Avenue School User's Committee,<br />
not the <strong>Glebe</strong> Association, not a<br />
majority of the citizens,in fact, not very<br />
many people at all, outside of a handful who<br />
find First Avenue less than splendid in appear-<br />
ance. It is the position of the Save First<br />

rationale to destroy the present<br />
school and start over.<br />

Mutchmor news<br />
The Mutchmor All-Star Soccer Team has been declared the Ottawa Board<br />
of Education soccer champions after winning the annual fall tournament<br />
for elementary schools. Four teachers and 70 children participated in<br />
the 30 noon hour and after-four games that preceded the tournament.<br />
Four teams of grade five and six boys and girls are now involved in<br />
house league volleyball games after school.<br />
Construction work on the new gymnasium is proceeding on schedule.<br />
The foundations have already been poured and some preliminary plumbing<br />
installed. During <strong>November</strong>, the stage in the present gym will be<br />
removed and a partition erected to provide a passageway to the new<br />
addition. The present gym will, therefore, be even more reduced in size.<br />
Mary Sproule, kindergarten teacher and co-ordinator of the volunteer<br />
program, organized an evening workshop on <strong>November</strong> 5 to outline the<br />
responsibilities of being a volunteer. Forty-three parents have offered<br />
to help out as regular volunteers. Call the school at 563-2267 if you<br />
would like to get involved.<br />
Friday, <strong>November</strong> 21 and Monday, <strong>November</strong> 24 are scheduled as parentteacher<br />
interview days. The first report card will be issued just prior<br />
to the interview dates.<br />

Dear Members,<br />
Yes, members! Even if you haven't paid your dues this year (nat<br />
would be hard to do, because we don't presently levy annual member<br />
ships!), you are a member of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Neighbourhood Activities Group<br />
(GNAG) if you live or operate a business in the boundaries of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong>. Membership in GNAG (pronounced variously GEE-nag, and just<br />
NAG, as in gnat, husband/wife) gives you a voice to and a vote for<br />
your Executive, a body of 12 members who at present are concerned<br />
primarily with booking and organizing activities in the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community<br />
Centre (GCC) and adjacent areas in co-operation with GCC staff.<br />
Review of GNAG mandate<br />
Constitutionally, GNAG's mandate is to:<br />
a) 'provide...a means in a partnership with the City of Ottawa,<br />
Recreation and Parks, to develop policies with respect to the programming<br />
and operation of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre;'<br />
h) 'promote and encourage the development of a diversified program<br />
of services and activities both within and outside the Community<br />
Centre which meet the needs and interests of the community residents;'<br />
'...encourage the fullest utilization of all the facilities and<br />
resources of the community to meet these community needs;' (this surely<br />
means YOU among other resources!)<br />
'...co-ordinate objectives and activities with other organizations<br />
in the community and throughout the city;'<br />
'to provide a body through which the people of the community can<br />
serve their own needs and maintain active communications with each<br />
other.<br />
When this large and very attractive facility was opened as a community<br />
centre five years ago, the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association (GCA)<br />
wisely decided not to establish a committee within its own structure<br />
(as was common practice throughout the city) to co-ordinate activities.<br />
Instead, GNAG was separately established as a non-profit corporation<br />
with the specific goals listed above. Together with the City's<br />
Community Development Branch, innovative programmes such as the preschool<br />
portion of the summer camp, Professional Development Days for<br />
students, a Pentry, and an upgraded After Four Programme have been<br />
designed and tested at this centre and now are prototypes for similar<br />
prigrammes elsewhere in Ottawa.<br />
The Group also reviews requests for booking space with City staff,<br />
and priority<br />
given to neighbourhood meetings and activities (which<br />
must be open to others in the community and city.)<br />
Centre houses two "firsts"<br />
The Parents Pre-school Play Group which operates five days a week<br />
from the centre was established and is operated by a caring and wellorganized<br />
group of parents from the <strong>Glebe</strong>. The GCA and the GLEBE<br />
REPORT have office space in the Centre, and the <strong>Glebe</strong> Day Care Centre<br />
operates from this building's basement. The latter two were 'firsts'<br />
in community centres in Ottawa.<br />
Funds made on one project are earmarked to finance high costs of<br />
recognized service projects provided for the community. These services<br />
include scholarships for courses, After Four, and summer camps; and<br />
no-charge meeting spaces.<br />
The <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association, on the other hand, represents the<br />
commuility on a much broader scale. It is concerned with property,<br />
traffic, parks, zoning, and planning and development of the physical<br />
and environmental aspects of the <strong>Glebe</strong> and a liaison on behalf of the<br />
community with the City Council.<br />

To ensure co-ordination, representatives of<br />
the two bodies are exchanged, so that we may advise<br />
each other on items of common interest or<br />
shared experise; but we are two different and<br />
distinct co-operating bodies.<br />
Do, by all means, remember to renew your GCA<br />
membership; do attend and feel free to:book<br />
community meetingsat the GCC; and do tell your<br />
GNAG executive which events you wish to organize<br />
or hold at the Centre, or help to plan for the<br />
community.<br />
Fortunately, however you pronounce it, GNAG is<br />
hard to say without a smile. Do exercise your<br />
right and responsibility to ensure that its programmes<br />
and services continue to move in a positive<br />
direction:<br />

Milks and Merry Men make Magic Mondays<br />

The Magic Kerchief<br />
If the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre suddenly disappears one evening, it just<br />
may be the work of magician John Milks and his class of magicians-in-themaking.<br />
Many marvelous feats are performed there on Monday evenings:<br />
John, who has another job during the days, is a semi-professional magician<br />
who would dearly love to concentrate on magic full-time. His interest<br />
developed five years ago when he was given a book for Christmas. Since<br />
then, it has become his passion. He works most often with children--at<br />
the classes and at birthday parties--and his fondness for them is apparent.<br />
He directs the class with a mixture of pizzaz and the implied threat that<br />
any troublemaker may find himself under a horrible magic spell.<br />
John encourages the boys to develop self-confidence and public speaking<br />
abilities by preparing tricks to perform for the audience of peers<br />
each week. These may be tricks he has shown earlier, or new ones they<br />
have learned on their own (or from their Dads).<br />
The class which I attended consisted of boys between the ages of 8 and<br />
12 who were well beyond the beginner stage of the other class. They were<br />
good: Coins and cards vanished, nails bent under the concentrated gaze<br />
of an 8 year old, scarves fluttered and capes swished.<br />
Try as I might, I could not make the men of magic reveal any trade<br />
secrets (apart from John's telephone number which is 729-5584). Finally,<br />
I climbed on my broom and flew out the window.<br />

Giebe <strong>Report</strong> <strong>November</strong> page 10<br />
Insulation really works for <strong>Glebe</strong> homes<br />
by<br />
Barry Kiefl<br />
For the past three years we've been steadily imprevin<br />
the insulation standards and incorporating other heat<br />
saving measures into our Second Avenue home. After rol -<br />
ing the major recommendations of government and industry,<br />
the fuel savings have been significant and fuel consumption<br />
has been reduced by some 60 per cent;in the 1979-80 heating<br />
season only 365 gallons of fuel were used by the<br />
home's forced-air oil furnace.<br />
Most home owners are dubious about any real savings to<br />
be had from "retrofitting" an older home, and are probably<br />
concerned about after-effects: stories of poisonous fumes<br />
(usually associated with foam-type insulation), cracked<br />
walls, unsightly exterior changes, excess moisture resulting<br />
in wood rot, poor ventilation, and stale air are all<br />
common but none of these problems have arisen in this case.<br />
By using Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation -approved<br />
materials, researching a bit of the theory and methods of<br />
application, and carefully overseeing the contractor we<br />
used to "blow" insulation into the exterior walls, there<br />
have been no negative effects. There has been one major<br />
surprise, the added comfort of cozy rooms. Before insulation,o7_<br />
a cold morning the second floor bedrooms were uncomfo-_-Lable;<br />
i-ce used to form on the electric wall sockets<br />
and leave puddles on the floor but now the home is warm<br />
throughout.<br />
The house is a two-storey, stucco, 3-bedroom home, with<br />
full basement and is approximately 1500 square feet. The<br />
furnace is the original fuel-oil furnace installed 15 or<br />
more years ago and is probably the last improvement that<br />
could be made to the heating system. No other heating<br />
source is used except the wood-burning fireplace found in<br />
many <strong>Glebe</strong> homes (actually the fireplace usually ends up<br />
cooling off the upper regions of the house by drawing in<br />
cold outside air.).<br />
The house faces north-south so the winter sun adds heat<br />
through south facing windows-last year a full-length<br />
_riple-glazed glass door was installed in the southernexposed<br />
kitchen adding welcome light as well as heat on<br />
sunny days. The north-facing windows, including a large<br />
bay window, are all heat-losers; most of the double windows<br />
are old-fashioned wood storms, well caulked and tight<br />
fitting. All interior windows have copper weather-stripping,<br />
which provides a satisfactory air-seal. A storm<br />
door was added to the front entrance two years ago and<br />
since then we've also been turning down the thermostat at<br />
night. But it was when insulation was added to basement,<br />
walls and attic that heat savings were really noticed.<br />
Insulating an attic is a relatively simple affair which<br />
most handymen can do in a few hours and it's where most<br />
people begin. However, by starting here you can inad-<br />
vertently block access to walls which you may want to in- and the attic was further fortified, consumption dropped<br />
sulate later. Upon first examining the attic I found that to approximately 365 gallons, a savings of more than 60<br />
there was really no insulation at all in the home. Just ;per cent compared with the pre-insulation years. Of<br />
before the 1977-78 heating season I added about 50 bags of icourse, many factors are at play, including the amount of<br />
loose-pouring vermiculite insulation, which I later learned Isun in a given winter and variations in house temper-<br />
had a relatively low R-value (heat "resistance" rating) of<br />
only about R-2 per inch of material; and it takes a large<br />
number of bags to cover a small area making it quite expensive.<br />
That was the year before the federal government',<br />
Canadian Home Insulation Program (CHIP) came into existence<br />
which now offers insulation grants of up to $500 for<br />
materials and labor on houses built before 1961.<br />
The next stage, at the beginning of the 1978-79 heating<br />
season, was to insulate basement walls. This was accom-<br />
plished by using 2x4 wood studs to hold friction-fit fibreglass<br />
batts of R-12 and R-20 dation; the higher rated<br />
insulation was used in the upper part of walls where heat<br />
loss is greatest. Polyethyi,n,_, plastic film, acting as a<br />
vapour barrier, was applied to both sides of the insulation<br />
although a vapour barrier is normally used only on the inside<br />
surface of insulation; the basement walls were often<br />
damp and the plastic film will keep the insulation dry.<br />
Afterwards the studs were covered with drywall and panelling<br />
and the basement was finished as a playroom for the<br />
children.<br />
Also at the start of the 1978-79 season a contractor wa,<br />
employed to blow fibreglass insulation into the exterior<br />
walls. The walls had about a 4-inch uninterrupted air space<br />
between the two stories that could be filled with insulation;<br />
blown fibreglass was used because it has a high R-<br />
value and it is not susceptible to water damage. It can<br />
be more costly and difficult to apply than the other<br />
commonly used blown insulation, cellulose fibre.<br />
Having insulation blown into the walls brings up visions<br />
of messy holes drilled into inside plaster walls<br />
ot bricks removed on outer walls but in this case most<br />
of the wall cavities were filled from the attic, avoiding<br />
any mess at all. However, this method can't be<br />
used to reach the wall space below windows, so 2' holes<br />
were drilled in the window wells (later repaired with<br />
wood doweling) and therefore no drilling was done in any<br />
wall surface.<br />
The homeowner should check to ensure there are no<br />
obstructions in the wall cavity and that the contractor<br />
fills each space between wall studs; in January or February<br />
you can actually feel cold wall surfaces in the<br />
areas missed. Hold back some portion of the payment<br />
until the cold weather comes and make sure the contract<br />
stipulates the amount of insulation to be blown into<br />
the wall -- ask for a refund if the full amount isn't<br />
used. We also got a written guarantee that in the first<br />
year we would use at least 30 per cent less fuel than<br />
the previous year.<br />
The contractor also finished the job I had begun of<br />
insulating the attic, although I decided later to add<br />
still more R-20 fibre glass batts (1979-80 heating<br />
season), bringing the attic up to approximately R-40<br />
value. The contractor also installed air vents in the<br />
roof, for releasing moisture-laden air. A true vapour<br />
barrier, which keeps inside moist air from passing<br />
through walls into insulation, is desirable but isn't<br />
usually feasible in a retro-fit. All exterior plaster<br />
walls and ceilings were, however, painted with a special<br />
vapour-barrier paint.<br />
What were the results? The table shows fuel consumption<br />
in the home for the past five heating seasons. In 1975-<br />
76 and 1976-77, before any insulation or other heat saving<br />
measures wereinstalled, almost 1000 gallons of fuel<br />
were used each year; and according to the weather bureau<br />
these winters were not substantially colder or warmer<br />
than succeeding years. The relative coldness of a winter<br />
heating season is measured by "heating degree days"(HDD)<br />
which is the average of the maximum and the minimum<br />
temperature each day subtracted from a constant and<br />
added up for the year. Last heating season, which<br />
seemed warmer than average, was actually colder than the<br />
previous year, 4,855 HDD compared with 4,777 HDD in 78-79.<br />
In 1977-78, when insulation was installed in only a<br />
portion of the attic, the fuel consumption dropped by<br />
about 100 gallons. In the 1978-79 season, when the walls<br />
and the basement were insulated, the fuel consumption<br />
decreased by 555 gallons. Then, last year, when the<br />
areas in the walls missed the previous year were insulated<br />
ature, but in general our insulation program has be-r a<br />
gleat success.<br />

The coming winter should see some of the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Development Plan recommendations brought<br />
into place at Dow's Lake. The Executive<br />
Committee of the Regional Municipality has<br />
passed City council's recommendations that:<br />
a) "the region consider installing pedestrian<br />
controlled lights or similar devices on<br />
Bronson between 2nd and 3rd Ave" - to be undertaken<br />
by the Transportation department as part<br />
ot their <strong>1980</strong> Priority Review Program.<br />
h) "the Bronson/Carling intersection be<br />
improved to increase its efficiency for cars<br />
and pedestrians" - construction is expected<br />
in 1981 on the south-west corner to increase<br />
efficiency of eastbound to southbound right<br />
turns.<br />
c) "the left turn from northbound on Bronson<br />
to westbound on Sunset Blvd. be prohibited<br />
during rush hours" - to be implemented for a<br />
1 year trial period.<br />
The recommendations re:crosswalks across,<br />
and left turn prohibitions from, the Queen<br />
Elizabeth Driveway seem to have disappeared<br />
and will require deliberate follow-up at City<br />
Hall and NCC Headquarters.<br />

To the rest of us grief is very bad. And very real.<br />
Because grief brought on by death, divorce, or<br />
serious illness is no laughing matter.<br />
Where do you go when you can't cope with your<br />
troubles? Well, we know Somebody who's used<br />
to handling big problems. And He's used to comforting<br />
the people who halze them. Nothing's too<br />
big for a personal God who really cares.<br />
We believe that a personal relationship with God<br />
does a lot more than console you. It gives new<br />
hope and meaning to life. A life that doesn't end<br />
with death.<br />
Wouldn't it be nice to know Somebody who's<br />
bigger than your troubles?<br />

Local stores offer personal service<br />
fruit and groceries is another small local<br />
establishment. Over 25 years old, Wong's is run by<br />
Gordon Wang who, of four brothers, was th2 one to<br />
stay and run the business as, one by one, his brothers<br />
grew up and moved away. Gordon Wong lives in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> with hisfamily. He stayed here because<br />
he enjoys the grocery business and likes helping<br />
his customers.<br />
Aladdin's Pet Shop has been in business for 26<br />
years, 23 of them in the <strong>Glebe</strong>. Owned bY Otto<br />
FIegel, this store is well known all over the city,<br />
which Mrs. Flegel attributes to their comfortable<br />
atmosphere, reasonable prices and personal service.<br />
The Grand Old Guard Part II<br />
By Jan Brummel<br />
The years have passed...20, 30, 40 years and more. Tenants have come<br />
and gone; homes have changed hands, yet these businesses have stayed.<br />
The businessmen have emotional and physical ties with the <strong>Glebe</strong> and have<br />
been rewarded with a loyal clientele.<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Tailors and Furriers opened for business in 1942. Sam Nadolny<br />
started in a quiet way. Material was hard to get at that time so Mr.<br />
Nadolny offered just the service of tailoring. Now his business is much<br />
larger and will be expanding soon to include a wide selection of ladies'<br />
clothing.<br />
Mr. Nadolny was and is an active member in the <strong>Glebe</strong> Businessmen's<br />
Association. He remembers the clean-up weeks the Association used to<br />
sponsor. All the store owners would dress up in old clothes, sling some<br />
brooms over their shoulders and, with the help of a marching band, they<br />
would parade through the <strong>Glebe</strong>. This was a community effort to promote<br />
the cleaning up of front yards and streets. Sam Nadolny hopes that a<br />
revitalized G.B.A. will be able to organize special community events like<br />
this again. Mr. Nadolny will remain with GLEBE TAILORS until he retires.<br />
At that time, six year partner and owner Lou Strolovitch will take over<br />
the business.<br />
A.J. Silverman of Rideau Upholstery established his business in 1931<br />
on Rideau Street. Twenty-six years ago, however, he moved to the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
because he liked the area. His store has changed little in those 26 years<br />
but continues to attract customers from all over the city with quality<br />
,,-orkmanship.<br />
Broder Electric has been around the <strong>Glebe</strong> since 1931. Fred Broder's<br />
Eather first worked out of his home and later, in 1945, he took over the<br />
store on Bank Street. It is a small outlet store and Fred Broder keeps it<br />
a quiet, unobtrusive place.<br />
Thomas Studio was opened 40 years ago by T.M.<br />
Thomas. When he retired his son Vincent took over<br />
but Vincent decided to sell the business. The store<br />
changed hands but was finally sold to someone who<br />
was already convinced of THOMAS STUDIO's worth and<br />
viability.<br />
In 1942 THOMAS STUDIO took the wedding photographs<br />
of Bert Rushton and As wife. In 1951, Mr. Rushton<br />
began work in the store. The studio's name was kept<br />
and with it was retained the intimacy and patronage of<br />
the place. In 1967 Gary Rushton, son of Bert, bought<br />
the store and, since Bert Rushton passed away,<br />
Gary has worked in the Studio with the aid and<br />
assistance of his mother.<br />
These are our stores, our businessmen. Each<br />
store is individually owned and operated. The<br />
owners know many of us on a first name basis and<br />
cater to a dependable, returning clientele. For<br />
that reason they stress friendliness in their<br />
staff and quality in their merchandise. A salute<br />

In 1939 International Craft Shoe Repair was<br />
owned by McConnell's but Bill Moskluk was an employee.<br />
By 1955 when he bought the store he was<br />
already a firm <strong>Glebe</strong> fixture. His place has a<br />
barber shop conviviality about it. Customers and<br />
friends intermingle or, more likely than not, are<br />
one and the same. People will stop in just to exchange<br />
a few pleasantries and then go on their<br />
way.<br />
Bill Moskluk is almost 65 and is beginning to<br />
feel a bit tired out. Recently his store was<br />
closed for a couple of weeks; Bill was in the<br />
hospital "because my legs gave out." For this<br />
reason he would like to retire but if his customers<br />
have anything to say about it, he will never be<br />
allowed to go. Some have heard the rumours and<br />
are already stopping in to ask him to change his<br />
mind.<br />
It is not the first time the <strong>Glebe</strong> has been<br />
concerned about Bill Moskluk. Four years ago there<br />
was an accident. Mr. Moskluk's thumb was cut off<br />
while he was at work. Fast action and the help of<br />
a neighbour enabled hospital staff to sew the<br />
thumb back on. Good as new, Mr. Moskluk gave this<br />
reporter the thumbs up sign with two well-matched<br />
thumbs. Get well cards and phone calls poured<br />
into the hospital while he was there, resulting<br />
in a newspaper picture and write-up which Bill<br />
proudly keeps.<br />
Bill Moskluk doesn't look his age. He looks<br />
trim and full of physical energy. If and when<br />
he retires it will not be to a rocking chair. If<br />
and when he retires, Bill Noskluk will be missed.

Weavers' Guild draws crowd at Centre<br />
By Jinny Slyfield<br />
Judy Rygiel at her floor loom.<br />
Doug and Dini Cameron<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre visitors took a step backward in time the weekend of October 25-26. The Ottawa Valley Weavers<br />
Guild was holding its second annual exhibition and many of the exhibitors wore period costumes and displayed antique<br />
pieces of weaving and equipment.<br />
The majority of exhibitors sell from their homes. Most begin by taking a few lessons but very quickly become "hooked"<br />
and go on to buy several looms and spinning wheels and branch out to knitting, wall hangings and crochet.<br />
One new member, Shirley Browsky was always interested in weaving but started only a year ago after restoring a log farm<br />
house near Rockland. "The house seemed to be crying out for a loom;' she said. Now she has 2 looms and 3 spinning wheels.<br />
Sometimes the entire family becomes involved. Her 2 sons, her daughter and her husband all help Dini Cameron of Ashton<br />
in te weaving process. They buy the wool either from the co-op at Carleton Place or local farmers, wash, comb, dye,<br />
spin and turn out handspun yarn in natural colours. Mrs. Cameron does spinning and weaving to order and designs and<br />
sells knitting patterns. She used about 80 fleeces last year.<br />
Judy Rygiel is the only Master Weaver in the guild. She first began taking lessons at the "Y" ten years ago and now<br />
teaches there herself. She owns 11 looms and specializes in garments, large bedspreads, and blankets.<br />
One display was set up especially to attract potential weavers. Several looms were available to "try-it-out". Children<br />
especially were interested in adding to the table runner on the table loom.<br />
The Guild is in its 32nd year and has 100 members. Meetings are at 7:30 n.m the First Monday each mcnth at the<br />
Devon,,hire Public School on Breezehill Avenue.<br />

THE<br />
ART PAGE<br />
ititith Jane Bower<br />
If you have been reading this art page for more than a<br />
year and a half, you will look again when you see Monica Pine<br />
in the heading. She is well-known for her 2-15 years of service<br />
to the GLEBE REPORT as art editor. Less well-known is the<br />
fact that she is also an artist. The Plant Gallery has just<br />
hosted a display of her flower studies and experiments in<br />
col our.<br />
"I am absolutely fascinated by every aspect of nature,<br />
the turn of eleaf, the drop of dew," says Monica Pine, and<br />
nature is the unifying subject of her exhibit. On one hand<br />
are detailed line drawings of flowers in pencil (and one in<br />
gouache.) On the other hand are brilliantly coloured<br />
abstract paintings, some on paper and some on masonite<br />
which evoke the moods of nature without being representational<br />
in any w, Abhorring acrylics, she paints wit0<br />
plastic enamels and adds colours in layers achieving a variety<br />
of effects.<br />
Central to the exhibit is her design for a stained glass<br />
window for St. Paul's United Church in Prescott. This unique<br />
piece blends both her interests in linear composition and in<br />
colour. Since the churCh has not yet been completed, the<br />
window has not yet been executed.<br />
Monica Pine was born in Surrey, England and working beside<br />
her father, the well-known Punch cartoonist, H.M.Bateman, she<br />
learned the art of drawing. After attending the Ruskin Art<br />
School in Oxford, she went to Paris to the Ecole des Beaux<br />
Arts for three years where she was exposed to very dramatic<br />
uses of colour. She spent one year in Italy painting with<br />
her father and then returned to England to St. Ives where she<br />
worked in the Penwith Gallery. There she had the stimulating<br />
experience of getting to know the sculptress, Barbara Hepworth,<br />
painter, Ben Nicolson, and potter, Bernard Leach.<br />
Then 25 years ago with her husband, Michael Pine, a<br />
sculptor (whose work has since been recognized at Expo '67)<br />
she came to Canada, a turning point in her life. Ottawa in<br />
the spring with muddy snow ab3unding was her first Canadian<br />
experience and she says she would have gladly taken the return<br />
boat if she could. "Staying here, I had to totally rethink<br />
space and reevaluate the influence of environment," she<br />
says. Thus began a child-raising period where art had to<br />
play a secondary role although she did find time to teach at<br />
the Ottawa School of Art.<br />
Lately Monica has been able to devote her full time to<br />
art in her spacious studio in her Powell St. home. Also she<br />
has more time for those issues she feels very strongly about:<br />
establishitg a municipal gallery for local artists and an<br />
art schoOl where students can work full time on art.<br />
Monica's studio will be open to the public on Nov 22 as<br />
part of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Studio Tour.<br />

Solar P's and O's<br />
Dr. James Bolton has tried like many solar researchers to find how<br />
to replicate the electrical action that takes place naturally in the<br />
chlorophyll of plants. With his group of research people at the<br />
University of Western Ontario, Bolton recently synthesized molecules<br />
known as P-Q's, composed of porphyrin and quinone. Tetraphenyl porphyrin<br />
replaces the actual chlorophyll molecule, but the electron-acceptor<br />
quinone is the same as in the natural cell. Stimulated by rays of<br />
light the P end of the molecule releases an electron to the Q end<br />
creating a charge like that in photosynthesis.<br />
Bolton predicts that we might soon be able to buy a roll of photovoltaic<br />
cell material and fit it to the size and shape of our roofs and<br />
power our homes at a cost of between $1,000 to $2,000.<br />
Phosphorous controls working<br />
In the last issue of the GLEBE REPORT, I wrote an article (Phosphates<br />
Still A Problem) in which I mentioned that sewage treatment plants can<br />
be designed to remove phosphates. Since then I have seen results of<br />
the use of these plants in removing phosphates. For instance, in the<br />
Bay of Quinte both phosphorus levels and algal growth have been substantially<br />
reduced as a result of phosphorus controls instituted at all<br />
the major sewage treatment plants since 1977.<br />
The most significant results reported by Environment Ontario were in<br />
Belleville.<br />
After implementing phosphorus controls in 1978, the<br />
densities of algae in weekly samplings were between 50 to 60 per cent<br />
lower.<br />

Ottawa is doing exceptionally well. In the<br />
first seven weeks of the program, nearly 900<br />
tons of paper had been collected. The city<br />
has already reached 60 per cent of its goal.<br />

Members of the club at lesson<br />
Regularly through the week a visitor to Brewer Pool off Bronson St.<br />
may see young men and women diligently swimming lengths. These are members<br />
of the Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club, the oldest and one of the largest<br />
swim clubs in the region.<br />
Brewer Pool hosts the Central swim team of Beginning, Junior and Intermediate<br />
swimmers, coached by Michelle Wilson. To join, a youngster over<br />
seven must be able to swim at least one length of the pool. In time, he<br />
or she may be chosen to join the ranks of the Senior team, 25 of the<br />
fastest swimmers in the Club. The Senior team also regularly trains at<br />
Brewer pool, spending 22 hours a week in workouts under the experienced<br />
eye of Coach Jay Huneke.<br />
Kingfish offers swimmers competitive training at all levels in various<br />
City pools. Competition with swimmers of comparable ability is encoura,ed<br />
at meets from the local to the national level.<br />
South Ottawa Soccer news<br />
Jack MacRae<br />
Plans are now being made for the 1981 season which may see an even<br />
greater number of players than this year. This creates a problem as<br />
coaches and managers are needed for all the levels of play provided by<br />
the club. South Ottawa, as a community club, draws from the parents<br />
of its players to fill these positions and so it loses a few each year<br />
as players advance from Youth to Sr. Soccer. This year we may be<br />
The winning Mutchmor soccer team.<br />
losing a few more due to other circumstances, so anyone interested will<br />
(L-R) Back row: M. DiPietrantonio, K. Corrigal, be welcomed. The season runs from May to October and the time required<br />
T. Serviss. Middle row: W. Hubbard, D. McKnight, is about 5 to 6 hours per week. If we don't get these volunteers a<br />
T. Georgiou, J. Cerilli. Front row: A. Weller, cut back in the number of teams will have to be made, which would be a<br />
T. Pantieras, V. Wong, S. MacRae backward step at a time when soccer is expanding so rapidly in Canada.<br />
Montreal and Calgary have been awarded entries in the NASL which<br />
brings the number of pro teamsin Canada up to five for next season.<br />
This gives young Canadians the chance to play with world famous<br />
players and the results of this are made obvious by the success of<br />
Canada's National Team in the first round of the World Cup VS the<br />
U.S. and Mexico.<br />
The NASL has decided to run an indoor league this fall and winter<br />
and four Canadian teams are involved. The Toronto Blizzard games<br />
will be broadcast on Global TV starting this month.<br />
The addition of soccer as a fall sport in the Ottawa and Carleton<br />
School systems has extended the competitive season for many players<br />
into <strong>November</strong>. Congratulations to the Mutchmor Public School team for<br />
wianing the championship in the <strong>1980</strong> Ottawa Public School tournament.<br />

Gentlemen and Boys Choir<br />
The Gentlemen and Boys Choir of St. Matthew's Church was founded<br />
some 21 years ago; and its reputation 'ha- grown rapidly under its<br />
three conductors, Gerald Wheeler, Brian Law and Richard Dacey. The<br />
choir has appeared several times at the National Arts Centre, on<br />
radio and television, and it also presents -a spring concert every<br />
year together with a professional orchestra.<br />
All these activities however, are in addition to the Choir's main<br />
function, which is to sing at the Church's two Sunday services - the<br />
10:00 a.m. Choral Eucharist and the 7:00 p.m. Choral Evensong. The<br />
Advent Carol Service (held on <strong>November</strong> 30 this year) and the Service<br />
of Nine Lessons and Carols (held on December 28 - both at 7 pm) are<br />
traditional occasions, attended by many people; but few realise that<br />
St. Matthew's is the only Church in Ottawa with an all-male choir<br />
singing the enormous repertoire of Liturgical music, in its proper<br />
setting throughout the year.<br />
The boys in the choir come from all over the city, and are between<br />
9 and <strong>14</strong> years old. They rehearse three times a week, on Tues. and<br />
Wed from 4:15 until 5:45pm and on Fridays, with the men from 7.00 -<br />
9.00 pm. The gentlemen, many of whom joined the choir as boys, give<br />
their services voluntarily, and rehearse on Friday evenings. In the<br />
New Year a preparatory choir of younger boys (ages 6-1--8) will be<br />
formed to act as a recruiting ground for the main choir. Any boy who<br />
enjoys singing will be welcome to attend one of two half-hourly<br />
sessions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 3:45. These classes will be<br />
free of charge and will include singing and ear-training using the<br />
Kodaly techniques to prepare boys for the main choir when they are old<br />
enough. If you would like your son to attend, call the Church Office,<br />
.NOW and get your name on the enrolment list (maximum of ten in each<br />
class). Saint Matthew's Anglican Church is situated in the <strong>Glebe</strong>, on<br />
the corner of Bank St and First Ave. For more information about the<br />
,her activities at the church, call 234-4024.<br />

FABRIC FACTS<br />
The properties of the fabrics that are used in fabrics<br />
greatly influence the behaviour of a finished garment.<br />
Cotton and Rayon are moisture-absorbent and<br />
contribute to comfort in a wide variety of apparel.<br />
Nylon is very tough and contributes to abrasion and<br />
wear resistance. Acetate is lustrous and contributes to<br />
elegance in dresses and lingerie and polyester is very<br />
wrinkle resistant and strong and contributes to<br />
washability and durability.<br />
Keep and hang tags that came with new clothing.<br />
Today's fabrics and blends are made in such a great<br />
variety of weaves, dyes and finishes that they<br />
sometimes create a difficult identification task. Hang<br />
tags can be helpful to you and your drycleaner.<br />
Always look for care labels. Most garments are<br />
drycleanable. But there are exceptions that create<br />
unavoidable trouble. You can expect any garment to<br />
be drycleanable unless its care label warns that it is<br />
not.<br />

School debate continues<br />
o<br />
ti<br />
ft<br />
The most active issue before the G.C.A. this past month has been the<br />
continuing debate over First Avenue School. The G.C.A. executive<br />
passed a motion in September supporting the renovation of the school.<br />
We conveyed this position to the School Board verbally at two Board<br />
meetings, in writing and through personal contact with various trustees.<br />
We also brought up the issue at the all candidates meeting for school<br />
trustees, in the <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />
The School Board, in response to input from the G.C.A., the Home<br />
and School Association and other groups have taken two-decisions.<br />
They have requested an updated costing of renovation and passed a<br />
motion to reconsider renovation when the revised costs are available<br />
in early December. At that time when the Board makes it decision, we<br />
will request that the G.C.A. be represented on a re-structured User's<br />
Committee to assist in the completion of plans for whichever option<br />
has been chosen.<br />
GCA seeks members<br />
One of the matters raised at the School Board meetings (concerning<br />
First Avenue School) waè the question of who the Community Association<br />
represents. We were glad to be able to say we have well over 2000<br />
members in <strong>1980</strong>.<br />
Our 1981 membership drive is now in full swing and you have probably<br />
already been asked to renew your membership or to consider joining for<br />
the first time. The Association has been able to speak effectively<br />
in the past, but our continued strength depends on a large and varied<br />
membership. An 'inner-city' neighbourhood such as the <strong>Glebe</strong>, in con-<br />
trast to a pre-planned suburban community, needs to work together to<br />
preserve its identity and character.<br />
The executive meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m.<br />
in the Community Centre. The meetings are open to the community. For<br />
information on any meeting or on the Association in general please call<br />
either of the Vice-presidents (Roger Short 234-1371, Kathy Morris<br />
238-2578) or write to the G.C.A., P.O. Box 4058 Station E.<br />

Christ-Roi celebrates fiftieth year<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> eport <strong>November</strong> page 21<br />
In the Ch rches<br />
Father Faucher stands before 50-year old church.<br />
By Mary Ahearn<br />
<strong>November</strong> marks a half-century of existence for the Parish of Christ<br />
Roi, the small Catholic Church on Argyle Street that serves the French<br />
community from Parliament Hill to the <strong>Glebe</strong> and on to the Rideau River.<br />
Nestled unobtrusively in the shadow of McLeod-Stewarton Church on Bank<br />
St., Christ-Roi "Chapel" was meant to be a temporary beginning to a<br />
larger structure. The term "Christ the King" recognizes the primacy of<br />
Christ in social and spiritual matters and stresses the values of justice<br />
and equality in our economic and political lives. "A very regal<br />
name for the smallest Church in town," according to Father Jacques<br />
-,nicher, who has been its parish priest for the past seven years.<br />
Rectory purchased in 1930<br />
Back in 1930, a number of French-speaking families petitioned Bishop<br />
Forbes of Ottawa for their right to be served in a neighbourhood church<br />
and school in their own language. The diocese bought the large house<br />
adjacent to the future Church: it proved a very prudent move. It has<br />
served as rectory and apartment for the priest, and the three rental units<br />
help to maintain the Church. Even the hot water heating syStem runs underground<br />
to warm both buildings. The Bishop sent a priest to solidify<br />
the nucleus of the parish and in February 1930 the first mass was celebrated<br />
in a rented store on Bank St., now the home of "Rainbow Glass".<br />
A community spirit evolved and in October 1930, six short months after<br />
sod.turning, the Church was completed. This was the height of the Dep-<br />
ressiop--labour was cheap and there was mass unemployment. The Church was<br />
built 'for an astonishing $30,000:<br />
A one-classroom school was housed in the basement of the Church.<br />
Christ-RoiSchool was to parallel the fortunes of Centretown: because of<br />
the baby boom, the basement classrooms grew until double shifts coule no<br />
longer accommodate the students. Christ-Roi School was built behind the<br />
Church on Catherine St. The students moved their own desks there in<br />
January 1955. The exodus from Centretown to the suburbs closed the doors<br />
of the school 18 years later (1973). A warehouse is now in the School<br />
building. Church records show the peak also--in 1963, there were 50 bap-<br />
tisms and 12 marriages, compared to two and seven in 1930.<br />
An active parish<br />
Over the years, the Church has been an identification point for the<br />
hundreds of Franco-Ontarians in the downtown area. The parishioners<br />
have been very active in cultural and community life under the leadership<br />
of Father Faucher. In the true Christian fashion, they responded<br />
to the needs of the dozens of Vietnamese families, lodged in the Alexandra<br />
Hotel, who fled to Canada after the fall of Saigon in April 1975.<br />
For six months, Christ-Roi basement became a depot for used clothing and<br />
furniture for these refugees in a crisis situation, until government<br />
services rallied to their aid. Later on, in Project 4,000, they sponsored<br />
three Cambodian young people, who are now self-sufficient. Once<br />
a month, a Vietnamese priest from Montreal says a mass at Christ-Roi<br />
for the refugee community.<br />
Father Faucher finds himself very busy reaching out to the diverse<br />
peoples of the Ottawa Core--saying mass for the blind at the CNIB Hall,<br />
for the elderly at MacLaren Flouse, and visiting the hidden poor in various<br />
rooming houses in the area. In keeping with the ecumenical movement,<br />
the enthusiastic clergyman has "exchanged pulpits" with the minister<br />
from neighbouring McLeod-Stewarton Church.<br />
On <strong>November</strong> 23, the feast of Christ the King, Father Faucher, Bishop<br />
Plourde and the former parish priests of Christ-Roi will concelebrate<br />
a mass to mark its half-century . The Parish welcomes all present, past<br />
and would-be parishioners to celebrate with them.<br />

LEGAL NOTES<br />
By Frank Oakes<br />
Renaissance of Hitman's Bakery<br />
When we moved to Ottawa 12 years ago, Hitsman's Bakery on Bank Street<br />
in Ottawa South was a regular stop for me. Alas, the retail operation<br />
closed a couple of years later and the bakery became a catering opera-<br />
tion and drapery store.<br />
I had to find a new baker.<br />
As it turned out, I also found whole wheat bread, and all that goes<br />
with it, but I never forgot that marvelous, heavy, white Hitsman's loaf,<br />
and I even considered having Hitsman's cater a bread party for me just<br />
so I could order 100 loaves and stash them away in my freezer.<br />
Well, now they're open again in the same location, and the white<br />
loaf (as well as brown, raisin, rye, etc.) is once again for sale.<br />
Who cares if it's triple the price - there are some things you just<br />
can't live without.<br />
The retail bakery is just part of Hitsman's new public presence.<br />
They've also opened an excellent little restaurant serving a range of<br />
tasty lunch items, including a daily soup (.69), hamburgers (1.64) hot<br />
dogs (.69), quiche, and did you think I'd never say it, sandwiches on<br />
Hitsman's own bread ($1.49 - $2.59).<br />
Tom and I dropped in one Saturday recently in the midst of our usual<br />
weekend flurry and it was like stepping back into the serene past when<br />
there was time to spare, when a loaf cost 28 cents, and when we didn't<br />
feel guilty about eating refined flour.<br />
Back to the good old days<br />
We relived the good old days that Saturday and brazenly ordered not<br />
one but two salmon salad and egg salad sandwiches on white. Absolutely<br />
delicious - what can I say?<br />
We also had chicken soup, chock-full of chicken pieces and just<br />
greasy enough to be wickedly good. To top it all off, we had Hitsman's<br />
donuts and coffee. We could have had any number of delectable sweets,<br />
but we didn't think our re-conditioned bodies could take too much<br />
goodness.<br />
Hitsman's is open every day, Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m.-<br />
7:00 p.m., Sunday from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. to tempt you. The service<br />
is cafeteria style, the premises are attractive and immaculate as<br />
befits a bakery.<br />
And don'. i,aJt without buying a loaf.<br />

Who owns your home?<br />
Not a simple question anymore under the new<br />
Family Law Reform Act. Until the inception of<br />
the Act in March, 1978 the owner was the<br />
person named on the Deed registered in the<br />
Registry Office. Not anymore.<br />
Now, regardless of whether the husband or<br />
wife is the registered owner, the new Act<br />
states as a basic premise that the matrimonial<br />
home is owned equally by them both. The Act<br />
goes on to state that where an equal division<br />
of ownership would appear to a Judge to be<br />
unfair, he may make any other division deemed<br />
appropriate. The result has been in many cases<br />
that although the Deed to the matrimonial<br />
home was registered jointly or in the husband's<br />
name, a Judge on separation or divorce<br />
.<br />
directed that title to the home, whenever purchased,<br />
be vested permanently in the wife.<br />
The above rule also applies to household<br />
contents and any other family assets.<br />
After many years of inequity, the law has<br />
finally come to recognize a wife's contribution.<br />
Under the new approach, a Judge has<br />
absolute discretion to distribute family<br />
assets between spouses according to what seems<br />
fair, no matter what the actual ownership<br />
states. Guidelines given to the court include<br />
such factors as the length of the marriage,<br />
the spouses'ages and their contributions to the<br />
marriage (including homemaking and childcare).<br />
If you are considering a separation there is<br />
more fine print you should be aware of, for notwithstanding<br />
who owns the home, the Judge can<br />
direct that one spouse have exclusive possession<br />
together with all contents for life or any<br />
lesser period and is likely to do so where one<br />
spouse has custody of young children.<br />
It is obvious to you by now that the question<br />
of who owns "your" home is no longer easily<br />
answered. It may not be you.<br />
