Burglaries reported in Glebe 

Reports from several Glebe 

residents confirm the continuing 

incidence in the area of 

petty crime house -breaking, 

purse-snatching and the like. 

Staff Inspector George Zhukow, 

Head of Detectives of the Ottawa 

Police, says people should be 

alert and report suspicious behaviour 

immediately. 

What is suspicious behaviour? 

By Belinda Silberman 

Record cold temperatures and 

icy roads are making Glebe snow 

removal a big job this winter. 

Dave Curry, director of City 

Operations, says "It has been 

one of the most difficult winters 

to control." 

He says it snowed almost every 

day in December and despite the 

fact the City salted the roads regularly, 

they were still slippery 

and ice-covered. 

Under most conditions, Curry 

says, salt won't work when the 

temperature drops below -10 degrees 

Celcius. He also says 

there's no product available that 

the City can use to melt ice when 

it rains before a snowstorm. 

The worst areas in the Glebe, 

says Curry, are some of the side 

streets like First to Fourth Avenues, 

and many of the roads east 

of Bank Street. 

None are cleared to the bare 

pavement, he says,. 

According to Curry, the City 

used up about half of the $5.7 

million budgeted for snow removal 

last year during November 

and December. 

This figure covered the clearing, 

salting, sanding and plowing 

of roads, which was done by City 

Loitering around a house, or sitting 

in a parked car for a long 

time, or walking up and down 

lanes and driveways. Residents 

have told of strangers ringing 

their doorbells, presumably to 

find out if anyone is home. Or 

when residents answer the phone 

the caller hangs up. 

Inspector Zhukow says that 

citizens should call the police 

immediately if they find a stran- 

ger acting suspiciously. The police 

welcome all calls and do not 

resent false alarms. They try 

to come to the scene immediately. 

The police increase the number 

of patrols of plainclothes officer s 

in any area in proportion to the 

growth of petty crime. 

Above all, the Staff-Inspector 

stresses that to prevent crime 

neighbours should be neighbourlyand 

alert. 

Fifth Ave. Court 

sold to Minto 


Fifth Avenue Court has been 

sold, leaving mall merchants uncertain 

about their leasing agreement 

s. 

The 35-store complex was 

secretly bought by Minto Management 

from Fifth Avenue Realty 

on Dec. 1. 

However, the change of ownership 

was not announced to Court 

merchants until almost a week 

later when mall-developer Phil 

Waserman called a meeting and 

introduced new owner Lawrence 

Greenberg of Minto. 

It came as "kind of a surprise" 

says Mike Blanchard, owner and 

manager of Grandma Lee's in 

the mall. 

But he says Minto, which is 

essentially a residential builder 

with some commercial holdings, 

is a "large company with money." 

He thinks this will allow the 

new owners to "keep up the place 

properly. " 

Blanchard also believes Minto 

"plans on honoring our leases." 

Peter Thompson, part-owner 

of Earfull Records (vvhich opened 

in the mall late in 1979), says 

"we-don't have many details yet" 

about the change in ownership. 

Neither Thompson nor Blanchard 

knew why the znall was sold so 

soon after opening, and Greenberg 

wouldn't reveal the purchase 

price. 

"I'm not prepared to discuss 

that, " Greenberg told the GLEBE 

REP ORT. 

Snow removal tricky problem for city this year 

SNOW REMOVAL THIS YEAR HAS POSED MANY PROBLEMS FOR THE CITY. 

crews. The picking up of snow 

was done under contract by 

Wheel-A-Way, a local company, 

says Curry. 

This year City officials are 

asking for $8.9 million for the 

clearing of roads. But City 

Council will probably cut that a- 

mount back, he says. 

Meanwhile, Curry doesn't 

foresee any great changes for 

Glebe snow removal in the remaining 

winter months. 

Photo: Jinny Slyfield 

"We hope to have average 

conditions," he says. But he 

adds that if temperatures continue 

to plummet after storms, 

there "will be no room for error" 

for City snow clearing 

trews. 

But the young developer--who 

is related to the former mayor-- 

says the purchase of Fifth Avenue 

Court "was all done very 

quickly". 

"We were impressed with its 

construction and its aesthetic s. " 

He also says "We don't plan 

revolutionary changes" ,in the 

mall. 

In the meantime, Minto's first 

concerns are the "million things 

that have to be resolved" at 

Fifth Avenue Court, such as the 

renting of vacant shop spaces. 

Greenberg says Minto plans 

to keep the- "inner-city, village 

atmosphere" originally planned 

for the mall. He says he intends 

to rent the vacant spaces to 

"individual merchants" as opposed 

to "large chain stores." 

Peter Thompson is confident 

Minto will be able to "smooth 

out the rough edges" left. 

Thompson says Minto has already 

sent crews around to clear 

snow in back of the service entrance, 

and to clean the mall's 

floor s. 

"Fifth Avenue Court's concept 

won't be changed," Thompson 

says. 

Phil Waserman was not available 

for comment. 

Merchants doing 

well, page 2 

Curry admits "every resource 

available has been used" and 

so far it hasn't been enough "to 

provide any better service." 

Michael Hicks, a concerned 

Glebe resident, has some solutions 

for City snow removal. 

He says Bank St. merchants 

"should clear their own snow" 

on the sidewalks in front of their 

businesses. He says that in 

Toronto, shop-owners are forced 

by law to do their own snow 

clearing. 

Home-owners probably could 

not be as easily persuaded, says 

Hicks. 

In the meantime, however, he 

says the city should be doing 

a better job clearing snow 

at intersections. 

l'here are "great mounds of 

muck" at corners like Bank and 

Queen, which make it hard for 

pedestrians to cross, says Hicks. 

Hicks says he's also concerned 

about how the City dumps snow 

in front of driveways. He says 

that in Winnipeg, the City digs 

the driveways out after plowing 

the street, and then takes the 

snow away.

News feature: 

German Shepherd keeps watch over service station 


It's hard to live up to the 

talents of a relative like TV 

star the Littlest Hobo, but German 

Shepherd, Hobo, is making 

his mark. 

The nine-year-old dog, owned 

by Ken Williams of the Texaco 

gas station at Bronson Avenue 

and the Queensway, is the one 

attendant every customer notices. 

Weighing in at 110 pounds, 

the canine cub is "very friendly 

during the day - but don't come 

back at night!" 

He can push doors open and 

he likes to tease the gas station 

workers. 

One mechanic, 21-year-old 

Frank Maviglia, says Hobo 

(whom he has nicknamed "Bozo") 

likes to "lie under cars" in the 

shop area "when you're letting 

them down" on the lift. Hobo 

is also friendly with customers 

and likes to greet them, tail 

wagging and nose a-sniffing... 

One customer even brings him 

dog biscuits regularly. But 

Hobo is also an effective burglar 

alarm system. 

Williams, who has left Hobo in 

the station every night in the 

seven years he has owned him, 

can recall arriving one morning 

to a smashed door with blood all 

around outside. Hobo was inside, 

wagging his tail and looking fine. 

"I don't know who he chewed," 

says Williams about Hobo "but 

the crook didn't come back to 

complain."

man asked to use the phone 

during the day. 

When Williams looked up, the 

man had disappeared. But he

Stores in Fifth Avenue Court 

say they had a pretty good Christmas 

sales season. 

"We did very well over Christmas", 

says Jeanne Wennerwald 

of Fifth Avenue Down, which 

reappeared about five seconds 

later running "out of the bays 

minus one pant leg," Hobo 

tearing after him. 

"He seems to sense when 

people are up to no good," says 

Williams. 

But most of the time Hobo 

is docile and quiet. He likes 

to make his daily sniffing 

rounds outside the gas station 

at the Red Cross lawn next 

door. 

Has faults 

Hobo does have his vices, 

though. He sometimes knocks 

things off shelves, steals hamburgers 

off co-workers' plates 

and howls at police cars. 

He's just like a kid," says 

Williams. 

Hobo's dislike of police cruisers 

began about five years ago 

when police came during the 

night to investigate a break-in 

Christmas business good at 

Fifth Ave. Court 

C HEERS 

Ottawa's specialty 

glassware store 

opened in the mall Dec. 5. 

"I think people will like coming 

here. We have customers from 

all over the city, and they come 

back with their friends." 

Other Fifth Avenue Court 

Fifth Avenue Court 99 Fifth Ave. 233-0215 

at the Texaco station. 

The dog attacked the policeman 

thinking he was a crook 

and the startled officer shot at 

him, hitting Hobo below his right 

eye, says Williams. 

Luckily, Hobo was taken to the 

vet's in time and the bullet was 

removed. 

Hobo, who Williams claims is 

a cousin of CTV's Littlest Hobo, 

consumes $35 of food a month. 

He delights in dog delectables 

like canned dog foods. 

About five percent cf Williams' 

customers are afraid of Hobo 

and refuse to go into the station 

to pay for their gas (the station 

is self-serve). Williams says 

the worst case of fright, however, 

was experienced by a former Ottawa 

Roughrider football player. 

The player, who used to be the 

team's defensive half-back, took 

one look at Hobo and "wouldn't 

come in." 

But most customers, like Paul 

merchants also say they did better 

than expected over Christmas. 

"Our Christmas business did 

pick up and business overall 

has picked up," says Ellen Manchee 

of Octopus books. 

But Manchee says,"It is another 

question whether increased business 

will be enough to offset the 

higher rent." 

Bank St. merchants not located 

in the new mall have mixed 

feelings about how it's affecting 

their sales. 

Myrna Fenton of the Two 

Sisters Dress Shoppe says 

"competition will be healthy." 

So far she doesn't know how her 

business has been affected. 

"I expect that when the mall 

is fully rented a lot of people 

will be attracted to the Clebe 

who wouldn't otherwise shop 

here," she says. 

Other Bank St. merchants reported 

increased business but 

couldn't say if the mall was the 

cause. 

Coffrey, who lives near the 

station, like Hobo. 

"He's good," says Coffrey. 

Wendy Ross, 17, the station's 

console operator, also likes Hobo 

because "I never worry about 

getting robbed with the dog here." 

Pedestrian 

injured 

in accident 

Glebe resident Dr. Brian Liddy 

is sitting with both of his legs 

encased in plaster as a result 

of an accident at the junction 

of Echo Drive and the Pretoria 

foot bridge. 

Dr. Liddy was unawarethat the 

crosswalk at that corner had been 

replaced by traffic signals. He 

pressed the buton, looked left, 

and stepped out--only to be hit 

by a motorist who in turn failed 

to see him. 

The pedestrian's view from the 

crossing is limited at the best of 

times because of the dips and 

curves in the road but at the 

moment a large -sign, erected by 

the Ottawa-Carleton Regional 

Municipality, announcing construction 

of the Pretoria Bridge 

severely restricts the view from 

the crossing and from on-coming 

cars. 

The fact that Dr. Liddy 's 

accident took place at mid-day 

serves to point out the danger 

to the public from this sign.

First Avenue Schoo 

renovation is now 

confirmed 

By Liz McNab 

During December, the Ottawa 

Board of Education decided to 

renovate First Avenue School. 

This was a reversal of their 

previous decision to tear down 

the building and build a new 

school in its place. 

On December 10, the Board 

met to discuss the question of 

First Avenue School. The architect, 

Alistair Ross, who will be

in charge of the renovation, was 

present and questioned by the 

trustees about various aspects 

of renovation and rebuilding. 

After this discussion most of 

the trustees voted in favour of 

renovation, although trustee Wilson 

opposed it on financial 

grounds and trustee Francis 

voted against it because he felt 

that the whole question of First 

Avenue School should be reconsidered, 

taking into account its 

programme, location, and build- 

,ing. 

At the same meeting, the Board 

also discussed the programme 

changes at First Avenue and 

Hopewell school s. 

At an earlier meeting it had 

been decided that both First Avenue 

and Hopewell should have 

-SK-French Immersion streams 

and that the immersion stream at 

Hopewell should be phased in 

over a number of years. At 

this meeting it was decided that 

the phasing-in should start with 

SK-2 at Hopewell next year, and 

that a grade should be added 

each following year until 1985. 

It was also decided that all 

children in the French Immersion 

stream Grade 6 should attend 

Hopewell next year, and First 

Avenue for the following yeaxs 

until phasing-in was complete 

in 1985. 

Both these decisions were confirmed 

at a special meeting of 

the Ottawa Board of Education 

held on December 15,1980.

Glebe shoemaker dies: "everybody s friend" 

By Alfred Holden 

An era has ended. 

Bill Moskaluk, the Glebe Shoemaker 

who quietly repaired the 

footware of Glebe residents for 

more than forty years, died early 

this month of a heart attack at 

age 65. 

In an age when nearly everything 

was manufactured to be 

thrown away, Moskalukwhose 

small Bank St. shop (International 

Shoe Repair) was as much a 

meeting place for Glebe residents 

as it was a shoe repair shop-- 

made a living fixing things people 

said couldn't be fixed. 

-"He's sure going to be missed 

in the Glebe, as a shoemaker, 

a friend, and a business neighbour," 

said Bill Willis, of the 

McKeen-Willis Glebe IGA. 

"Everybody was his friend". 

Dorothea McKenna, a Strathcona 

Ave. resident and long-time 

friend of the Moskaluks, recalled 

how Bill was "the only shoemaker 

in town who could fix the 

Royal Canadian Mounted Police 

riding boots." 

"He was a pretty good shoemaker. 

He told me once that 

it was getting difficult to get 

shoemaking help, but he kept 

my shoes going long after the 

manufacturer would have liked." 

Joe Badali, of Badali Brothers, 

recalled how Bill's shop "was 

always a friendly place where 

you could stop by for a chat." 

Badali said Bill had been planing 

to retire soon , because "he 

was getting a bit tired." 

Bill's shop was written up 

last November in the GLEBE 

REPORT's "Grand Old Guard" 

series of articles about long-

established Glebe businesses. 

He became famous beyond the 

borders of the Glebe a few years 

ago, when, alter his thumb was 

cut off in an accident at work, 

doctors successfully sewed it 

back on. 

Bill's triumph was made pub- 

lic in THE CITIZEN. 

"One thing I couldn't fix myself," 

he told friends afterward. 

Bill Moskaluk will be remembered 

as a kind, quiet 

gentleman, and a master 

of his trade.

EDITORIALS 

Staff changes made 

at Glebe Report 

These past few months have 

seen a number of staff changes 

at the GLEBE REPORT, so we 

thought we'd devote a few columninches 

to fill readers in on what's 

what and who's who, and to thank 

publicly former staff who've 

moved on to other endeavours. 

First of all, we have a new 

editor to start the new year. 

She's Beverley Rix, a Second 

Avenue resident who has contributed 

to the BOOKS column 

in the GLEBE REPORT from 

time to time. 

Beverley replaces Mamie 

Johnstone, who left the GLEBE 

REPORT to accept another position 

in November. 

Mamie doesn't leave without 

malting her mark on the paper. 

Her organizational abilities 

helped her get more news about 

more things in the GLEBE RE- 

PORT than ever before. 

Luckily, she's let the new staff 

in on some of her secrets. 

Also new this month is our 

advertising manager, Ellen Scho-

that the GLEBE REPORT must

costs, our advertising rates are

waiter, another regular contributor 

to the paper and the artist 

responsible for last month's 

colorful cover. 

Ellen replaces Elyse Munroe, 

who resigned in December. 

We'd like to thank Mamie and 

Elyse for the ideas and time 

they gave to the GLEBE RE- 

PORT. A lot more goes into 

putting out this newspaper than 

its once-a-month appearance on 

Glebe doorsteps would suggest 

It's work that takes time and 

a lot of tender loving care. 

We hope that in the coming 

year the new staff will be able 

to continue to put out a package 

that readers find informative 

and attractive. 

Finally, a word about typesetting: 

the GLEBE REPORT, 

after last month's experiment 

with typesetting, rented some 

equipment which we hope to buy. 

We're continuing last month's 

experiment with a new, smaller, 

easier-to-read typeface.

Government aid for daycare: 

Is it generous enough? 

EDITOR, GLEBE REPORT: 

After five years of protests, 

countless briefs and recommendations 

from many individuals and 

organi zations, the provincial 

government has finally relented 

and announced increases in daycare 

funding. 

The Honourable Keith Norton 

has announced that an additional 

$11 million dollars will be added 

to the 1981 daycare budget. 

At first glance this increase 

indeed seems gratifying. 

Expressions of anger coupled 

with the prospect of an upcoming 

election no doubt spurred the 

provincial government into 

action. 

The issues in daycare have 

remained the same over the 

last 10 years. 

Because there are not enough 

subsidies to help operate centres, 

the fees charged put the service 

out of the reach of low-income 

and even many middle-class 

families. Daycare staff (99% 

women) earn comparatively low 

wages. Restraints have meant 

virtually no expansion in service 

and people have to take what they 

can in the unlicensed babysitting 

market. 

The new policy deals with some 

of these problems but not all. 

There will be 1500 new subsidized 

spaces in the province, 

150 in Ottawa. There will be 

$1.3 million dollars to start new 

non-profit centres, $2.4 million 

dollars distributed directlytothe 

municipal day care budget, 

$4`30,000 for handicapped children, 

$950,000 to enhance informal 

daycare, and $850,000 for a 

public relations programme. 

These proposals help but do 

not solve the problems. For the 

1,000 children currently on the 

local waiting list the region will 

receive 150 new spaces. How 

much of the rest of the money is 

to be spent in this area will depend 

on the applications received 

and the decision of provincial 

authorities. 

The salaries of daycare workers 

show many inequalities yet 

no mention of this problem was 

made in the proposals. 

There is, also, no mention of 

making daycare more accessible 

to a wider range of income 

groups. In fact, the provincial 

government has no sympathy for 

middle income families. They 

state, "Parents have the primary 

responsibility for the basic care 

of their children," and further.

I thought Jan Brummel's series 

in the GLEBE REPORT--the 

one about Glebe businesses-- 

was excellent. 

I hope you'llhave more articles 

about Glebe history and people 

in the future. 

E. WATSON SMITH 

"The role of the Ministry has been 

to enable access to needed 

services for handicapped children 

and children of families with 

limited financial means. It is 

thus the policy of the provincial 

government to ignore the needs 

of children who have parents in 

the moderate and middle income 

range. The future of these children 

is thus left to the vagaries 

of an unlicensed baby sitting 

market. 

The question that must be asked 

at this point is this: Is this 

initiative going to continue or is 

it simply an election goody to be 

repeated in another four years. 

If it is the latter, the children 

of Ottawa will not be well-served. 

DAVID HAGERMAN 

Too many 

ads for 

this reader 

EDITOR, GLEBE REPORT: 

The GLEBE REPORT is one 

of our community's most essential 

resources. 

May I, however,bring to your 

attention the paper's growing 

tendency towards an excessive 

amount of advertising. 

Important as revenue is for 

the paper's continuing success, 

I believe that the balance between 

advertising copy and 

community news and photos has 

passed an acceptable norm. 

Such ads as the City of Ottawa's 

full-page "Winterize" 

promotion in the December,1980 

issue serve as examples of what 

is unproductive. 

Perhaps this problem has 

already come to your attention. 

I hope that as you formulate 

policies for the paper, you will 

give this matter some consideration.

"WINTER ICE" 

A VERY BINDING ISSUE 

About this country's situation, 

Concerning talk of mass inflation, 

And, about provincial separation .... 

I think, after much consideration, 

That we need "Nation Constipation ". 

Cheese, I'm told, is very binding. 

It keeps unwanteds from unwinding 

And, THAT is what we should be finding .... 

A great big cheese with a 'silver lining' 

And, have this whole damned country dining. 

What we need is one to lead. 

Unafraid to tackle greed. 

One who sees this country's need .... 

Disregarding race or creed. 

For this ... on bended knee, I plead. 

'Tis then this country's situation, 

And, all this talk of mass inflation, 

And .... provincial separation .... 

Will have had consideration .... 

And, we'll have our "Nation Constipation".

Lot's going on 

at Red Cross House 

By Mary Ahearn 

A child's swimming class, 

emergency relief to earthquake 

victims, a blood donor clinic: 

what is the common bond that 

links them? 

It's the Red Cross--the international 

symbol of help. 

The Ottawa branch of the Canadian 

Red Cross is located right 

on the boundary of the Glebe 

at 85 Plymouth St. 

In the past two years, the 

Red Cross Youth Program has 

been active in schools and groups 

like Scouts and Guides. 

Red Cross Youth has three 

areas of concern: health, safety 

know-how, and international 

awareness. According to Jackie 

Coderre, the Youth Chairperson, 

"We also want to encour- 

Antique Show

THE MAY COURT CLUB, a 

charitable organization, will be 

holding its annual Chateau Antiques

are from 6 to 10 p.m. and admission 

is $5; Feb 14 hours

noon to 5 p.m. and admission

age the lifestyle choice for volunteerism 

and community service." 

Red Cross Youth has many 

courses that can easily be given 

in schools or community centres 

or at Red Cross House. 

"Health" are the following 

courses: 

I'M TAKING CARE OF MY 

ENVIRONMENT and ENVIRON- 

MENT PACKAGE, as well as 

another about pollution. 

Safety know-how involves 

courses at all levels in first 

aid, baby-sitting, water safety, 

bike safety and accident prevention. 

In order to develop better world 

understanding, there are international 

studies: ONE EARTH, . 

WHY CARE? as well as EDU 

KITS about various countries. 

Red Cross Youth is also involved 

in the Year of the Dis- 

abled. One of their projects 

is an art festival open to disabled 

youth. Another is the collection 

at Red Cross House of 

Dominion Stores cash register 

tapes--the se will be turned into 

cash to buy wheelchairs. 

Tours of Red Cross House 

can be arranged through Jackie 

Coderre. "Can I give blood, 

too?" seems to be the most 

commonly asked question 

by young people on these tours. 

All this and more is going 

on at Red Cross House on Plymouth 

Street. 

If you or your group want 

to get involved, call them at

GLEBE REPORT DELIVERERS ENJOY THE PAPER'S DECEMBER PARTY

One Sunday in December, the 

Glebe Community Centre echoed

distribution of the GLEBE

the deliverers. 

"It was fun to have these devoted

and a great deal of delicious 

food," said delivery co-ordinator 

Sylvia Holden.

New committee at City Hall to invite citizen participation 

At City Hall we are now 

in the process of determining 

the 1981 budget and 

tax level. While the documents 

indicate a 30 per 

cent tax increase as a 

possibility, after detailed 

study it is hoped that 

any increase can be kept 

at or near the inflation 

rate so that the same level 

of City services can

this input happens in a

In response to complaints

and as a result, steps 

will be taken on an experimental

A seafood restaurant opens on Bank Street 

When I was growing up, 

"fish" meant just two 

things: salmon loaf for 

supper or tuna sandwiches 

for lunch, made from canned 

fish. Only later did 

I discover the delicate 

taste and infinite variety 

of fresh fish. 

Since the opening of 

Glebe Fish three years ago, 

many Glebites have been 

tempted and encouraged to 

try new varieties and new 

dishes. Part fish market, 

part aquarium ("Look at the 

Lobsters, Mommy:), Glebe 

Fish has made a lot of 

converts with its wide 

assortment of finny food 

and its helpful advice. 

Now co-owners Caren 

von Merveldt and Wayne 

Duford have opened Flipper's, 

a restaurant upstairs 

at 823 Bank Street, 

so that we can all taSte 

their ideas on seafood 

cooking. 

Dining 

Spot 

Restaurant column 

by Barbara Riley 

Flipper's has a small 

menu supplemented by daily 

specials - salmon à la 

king ($7.95) and broiled 

swordfish ($6.95) the night 

we were there. 

For appetizers we started 

with the house salad 

($2.95) and stuffed crab 

($3.95). The salad was 

a generous one with several 

chunks of fish mixed in 

with the greens, while the 

crab was a delight - hot, 

delicately flavoured, with 

a crisp coating, it just 

melted in my mouth. These 

two appetizers, with rolls 

and dessert, would have 

made a sati-;factory supper 

in themselves. 

Servings generous 

They certainly proved to 

be unnecessary when we saw 

the size of the main dishes 

laid before us - generous 

servings of fish accompanied 

by equally large helpings 

of rice and cooked 

carrots. 

Swordfish is almost meatlike 

in texture, very 

solid and heavy, yet with 

a definite fish flavour. 

It is not one of my 

favorites but Flipper's 

served it topped with a 

light cheese sauce and the

combination was a good one. 

The white rice, with 

some wild rice mixed in, 

was suitably fluffy, but the 

carrots were disappointingly 

tough - whether through 

age or undercooking, I 

could not tell. 

The lmon à la king, 

served on a patty shell, 

was perfectly delicious. 

Our service was friendly 

and well-timed; we never 

felt rushed nor did we ever 

feel that we had been waiting 

anxiously for something 

to arrive at the table. 

UPPER LEVEL 

Flipper's regular menu 

includes a house chowder 

($1.25 a bowl) and various 

appetizers such as smoked 

mussels $3.55), Jamaican 

cod cakes ($1.95), and 

escargots (8 for $3.95). 

There is a selection of 

complete dinners including 

seafood quiche ($5.25), and 

seafood platter ($12.50). 

For children under 12 

there are fish cakes or 

shrimp crisp at $2.50. 

(This is definitely a fish 

restaurant and there are 

no hamburger substitutes.) 

GIFT STORE

Valentine cards 

Gifts 

A small sampling of desserts, 

among them Loretta's

Flipper's has a liquor 

licence and also has a 

small, stand-up bar at one 

end of the room. 

Warm atmosphere 

The decor is simple and 

pleasing - brick walls, wood 

floor, and nautical touches 

provided by some handsome 

ship models and framed illustrations 

of the sea. The 

lighting is warm and beckons 

welcomingly out to Bank

windows. 

The restaurant is not 

very large and does not 

take reservations; therefore, 

if you do not arrive 

early for dinner, be prepared 

for a wait. 

Flipper's is open from 

noon to midnight every day

hours are from 5 to 10 p.m.

Ottawa Recycling Centre officially opened 

On December 18th, I 

attended the opening 

ceremonies of the Recycling 

Centre at 499 

Industrial Avenue. 

The Centre, owned by 

Thermo-Cell Insulation Ltd. 

contains 26,000 square 

feet and is equipped with 

machinery to handle newspaper 

from about 80,000 

households in the Greater 

Ottawa area. 

It is interesting that 

this centre, which had 

already recovered about 

2,400 tons of paper by the 

beginning of its second

quarter of operation, 

exists because of the unusual 

combination of 

private industries, 

government and the handicapped 

working together to 

make this worthwhile 

enterprise a success. But 

the key element which 

makes the whole thing 

possible, is the effort 

by the Ottawa residents to 

participate in this endeavour. 

It normally takes 

two years for a program 

such as this one to reach 

its projected target. In 

Ottawa however, within 

three months, over 50% of 

the target collection 

figure has been reached. 

This is exceptional. 

Parrott opens centre 

The Honourable Harry 

Parrott, Minister of the 

Environment for Ontario, 

cut the ribbon to officially 

open the centre in 

the presence of many local 

politicians, including the 

Mayor, Marion Dewar and 

numerous other people who 

have been active in initiating 

and handling the 

recycling operation. 

But mention must also 

be made of other people 

who were present: people 

whom Harry Parrott brought 

forward to cut the ribbon 

with him who are not only 

contributing to this operation 

by their activities, 

but are themselves being 

made to feel worthwhile, 

people who have traditionally 

been prohibited from 

participating in anything 

in our society - the 

mentally handicapped. 

Centre employs 

handicapped 

I talked to some of the 

twelve handicapped people 

from A.R.C. Industries who 

were sorting and baling 

the waste paper materials 

at the centre. They are 

happy to be working and 

very much enjoy the 

company of other people. 

The results of this 

form of employment have 

been so positive, that 

the Federal Government has 

commissioned S.P.A.R. 

Systems to co-ordinate a 

feasibility study on the 

possibility of employing 

the handicapped in various 

places of the recycling industry 

across the country. 

The aim is to place handicapped 

people full-time in 

the industrial recycling 

environment and to pay 

them a wage related to 

their activities in 

accordance with industry 

wage scales. 

To recycle your newspapers, 

put them in a brown 

paper bag beside your 

garbage can on collection 

day and whenyou do that, 

remember that you are not 

only saving trees, energy 

and money, but that you 

are also helping to 

employ the handicapped. 

New anti-pollution unit 

In response to a need to 

prevent illegal dumping of 

industrial wastes and other 

unusual forms of pollution, 

13 trained investigators 

will be out to nab suspects. 

This unit will be backed by 

two lawyers and any number 

of specialists such as 

engineers and scientists 

required to help in the

Gatineau scenes favourite of watercolourist 

Christine Hinger, who gre,,; 

up next to the Vienna Woods 

in Baden, Austria, is 

depicting the freedom and 

naturalness found in Canadian 

woods but not in the 

woods where she played as a 

child. 

Christine Hinger'has a 

very distinctive style. Her 

watercolours strongly resemble 

batiks with soft 

puddles of colour. Also they 

remind me of the way sun- 

she expresses the tallness

Story and Photo by Jane Bower 

Christine Hinger displays her paintin 

Driving to Wakefield can 

sometimes be treacherous in 

winter, but the cold, frosty 

Sunday I chose was perfect 

to view Christine Hinger's 

watercolours at Galerie 

l'Equivoque. 

Wakefield was an ideal 

setting for this show which 

was painted almost exclusively 

in and of the Gatin7 

eau. I could not, h-owever, 

identify the exact location 

of each scene, as the subject 

matter is usually of 

small groups of trees or 

flowers, not panoramas. 

In the 

Churches 

, "After the Storm". 

Her interest in flowers 

is selective. She likes 

to paint only powerful flowers 

and certainly not in a 

formal arrangement or with 

botanical detail. Sunflowers, 

Queen Anne's Lace and 

fireweed are favorites. 

Prefers watercolours 

Christine Hinger used to 

paint in oils, but for the 

last seven years she has 

preferred the immediacy and 

directness of watercolour., 

Anniversary celebration 

St. Giles Presbyterian Church, Bank Street 

at First Avenue, will celebrate the 56th 

Anniversary uf the congregation on Sunday, 

Feb. 1, 1981. The Anniversary Service at 

11 a.m. will be conducted by the Minister, 

the Reverend Hamish M. Kennedy. 

The Guest Preacher will be the Reverend 

Doctor George E. Dobie, Minister of St. Timothy's 

Presbyterian Church, Ottawa. 

The ANNIVERSARY 

DINNER will be held 

in the Church Banquet 

Hall at 6:30 

p.m. on Monday, 

February 2. 

Tickets are $3.00 (Children under 12 years 

$1.50) and may be obtained from Mrs. Flora 

Biais. Call 234-4770. 

Former members, friends and neighbours are 

invited to share in these anniversary celebrations. 

light dances on a floor 

after it has passed through 

a stained glass window. She 

prefers to paint nature in 

the early morning or late 

afternoon when shadows 

are stronger and contrasts 

greater than in high sun 

when there is "no life." 

As well as a vibrancy 

and a sparkling quality, her 

pictures have an element of 

mysticism which reflects 

her view that the woods are 

a mystical place. The subject 

matter is often painted 

from a slightly oblique 

angle to emphasize a particular 

feeling. For example, 

search of unbuilt-up spaces 

which she has now found. 

Music, especially Beethoven's, 

is also a strong inspiration 

while she is 

painting. 

Although her fifth exhibit 

in the Ottawa area 

ended in mid-December,one 

can still view some of her 

paintings at Galerie 

l'Equivoque. This spring 

she will travel back to 

Europe with her paintings 

for two exhibits, one in 

Vienna and one in Trier, 

Germany

Winterlude brings parking problems to Dow's Lake 

Attendance at this 

year's Winterlude events 

on Dow's Lake is projected 

at 50 per cent above 

1980. 

The opposition of the 

area residents and the 

heavy snowfall will prevent 

a recurrence of last 

year's invasion of Commissioner's 

Park by those 

2,000 motorists. 

But, as a result, the 

Dow's Lake residential 

community will be under 

heavy pressure from drivers 

looking for the shortest 

walk to the lake. 

Several temporary control 

plans have been forwarded 

and include: 

Vigorous enforcement of 

by-laws with tow-away of 

illegally parked cars. 

Sealing off the residential 

area to create a 

private village for residents 

only. 

A ban on all on-street 

parking during peak demand 

times. 

Only one solution 

Since the first suggestion 

is probably physically 

impossible in winter 

(tow trucks would not be 

able to reach the area or 

get through traffic-clogged 

streets) and since the 

second suggestion would 

leave residents with a 

very bad public image as 

elitists (for obstructing 

access to the lake) and 

poor neighbors (for bumping 

problems to the next 

neighborhood), we are 

left with the third suggestion 

as the most helpful 

in terms of traffic 

flow and ease of enforcement. 

Dow's 

Lake 

by Diana Paterson, President 

Dow's Lake Residents Assoc. 

We must face the fact 

that Winterlude will continue 

to grow, with special 

event traffic volume 

increasing yearly. 

Only by keeping that 

traffic moving can we 

hope to reduce the negative 

impact on our area. 

A multi-agency meeting 

at City Hall on Jan. 8 resulted 

in the following 

decisions: 

lio on-street parking

GCA: Membership is the key 

The Christmas season 

and the cold weather have 

slowed down the arinual 

membership campaign, but 

it is still going. A 

large, active membership 

is the key to the Association's 

ability to be 

heard when dealing with 

City Hall, the Regional 

Government, the School 

Boards, the Ontario Municipal 

Board, the NCC, and 

many other public and 

private bodies. 

So please consider renewing 

your membership or

First Avenue School 

In mid-DeCember the 

Ottawa Board of Education 

decided to renovate the 

school and add a new 

gymnasium. This step was 

taken after considerable 

lobbying by the GCA, 

other groups and individuals 

favouring the school's 

preservation. 

The GCA has asked to 

be represented in the decision 

process for those 

aspects of the renovation 

which affect the community 

at large (for example, the 

design of the new gymnasium). 

At this point 

there has been no response 

from the School Board. 

In its preparation for 

the annual Winterlude, the 

NCC has discussed its plans 

with the GCA and the Dow's 

Lake Residents' Association 

before making final decisions 

on parking, street 

access, etc. This action 

is a welcome change from 

the NCC's past record of 

public participation and 

is hopefully a precedent 

for the future.

T - BALL 

- SOFTBALL WITHOUT THE PITCH 

This is a game that's as much fun for the parents 

to watch as it is for the children to play. It's a learning 

programme for softball that 5 and 6 year olds will enjoy as 

well as the older children because less co-ordination is required 

to produce results. It's a sport for both boys and 

girls with little emphasis on competition)where parent involvement 

is FUN and everyone enjoys the season. 

The Glebe would like to start a league this Spring, 

but needs volunteers to make it operate. If you are interested 

in helping us get started, come to an organisational 

meeting on 

MONDAY , FEB. 9th - 8p.m. 

at

We need people who have time to coach, keep score 

or who just have ideas and an interest. If you would like 

to participate but can't attend the meeting, just call the 

Centre at
