Two new parks for the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

by David Cavalier<br />

This spring, work has<br />

finally begun on the vacant<br />

city property located at<br />

Bank and Holmwood and the<br />

other at Lyon and Chamberlain<br />

These are two new <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

parks that are slated for<br />

completion in late summer<br />

or early fall.<br />

The City of Ottawa, Recreation<br />

and Parks department,<br />

is working on the previously<br />

empty field at the corner of<br />

Lyon and Chamberlain(beside<br />

the Queensway ). This park<br />

is designed more for recreational<br />

purposes than the<br />

second one on Bank St. For<br />

summer use, a basetall<br />

diamond is already completed<br />

and ready to be used,<br />

while down at the other end,<br />

two tennis courts are hoped<br />

to be finished later this<br />

summer. On the south side<br />

of the property there is a<br />

slight incline witfa a small<br />

play area and swing for<br />

younger children. 'There are<br />

also masses of open green<br />

spaces suitable for playing<br />

soccer, football or any other<br />

activities.<br />

In co- operation with<br />

Charles Sirn, of Lansdowne<br />

Park, the lot at the corner<br />

of Bank and Holmwooel has<br />

begun its transformation<br />

into a park with the planting<br />

of ten maple trees, a large<br />

planter for flowers and park<br />

benches. This property was<br />

used, until last winter, as<br />

a parking lot for the adjacent<br />

Coliseum and Rough<br />

Riders office.<br />

When completed, this park<br />

will be nicely shaded by<br />

sugar maples, crabapple trees,<br />

mugho pines, junipers, and<br />

many bushes and shrubs sur-<br />

rounding the area. More than<br />

a park, it will becorne an<br />

attractive public garden with<br />

the addition of NCC type<br />

vegetable plots, canopies,<br />

an arts and crafts display,<br />

and lots of benches.<br />

These two new parks<br />

come at a time when the<br />

long standing Recreation<br />

Chairrnan for the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

Community Association,<br />

Sylvia Holden, passes down<br />

her post to the new Chairman,<br />

David Cavalier.<br />

- During her time as Chairman,<br />

Sylvia made gre,at<br />

additions to the ever-growing<br />

amount of parks in the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

area. This one can easily<br />

tell by the new tot lots<br />

greatly improved playgrounds,<br />

and the transformation of<br />

useless vacant lots into well<br />

used, pleasant parks. Many<br />

thanks to Sylvia for a job<br />

- well done.<br />

In May parents met in the <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate library for a<br />

discussion and information session. Mrs. Bolick, the only<br />

full time librarian for more than 1600 students outlined difficulties<br />

of staff shortages. Mr. Kerr- Wilson, vice- principal;<br />

suggested more staff may be available in September but a<br />

core of volunteer parents able to give even a few hours<br />

help would reduce the bacldog of work.<br />

The facilities in the cafeteria, even after renovations,<br />

remain woefully inadequate to serve 400-500 students in the<br />

55 minute lunch time. Mr. Kerr-Wilson invited anyone to<br />

corne and have lunch &wing the terrn, although he couldn't<br />

strongly recommend the food. Senior students police the<br />

clean-up and this has improved.<br />

In the bilingual courses, monitors hired to help with<br />

tutoring, conversation, etc. will not be available next fall<br />

and Mrs. Wagstaff would welcome any parents able to assist<br />

with the program or offer some secretarial help.<br />

In June, a nurnber of senior students were upset to hear<br />

that Mr. Dubinski ( History ) would not be returning to <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

in September. Mr. Dubinski was declared supernumery<br />

( i. e. your Present job has evaporated although you remain<br />

contracted to teach for the Board somewhere in September<br />

when the position was filled from outside the department.<br />

Mr. King may be able to offer him a part time position<br />

created by the election of Mr. Pratt ( History ) as chairman<br />

of the local teachers' federation district.<br />

This tenuous supernurnery category has increased across<br />

the city with the Board's decision to increase the studentteacher<br />

ratio and to reduce the number of courses offered.<br />

There are between 72 and 82 reductions in teaching positions<br />

in the 24 high schools ( total staff approximately 1660 ) and<br />

and there have been fewer hirings due to retirements and<br />

leaves. While the complicated system of staff selection tries<br />

to be scrunulously fair, the facts of the financial squeeze are<br />

hard to ta. Even with eleven years experience, the last<br />

six with <strong>Glebe</strong>, a good teacher like Mr. Dubinski is not secured<br />

a position at the local high school, or even as a history<br />

teacher elsewhere with the Board.<br />

-Indications are that the problem is going to increase in<br />

the future. Across Ontario the projected figures are that 18%<br />

fewer students will be in grade 13 by 1985. For tax payers<br />

the cost of running a high- priced system, even with enrolement<br />

drops, does not guarantee lower teacher-student ratios<br />

or improved quality of education. Let us hope that an equal<br />

prpportion of financia2 trimming is going on at the administrative<br />

levels as well as at the vital teacher --classroom<br />

levels.<br />

Playing a lively tune<br />

after 87 summers<br />

by Bill MacPherson<br />

Yesterday one of the <strong>Glebe</strong>'s more interesting residents,<br />

P. J. "Perry " Bryson turned 87. Perry is specially well known<br />

t o the inhabitants of First Ave, who are familiar with his<br />

stories of Old Ottawa days, and his mouth organ playing.<br />

Mr. aryson worked in the newspaper business all his life up<br />

until his retirement in 1959. He spent 50 years with the<br />

Journal handling operations on the bank compositor, a vital<br />

cog in the mechanical departments make-up operation, through<br />

which all type is funneled.<br />

The eldest of a family of ten, his father was a harness maker<br />

in Eganville, where he got his first start in the newspaper indus<br />

try on the Eganville Leader. He started out as a delivery boy,<br />

making 25ct a day for delivering the paper to the whole of<br />

Eganville, "every dog knew me". His printing career started<br />

at fifteen, when his uncle P. McHugh, owner of the Eganville<br />

Leader gave him a job sluring the su.mmer, setting type. He<br />

then quit school and served as an apprentice for the Leader<br />

for 3 years. He was a full time printer for another four years<br />

at the Ledder until he moved to the Journal in 1909.<br />

In the midst of his explanation of what a bank compositor was,<br />

he stfddenly asked me what my last name was. No sooner<br />

had I replied than he was out of the room. He returned a<br />

moment later with his eight sided mouth organ (he has three<br />

of them ) playing "Scotland the Brave "and later "Roll out<br />

the Barrel ". When I suggested he play at a community or<br />

other event he replied that he had played at some<br />

"sometimes for five hours at a time." but felt that some of<br />

the associations take up too much of your time.<br />

Automatic machines were just coming in when Mr Bryson<br />

retired, and since 1960 they have replaced so many people that<br />

that his printer's Union Pension has dropped from $<strong>10</strong>0 to $12<br />

a month, because there aren't enough printers around to pay<br />

the Union dues to keep the Pensions going. Still Mr Bryson<br />

doesn't feel "ripped off " because he says it was a very interesting<br />

life working on a newspaper and he "wouldn't<br />

hesitate to do it all over again. "<br />

Happy Birthday Mr Bryson<br />

Poignant exit lines<br />

by Rob Stewart<br />

At 6.30 prn , Tuesday, June<br />

29, commencement exercises<br />

were held for <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate's<br />

graduating students .<br />

Graduates arriving at the<br />

school found the front parking<br />

lot filled with neatly .<br />

arranged rows of orange and<br />

blue plastic chairs,set up<br />

for the outdoor ceremony.<br />

However,due to the everpr<br />

ese nt threat of rain, the<br />

final decision to hold the<br />

proceedings in the school<br />

auditorium was made fifteen<br />

minutes before the ceremonies<br />

were scheduled to begin.<br />

The atmosphere was restrained<br />

and solemn as graduates<br />

arrived at 5.30 pm.<br />

in order to be fitted for gowns.<br />

Small, white filing cards were<br />

to be filled out with the<br />

person's name and plans for<br />

the fall,so that they could<br />

be read when the diplomas<br />

were presented. While some<br />

searched for the humourous<br />

exit line to use on their<br />

card, others talked in small<br />

hushed groups around the<br />

room.<br />

At 5.50 pm, the Marshal<br />

and his aides began the difficult<br />

task of arranging the<br />

grads into two lines, in alphabetical<br />

order.Award winners<br />

were singled out and<br />

given instructions while everyone<br />

was filled in on entrance,<br />

exit, and seating plans, along<br />

with some other minor details.<br />

("The diplomas you'll get<br />

aren't real, guys . You can<br />

pick the real ones up anytime<br />

after the show.")<br />

Finally, at 6.25 the lines<br />

moved out of the cafeteria,<br />

up the stairs and through the<br />

halls to the auditorium side<br />

doors. The audience rose<br />

and the graduating students<br />

entered in stately procession<br />

to the <strong>Glebe</strong> Band playing<br />

"March Processional."<br />

Magda Kubasiewicz<br />

The Principal of <strong>Glebe</strong>,<br />

John King, welcomed the<br />

grads and introduced the<br />

first speaker, the assistant<br />

head of English, Peter Carver.<br />

Mr. Carver was to deliver the<br />

official address to the graduates.<br />

Avoiding the moraliz -<br />

ing and advice for the future<br />

that are usually a part of the<br />

Address, he dwelt instead<br />

on events and people during<br />

the last five years at <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />

He ended the relatively short<br />

and poignant speech with Al<br />

Purdy's " Hiroshima".<br />

For the next hour, the<br />

ceremonies reverted back to<br />

what is now standardproce -<br />

dure, as groups of graduates<br />

were presented with awards<br />

and their diplomas.<br />

SALE PRICES<br />

Peeling paint? Worn out wood frames? Drafts?<br />

Modernize NOW with Amberly Alurninum!<br />

Phone now for your estimate<br />

The top two students in the<br />

school were Boldwin Toye and<br />

Magda Kubasiewicz. Other<br />

assorted special awards and<br />

scholarships were given to<br />

those students with a high<br />

standing in different subjects.<br />

The giving of the Special<br />

Donor award was halted by<br />

a very emotional moment,<br />

when Magda Kubasiewicz<br />

turned down the Henry Birlcs<br />

award ( to the student who<br />

has contributed the most<br />

during their five years at<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> ) in favour of Bruce<br />

Rigby. They both received<br />

a standing ovation from the<br />

graduating students.<br />

The presentation of Diplomas<br />

revealed that most of the<br />

graduated planned to go on<br />

to higher education, while<br />

the plans of some were<br />

censored by the person<br />

behind the microphone.So<br />

much for the exit lines.<br />

The valedictory address<br />

challenged the triviality of<br />

the high school experience,<br />

from the veiwpoint of the<br />

student. The valedictorian<br />

was Magda Kubasiewicz,a<br />

person who obviously<br />

contributed far more than her<br />

share to the school.<br />

After the ceremony, there<br />

was a reception downstairs<br />

for the graduates, their guests<br />

and staff members. For many<br />

it was a very poignant and<br />

moving occasion- for the<br />

graduates, their last official<br />

visit to <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />

Pine and pioneers<br />

by Linda Jones<br />

On April 1, Dan MacKinnon,<br />

a <strong>Glebe</strong> resident and civil<br />

servant, along with two of<br />

his Ottawa friends, opened<br />

the ninth Pre-Confederation<br />

Furniture workshop and showroom<br />

in Canada. It is located<br />

at number 20 Enterprise<br />

avenue off Merivale road in<br />

Ottawa's West End.<br />

Pre- Confederation Furniture<br />

makes and deals in exact<br />

reproductions of original<br />

pieces of furniture found in<br />

the Maritimes, Ontario, and<br />

Quebec during the years 1770-<br />

1870 constucted according<br />

to the craftsmanship and<br />

skills of Canada's early<br />

cabinet makers.<br />

"We wanted to see the skills<br />

of the pioneers carried on<br />

and not lost. So Pre-Confederation<br />

is employing the same<br />

old cabinet making skills in<br />

furniture as years agol' Mr.<br />

MacKinnon says. The furniture<br />

is entirely handmade and no<br />

nails are used in the production.<br />

The wood used in the more<br />

than 60 finished pieces is<br />

Ontario white pine from the<br />

upper Ottawa valley. Pine is<br />

one of the more inexpensive<br />

woods and Dan MacKinnon is<br />

concerned that the company's<br />

future stay within the price<br />

range of the m&lerate income<br />

people.<br />

"If it doesn't, it will become<br />

too much of an elitist product<br />

and we couldn't stay in business"'<br />

Mr. Mac.Kinnon said.<br />

'111in price range of items at<br />

the store 'ranges from $15 for<br />

picture frames to $995 for the<br />

grandfather clock.<br />

Pre-Confederation will be offering<br />

the same line of furniture<br />

pany will not be carrying it<br />

immediately.<br />

Of the nine locations across<br />

Canada, the Vancouver, Calgary,<br />

London, St. Catherines<br />

and Ottawa companies have<br />

workshops where the furniture<br />

is made. ( The other locations<br />

are Edmonton, Winnipeg, and<br />

Toronto. )<br />

The Ottawa workshop employs<br />

two master cabinet makers,<br />

two apprentices on a provincal<br />

government sponsored program<br />

and one master finisher.<br />

They do" all the things that<br />

would have been done by early<br />

cabinet makers ", said Mr.<br />

MacKinnon, which includes<br />

wood- to- wood joinings such as<br />

experienced<br />

and<br />

dovetails, mortisva., and tenons.<br />

The only modern touch is the<br />

protective urethane finish applied.<br />

Each furniture piece when constructed<br />

is hand sanded, rubbed<br />

and stained to allow a natural<br />

ageing.<br />

"We let the wood do its own<br />

finishing with age. In five<br />

years these pieces will be indistinguishable<br />

from antiques,"<br />

Mr. MacKinnon explained.<br />

Dan MacKinnon clainns Pre-<br />

Confederation will never make<br />

a lot of furniture by inand. He<br />

is very proud of the quality of<br />

the furniture to come out of the<br />

Ottawa workshop and boasts:<br />

"We have the best chairs in<br />

Ontario. Even Four Corners<br />

buys our chairs."<br />

Festival for the Folks: a success?<br />

If the "Festival for the<br />

Folks", held at Brewer Park<br />

last weekend, wasn't a financial<br />

success it certainly was<br />

a cultural success. The three<br />

day music festival was sponsored<br />

by the Carleton Univsity<br />

Student's Association and<br />

financed with a Wintario<br />

Wiffen and many others.<br />

At the Brewer Park field<br />

there was a main stage, three<br />

workshop stages, and many<br />

art and crafts display tables.<br />

The concert on Sunday night<br />

only 'attracted a disappointing<br />

1,500 people who paid the<br />

$5.50 fee to cover the festival's<br />

cost and to insure that<br />

grant and the with the revenue there would be a festival<br />

from the "Festival Stars" next year. As a result of<br />

concert held at the Civic that CUSA lost a total of<br />

Centre on Sunday ni' '.. Over $15,000 which they hope to<br />

20,000 people came to listen<br />

make up from a benefit<br />

to the over 30 groups and concert sometime in August.<br />

The hard working cast of the Great Canadian Theatre<br />

Company rehearsed all June for a touring production of "Yonder<br />

Lies The Valley " by Bernie Bedore a native of the Ottawa<br />

valley. This legendary play with its fast paced fiddling, step<br />

dancing and original songs is a piece of Ottawa valley history<br />

that captures the audience in the drama and trials of the old<br />

lumbering days. Offered to the <strong>Glebe</strong> last November, crowds<br />

were turned away from The Quaker Friend's House on 4th<br />

Ave. With a new cast directed by Douglas Campbell of<br />

Carleton University Drama Department, this production with<br />

its infectious, nostalgic shanty tunes by Bill Berndt of Arnprior<br />

will play at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre August 6 and 7th<br />

and again August 14 and 15th at 8:00pm.<br />

The G. C. T. Company was approached by Renfrew County<br />

to take the play on surnmer tour and with a small Wintario<br />

grant the Company, before setting off with loaded bus offered<br />

senior citizens at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Centre a pre - run show on <strong>July</strong><br />

2nd.some of the towns include Vinton, Beachbury, Comberrnere<br />

and Killaloe using whatever facilities ava ilable, Orange halls<br />

high schools, a free tent Theatre show at Kingston during Olympic<br />

events and an old hotel at Quyon, Quebec.<br />

This enormously versatile cast, acting, singing and dancing<br />

several roles each has a tight schedule of 22 Valley and Eastern<br />

towns and 28 productions including their finale at The<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre August 14 and 15th. Tickets will<br />

be avaiblable at the door. Come and join in the warmth and<br />

fun.<br />

They came to the fair . . .<br />

by Ursula Thomson<br />

. . . the June 12th "Fun Fair", that is , which<br />

once again lived up to it's reputation as the <strong>Glebe</strong>'s biggest<br />

annual bash. As in the past, Third Avenue at the Community<br />

Center was transformed into a fairground with colourful<br />

tables, stands, and even a bandshell- the "Showmobile".<br />

Games for children of all ages were set up in adjoining<br />

playgrounds where squeals and shrieks of delight attested to<br />

the activities popularity. Bake sale tables were again mobbed<br />

by appreciative gourmets and chili burgers and soft drinks<br />

disappeared rapidly.<br />

An additional theme this year was the 150th anniversity<br />

of Bytown and in honour of the occasion many children had<br />

inventively decorated their bikes, trikes, prams, and wagons<br />

and marched behind the Dow's Lake Sea Cadet Band on it's<br />

kick-off parade through the neighborhood. The decorations<br />

Were later judged and winners chosen with great difficulty.<br />

Jason Jorgensen came first with his teepee decorated with<br />

Indian motifs, Louise Goodman, in a period costume of long<br />

dress , apron, and bonnet and pushing a decorated pram came<br />

second , and brothers Alex and Jeffrie Bernie were third with<br />

their life-like mini-zoo. All received prizes and an<br />

anniversary pin .and smiled for the cameras.<br />

Other new events were a concert by the Glashan Band, whose<br />

irnpressive repertoire included Haydn's "London Symphony", a<br />

canine performance by Dave Coldrick's Dog Obedience class,<br />

and an impromptu tug- o'- war by the adults who were really<br />

getting into the spirit of things.<br />

The evening closed with the by now traditional square<br />

dance where grandparents and youngsters alike hopped and dose-<br />

doed to the music. Many thanks are due to the volunteers of<br />

all ages who made it a great afternoon, and the weatherman,<br />

who came through superbly. If by some unlucky chance you<br />

missed the Fair, it will be back next year - see you then!<br />

the first day, there are only<br />

seven more to be hired.<br />

Monday <strong>July</strong> 5: Mr. McGuire<br />

of the summer school<br />

program being held at <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

Collegiate from <strong>July</strong> 5th to<br />

August llth. Mr. McGuire<br />

( vice- principal of <strong>Glebe</strong> ) is<br />

principal of the four summer<br />

schools in the city. Originally,<br />

the Ottawa Board of Education<br />

expected 200- 300 students<br />

to enrol at the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />

school. By Monday morning,<br />

almost <strong>10</strong>00 students had registered,<br />

with 200 more to<br />

come the next day. Hence,<br />

Mr. McGuire was launched<br />

into his mad quest for teachers.<br />

The staff includes such<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> notables as Messrs.<br />

Doyle, Aldwinckle, Zamparo,<br />

Peate, Walker, Sabongui,<br />

Stirmiest, Sheppard and<br />

Cleiman (Science Dept. Coordinator,<br />

are taught for levels one to<br />

four, in Physics, French,<br />

Typing, Geography... just<br />

about- everything except for<br />

Business and Commerce Management.<br />

The summer school is<br />

designed for students who<br />

wish to make up credits in<br />

subjects they attempted but<br />

did not pass over the year.<br />

Each student may take a<br />

maximum of two courses.<br />

Classes are held in the morning<br />

and are two hours long,<br />

with a one hour tutorial before<br />

or after. Testing is at<br />

the teacher's discretion, but<br />

final exams will be held in<br />

August.<br />

Affairs will soon settle<br />

A talk with<br />

Lionel Britton<br />

by Blaine Marchand<br />

"I've lived in the same house in the <strong>Glebe</strong> for over<br />

sixty- five years and I've had this business ten years next<br />

February" says Mr. Britton, and to my mind the <strong>Glebe</strong> is<br />

becoming a better place to live".<br />

Mr. Britton is of course the owner of Britton's Smokeshop.<br />

If you want newspapers, magazines, tobacco or the latest<br />

rumours about the Rough Riders, Britton's is a place<br />

you can find it.<br />

"I went to Mutchmor Public School, then spent my first<br />

year of high school at Lisgar. <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate was being<br />

built and when it was finished I concluded school there.<br />

After graduation I worked for the government in the Department<br />

of Transport. When I retired from the government, I<br />

felt I wasn't ready to stop working. I wanted to do something<br />

different for the next four or five years.<br />

"I explored several possibilities. One night a friend phoned<br />

because he knew that this business was up for sale. Knowing<br />

me and knowing I knew the <strong>Glebe</strong>, he suggested it. So I<br />

bought it. I'm glad I did because I enjoy meeting people".<br />

"The business was previously run by Dave Bruce and it<br />

had been established for over thirty years. He originally<br />

worked for a fellow named Donaldson who owned the building.<br />

It was the same type of business . . . I've made no<br />

changes. The volume has increased, but it's just the same .<br />

. . .magazines, papers, tobacco."<br />

"I moved recently because I was aware that Home Hardware<br />

wanted to expand. I lmew that the previous tenant here<br />

was closing, so I went to the landlord and arranged to move<br />

in here. The reason wasn't to expand. As it turned out I'm<br />

fortunate . . . it's easier to keep clean, there's more light,<br />

generally it's better. I'm sure as a result the volume will<br />

increase. "<br />

Lionel Britten in his new store.<br />

""At my age I suppose I should give some consideration to giving it up, but as long<br />

as my health holds out I don't want to retire. I enjoy it, mind you, you have to work<br />

every day, even when others have holidays, because the business is here to serve the customer<br />

and that means staying open."<br />

"Outside of the business, I've been associated with the <strong>Glebe</strong> Little League for twenty<br />

years and its president for the last four or five. I started through my son who is twenty- -<br />

five now. You know the <strong>Glebe</strong> had the first little league in the city. We provide facilities<br />

to play for over two huridred youngsters. I'm interested in kids . . . that's why there are<br />

so many of them in the store."<br />

also a member of the Legion though not as active as I used to be. I belong to<br />

the Knockers Club of Ottawa. And last time around I was involved in the political field.<br />

But quite frankly, despite inquiries, I'm uncertain about the upcoming election. Different<br />

things enter into consideration, and I don't have any political ambitions, my age underlines<br />

that . . . I would like to spend one terrn as alderman representimg this area, but I<br />

haven't made a definite decision.<br />

GLEBE SOCCER<br />

by<br />

Middling through<br />

GEORGE WRIGHT<br />

The soccer season is already<br />

one- third through, and<br />

the <strong>Glebe</strong> Rovers Soccer Club<br />

can claim to have made a<br />

sound and sornetimes spectacular<br />

start.<br />

It has fielded eight teams<br />

this year, 3 competitive and<br />

5 recreational teams, and<br />

two teams each in the Peewee,<br />

Mosquito, Atoms and<br />

Tykes age- groups. At the<br />

Bantam level*, <strong>Glebe</strong> players<br />

have joined with Riverside<br />

to form a dynamic South<br />

Ottawa club, thanks to the<br />

initiative of Jack Elliott.<br />

More later about the fortunes<br />

of these allied teams; first a<br />

report on the eight wholly<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> squads.<br />

Peewees I, coached by<br />

Ron Bolton, began slowly<br />

Fruitful alliance<br />

A fruitful alliance was<br />

made with Riverside this<br />

year to combine at Bantam<br />

level, since neither club had<br />

enough players who had<br />

passed 14 to field a regular<br />

and respectable team.<br />

Thanks to the energy of<br />

coaches Karl Havelcik, Jack<br />

Elliott and Bob McCaughan,<br />

the alliance has been a big<br />

success.<br />

Nothing if not bold, Jack<br />

entered one handpicked<br />

Bantams team in the Junior<br />

league. They have played<br />

up to his ;and Karl's expectations,<br />

winning six of their<br />

eight Division I games. Their<br />

two losses, 3-1 in each case<br />

by Tigers and St Anthonys,<br />

were close games in which the<br />

third goal of the opponerm<br />

was only scored in the last few<br />

minutes. Several young<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> players -- Richard<br />

Sanger, Ken Kirkhope and<br />

Nicky Lombardo among them<br />

-- have shone in this exciting<br />

team. Before the league<br />

season began, the team competed<br />

in a tournament in Pennsylvania,<br />

where they lost to<br />

elsewhere, for generating so<br />

much enthusiasm in this team<br />

in his first coaching season.<br />

Atoms I (coach David<br />

Beer) have show-n great spirit<br />

and improved their skillS.<br />

While they have lost six games<br />

and won one, five of their<br />

losses were only by a single<br />

goal. Daphne Carmody has<br />

been outstanding on the half<br />

line, while Frank Menendez<br />

has becorne a good striker.<br />

Dave Beer laments that they<br />

have been allotted Lycee<br />

Claudel as home ground,<br />

while <strong>Glebe</strong> High School's<br />

ground is unused. Anyone<br />

know why ?<br />

Atoms II have had close<br />

garnes, and usually the side<br />

with most reserves came out<br />

on top. Hillary Nangle is<br />

a player for scouts to watch.<br />

At Tykes level the girls<br />

take most of the honors.<br />

Jennifer Rayner and Kathy<br />

Goodings in the Whites team,<br />

Ruth Priddle and Pippa Huggins<br />

on the Maroons. But<br />

for ability Mark Levac and<br />

a team that had performed<br />

creditably against the West<br />

German Under 18s. So they<br />

have been exposed to some<br />

really high calibre teams.<br />

The other Bantam team<br />

of this alliance, named the<br />

Internationals, are in the<br />

tough first division bantam<br />

league . They lost their<br />

first five games, but since<br />

then have come together<br />

strongly, to tie two games<br />

and then beat the Royals.<br />

Frank Pace, Kevin Murray,<br />

David W and , Jo Jaffey, Matt<br />

and Toby Sanger, and Ian<br />

McKinnell (at least before he<br />

left for Thailand) made a<br />

handsome contribution from<br />

the <strong>Glebe</strong> area to this combined<br />

team.<br />

Two older <strong>Glebe</strong> players,<br />

Winston Brown and Chapman<br />

Yboh, have been playing in<br />

the senior South Ottawa team,<br />

called the Olympics. The<br />

Olympics also compete in the<br />

Prime Junior League. One<br />

way or another, thanks to<br />

good neighbors, these older<br />

<strong>Glebe</strong> players have found<br />

an avenue into mature soccer.<br />

for enthusiasm Mathew Cassidy<br />

can't be beaten.<br />

The club has been fortunate<br />

in getting so many new<br />

coaches -- Gordon MacNeil,<br />

Hugh Nangle, Michael Coote,<br />

Colin Freebury as well as John<br />

Rayner -- and several willing<br />

managers. Some warns, the<br />

Atoms and Tykes especially,<br />

have been blessed with parents<br />

prepared to drive and telephone<br />

and other needed things. The<br />

older teams could benefit from<br />

the same amount of volunteering.<br />

For example, Gordon<br />

MacNeil (232-9167) would<br />

reaLly welcome a call from<br />

someone wanting to be his<br />

team's manager !<br />

An instant community at Habitat Forum<br />

by CLYDE SANGER<br />

An instant community . It sounds like the wild claim<br />

of some real estate agent or developer. But for two memor<br />

able weeks the Habitat Forum really was a living, fully<br />

functioning -- vibrant may be the best adjective -- comm-<br />

unity. It may be interesting for people in the <strong>Glebe</strong> to<br />

analyze how it happened.<br />

Compared with the official Habitat conference, which<br />

took place in sumptuous hotels and theat-es in downtown<br />

Vancouver, the Forum faced apparently heavy discouragements.<br />

Five old seaplane hangars in a loose circle, a bit<br />

of a marsh and a hillside slope -- not much in the way of<br />

facilities; at first sight.<br />

But, in fact, it was perfect.* Unlike the downtown<br />

conference, it retained sorne connection with the subjects<br />

being discussed -- housing for the world's poor, programs of<br />

self-help, ideas for appropriate technolog-y. When the wind<br />

blew off English Bay into the hangars, we huddled closer to<br />

each other and pulled RCAF blankets tighter around us: and<br />

talk and reality converged.<br />

It wasn't just a bit of mortification of the flesh that made<br />

a community, though.<br />

Many writers have already praised the way that Al Clapp<br />

and his workers transformed the hangars into arenas for debate,<br />

by fishing huge logs out of the Fraser River and cutting them<br />

into planks that were piled in high tiers. They also fitted<br />

out a dozen small workshop and seminar rooms with imaginative<br />

use of these cedar planks and odd bits of wood.<br />

But that was only the framework. The people, and their<br />

use of space, made it into a community. The open space<br />

between the hangars, where everybody crisscrossed, was very<br />

important. A lot of logs had been left there, a challenge<br />

to creativity. Sculptors chiselled away at them; children<br />

used some sliced ones as teeter-totters; seminar groupe overflowed<br />

from the hangars onto them. On sunnier days people<br />

sat and dozed on these tree-trunks, waiting for friends to come<br />

by.<br />

You could take your choice of sideshows. For some it<br />

was the rather frenetic-storyteller Brother Blue, leaping about<br />

with balloons on his shoulders and a page of biography that<br />

said he had a Ph. D. from Harvard. Much more fun was<br />

The Portable Theatre, a group of five Ottawans managed by<br />

Jake Brooks, who enchanted children and adults alike with<br />

the liveliest allegories on the "Save the Earth" theme.<br />

And everyone was keen to talk, to ask questions, to exchange<br />

ideas. There were of course the "heavies" and the<br />

saints -- Barbara Ward, Maurice Strong and Mother Tereza --<br />

but some of the best discussions came with much less eminent<br />

people.<br />

There were tensions and arguments, but the cornmunity<br />

imposed restraints on these differences. One in which many<br />

people got involved concerned the contest to design a new<br />

settlement for 500 families from the Manila slums, won by a<br />

young New Zealand architect, Ian Athfield. Speakers from<br />

the Philippines and elsewhere criticized the contest, mainly<br />

because the Marcos government had not consulted the people<br />

of the area; but nobody blamed Ian, and we all walked up<br />

the hillside to see the model house he had knocked together<br />

in five days. (Much more relevant tha_n Buckminister Fuller's<br />

$20,000 "Now" house).<br />

And most people also felt involved in the begirmings of a<br />

crusade, that had still a long way to go. This was a campaign<br />

to get governments to stop building nuclear plants for a long<br />

enough time to explore the possibilities of other energy sources.<br />

The campaign got nowhere with the delegates downtovvn, but<br />

many at the Forum simply accepted that this was going to be<br />

another matter about which the people would have to teach<br />

their governments some sense over the next few years.<br />

Among all the Appropriate Technology stalls and information<br />

booths in Hangar 8 were plenty of people who were deep<br />

into alternative energy sources. The NRC windmill (more<br />

like an egg-beater) high on the hillside, and Mr Chang from<br />

Fiji who knew all about turning pig-manure into methane gas<br />

and had lots of slides of his "digestors". Visions of a reassuring<br />

future.<br />

Though the first excitement of the place wore off in a<br />

week, the second week was for many of us better than the<br />

first. People had given up unrealistic ideas of influencing<br />

the downtown delegates much, if at all. They had learnt<br />

to attend. They had built up a network of acquaintances.<br />

They were a live part of a stimulating community.<br />
