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 />

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 />
musicians at Brewer Park If you enjoyed this festival,<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 />

Mr. Mike McGuire.is unfortunately<br />
unable to attend the<br />
graduation ceremonies, for<br />
he is in the gym, attending<br />
to surnmer school registration.<br />
Wednesday June 30: Mr. Mc-<br />
Guire has been up since 5:00<br />
a.m. after a good three hours<br />
of sleep. He has merely to<br />
hire 75 extra teachers within<br />
three days. By 2:00 p.m. of<br />
the first day, there are only<br />
seven more to be hired.<br />
Monday <strong>July</strong> 5: Mr. McGuire<br />
runs in and out of the office,<br />
constantly. The secretary<br />
girl-Friday ( alias Miss Jacqueline<br />
Hogg) works from<br />
7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p,m.,<br />

No, it's not a scene from<br />
some movie. It's the beginning<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 />
no less ). Courses<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 />
into the routine and grind of<br />
school, but, for the first few<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 />

""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 />

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 />

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