Residents brainstorm 

on the future of Bank Street 

BY SYLVIE GRENIER 

On May 10, the Glebe Community Association launched the second phase 

of community consultations on the future of Bank Street. Phase two began 

with a brainstorming event on how the community would like to see the buildings 

and businesses along Bank Street develop, including the types of uses, design 

criteria and amenities. 

A group of residents offered their ideas about the following main issues: 

types of uses, building height, building location on properties, design guidelines, 

parking and transition from commercial use to residential use. This article 

provides a summary of what was said. 

TYPES OF USES 

There is a strong consensus on the desire to maintain and enhance the village 

mainstreet atmosphere of Bank Street. The following characteristics of 

Bank Street are highly praised: the walkability of the street, the ability to form 

personal relationships with merchants, the opportunity to have informal encounters 

along the way, and the variety of small retail stores that provide 

unique goods and services responding to the daily needs of residents. 

Participants recommended development with a mix of uses, including retail 

on the ground floor with office and residential uses above. They wanted to encourage 

the small independently owned shops because they provide a shopping 

experience different from that in a suburban mall and help create the 

identity of the Glebe. 

We should build on the success of the section between Glebe Avenue and 

Fifth, and extend mixed-use development with small-scale retail stores north 

to the Queensway and south to the canal. Integrating small public spaces and 

Central Park with the street is also seen as contributing to the quality of the 

street. 

Participants listed uses that could be discouraged along Bank Street: big 

box retail and parking lots. There is a also concern that the number of drinking 

establishments is increasing to a critical point where Bank Street could 

turn into a bar strip, increasing rents too much to sustain the small independent 

shops. 

BUILDING HEIGHT 

The general consensus was that the building height on Bank Street should 

be fairly low to promote the village character and to protect pedestrians from 

shading and wind. The minimum building height discussed varied from two to 

three storeys and the maximum height varied from three to six storeys. Anything 

higher than three storeys should be set back from the street to allow sunlight 

to reach the street more easily and to preserve a visually continuous, 

pedestrian-friendly scale.

Art in the Park: 

the sun shines after all! 

BY BHAT BOY 

There was one word on everybody's lips on the first day of Art in the Park: 

RAIN! It didn't stop coming down all day, but despite this, more than 90 per 

cent of the artists set up their work. Many brave art-hunters, armed with plastic 

coats, waterproof hats and cash, came to pick their way through the muddy 

park. It all happened despite the rain. Oddly enough, the only thing the rain 

didn't dampen was our spirits. The bellydancers even went on as scheduled at 

1 p.m. There was a wider selection of artists than ever before this year, creating 

everything you could ever imagine. As the day wore on, Bridgehead actually 

ran out of coffee, the grey sky grew greyer and wet feet became wetter. 

The exodus from the park at 5 p.m. on Saturday looked for all the world 

like a scene from a disaster film. The mud was at critical mass, but we all 

woke up on Sunday morning to sunshine and Art in the Park had its most successful 

day ever, running late for the first time in its history. I have been involved 

in every Art in the Park since its inception in 1993 and each one is a 

different animal. Over time, the festival is continually evolvingthis flexibility 

is part of what makes it alive.

ART IN OUR GARDENS, JULY 8-9 

This is not an Abbotsford event, but has become a popular summer highlight. 

Glebe artists-cum-gardeners welcome visitors to share the enjoyment of 

their colourful gardens and works of art. Each year they pick a charity to receive 

the donations their viewers contribute. This time, Abbotsford House, a 

non-profit organization, is most grateful to be the chosen recipient. 

Here are examples of some of Abbotsford's continuing activities: 

FITNESS FOR ALL 

Abbotsford's fitness classes are popular all year. Summer instructors include: 

Jackie Diguer (aerobics), Laurel Anderson (beginners' flow yoga), 

Nancy Novitsky (muscle toning) and Chris Rogers (cardio combo and muscle 

toning).

opera clubs. The play-reading and book clubs are taking the summer off, but 

these friendly groups plan to resume meeting in September. 

COMMUNITY OUTREACH 

"What a difference a day away makes," to paraphrase a line from a popular 

old song. The Day Away program is offered four days a week for people 

in the early stages of Alzheimer's or related dementias. It also gives caregivers 

at home a day of rest. 

The Luncheon Club meets twice weekly. It provides transportation for 

seniors who may be challenged by mobility issues or loneliness, bringing 

them together for a nourishing meal and a variety of activities. 

The new Summer Program Guide will be available at the Abbotsford House

Nell keeps the rockers rocking at this year's Jailhouse Rock-a-Thon. 

The Glebe Centre "rocks" 

BY SUE WALKER 

On Sat., May 6, The Glebe Centre was "rocking" to the sounds of Elvis at 

their ninth annual Rock-a-Thon. This year's theme was Jailhouse Rock and 

the fundraising goal was $25,000, with all proceeds going to support programs 

and services for residents and clients of The Glebe Centre. 

This event is the premier fundraiser for The Glebe Centre and it would not 

be possible without the generous support of the loyal community sponsors. 

The premier sponsor of this event is Capcorp Financial and other major sponsors 

include Scotiabank, Lord Lansdowne Retirement Residence, Loeb Glebe 

and Tri-Co Printing. 

The Glebe Centre would like to thank all of this year's sponsors and teams 

who joined together to rock away the afternoon while being entertained by 

special guests Ashley Wright; Jim Watson, Honorary Chair; "Elvis" (Shawn 

Berry); and Nell and Mike Fahey. This year's goal was exceeded and everyone 

looks forward to the milestone tenth anniversary of Rock-a-Thon in 2007.

Editor, Glebe Report: 

Thank you, dear Gwendolyn 

Best, for your message beautifully 

painted on the lid of the garbage 

can, located near the Memorial 

bench in The Pantry garden. Tim. 

Bertrand, maintenance supervisor of 

the Glebe Community Centre, went 

out of his way to make a very practical 

lid for the garbage can to prevent 

it from filling up with rain water. 

All winter long. Carolyn and I 

emptied the animal waste, which 

Glebites strolling by carelessly 

dropped into the can. I do hope 

everyone can read. Absolutely no

NEWS Glebe Report June 16, 2006 3 

Residents brainstorm on 

the future of Bank Street 

cont'd from page 1 

Taller building heights might be acceptable at some locations, such as adjacent 

to the Queensway and the canal or on corner sites. However, height 

should be determined according to human scale, usually with a ratio of building 

height to street width that creates a comfortable sense of enclosure for 

pedestrians. 

BUILDING POSITION ON THE PROPERTY 

There was a general agreement that buildings should be located at the edge 

of the property line near the sidewalk and touching the adjacent buildings, 

creating a continuous compact streetscape. Exceptions could be made for the 

creation of gardens (e.g., the Baptist Church's side garden at Fourth Avenue) 

or informal gathering spaces (e.g., the outdoor patios of Feleena's or Starbucks). 

DESIGN GUIDELINES 

Participants mentioned the importance of improving the visual quality of 

the streetscape. They recommended greening the street and burying hydro 

wires. They saw the blocks between Glebe Avenue and Fifth Avenue as reflecting 

the identity of the Glebe. They would like to see design guidelines for 

new development that respect the architectural character of the existing buildings 

and extend it all the way to the Queensway and the canal. It was also suggested 

that a Heritage District designation be explored as a tool for managing 

change. 

Design guidelines should ensure that the buildings are designed to enhance 

the pedestrian experience. This would include providing lots of doors and 

windows facing the street to create a transparency between the buildings and 

the street, while respecting the rhythms and patterns of the existing windows 

and entrances. 

Participants recommended maintaining the continuous narrow building 

façades and filling the gaps created by under-developed parcels. The short 

blocks on Bank Street create easy access to the back through the side streets. 

This facilitates the creation of a continuous street façade with no gaps. Parking 

lots should not be permitted in front of or beside buildings not abutting 

the street. 

Larger commercial businesses should be designed to be compatible with 

the village small-scale retail character of the street. The redevelopment of the 

under-utilized properties along the street, such as former service stations, is 

seen as desirable to create a continuous and interesting streetscape. 

- In terms of signage, suggestions included the provision of wall-mounted 

commercial signs and lights in scale with the village character of the street. 

Participants feel that strong design guidelines would protect and enhance 

the unique identity of Bank Street. It would also make it attractive to business 

and property owners because the rules would be known, apply to everyone 

and be endorsed by the community, making the development process more 

predictable. 

PARKING 

The provision of parking for customers from outside the neighbourhood is 

perceived as an issue. At the same time, it was noted that the most successful 

retail part of the street has the smallest parking supply. Participants made the 

following suggestions to increase the number of parking spaces: build underground 

parking to meet parking requirements of new developments and explore 

the feasibility of building a parking facility off Bank Street. 

OTHER ISSUES 

The transition between commercial and residential use is considered an important 

issue due to the impact of commercial activities along Bank Street on 

adjacent properties. Other issues were raised such as improved use of Lansdowne 

Park, commercial rent increases and the ability or willingness of property 

owners to invest in their properties. 

NEXT STEP 

What is evident from the brainstorming is that Glebe residents appreciate 

the small scale and pedestrian-friendliness of Bank Street and would like to 

improve on what is already a great street. Community input on how to do that 

will help ensure that Bank Street remains a thriving "people" space. The next 

step is to establish a committee to draft a community vision and design principles 

over the summer for further community consultation in the fall. We 

hope to publish a draft in the Glebe Report in August. To volunteer for the 

committee, e-mail your contact information to GCA @theglebeon line.com. 

Art in the Park 

cont'd from page 1 

This year, one of the 

vendors who was NOT 

accepted into Art in the 

Park set up a "Salon des 

Refusées" on Clemow Av- 

enue. T was asked by a 

number of people vvhy 

this person, whose work 

was of excellent quality, 

was refused entry. What 

we are looking for is creativity 

and originality in 

the artists we accept, and 

the artist in question assembled 

beautiful jewellery, 

but lacked elements 

created by the artist 

herself. In addition to this, 

the artist was representing 

at least one other artist. 

Our registrants at Art 

in the Park are only allowed 

to share their area 

with another artist if they 

are exhibitin2 collaborative 

pieces. In addition to 

ILLUSTRATION 

BHAT BOY 

this, all things not being equal, it is sometimes difficult to assess an artist 

based on three photographs and we have more applicants than positions available. 

We try to distribute opportunity as evenly as possible, but some people 

have to be turned away and life is not always perfectly fair. There are many 

venues available to sell goods assembled from mass-produced elements, but 

Art in the Park is not one of them. 

Another question I was asked was why no children were represented in the 

show. We would like to have a dedicated children's area next year and are currently 

looking for someone to co-ordinate this program. 

In the next issue of the Glebe Report, look for an article about the 2006 Art 

in the Park winner of a Glebe Collegiate Institute scholarship. 

We are pleased to have created the opportunity for both the artists and the 

community to come together once again in a wonderful weekend of magic. 

We look forward to seeing everyone again next June.

A Canadian Citizenship Story 

Recently, I had the opportunity to witness someone very close to me 

become a Canadian citizen. My American-bom husband, Ted, after 10 

years here in Canada, finally applied for citizenship in December 2005. 

He was told it would take 12-18 months at the very least, so we figured 

we wouldn't hear anything for two years minimum, and on we went 

with our lives. 

Then in March, much to our surprise, Ted received a letter from the 

citizenship office that the citizenship test date would be in two weeks. 

He completed the test and came home thinking that we wouldn't hear 

from them again for a while. Then, a few weeks later, he received another 

notice that he was scheduled to take the oath of citizenship in one 

week!on April 27. 

Well, that was quick. Was there a catch? This wasn't possible. The 

whole wait time was about five months total. This never happens (to us, 

anyway). We didn't even have to drive! The building where this ceremony 

was being held was just under the bridge on Catherine Street, just 

on the edge of the Glebe. How convenient! 

So we took the kids and off we went. Everything was very organized. 

We sat and waited there, in a sterile-looking room with plain chairs 

against the walls. There were about 80 people from 30 different countries, 

along with their guests, friends and relatives. Two staff members 

gathered up everybody's old identification as the soon-to-be-citizens 

lined up to go into the "special room." Shortly after everyone was settled 

inside, their guests were allowed to join them and the ceremony 

started. Judge Suzanne Pinel recited the most heartfelt and memorable 

speech I have heard in a long time. Everyone took the oath together and 

sang our national anthem. At that moment, I felt so proud to be a Canadian. 

It was a very touching moment for me and, of course, 

for my husband Ted. 

If you have never been to one of these ceremonies, 

I highly recommend it. You are 

Canadian after all. Celebrate Canada 

this Canada Day! 

Happy summer everyone. See you 

in August.

Glory be! Flora at 80 

BY CLYDE SANGER 

It really was "Glory be!" when Floranobody feels the need to add her 

family name of MacDonaldcelebrated her 80th birthday on Parliament Hill 

on June 4. A lovely sunny Sunday, and the party open to anyone who found 

their way past the odd statue of Mackenzie King to the courtyard inside the 

East Block. 

Everything done in style. The jolly company called to order by the Usher 

of the Black Rod in the Senate. Serenaded by the saxophone quartet of the 

Governor-General's Foot Guards and, of course, by the Pipe Major from the 

Cameron Highlanders. Three great womenAlexa McDonough, Landon 

Pearson and Marjory LeBretongave greetings (they all kept to a fiveminute 

limit) and a merry one from Joe Clark, who as prime minister in 1979 

chose Flora as his foreign minister. 

And Flora in the thick of the throng, trim in a green outfit, chatting to 

everyone and laughing. When my turn came, I gave her the power bar I 

hadn't eaten on the Aga Khan Foundation sponsorship walk that morning, 

and she gave me a big hug. Not that she needs a power bar. She never chose 

to take a Senate seat, like two of her greeters. instead, she has spent the last 

two decades trekking around fairly inaccessible places, from the eastern 

Congo to the far reaches of Tibet, working for NGOs that do quiet things 

well, with peasant farmers or grandmothers of AIDS orphans. 

She has lived in the high-rise on Third Avenue for all these years, and 

you'll often see her among the Bank Street shoppers. Equally often, she is off 

on her travels, with her heart spread between her native Nova Scotia and the 

taller bits of the Himalayas. She had to give up speed-skating after damaging 

a tendon on the way up to Base Camp on Everestthat's 23,000 feet up! 

The folks at the courtyard party mirrored her activities and passions. The 

veterans were there, like Norma Walmsley, founder of MATCH International, 

the women's aid agency. And younger activists, too, like Carolyn McAskie, 

a former Glebite, back from doing the top UN job in Burundi and newly 

appointed assistant secretary general to build up the UN peace-building support 

office. 

Lots of good things were said and memories recalled. Landon Pearson, the 

now retired Senator for Children, told me she regretted not saying in her 

speech that the Indian government had given Flora, alone of any foreigner, its 

highest honour ("the equivalent of the Order of Canada"). But then, who 

thinks of Flora as a foreigner anywhere? Glory be, and happy birthday.

Underground Sound 

recognized for civic activism 

The Underground Sound committee was honoured with certificates of 

achievement for community activism at the Civic Appreciation Awards held 

at City Hall on May 3. Mayor Bob Chiarelli and Capital Ward Councillor 

Clive Doucet presented Underground Sound co-chair Leslie Fulton with 

certificates to recognize the group's contribution to the community. "It was 

a real honour, especially as this is our first year," said Fulton. "It's great that 

the city recognizes the volunteers who work hard to make our neighbourhoods 

better places." 

The committee is comprised of Ian Boyd, June Creelman, Doreen Drolet, 

Jim McKeen, Linda Reiss, Janet Sutherland and Caroline Vanneste. Underground 

Sound is a joint venture between the Glebe Community Association 

and the Glebe Business Group. 

Seven concerts, featuring top-name Juno award-winners and nominees, 

were held at the Glebe Community Centre this past year to raise money and 

awareness of the importance of burying the hydro wires along Bank Street 

during the upcoming reconstruction. Approximately $25,000 was raised in the 

inaugural year. The series was sponsored by six local businesses: Compact 

Music, Davidson's Jewellers, Glebe Pharmasave Apothecary, Capital Home 

Hardware, Loeb Glebe and ScotiaBank. Four concerts are in the planning 

stages for the next season. starting in September. Details will be announced at 

a later date.

Heather Crowe's legacy 

the Smoke-Free Ontario Act 

BY ASHWIN SHINGADIA 

Heather Crowe, a Glebe resident 

for over 25 years and a non-smoker, 

was diagnosed with cancer from 

second-hand smoke in 2002. After 

that, she worked tirelessly to ban 

smoking from the Workplace until 

her death on Mon.. May 22, just a 

week before the implementation of 

the Smoke-Free Ontario Act on May 

31, 2006. 

Born in Nova Scotia, raised by a 

Mi.kmay mother, Heather moved to 

Ottawa in the late 1970s. bought a 

house in the Glebe and worked as a 

waitress in many restaurants, the last 

one being the Newport Restaurant 

on Richmond Road. In those days, 

smoking in restaurants was the 

norm. 

Heather won a historic case obtaining 

workers' compensation benefits 

for exposure to second-hand 

smoke. Then she began a campaign 

to make Canada smoke-free. She appeared 

in Health Canada advertisements 

against second-hand smoke in 

the workplace, gave speeches in 

schools, and lobbied cities and 

provincial and territorial governments. 

Among the many awards she received 

is the World Health Organization 

avvard for public service, 

given only to six people in the 

Western Hemisphere each year. 

Adrienne Clarkson, the former 

Governor-General, awarded her the 

Meritorious Service Decoration for 

activities that bring honour to the 

community. 

The Smoke-Free Ontario Act will 

replace the patchwork of mies by 

municipalities, banning smoking in 

all enclosed work and public places, 

including taxis and company vehicles. 

Ottawa had already implemented 

this legislation five years ago. 

Similar bans are coming into effect 

this year in other provinces, 

ing Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, 

Manitoba, Quebec, Nunavut and the 

Northwest Territories. However, 

smoking in bars and restaurants is 

still allowed in British Columbia and 

Prince Edward Island. Workplace 

smoking rooms are allowed in Newfoundland 

and Saskatchewan. In Alberta, 

smoking is prohibited where 

children are present and a ban is being 

considered in the Yukon. 

Some states in the U.S. have bans. 

New York City implemented a complete 

ban in 2003. European countries 

with bans include Ireland, Italy, 

Malta, Norway and Sweden, with the 

most recent being Scotland (March 

2006), expected to be followed by 

Northern Ireland, England and Wales 

(2007).

GCA 

Farmers' Market starts 

July 2 at Lansdowne Park 

Fresh local produce will be just a 

short walk away when the new 

Farmers' Market starts at Lansdowne 

Park (945 Bank) on Sun., July 

2. Markets will be held every 

Sunday from 8 am. to 4 p.m. This is 

the only market in the city where all 

the produce will be locally grown. 

This is a pilot project, so if you think 

a farmers' market is a good thing, 

make sure to give it your support.

CUTS for this show of support. 

NEW GCA BOARD 

By the time you read this, a new 

GCA president and board of directors 

will have been elected. Several 

longtime GCA board members are 

moving on after several years of 

service to the community. Thanks 

are due to Catherine Bell, Chris 

Bradshaw, George Holland, Brian 

Mitchell, Anne Scotton, Diana Tyndale 

and Lisa Weinberger. Even 

though I'm stepping down as president, 

I'll remain on the board as past 

president, so I'll still be involved. 


Look for news of your new board in 

the August issue of the Glebe Report. 

If you need to reach the GCA 

in the meantime, contact us at 

gca@theglebeonline.com. 

HAVE A GOOD SUMMER! 

On behalf of the GCA board, I 

wish you all a good summer. Enjoy 

the new Farmers' Market at Lansdowne 

and all the great activities our 

community has to offerfrom tennis 

at St. James, to camps at the GCC, to 

the wading pool at Lansdowne Park, 

as well as shopping/sipping on Bank 

Street. Enjoy the holidays. 

NEXT GCA MEETING 

will be held on Tues., June 27, 

7:30 p.m., at the Glebe Community Centre. 

TRAFFIC 

MEASURES 

Cross your fingers! The GCA will 

go to the city's Transportation Committee 

in late June with a proposal to 

ban right-hand tums (e.g., westbound 

towards Dow's Lake) from 

Torrington and Broadway onto 

Queen Elizabeth Driveway during 

the morning weekday peak from 7-9 

am. , Since 40 per cent of morning 

traffic goes right at Torrington, 

rather than left towards downtown, 

this prohibition should significantly 

reduce traffic volumes. Also part of 

the plan is a proposal to prohibit 

left-hand turns from Bronson onto 

Madawaska during the morning 

rush hour. 

This revision to the Glebe Traffic 

Plan was supported in a public consultation 

on June 6 and has been endorsed 

by the Dow's Lake Residents' 

Association and by the Old 

Ottawa South Community Association. 

It has also been accepted by 

city staff and by the NCC. If the 

committee and council agree, we 

may have some action to reduce 

traffic volumes on Findlay-Broadway-TotTington 

by as much as 40 

per cent this summer. 

If the measures go ahead, the city 

has promised to monitor the situation 

and take action to implement 

additional traffic calming measures, 

if we see that the displaced traffic is 

having unanticipated effects elsewhere. 

Medium and longer-term actions 

regarding right-hand turns on 

Bronson will await a study of impacts 

on Sunnyside. 

APOLOGY 

Last month, we ran some photos 

of the traffic problems on Findlay- 

Broadway-Torrington which were 

incorrectly attributed. They were 

photographed by Allan Miller, who 

has taken hundreds of photos to document 

the traffic problems there. We 

apologize to Mr. Miller and thank 

him for all his help. 

BOLLARDS DOWN 

AT McKALE'S 

Several residents contacted the 

GCA with concerns about cement 

bollards erected by the city that 

blocked access to McKale's Service 

Centre (at Bank and Fifth). Thanks 

to the city for quickly responding to 

cotnplaints and removing the bollards. 

The GCA is also working with 

McKale's to see if we can find ways 

to resolve access and illegal parking 

issues there, while retaining a pedestrian-friendly 

streetscape with trees 

and benches. 

WELCOMING OUR 

BEAT COPS 

I don't know if it was a coincidence 

or good luck, but a few days 

before the GCA was scheduled to 

appear before the Police Services 

Board to ask for a beat cop, we got a 

call saying that a new beat squad had 

been created. Now we'll have increased 

foot patrols, an enhanced 

police presence and some dedicated 

cops who will get to know our 

neighbourhood and whom we'll get 

to know in turn. The officers have 

asked us to organize a community 

meeting come fall so that they can 

find out about residents' issues and 

concerns. We will organize something 

in September.

8 Glebe Report June 16, 2006 GCA 

GCA thanks its many volunteers 

BY DOREEN DROLET 

The month of May was membership 

month. The strength of the 

Glebe Community Association's is 

founded on the size of its membership. 

Area and block representatives 

have been the fundamental building 

blocks of the GCA since it was 

founded in 1967. The membership 

campaign is a massive effort that involves 

hundreds of volunteers going 

door to door. This gives us a strong 

membership base. Last year, we registered 

over 4,000 members, but also 

this yearly face-to-face contact 

with residents is another way to 

keep in touch with community issues. 

The GCA would like to thank all 

of the volunteers who help out with 

its membership drive every year. We 

appreciate your support. A special 

mention and thank you to Janet Still 

and John McLeod for their longtime 

commitment to GCA membership-- 

they have been canvassing for over 

13 years each. We try to have a representative 

on every block, but this 

is not always possible. Your house 

may have not been canvassed or you 

may have not been home when our 

representatives knocked on your 

door. Please help out by registering 

year-round online or by the end of 

June in person at the Glebe Community 

Centre.

WHAT IS GLEBE 

LEADERSHIP? 

Glebe Leadership (GL) is a dynamic 

and innovative program for 

youth (12-15 years) that encourages 

and promotes skills, a positive attitude, 

volunteer spirit, recreation, a 

healthy lifestyle and, most importantly. 

leadership. The GL program 

is offered in four distinctive themes: 

community service and development, 

extreme leader, camping, and 

GL expressions. These themes allow 

us to teach leadership topics in a variety 

of ways, ensuring that we are 

able to address and accommodate 

multiple intelligences. GL is a step 

above and beyond camp. It encourages 

and fosters individual growth, 

proactive participation, friendships 

and activities outside one's comfort 

zone. GL leaders are also given a 

good deal of responsibility, opportunities 

to solve problems and support 

to work to the best of their ability. 

The following are a few quotes 

from some of our summer 2005 GL 

oraduates: 

"Amazing camp, lots of great 

and extreme adventures." 

"I can't wait to come back next 

year." 

"To lead well...you must be led 

well." 

"GLC rocks! I can't think of one 

thing I would want to change! If 

you change one gear, the clock 

won't work." 

"Leadership camp taught me not 

to judge people by their bathing 

suits!" 

If you would like more information 

regarding our GL program,

NEWS Glebe Report June 16, 2006 11 

Jane Jacobs a retrospective 

BY JOHN LEANING 

I was saddened to hear recently 

of the death of an old 

friend of mine, Jane Jacobs, 

the author who did so much to 

raise concerns about the way 

North American cities were 

going in the post-war years. 

While she was being read internationally. 

I was working in 

much the same vein in Ottawa, 

trying to get people out of their 

cars and onto their feet. Looking 

at Ottawa now and its 

mostly inevitably suburban citizens 

who seem to have no 

clear economic alternative or 

wish but to be car-dependent, I 

believe we have only partially 

succeeded. 

I first met Jane in downtown 

Manhattan in the mid-sixties. 

She and her family were living 

in a rather decrepit house surrounded 

by enormous sky- 

scrapers. I 

mentioned to her 

N 

over a cup of tea that many of 

us in Canada were concerned 

about the issues she raisedthat 

liveability was more important 

than profitability: I remember her 

putting down her cup with a bang: 

"Then that's where I am going to 

live." L& and behold, a few short 

'yeaYS later she moved tO Toronto. 

She came to Ottawa to visit in the 

mid-seventies. By then, 1 had quit 

being architect and civic designer 

with the National Capital Commission 

and was working on urban reyi, 

1h 

talization in the Glebe and Centretown, 

so she was an inspiring guest 

who assisted me greatly. 

It was about the time when many 

people were emigrating to Canada, often 

expecting to improve their material 

circumstances and their finances. 

Spoiling the cityscape was not usually 

their prime concern, except when they 

rued having left more civilized envi- 

, ronments in the Old, World. If. ,they 

ILLUSTRATION: GWENDOLYN BEST 

could not make it here, 

then they would move 

south to the States. 

Jane and I were very 

concerned about the lack 

of concern for the innercity 

environment and its 

demolition to create a 

more profitable Manhattan 

North. I had been a 

resident of the Glebe 

since 1957 and had witnessed 

the beginnings of 

the destruction of the older 

residential area nearby 

in the euly seventies, fortunately 

soon arrested by 

civic action against the 

profiteers. Meanwhile, 

with her literary skills, 

Jane was dealing with the 

problem continent-wide. 

Jane was a very private 

person, notwithstanding 

her increasingly international 

status. I suggested 

inviting people to meet 

her while she was here, 

but she declined. She did 

not wish to be put on show and emphatically 

said, "No!" 

Now, though she has passed away, 

I know she would not regard that 

event as tragic or sad. It happens to 

us all eventually," she would have 

said, "and anyway we are all living 

far too long, using up precious earthly 

resources." She would only have 

regretted not -being able to complete 

another book.

specializing in the sale and 

service of new and used bicycles, 

opened its doors in April 1976, at 

857 Bank Street (the current 

home of Creative Floorworx 

Inc.). The store was organized by 

Jim Corrigan and Basil Trudeau, 

and was staffed entirely by Glebe 

Collegiate graduates. It was the 

first shop in the Glebe specializing 

in the increasingly popular 

sport of cycling. (Southpaw Cycles 

lasted in this location until 

1980.) 

On May 1, 1976. Sunshine Trading 

Company, a natural food store, 

opened at 590 Bank Street (the current 

home of Artguise Gallery). 

Owner Ken Fraser, formerly an electrical 

contractor, had difficulty finding 

low-price, high-quality natural 

food in Ottawa, so decided to go into 

the business himself. Prices were 

kept low because everything was 

sold in bulk, and customers did the 

packaging, weighing and pricing 

themselves. (The Sunshine Trading 

Company remained in this location 

until 1982.) 

In early June of 1976, the Lightning 

Bakery opened at 586 Bank 

Street (now part of Olga's Deli & 

Catering). Owner and operator 

Michael Crutehlow had established a 

reputation as a baker over the preceding 

two years, supplying several 

Ottawa health-food restaurants with 

bread, bagels and cookies. Michael 

hoped to expand his product line in 

the future to serve people on wheatfree 

diets, as there was no other bakery 

in Ottawa that catered to these 

special diet needs. (The Lightning 

Bakery was in business here until 

1999.)

GLEBE QUESTIONS 

After Heather, the heroes are still with us 

By 

Clyde 

Sanger 

When Heather Crowe, who lived 

on Fifth Avenue, died after four 

years of campaigning against second-hand 

smoke that had given her 

lung cancer, all the media stories 

hailed the 61-year-old woman as a 

hero. This started a debate in our 

household about heroes and heroworship 

that, in fact, began after rereading 

those essays written by the 

Scottish historian Thomas Carlyle in 

I 841. 

The months of April and May witnessed 

the death of other quite heroic 

figures: Jane Jacobs, whose books 

on cities will have an enduring influence 

for planners and activists 

(ask Clive Doucet!) and John Kenneth 

Galbraith, the Ontario-born 

economist and advisor to President 

Kennedy. Nearer home came the 

death of John Small, one of the best 

,and humblest of Canada's ambassadors 

(Pakistan, Afghanistan and 

China, where he'd been born as a 

child of missionaries or "rnishkid"). 

In our debate, Penny and I had 

first to define a hero, particularly 

what she or he is not. Not a role 

model, and not necessarily someone 

,whom you want to know personally: 

a man or woman, though, you are 

very glad is there and doing the 

things he or she is doing. Despite the 

imminence of the World Cup, we 

dismissed sporting stars as heroes, 

and politicians hardly got a mention. 

We decided to make a short list of 

our Living Heroes. That cut out our 

mothers, a usual choice for most 

men of middle age. Carlyle interestingly 

chose his (dead) heroes in five 

categories: a prophet (Mohammed), 

two poets (Dante and Shakespeare), 

two priests (Luther and Knox), tvvo 

men of letters (Samuel Johnson and 

Robbie Burns), and two so-called or 

self-made "kings" (Cromwell and 

Napoleon). Our list is different. 

Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratic 

leader of Burma, was a joint 

choice. She has spent I 1 of the past 

16 years, since winning an overwhelming 

election victory, under 

house arrest by the thuggish and essentially 

stupid junta of generals 

who have wrecked that beautiful 

country. On May 27, the junta extended 

her latest four-year confinement 

by another six months, since 

she wouldn't agree, if released, to 

stay completely out of politics. Yet 

she has always pleaded for non-violence 

and reconciliation. 

Aung San Suu Kyi 

Penny's next choice was Murray 

Thomson, another "mish-kid" from 

China who went into adult education, 

became a Quaker, moved from 

development work (boss of CUSO) 

to peace activism. He has inspired 

the birth of half a dozen NGOs and 

today (now in his eighties) plays 

both tennis and the violin, has three 

games of chess on the go (you can, 

with the Internet) and writes jokey 

verse. Murray is a cross between 

Gandhi and Ogden Nash. 

I contributed Manitoba-born Pat 

Mooney. Virtually blind since birth, 

he has, over the past 40 years, 

thought out and pursued more imaginative 

ideas in international development 

than anyone I know. Always 

concerned about power relationships, 

he has championed peasant 

farmers with their inherited knowledge 

against the global seed companies 

(how did he see to do all that 

computer work?), attended the biodiversity 

conference in Brazil to urge 

the continuing moratorium on "terminator" 

seeds, and once again is 

ahead of the NGO pack in his concern 

about great corporations gaining 

patents on unproven nanotechnology. 

Nelson Mandela had to be on our 

list of heroes, the only politician. 

(Julius Nyerere would have been, but 

he died in 1999). I met Mandela, a 

young lawyer, in Ethiopia in 1963 

when he was pestered by journalists 

about whether he was heading the 

militants in the African National 

Congress. Perhaps Mandela was 

then, of necessity, but he emerged

Likewise, Julius Nyerere, when he 

was asked in Ottawa by Hugh Winsor, 

Globe & Mail columnist, what 

was his proudest achievement, 

replied: "Handing on my country in 

peace." 

In the same vein. Penny contributed 

Betty Reardon, professor at 

Columbia University and founder of 

the Peace Education Center in its 

Teachers College. Her many books 

and travels (to Japan and Korea, in 

particular) have established her as 

enormously influential in getting 

peace studies established in the curriculum 

and in advancing children's 

global literacy. 

Murray Thomson 


Craig Kielberger I had to add: 

starting at 12 to campaign against 

child labour in the Asian carpet industry, 

creating with brother Marc 

the Free the Children organization 

and now, at 23, Leaders Today for 

the 18-30 age-group. He says he 

learned much from street children: 

"They never give up hope." 

Finally. Penny's choice of Anne 

Lindsay, about whom we know little 

except that she is Canadian and has 

changed the way millions of people 

think of meals with her book, Lighthearted 

Everyday Cooking, and her 

other best-sellers. 

They are all humble, focused, persistent 

and peaceable people. Tell 

me your list of heroes.

been installed to prevent drivers 

from using park pathways as shortcuts. 

New stop signs, street narrowings 

and bulbouts are all designed to 

slow cars down and give better visibility 

for pedestrians and drivers. 

Only one traffic calming measure 

has caught the attention, not just of 

our ward, but the entire citythe 

right-hand morning turning restrictions 

off Bronson into the Glebe. 

Drivers from as far away as Barrhaven 

are annoyed that they won't be 

able to cut through Findlay, Broadway 

and Ton-ington to reach the 

Queen Elizabeth Driveway. Currently, 

600 of them do it every hour in 

the morning peak period. 

Forbidding this turning motion 

has also caused a great deal of concern 

in our own ward, because staff 

studies show it could add about 60 

cars to Sunnyside which already has 

over 500 cars per hour in the morning 

peak period (this is the total of 

cars going in both directions). Needless 

to say, residents in Old Ottawa 

South weren't keen on the Bronson 

turn restrictions being implemented 

without including Sunnyside. 

The recommendation from city 

staff to approve the Bronson turn restrictions 

threw both communities 

into considerable anxietyresidents 

of the Glebe because they worried 

that they wouldn't be able to get the 

turn restrictions and Old Ottawa 

South because they might. 

Traffic planning is so difficult that 

unless there is consensus in ward 

communities about how to achieve 

it, the plan always fails at Transportation 

Committee. The opinion of 

my fellow councillors is always: 

"Well, if the ward can't make up its 

mind about what should be done, 

how do they expect us to do it?" 

Thus I was worried that we could 

lose all possibility of continuing 

with traffic calming plans for the 

ward. To try to circumvent this, 1 

asked that the report from city staff 

be defen-ed until a sub-committee of 

community leaders from both Old 

Ottawa South and the Glebe could 

meet with city staff and myself to see 

if a compromise solution could be 

found that was acceptable to each 

community. 

I believe we worked out very good 

short-terni and long-terni packages 

that keep traffic security plans moving 

forward for everybody. There are 

two measures: 

I. In the short term, put turn restrictions 

off Torrington onto the Queen 

Elizabeth Driveway towards Preston, 

but not towards Bank Street. This 

should reduce the cut-through on 

Findlay and Torrington by 40 per 

cent, but will not affect Sunnyside 

because it is not possible to use Sunnyside 

as an alternative cut-through 

to get to the Preston area. 

2. For the longer term, put the Bronson 

right-turn prohibitions on the 

shelf until a study of the inclusion of 

Sunnyside is completed. Right-hand 

turn prohibitions off Bronson should 

be co-ordinated with the beginning 

of the new north/south rail line, such 

that the public in the south as far as 

Barrhaven have a viable option to car 

usage. 

Hats off to hardworking community 

members June Creelman, Mike 

Jenkin, Leo Doyle, Guy Giguère, Diane 

Hiscox and Bob Brocklebank, 

and to Ravi Mehta from the citythey 

have all kept traffic calming 

moving forward for both Old Ottawa 

South and the Glebe. 

PROPERTY TAX REFORM 

We're making good progress here 

on many fronts. My request to the 

Ombudsman of Ontario for an enquiry 

into the property tax system 

was taken up and Mr. Marin's recommendations 

have been accepted 

by the province. The Mayor has requested 

that assessments be frozen 

until a solution is found. Our ward 

council, comprised of representatives 

from each community association 

in Capital Ward, recommended 

an alternative of Indexed Market Value 

assessment (actual sale price indexed 

to inflation). This has received 

favourable response in the press and 

I sent the reccommendations to Premier 

McGuinty with the suggestion 

that he pilot this system in Ottawa 

next year. All of this has achieved 

high visibility and considerable ma, 

mentum for change. and I remain optimistic 

that we will get the assessment 

system fixed. If you would like

Tax Assessment Study and Proposal,

Johnson in my office at 580-2487. 

GREAT GLEBE 

GARAGE SALE 

The sale lias become so successful 

that many people use it for many different 

purposes. Many charities from 

all over this city rent or borrow lawn 

space to raise money. Bank Street 

businesses use it as an opportunity 

for a sidewalk sale. It is even on the 

Internet. In many ways, it has become 

a logistic challenge. It may be 

useful to strike a community committee 

to look at hovv the Great 

Glebe Garage Sale has grown and 

how we can keep it successful.

Great Glebe Garage Sale 

notes another successful year 

BY JANET SUTHERLAND 

Another successful Great Glebe 

Garage Sale has come and gone. 

Each year it seems to get larger and 

more diverse, drawing more vendors 

and shoppers from across the region 

and making it an official Ottawa 

"special event." We had lots of media 

interest this year and we responded 

to at least 100 e-mails from 

inquiring shoppers, vendors and 

tourists. While this is a boon to those 

wanting to sell or buy goods, the 

motivating force remainssince its 

inception in 1986, the Great Glebe 

Garage Sale has aimed to raise 

funds for The Ottawa Food Bank. 

The Glebe Community Association 

(GCA) encourages vendors 

(and shoppers who saved money) to 

donate 10 per cent of their sale proceeds 

to this important Ottawa charity. 

Did you know that 38,500 people 

access the Food Bank each 

month? Contributions from the 

Great Glebe Garage Sale result in a 

much-needed boost to The Ottawa 

Food Bank's ability to meet increasing 

community needs. In the first 

week following the sale, $3,000 was 

donated to The Ottawa Food Bank. 

We hope that this is just the tip of 

the iceberg and that we will exceed 

our previous benchmark of $12,000 

reached in 2004. 

ff you haven't already done so, 

please consider making a donation 

as soon as possible: 

By mail: send a cheque to 

The Ottawa Food Bank, 

1317B Michael Street, 

Ottawa ON KlB 3M9 

By phone: call The Ottawa Food 

Bank directly at 613-745-7001. 

They can take Visa, MasterCard and 

American Express over the phone 

and answer any questions you may 

have. 

*Online: https://secure.csfm.com/ 

ottawa_foodbank/ 

Household vendors are not the 

only ones involved. In a new development 

this year, the GCA approached 

the Glebe Business Group 

to get involved formally in this 

worthwhile cause. They rallied with 

enthusiasm, with 30 members making 

pledges which will soon result in 

a collective donation to The Ottawa 

Food Bank of over $2,500. Thank 

you to the following Glebe merchants 

who participated in what is 

hoped will be an annual pledge campaign:

Lionel and Lillian Britton first

Ted Britton has taken over and continues 

to run one of the Glebe's oldest 

magazine stores. Ted Britton has 

made a few changes to the shop over 

the years, but has always offered the 

same great selection of cigars and 

smoking paraphernalia, a large selection 

of national and international 

magazines, and a variety of newspapers 

from all over the world. Within 

recent years, however, the demand 

for tobacco has decreased, so he felt 

it was time to change the focus of the 

store to include more magazines, 

newspapers and his most recent additionbooks! 

You can now find a selection of 

bestsellers. and books by Canadian

Ted has also opened a second location

Within the last few months, Ted 

Britton has been even busier promoting 

his newest project: an international 

newspaper kiosk. He and his 

business partner and longtime friend, 

Shahab Bakhtyar, now run Satellite 

Newspaper Kiosknot much bigger 

than a bank machine, but linked to 

electronic newspapers from around 

the world. 

"It's the first of its kind in Canada," 

says Ted. It can print newspapers 

from around the world within 

minutes! Just insert your credit card 

into the kiosk, make your selection 

on the touch-screen and within a 

minute or two, your newspaper will 

be printed out. 

The two friends decided to start 

this newspaper kiosk in Ottawa as 

they felt it was a perfect city for this 

service, with its abundance of embassies, 

hotels, foreign affairs and 

tourism. They hope to expand their 

new business to other major cities in 

Canada. You can find their Satellite

CHARLESFORT DEVELOPMENT: 

NEW SALES CENTRE 

IN THE GLEBE 

If you live in the Glebe, you've 

probably noticed and admired one of 

the several buildings designed by Ottawa 

developer Doug Casey of 

Charlesfort Developments. Some of 

their beautiful buildings in the Glebe 

are The Glasgow, The Clemow 

Towns and Central Park, to name 

just a few! 

Doug Casey, a resident of the 

Glebe, is renowned as an Ottawa developer 

with a beautiful style and an 

eye for detail. Within the last 25 

years, Doug Casey and his company 

Charlesfort Developments have created 

and developed several residen- 

PHOTO: DANA MCQUAID 

tial and commercial buildings in other 

Ottawa neighbourhoods, including 

New Edinburgh, Ottawa' South, 

Upper Town and along the Rideau 

Canal. 

Doug Casey's designs successfully 

capture the historical aspects of 

the neighbourhood and blend them 

with a contemporary design for a 

more modern look. He pays close attention 

to detail, making each one 

unique. A wide range of professionals 

are involved in the design 

process, including wrought-iron 

smiths, sculptors, stained-glass 

artists, landscape architects,. interior 

designers and more, to help achieve 

the beautiful design of each building. 

One of Charlesfort's most sirc, 

cessful projects is Jefferson Hall at 

130 Glebe Avenue beside St. 

Matthew's Anglican Church. Using 

the stonework from the old Church 

Hall, Doug Casey designed a 15-unit 

residential building which perfectly 

showcases his talent at integrating a 

contemporary design into an old 

neighbourhood. The architecture of 

Jefferson Hall is derived from the 

church itself and many will agree 

that it is one of the Glebe's most 

modern, unique buildings. Charlesfort 

Development received a Heritage 

Infill award from the City of 

Ottawa for Jefferson Hall and also 

received the Builder of the Year 2000 

award from the Ontario New Home 

Warranty program for excellence in 

design. 

Another of Doug Casey's successful, 

well-known projects in the area 

is Central Park just off Patterson Avenue. 

What makes this development 

unique is that it incorporated the mature 

trees on the property to integrate 

it more easily with the environment. 

Charlesfort also received a design 

excellence award from the Ottawa- 

Carleton Home Builders Association 

for this project. 

The next time you head to Starbucks 

in the Glebe for a cup of java, 

take a peek at the building the coffee 

shop is housed in at the corner of 

Bank and Third. Called the St. 

Charles project, it's another Charleston 

design and houses Starbucks, 

Roots and the Charlesfort Development 

Corporation's office and sales 

centre. Stop by to view their latest 

developments, including the new 

Hudson project which is being built 

in downtown Ottawa.

ENTERTAINMENT 

Talking with... is back! 

BY JC SULZENKO 

Here's the recipe for icing on the 

cake of this theatre season. Take the 

magic of a play that speaks with zest 

to the passages and issues women 

face in their lives. Add two Glebe 

women, theatre enthusiasts and professionals 

bothone with the experience 

to direct the play, the other 

with the moxie to pull together 

funding (no subsidies) for the 

largest independent professional 

theatre production in Ottawa since 

the touring mega-musicals, according 

to its producers. Sift with an Ottawa-based 

cast and production 

crew, professionals all. Stir in the 

excellent facilities of the Ottawa Little 

Theatre, now open to professional 

theatre productions when space 

allows. What have you got? 

The not-to-be missed return to 

Ottawa of Talking With.... June 21- 

30, by American playwright Jane 

Martin. Directed by Janet Irwin and 

produced by Barbara Crook and her 

CanPI ay Productions, this ac- 

claimed drama shares 11 compelling 

stories told by 1 1 amazing women. 

The collection of monologues spoken 

by a snake handler, a baton twir- 

ler, a daughter in mourning, a 

scarred woman covered in tattoos, to 

name a few, makes for memorable 

theatre. 

Barbara Crook reviewed the original 

1985 Ottawa production of 

Talking with... for The Ottawa Citizen. 

She never forgot the play's impact. 

In fact, she took the promotional 

poster for that production 

with her wherever she moved. Returning 

to Ottawa, she settled in our 

neighbourhood. After her CanPlay 

Productions became involved in 

professional productions in New 

York City, she wanted to take on a 

theatre project here. Talking vvith... 

was it: "Of course, I knew right 

away I wanted Janet Irwin to direct 

the show again." 

Janet, also a Glebe resident, directed 

the play's hit run here in 1985. 

She jumped at the chance to do it 

again: was keen to see how the 

play reads two decades later. It 

stands up. In fact, it stands up and 

shouts." Don't miss it. 

Tickets are available through the 

Ottawa Little Theatre box office at 

233-8948. More information can be 

found at www.talkingwith.ca.

Three candidates now in 

the running for Capital 

Ward councillor 

BY MICHELINE BOYLE 

Ian Boyd, Clive Doucet and Jay Nordenstrom have now declared their intention 

to seek the councillor seat for Capital Ward in the 2006 municipal 

election, scheduled to take place on Nov. 13. 

David Kealey, Jennie Aliman, lan Boyd, Mary Pal and Fred Litwin 

Photo: Giovanni 

Ian Boyd, the owner of Compact Music in the Glebe, officially declared his 

candidacy on May 23 and kicked off his campaign on May 29 at the Arrow 

and Loon Pub at Fifth and Bank. In Ian's view, the elected representative must 

create and maintain an ongoing dialogue with the ward's constituents in order 

to be able to meet the jurisdiction's needs better and to vote for the proper allocation 

of finite sets of resources. He believes that his business and financial 

experience make him the best candidate to represent the collective interests of 

the citizens of Ward 17. 

Sarah Fortier, Clive Doucet and Stuart Lister 

Photo: Etienne Ranger 

Clive Doucet, the incumbent, lives in the Glebe. He officially announced 

his candidacy on Apr. 24 and had a campaign kick-off at the Glebe Community 

Centre on Fri., June 9. Some of the accomplishments he is most proud of 

are the light-rail project, the preservation and renovation of the Glebe Community 

Centre, new greener streetscapes for Fifth Avenue and Craig Street, 

and a farmers' market for Lansdowne Park. The need to secure such local accomplishments 

and move on to the things that connect all citizens is what motivates 

him to run. He believes that insisting that the province change the present 

property assessment system to one based on an Index Market Sale Assessment 

will make the results fairer for all city residents; that smart-growth 

budgets should be adopted by council; and that an integrated public transit 

system serving all residents and not just peak-hour commuters is a priority. 

Jay Nordenstrom officially declared 

his candidacy on May 18 and 

had his campaign kick-off on Thurs., 

June 1, at the Thirsty Toad Pub at Bank 

and Riverside. He is a resident of Old 

Ottawa East and works as the director 

of government and industry affairs for 

a national transportation agency. He is 

concerned with some of the following 

issues. Property assessments: he 

favours a system that would better reflect 

one's ability to pay or one based 

on a more stable philosophy such as the 

square footage of the home. Term limits: 

he will propose that the Municipal Jay Nordenstrom 

Elections act be amended to limit incumbents 

to no more than three full terms. Public transit: while supporting the 

light-rail transit system, he believes the project is too expensive and should be 

monitored by the city auditor; he also believes that the provincial government 

should allow transit riders to deduct the cost of bus passes from their provincial 

income tax, and that increases in fares and passes should be tied only to 

the annual consumer price index. Finally, public safety: he supports the reinstatement 

of the beat cop to bring back community policing on our main 

streets. 

Letting it all hang out 

BY LIZ WYLIE 

It's morning. The birds are chattering, 

the squirrels are rummaging 

in the garden far below. I can hear 

life on Bank Street beginning to 

stir. I smell the lilacs from my 

neighbour's bush. The air is cool, 

clean and fresh, and so is my pile of 

wet laundry. The clothesline attached 

to the fire escape stairs 

stretches all the way up to the third 

floor of our home. From up here, 

the view of the Glebe is spectacular. 

This is bliss. I have my coffee 

on one side of me and my jar of 

wooden clothespins on the other. 

My life feels in balance. I like to 

take my time with this "job." There 

is no rush to be finished. While I'm 

pinching clothespins, I can enjoy 

the scent of flowers, the breeze, the 

sunshine. This is my therapy. The 

fabric of my life is here for all to 

see. I feel no shame as I hang up 

my polka-dot bra next to my 

stretched and threadbare underwear 

and the dishtowel with the raspberry 

juice stain that never came out. 

Clothes-dryer use has skyrocketed 

since the 1970s. Between six and 

ten per cent of residential energy is 

consumed by the household dryer, 

costing about 50 cents per load. By 

choosing not to own a dryer, one can 

save at least ten per cent on the hydro 

bill. (Use even less energy by 

choosing the cold-water cycle when 

washing, reserving warm water for 

your grimiest duds.) 

Air-dried laundry lasts longer, 

smells better, with no static cling to 

speak of. Outdoors, the sun helps to 

remove stains from white clothes 

and the ultraviolet rays kill bacteria 

and most fungi. Hanging laundry is 

not as time-consuming as one might 

imagine. Although I like to take my 

time, I can hang a large load in about 

10 minutes. In the winter months, I 

keep a collapsible clothes rack in my 


bedroom. This acts as a wonderful 

natural humidifier, keeping the air 

healthier to breathe at night. It's 

handywhen the clothes are dry, the 

closet is just steps away. 

Stiff laundry can be avoided by 

using less detergent (a good idea in 

any case). Wrinkles can be avoided 

by shaking out the clothes before 

pinning them, hanging them up on 

windy days and pinning clothes with 

the heavy part on the bottom (e.g., 

pants with belt loops down). 

When the laundry is dry, there is 

no shrill of a machine's buzzer to tell 

me I must hurry or else face the 

wrath of wrinkled shirts. I'm free to 

fold it when it suits me better yet, 

I can enjoy the warm sunshine and 

do my folding outside too.

He knew that Ottawa is a surprisingly 

vegetarian/vegan-friendly city. 

Being connected with Ottawa's vegan 

community through SimplyRaw, 

a business Mark and his wife 

Natasha run to promote healthier 

lifestyles, Mark felt that the potential 

for publishing an Ottawa vegetarian 

guidebook was good. 

The new Ottawa Veg Guide is a 

comprehensive directory of veggiefriendly 

businesses in Ottawa. It includes 

over 50 restaurants, health 

food stores, bakeries and other businesses 

in and around the city. The 

guide was produced by SimplyRaw 

as a contribution to the local community, 

intended to help make life 

easier for vegetarians, vegans and 

raw vegans.

HERITAGE Glebe Report June 16, 2006 21 

Heritage designations in the Glebe 

BY IAN McKERCHER - 

(With thanks to Sally Coitus of the 

City of Ottawa 's Heritage Staff for 

her invaluable assistance in writing 

this article.) 

BACKGROUND 

An increased concerti for the 

preservation of historic buildings 

and neighbourhoods led to the passage 

of the Ontario Heritage Act in 

1975. This legislation enabled municipalities 

to identify and protect 

properties of architectural and historic 

significance. 

The Ontario Heritage Act provides 

two ways to recognize and 

protect heritage properties. Part IV 

of the Act relates to individual heritage 

designations and Part V of the 

Act provides for heritage district 

designations. (see sidebar) 

INDIVIDUAL 

PROPERTY HERITAGE 

DESIGNATION 

Individual heritage designation 

applies to single properties that have 

a cultural heritage value. A building 

may be associated with an outstanding 

member of the community or it 

may have played a role in an important 

historical event. It may also 

have cultural heritage value if it is a 

good example of a particular type of 

building or architectural style or if it 

is the work of an important architect. 

Ottawa now has approximately 

3,500 properties designated, some 

individually designated and some in 

heritage conservation districts, rang- 

ing from Lowertown cottages to rural 

churches. Ten of these properties 

are in the Glebe, counting the fivedoor 

row of Queale Terrace at 304- 

312 Queen Elizabeth Drive as one 

designation. 

THE PROCESS 

Anyone can initiate a heritage designation 

by submitting a request for 

designation under the Heritage Act 

to the Planning and Growth Management 

Department of the City of Ottawa. 

Research is then done on the 

structure, focusing on its historic, architectural 

and contextual significance, 

and a two-phased evaluation 

takes place. If the structure is 

deemed worthy, a report is prepared 

for consideration by the Local Architectural 

Conservation Advisory 

Committee (LACAC) and by city 

council. The owner is notified, community 

support is solicited and the 

report is forwarded to LACAC and 

to council. If council supports the 

designation, an Intention to Designate 

is published in the city newspapers. 

Members of the public then 

have 30 days to respond to the proposed 

designation. City council enacts 

the designation by passing a bylaw. 

ALTERING 

A HERITAGE BUILDING 

Once a structure receives heritage 

designation, all major changes to the 

areas covered by the heritage designation 

must be approved by city 

council. Should an owner desire to 

change the appearance of a desig7 

nated building, he/she must submit 

an Application to Alter to Heritage 

staff of the Planning and Growth 

Management Department. Staff then 

prepares a report for the consideration 

of LACAC, the Planning and 

Environment Committee and city 

council. 

If the desired alteration does not 

detract from the building's heritage 

attributes, it may be allowed. For example, 

the developers of the condominium 

complex at 268 First Avenue 

wished to change the south entrance 

and add balconies on the east and 

west façades of the building. As the 

modifications respected the heritage 

character of the structure, they were 

allowed. 

The following pages show photos 

and descriptions of the ten properties 

in the Glebe with heritage designation. 

16 Pretoria Avenue 

(613) 565-0588 

cont'd on next page 

A district heritage designation 

can apply to a collection of 

buildings, streets or open spaces 

of special significance to the 

community. A district should 

convey a definite sense of time 

and place. In 2004, John Leaning, 

Heritage Chair of the Glebe 

Community Association, submitted 

a request to the city for 

the first district heritage designation 

in the Glebe. Named 

Central Park East Heritage Conservation 

District, the request 

applied to 65 addresses in the 

neighbourhood of Central Park 

east of Bank Street. This includes 

houses on Clemow Avenue, 

O'Connor Street, Glebe 

Avenue, Allan Place and Linden 

Terrace. They were either built 

by architect W: E. Noffke in the 

early 1900s, or are neighbours 

to a Noffke house. Work continues 

on this project.

Abbotsford House at 954 Bank Street 

The house was constructed for local businessman and land developer 

Alexander Mutchmor sometime between 1867 and 1872. It is a large, pitchedroof 

stone structure with multiple gables, fantastically decorated verge 

boards, quoins and a ground-floor brick bay window. It was purchased by Ottawa 

Mayor C.H. Mackintosh in 1879. In 1889, it became the Protestant 

Home for Aged Men. It has had several additions and currently functions as 

The Glebe Centre, offering recreational programming for resident seniors and 

the community. 

Mutchmor Public School at 185 Fifth Avenue 

The building dates from 1895, when it was designed by E.L. Norwood in 

the Romanesque Revival style. There were subsequent additions in 1911 and 

1920. There is a centrally-placed, round-arched entrance and a recessed door. 

Elaborate terra cotta imposts, a date stone and a pair of handsome wroughtiron 

gates further enhance the south (principal) façade. Brick is used with 

considerable accomplishment to create decorative features such as channels. 

a dog-toothed course and elaborate corbelling below the comice. 

First Avenue Public School at 73 First Avenue 

This building was constructed in 1898 in the Richardsonian Romanesque 

style, and is an excellent example of late 19th-century urban school architec- 

turc. It too was designed by E.L. Horwood, vvho served as Chief Dominion 

Architect during World War I. The symmetrical composition of the façade 

and the distinctive arched doorway, with its large brick voussoirs springirw 

from decorative terra cotta imposts, are prominent features of this style. A 

third floor was added in 1907 and major renovations were undertaken in 

1981, but the building retains a large degree of architectural integrity. 

The Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park 

The building by local architect Moses C. Edey was erected in 1898 in just 

two months at a cost of $75,000. The last remaining example of a popular 

style of 19th-century exhibition hall is impressive because of its large, column-free 

interior space-94 metres by 39 metres. In 1904, the original Ottawa 

Senators won the Stanley Cup here. It was extensively refurbished in 

1992. 

Queale Terrace at 304-312 Queen Elizabeth Driveway 

This whimsical masterpiece of Queen Anne Revival domestic architecture 

was built in 1906 for William R. Queale. The main structure is a two-storey, 

five-door row built of solid brick, with a flat roof hidden behind a fantastic 

façade of varying three-storey square brick towers, gables and cornices. It 

was laid out along a sawtooth plan that shows to best advantage from the 

Driveway.

The O'Connor Street Bridge at Patterson's Creek 

This reinforced-concrete arch, single-span bridge, constructed in 1907 by 

the Ottawa Improvement Commission (forerunner of the National Capital 

Commission), is attributed to Francis C. Sullivan. The low-profile arched 

bridge complements the curving creek shoreline, adding significantly to the 

aesthetic value of the lake, park and surrounding residential area. 

268 First Avenue 

The condominium complex currently located at 268 First Avenue at Lyon 

Street was built in 1912 as the Ottawa Ladies College. Designed by Allen 

Keefer, this is an understated example of Edwardian classicism. The building 

has a residential quality that reflects its origin as a boarding school for girls. 

The federal government took over the building in 1942 and it was used as a 

residence for members of the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) for 

the duration. From 1946 until 1959, it was the first campus of Carleton College, 

now Carleton University. It was then purchased by the Ottawa Board of 

Education and used as administrative offices. In 1999, the main structure was 

converted into condominiums. 

The Powell House at 85 Glebe Avenue 

Now the Vietnamese Embassy, this building is probably the pre-eminent 

example of notcd architect W. E. Noffke's Spanish Colonial Reyival style still 

standing in Ottawa today. It was commissioned and built as a private home 

for W. F. Powell in 1913. In partnership with Miss Adelaide Clemow, Mr. 

Powell was one of the pioneer land developers of the Glebe. 

The Horticulture Building at Lansdowne Park 

This building was built in 1914 as one of the rare public commissions of 

architect Francis C. Sullivan. The juxtaposition of clearly defined cubic 

masses and the use of a flat roof with cantilevered eaves show the strong 

influence of Frank Lloyd Wright's early work on Sullivan. In 1991, city 

council voted to remove the heritage designation to accommodate a convention 

centre proposal, but the building was re-designated a heritage structure 

in 1994. 

The Glebe Conununity Centre, 175 Third Avenue & Lyon Street 

This massive Palladian Revival-style building was constructed between 

1914 and 1924 as St. Paul's Methodist Church under the direction of Ottawa 

architect J. Burritt. In 1925, the congregation entered the union of the United 

Church of Canada and the building took on the name of St. James United 

Church. The monumental copper dome of the rotunda is a prominent 

Glebe landmark. The original grand entrance portico facing north displays 

Tuscan stone columns and pediment. In 1973, the City of Ottawa acquired 

the building as a community centre. In 2004, it was completely renovated 

with a south-facing entrance to better accommodate a wide range of coin-. 

munity users.

2006 Folkfest launched 

ROil Sexsmith 

BY CAROL SILCOFF 

The 2006 Ottawa Folk Festival 

will be held at Britannia Park, Aug. 

18-20. The theme of this year's festival 

is "music on a human scale." 

This relates to the fact that the festival 

is held in scenic, accessible and 

comfortable surroundings, offers 

programming that is environmentally 

and family friendly, as well as interactive, 

and presents a range of 

acoustic music diverse enough to 

suit many different tastes. This year, 

the festival is providing an "audiophile 

comfort zone" for those will- 

ing to pay a higher price ($100) for a 

comfortable, reserved seat in a quiet, 

covered area close to the mainstage. 

The festival also strives to create an 

atmosphere of civility and "peaceful 

co-existence" among various segments 

of the audience, including 

youth. 

For the first time,' the festival will 

hold a youth-oriented concert downtown 

(on Thurs., Aug. 17) at the New 

Capital Music Hall, featuring a dynamite 

quadruple bill with the 

Sadies (country rock, psychedelia, 

surf, punk and bluegrass), Ridley 

Bent (alt-country "hick hop" rap 

master), the Agnostic Mountain 

Gospel Choir (percussive Delta and 

Appalachian music) and the Stars' 

Amy Millan (lush pop and roots music) 

who is touring her first-ever solo 

CD. Each of these acts will also perform 

in workshops or mini-concerts 

at Britannia Park during the festival 

weekend. 

Also on Thursday evening, the 

previously announced celebration of 

the 25th anniversary of Rasputin's 

Folk Café will be held at the Library 

and Archives Canada Auditorium. 

Erick Manana, one of Madagascar's 

musical giants, will open the show 

for singer-songwriters Lynn Miles, 

Ian Tamblyn and Bill Bourne. 

A rootsy mix of singer-songwriters, 

high-energy acoustic bands and 

world music will be presented on the 

mainstage at Britannia Park. Friday 

night's headliner will be alt-country 

artist Steve Earle, who paints a compelling 

contemporary landscape with 

MUS! 

his mix of deeply personal and intensely 

political views. 

The Saturday evening concert 

will include Ron Sexsmith (one of 

Canada's most widely respected 

singer/songwriters), Ferron (who 

continues to blaze a trail for feminist 

folk artists), Balfa Toujours (a 

Louisiana band that is making a 

name for itself both on the Cajun 

circuit and in the larger realm of traditional 

music) and the Robert 

Michaels Band (Michaels is arguably 

Canada's most accomplished 

Latin jazz guitarist). 

The Sunday evening concert will 

feature Iris DeMent, one of the most 

celebrated country-folk performers 

in America today. DeMent's collaboration 

with folk-country legend 

John Prine, In S'pite of Ourselves, 

earned her a Grammy nomination. 

Consummate country-folk artist 

Greg Brown, described by Rolling 

Stone as "a wickedly sharp observer 

of the human condition," will also 

perform on Sunday evening. Also on 

the bill is American pop diva Dar 

Williams, who writes songs (exploring 

such issues as religion, politics 

and the environment) recognized for 

their depth and authenticity. 

Other artists on the mainstage 

during the weekend include the 

Montreal-based blues/folk/jazz duo 

of Dawn Tyler Watson and Paul 

Deslauriers, fiddler Erynn Marshall 

and clawhammer king Chris Coole, 

world-class ukulele sensation James 

Hill, the highly energetic Québécois 

band Mauvais Sort, and the intoxicating 

Cuban band Valle Son. 

Daytime performers (on Saturday 

and Sunday) and workshops are too 

numerous to mention, but Glebe Report 

readers might want to check out 

the morning raga performed on Saturday 

by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, one 

of India's leading cultural ambassadors, 

the gospel concert and brunch 

(available for a modest fee) on Sunday 

morning, a Phil Ochs tribute 

workshop hosted by Sonny Ochs 

(sister of the late "protest" singersongwriter), 

klezmer musical and 

dance performances, and various 

workshops with the intriguing 

theme of "East meets West." 

Once again, Gray Line will operate 

a free shuttle bus between the 

Glebe and Britannia Park; Arbour 

Environmental Shoppe will organize 

a series of seminars and interactive 

sessions at the EnviroTent; and Loeb 

Glebe, the Ottawa Folklore Centre 

and Crosstown Traffic will be major 

sponsors. 

More info about the festival can 

be obtained at www.otta,wafolk.org. 

Festival passes can be purchased online 

at www.capitaltickets.ca or locally 

at the folk office (by calling

MUSIC 

Ottawa Symphony Orchestra: 

music that moves you! 

OTTAWA 

SYMPHONY 

ORCHESTRA 

L'ORCHESTRE 

SYMPHONIQUE 

D'OTTAWA 

BY BRYAN CROFT 

The Ottawa Symphony Orchestra 

(OSO) announces its 41st season 

with the theme Music That Moves 

You. As music director David Currie 

notes: "I often get requests from local 

music-lovers to perform their 

favourite works. This season, I'm 

delighted to include many of those 

suggestions in our program." The result 

is a series of concerts made up 

of some of the most popular and best 

loved music of all time. 

On Oct. 3, the OSO will greet its 

new fall season with music from the 

New World. Aaron Copland uses 

American folk tunes to evoke rural 

Pennsylvania in Appalachian 

Spring. ln Putnam's Camp, Charles 

Ives reflects the amazement and 

amusement of a small boy as he daydreams 

of two marching bands, each 

trying to outplay the other. And 

Dvorâk's awe at the beauties of 

America bursts forth in his New 

World Symphony. 

The tone changes on Nov. 13, 

when the orchestra plays music of 

farewell. Richard Strauss' Four Last 

Songs is the hauntingly beautiful 

creation of an artist in the autumn of 

his life. Brahms chooses moving 

passages from the Bible to make A 

German Requiem one of the most 

poignant of all requiems and one of 

the most beloved pieces of choral 

music of the 19th century. Presented 

in partnership with the Ottawa 

Choral Society, soprano Monica 

Whicher and baritone Peter 

McGillivray join the OSO for this 

concert. 

The concert on Jan. 29, 2007, will 

be full of French and Canadian favourites. 

Pierre Mercure's Kaléidoscope 

conjures up a palette of 

swirling colours. Then follows the 

world premiere of a new viola concerto 

by Ottawa's internationally acclaimed 

Steven Gellman, with soloist 

Jethro Marks. And no music can 

excite an audience like Camille 

Saint-Saëns' Organ Symphony, making 

full use of the monumental power 

of the organ to create a truly majestic 

celebration of sound. 

Unmistakably Russian masterpieces 

make up the program on 

March 5, 2007. Tchaikovsky's 

Romeo and Juliet captures the passion 

of this immortal love story. In 

The Firebird, Stravinsky began to 

create the radical new style that 

made him the most important composer 

of the 20th century. At once 

gentle and swaggering, sprightly and 

wistful, Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet 

stands as perhaps the greatest ballet 

score ever written. 

The OSO closes its season with 

music from the heart on May 7, 

2007. Mahler struggles with fate in 

his great Symphony No. 6, his most 

personal creation. Mahler describes 

himself and his own downfall, a hero 

crushed by his tragic destiny, in this 

heart-rending masterpiece. 

The OSO's past extends back to 

Glebe Collegiate where in 1966 the 

newly formed Ottawa Civic Symphony 

(as it was called until 1976) 

performed its first rehearsal. All concerts 

are now held at the NAC and 

the orchestra's make-up includes 

many talented musicians from the 

Glebe. The Ottawa Symphony Orchestra 

invites music-lovers everywhere 

to join us this year and enjoy 

these musical masterpieces. These 

are the works that you've requested. 

Corne and share them with us! 

The National Capital Region's 

largest orchestra, the OSO presents 

five concerts each year at the National 

Arts Centre, under music director 

and conductor David Currie. Tickets 

are available from the NAC Box Office 

and Ticketmaster outlets. Prices 

range from $22 to $65 for regular 

tickets, from $20 to $59 for seniors, 

and from $11 to $32.50 for students. 

Chapel Choir of Corpus Christi College, 

Oxford University, England, 

at St. Matthew's Anglican Church 

Fri., June 30, 7:30 p.m 

presenting sacred and light-hearted 

choral works with organ music 

St. Matthew's Anglican Church in the Glebe will play host to the Chapel 

Choir of Corpus Christi College, Oxford University. on Fri., June 30. 

Founded in 1517, the college has a strong choral tradition and supports 

about 200 students studying a wide variety of subjects. The choir sings a 

weekly service of choral evensong or sung eucharist in the college chapel, 

where they perform a variety of sacred works in the English choral tradition, 

ranging from Handel and Byrd through to more modern composers such as 

Stafford and Laurisden. In 2005, the choir released its most recent CD, Pie 

Pelicane, which met with critical acclaim from Fanfare magazine and was 

deemed to be deserving of a "place in any music-lover's collection" by the 

Oxford Times. Tickets: $15/10 available from the church office: call 234- 

4024, e-mail: simonsc@bellnet.ca. Also available at the door at 217 First Avenue/130 

Glebe Avenue.

does it again! 

B Y ODILE WASLANDER 

The Swampwater Jazz Band has done it again. They played from 8:30 am. 

to noon at 372 Third Avenue during the Great Glebe Garage Sale, raising 

$1,368 for The Ottawa Food Bank, thanks to the generous support of the 

community and visitors. 

People looked all over to find where this jazz band was playing and were 

so pleased to have found them for their last set. They will be back next year. 

Others worked hard as well. Three girls from across the streetErin, Kate 

and Rachel Birniewere selling their toys for the whole morning. When the 

band stopped playing, they donated all their earnings to The Ottawa Food 

Banka total of $114.83. They started this tradition last year because they 

wanted to help out.

26 Glebe Report June 16, 2006 ART 

Patterson Creek Park 

Glebe photographer at Mill Street Gallery in Almonte 

This summer is a busy time for 

Glebe photographer Mark Schacter. 

A three-week exhibition of his photos 

opened earlier this month at the 

Mill Street Gallery in the historic 

wool-milling town of Almonte, west 

of Ottawa. The exhibition runs 

through June 25. The aallery, at 79 

Mill Street, is open from 10:30 a.m. 

to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday to Friday, and 

from noon to 5 p.m. on weekends. 

Later in the summer his exhibition, 

entitled Light and Truth, moves to 

the Glebe Community Centre, where 

it will hang for the month of September. 

Mark's photos are an eclectic mix 

of urban scenes, landscapes and architectural 

images, with a few stylized 

images of hi.s family's two cats 

thrown in for good measure. What 

ties all the pieces together is M.ark's 

fascination with shape and form, 

light and shadow. 

Mark's "real job," as he puts it, is 

policy and strategy consulting, main- 

Photo. Mark SchacMr 

ly for federal government clients. He 

runs his consulting business out of 

his home. But photography has long 

been a passion, and he began to pursue 

it with greater intensity in 2004 

when he purchased a digital camera. 

"Digital gives me a degree of creative 

control over images that wasn't 

available before," he said. "I don't 

have traditional darkroom skills, but 

it's amazing what you can do with a 

digital darkroom." Anyone who 

knows the Glebe will recoanize it in 

Mark's work: "This is a great neighbourhood 

for a photographer." 

Patterson Creek, just steps from 

his home, is one of his favourite locations. 

His portfolio includes dramatic 

images of the small bridges at 

either end of the creek, including 

one that captures golden, late-afternoon 

sunlight reflected on the inside 

wall of the O'Connor Street 

bridge. 

"I was in the right place at the 

right time, camera in hand," he said. 

Another imageone that captures 

the essence of the canal in winter 

shows skaters gliding beneath the 

arch under the Queen Elizabeth Driveway, 

their long shadows stretched 

out ahead of them. "I was out on the 

ice for a couple of hours until I had a 

shot I liked. My fingers aot pretty 

cold," he said. But that didn't prepare 

him for the full day he and his 

wife, Shereen Miller, spent on Patterson 

Creek in February, displaying 

his work at Art on Ice. "We froze! 

But the reaction to my work was 

very positive, and it was a great 

event for me and all the other artists 

who exhibited," he said. 

Mark recently spent several days 

on Cape Breton Island taking photographs 

for Cape Breton Clay, a maker 

of fine potte,ry that will sell his images 

over the summer as a complement 

to its own product line. 

Mark ventures farther afield as 

well. Some of his favourite images 

corne from, among other places, 

eastern Ontario, Quebec, the Northwest 

Territories, New York City, 

Washington State, Crete and Israel. 

A virtual gallery of Mark's work can 

be found at wwl,v.luxetveritas.ca.

Blink Gallery robbed! 

BY KATHRIN VON DEHN 

It was to be the second year of Blink Gallery at Header House in Major's 

Hill Park, Ottawa. The Blink Collective, a group of 14 local visual artists, had 

their opening on May 28. By the morning of May 29, all the work had disappeared, 

gone without a clue as to motivation or signs of entry. The Ottawa Police 

detective in charge of the case has never seen anything like it. 

As one of the members of Blink, and a new one at that, for me it was an extremely 

shocking incident. I had joined the collective recently and was looking 

forward to being part of a group of emerging professional artists. Our 

mandate is to show edgy, interesting and unusual works and to hold workshops 

to educate 

the public on our 

chosen craft. I 

was asked to be 

the resident jew- 

eller and had over 

50 pieces in my collectionall, 

of course, now 

missing. 

I have been a 

Glebite for the 

past four years 

and have been 

designing and producing jew- 

ellery and paint- 

ings for the past 

15 years. I stud- ied in Toronto at 

George Brown College for three 

years in the Jew- 

ellery Arts program 

and was a 

three-year resident 

at Toronto's 

anartist's 

Harbourfront studio. 

Since mov- 

ing to Ottawa and 

prior to joining 

Blink, I missed 

belonging to communi- 

Kathrin Von Dehn 

ty. Although most of us work 

independently, we all benefit from being part of an association of other artists. 

Each member's knowledge and experience, the ideas and perspectives, the 

critiques of our work, all help us progress and grow as artists. 

We have certainly come together as a group during the last week as a result 

of this theft, and I have seen the positive and creative energy explode. This incident 

has made us feel violated, but it will make us stronger. The whole artist 

community, not only in Ottawa, but across the country, has sent out their support 

as well. The owner of Cube Gallery, Don Monet, immediately planned, 

then hosted a benefit for us on Sun., June 11. 

We would appreciate it if you would take the time to check out our website 

at www.blinkgallery.ca. On it, you will find updates and some of the images 

of the stolen work. Please call your local police department if you see any of 

the stolen work anywhere. Blink Gallery continues to be committed to the Ottawa 

arts community.

May 28 to June 25 

In her exhibit entitled Eleven Pieces Old & New at the Glebe COmmunity 

Centre, Tanis Dennis shows the transition of her drawings and paintings over 

the years. After studying fine arts at college and university, art took a back 

seat for a number of years as Tanis worked on her career as a librarian and 

then as a stay-at-home mom. Her passion for making art would occasionally 

resurface as she completed a drawing or painting for her children. That passion 

was fully reignited when Tanis was asked to submit a painting for a collage 

celebrating Alberta's 100th anniversary. Since then, Tanis has spent more 

time focusing on painting and creating art. As well as trying to make time for 

her own art work. Tanis teaches art classes at Lady Evelyn School and Arts 

Under One Roof at Glebe-St. James United Church. 

Art is exhibited in the Meeting Room located on the main floor 

of the Glebe Community Centre.

Glebe Co-operative Nursery School 

gives thanks 

BY GILLIAN MANN 

It is hard to believe it is June with 

the end of the school year fast approaching. 

This year has been a busy 

and fun one at the Glebe Co-operative 

Nursery School (GCNS). We've 

enjoyed it all: the art activities, the 

music, the special guests, the class 

trips and the theme parties in the 

community centre. We want to thank 

our terrific teachers, Vicky Hadd, 

Cindy LeBreton and Sharon Green, 

for all of their hard work and enthusiasm, 

and the care and dedication 

they devote to our children's development. 

We look forward to working 

with you again next year. 

We also want to thank everyone 

who participated in our annual 

Mother's Day Plant Sale. Despite 

the poor weather, the event went 

very well and many community 

members came out to buy perennials, 

annuals, bake sale items and 

other goodies. Your support is greatly 

appreciated. We also want to acknowledge 

those companies and in- 

dividuals who donated their time 

and/or items for our raffle, including 

the Sassy Bead Company, Roy Mac- 

Gregor, Bloomfield's Flowers, Tangles 

Hair Salon, Starbucks, Tamarack 

Homes and The Papery. Special 

thanks also go to those board and 

volunteer members of GCNS who 

organized the plant and food sales, 

the bake sale, the raffle and the special 

events of the day. The Ottawa 

Police booth was a big hit, as were 

the face painting and craft tables. 

Everyone loved Oftbeat's performancethis 

stomp-based rhythm 

group from Glebe Collegiate was a 

huge hit with people of all ages, and 

we look forward to having them 

back again next year. 

Finally, many thanks to all those 

who have made the 2005-06 school 

year such a success. Included in this 

group are duty parents, special-event 

volunteers, returning and retiring 

board members, classroom guests 

and numerous others. We couldn't 

have clone it without you. 

The joy of learning is not written in textbooks, 

it's written on the faces of our children. 

You will find that 

the Montessori 

classroom is a 

place where the 

joy of learning 

comes naturally.

LEADERSHIP AT 

CAPITAL WARD 

SCHOOLS 

Another school year is drawing to 

a close and 1 want to thank everyone 

who is making a contribution to our 

public school system. As I work 

closely with principals and school 

council chairs, I would like to mention 

this group in particular: 

At Hopewell, principal Ken Blogg 

is retiring after two years in that position 

and many previous years in 

teaching and administrative assignments 

with the Ottawa Board of Education 

and the OCDSB. Sincere 

thanks to Ken for a lifetime commitment 

to education, and to Hopewell 

school council chair Diane Hiscox. 

Barbara Johnston-Iafelice, who is an 

experienced principal with the 

OCDSB, will be Hopewell's new 

principal. Welcome, Barbara. 

*At Glebe Collegiate, principal Walter 

Piovesan will be leaving after 

one year at GC1 to become a superintendent 

of instructi6n with the 

OCDSB. Congratulations and 

thanks to Walter and to GCI school 

council chair Gerry Ohlsen. Pat Kulka, 

vice-principal at GCI since 

2002, will be the new principal. 

Congratulations to Pat, the first female 

principal in Glebe's long history! 

*At First Avenue School, principal 

Julie Morris is continuing in her 

present capacity. A big thank-you to 

her and to school council chair Sean 

Maddox. 

*At Lady Evelyn, principal Lori 

Lovett is also continuing as principal. 

Sincere thanks to her and to 

school council co-chairs Dominic 

Fontaine and Teresa LeGrand. 

*At Mutchmor, principal Lynn Watson-Senecal 

will also be back in the 

fall. Appreciation to her and to 

school council chair Megan Wallace.

EDUCATION FUNDING 

As I mentioned in last month's 

column, the provincial government 

released its third budget on Mar. 23. 

However, that announcement provided 

only the budget framework. 

School boards are still awaiting grant 

details in order to set their budgets 

for the 2006-07 school year. The delay 

is to some extent understandable, 

due to the April 5 appointment of the 

new Minister of Education, Sandra 

Pupatello. However, the late announcement 

of grants negates proper 

public consultation and leaves 

school boards scrambling to have 

everything in place for September. 

NEW ONTARIO 

LEGISLATION:THE 

PASSAGE OF BILL 78 

On June 1, the Ontario legislature 

passed Bill 78, the Student Performance 

Bill. It includes several 

amendments to the Education Act 

and the Ontario College of Teachers' 

Act, including: 

*authority to school boards to provide 

instruction by electronic means 

to students not in the classroom; 

*replacement of the Ontario College 

of Teachers Qualifying Test (OTQT) 

with effective mentoring programs 

for beginning teachers; 

ability to increase the number of 

professional activity days for teacher 

training; 

*additional resources, including an 

honorarium, for student trustees; 

*increase in trustee remuneration 

(currently the range is between 

$5,000 and $10,000 per annum for 

trustees across the province). 

1 have two general concerns with 

this legislation. First, several articles 

reflect an ongoing provincial trend to 

transfer authority from local school 

boards to the provincial government. 

Second, the Bill assigns extensive 

regulatory authority to the government 

on a wide range of issues (class 

size, for example). While regulations 

allow for flexibility and regular updating, 

they are not subject to debate 

or approval in the legislature. Let's 

hope the provision for consultation 

with stakeholders is meaningful! For 

more information, go to www.edu.

Glebe Montessori School's spring French theatrical production of Saint- 

Exupéry 's Le Petit Prince. 

Glebe Montessori School 

thanks the Glebe community 

BY YVONNE THIJSEN 

In celebration of our lOth anniversary, 

Glebe Montessori School 

(GMS) launched a campaign in collaboration 

with Free the Children to 

raise $10,000 to build a school in 

the Maasai Mara region of Kenya. 

We are delighted to announce that, 

with the support of our students, 

parents, staff and the community, 

we have surpassed our goal of 

$10,000. GTV1S thanks everyone, including 

Glebe businesses, for their 

generous contributions and for their 

participation in our many fundraising 

events. 

Promotion of the arts went handin-hand 

with our fundraising objectives. 

GMS sponsored an Opera 

Gala for the community in February, 

hosted by Lawrence Wall and featuring 

Free the Children's founder 

Craig Kielburger who gave an opening 

address. The talented artists 

Alexander Savtchenko, Susan Blyth- 

Schofield, George Valettas, Laura 

Dziubaniuk and Renée Villemaire 

gave outstanding performances. A 

Cello for Chelsea was the second 

arts fundraiser, starring Margaret 

Munro Tobolowska, cellist with the 

NAC Orchestra. The in-fists presented 

special workshops for our students 

prior to the concerts. The final 

musical event at Zaphod Beeblebrox, 

kindly sponsored by Eugene 

Haslam, raised $1,800 for our campaign. 

The GMS focus on the arts as a 

major venue for fundraising is consistent 

with our belief in the overall 

importance of art in education. Combining 

our extensive arts curriculum 

and cultural studies program with 

our Build a School in Kenya campaign 

provided students with the opportunity 

to enjoy the benefits of an 

integrated curriculum, the cornerstone 

of the Montessori philosophy. 

The GMS commitment to the arts 

and its ability to unite people for a 

common cause have brought much 

pleasure. to our students and staff. 

Again, we thank everyone for joining 

our efforts on behalf of Free the 

Children. 

In a pickle, outer space and hearing 

from Justice Gomery 

BY LYNN MAINLAND 

Samuel Taylor Coleridge said that 

poetry is putting "the best words in 

the best order," and eight students 

from First Avenue Public School 

proved that they can do just that. 

They all had winning entries in this 

year's Poetry Institute of Canada 

competition, and have had their poems 

published in The Pickle Tree, a 

copy of which can be found in the 

school library. We hope that the poets, 

shown in the photo below, continue 

to follow their muse! 

Also on the arts front, the school 

held its annual Vernissage Art Show 

on June 8, with all proceeds going to 

the Kagoua School in Moribila, 

Mali. Every student from Grade 1 to 

Grade 6 had at least one artwork on 

display, and families provided 

snacks so that kids visiting the temporary 

gallery could munch and 

marvel. 

We all know that engineers can 

raise bridges and buildings, but super-volunteer 

Gordon Griffith has 

been proving that they know how to 

raise new talent too. As First Avenue's 

Engineer in Residence (EIR), 

Gordon has been showirw students 

how science and technology can get 

out of the classroom and into the 

real world. The EIR program is 

spearheaded by Professional Engineers 

Ontario in partnership with 

government and the private sector, 

and the school is very pleased to be 

benefiting from it. 

Grade 6 students and their parents 

will also be able to benefit from the 

wisdom and advice of Justice 

Gomery, the guest speaker at their 

graduation ceremony on June 26, 

1:30 p.m., in the gym. Budding 

politicians, take heed! 

Once again, these students have also 

boldly gone where generations of 

First Avenue final-year students have 

aone beforethe Laval Cosmodome! 

The kids explored the solar 

system and saw a real moon rock. 

Many thanks to organizer Suzanne 

McCarthy, teacher contacts Stephanie 

Borrens and Sandra DeVries, and trip 

chaperones Brad, Laurice, Allison 

and Paul, for a mission acComplished! 

Planning for next year's voyage 

is already under way in the capable 

hands of Sue Sidebottom. 

The end of the school year means 

that it is time to say goodbye, not just 

to the Grade 6 students, but also to 

staff who have given so much to the 

First Avenue community. Several 

staff are going on leave, but two are 

going on to new challenges. Paul 

Gravelle, whose smile and encouragement 

have been behind so many 

sporting successes and who has tirelessly 

supported teachers' and students' 

learning for the last three 

years, is off to work his magic in another 

school. Claire Martin, who has 

meant so much to Grade 2 students, 

also for the last three years, has accepted 

a teaching position closer to 

her home. Congratulations to Claire 

and Paul, and to our new graduates,

Mutchmor schoolyard transformation: how can you help? 

BY 

LEONORE 

EVANS 

This summer 

you will 

see some 

changes happening 

in 

Mutchmor's 

junior yard. 

The Mutchmor 

yard 

transformation 

team has 

put together a 

plan to bring 

a little magic 

into our western 

yard. The 

larger plan is 

to tackle one 

yard at a time, 

next the primary, 

and the 

year after the 

field. Some 

ideas for the 

field include 

seating, maybe éven a gazebo. Yard 

transformation will be an ongoing 

process, which will require support 

from parents and the community. 

The goal this summer is to bring a 

little life, colour and magic into the 

junior yard. As it presents itself now, 

the junior yard does not have much 

to offer. There is no seating, so students 

usually sit on the ground. Although 

the trees along the fence are 

growing up well, there is very little 

shade for most of the yard area. The 

ILLUSTRATON BY 10ANA TEODORBSCU 

nook in the northeast corner has 

been cordoned off due to temporary 

stone storage. The new dumpster enclosure 

cuts into a four square 

(painted on the pavement), and cuts 

off the area where a large, empty 

planter stands. The fence surrounding 

the (temporary) parking lot cuts 

into the painted soccer field. There 

is only asphalt and hardly any 

colour. Under these circumstances, 

it should not be too difficult to bring 

about some change! 

Phase one of our junior yard plan 

is to build three cob benches along 

the south fence and east school 

wall. We will paint several murals 

on the gym doors and on the storage 

shed in the nook. Bright targets, 

painted on good-quality plywood, 

will be attached to the gym wall. A 

second tetherball will be installed. 

The asphalt area behind the dumpster 

will be taken up and a tree will 

be planted, with a bench around it to 

help protect it. The southern fence 

will be decorated by a colourful 

wave of student-made sun-catchers. 

We hope to have accomplished all 

of this by the fall. Phase two of our 

plan includes installing several 

chess tables along the western fence 

and a small art gallery in the same 

area. 

Mutchmor students reduce, 

reuse and recycle 

BY SAVANNAH, GILLIAN 

AND ANIQUE, GRADE 3/4 

In the past few months, the 

Mutchmor environment club has 

been participating in a number of 

different activities. One of the most 

important things we have been doing 

is planting seeds for the Mutchmor 

garden. We have planted snapdragons, 

poppies and many other 

beautifitl flowers. If you are ever 

walking past Mutchmor, take a look 

at the garden. It is so beautiful! 

Another activity the environment 

club has been involved in is picking 

up litter in and around the school. 

We actually found about 10 discarded 

water bottles. You can make 

many different things out of empty 

water bottles. You could make a piggy 

bank or, if you have More than 

one, you could fill them with something 

heavy, like sand, and use them 

as bowling pins. Better yet you 

could reuse them. 

Just think how beautiful the city 

would be if everybody picked up 10 

pieces of garbage. The next time you 

go to the store to buy something, 

don't just throw the wrapper on the 

groundlook for a garbage bin. 

They are everywhere. Used wrappers 

can even be cut into pieces and 

glued onto a piece of recycled paper 

to make a collage. 

An of this has already required a 

tremendous amount of energy. We 

know there are many skilled people 

and parents in the community who 

are eager to help. If you want to 

help, you will be greatly welcomed 

by the Mutchmor yard transformation 

team. Some of the skills we are 

looking for include carpentry, stonework, 

painting, planting, fundraising, 

natural building, sewing, ceramic 

work, organic growing and, 

most importantly, a willingness to 

help, whether or not you have the 

skills listed above. Several work 

days will be held this summer when 

students, parents and the community 

will be invited to participate. If you 

want to receive updates, e-mail 

loveleo@zworg.com or call Leo at 

237-6074. 

A few more recycling tips: 

Next time you have a peel from a 

banana, try to compost it. 

*Next time you are at the grocery 

store, try not to buy fruit in one of 

those little plastic cups that aren't 

very environmentally- friendly: Instead, 

you could cut up your own 

fruit and put it in a reusable container 

for lunch. - 

Another activity of the environment 

club was making recycled paper. 

How did we do this? We soaked 

paper in a glass cooking pan for half 

an hour. Then we got a blender, 

blended the mushy paper and put the 

mushy paper back into the glass pan. 

Next you need a screen with wooden 

walls and another bucket of water. 

Put the screen into the bucket of water 

and spread the mushy paper 

around on the screen. Then take out 

the screen with mushy paper in it and 

wring out the water by pushing down 

on the paper. Take the screen to a 

table covered with a cloth and flip it 

over so the paper comes out. Fold the 

other half of the cloth over the paper. 

Iron the cloth with the paper underneath. 

In a few days, you will have 

your own paper! Rememberreduce, 

reuse and recycle! 

Special thanks to Mrs. Rainer, the 

teacher who co-oidinates the Mutchmor 

environment club, and to Lynn 

Wohlfarth, the parent volunteer coordinating 

our garden project. 

Everything from 

fair traded recycled 

tire buckets and coffee, 

to certified organic plants, 

homeopathic remedies 

for sore muscles and

Students, parents and staff recently installed the aquatic life mural created by Grade 6A students at Corpus Christi School. 

Corpus Christi has a new mascot!

ARTS AT CORPUS CHRISTI 

Corpus Christi students enjoyed 

several concerts by blues musicians 

at the end of April as part of the 

Blues in the School program. The 

week of wonderful music ended 

with a performance by the kindergarten 

classes. They will also perform 

at Bluesfest on July 16. Thanks 

to Mrs. Wong and Madame Bergeron 

for their work with the HUSK 

classes. 

Students have been hipping and 

hopping with local dance teacher 

Kailena Van de Nes. Students will 

present a routine at the Glebe Community 

Centre on June 14. 6-7:30 

p.m. as part of the GNAG Dance 

Studio Showcase. 

Art at Lunch wrapped up in May. 

Over the school year, 120 children 

enjoyed a different art project every 

month. Megan Richardson and her 

army of volunteers worked tirelessly 

on this project and plans are well under 

way for next year's edition. 

Students from Grade 6A unveiled 

a large-scale aquatic life mural they 

have worked on over the past year. 

The mural includes 30 studies of various 

species that students researched 

in the Science unit: "Diversity of 

Life." Painted in acrylic on canvas, 

the mural is permanently installed on 

the third floor across from the library. 

SPORTS 

Try-outs were held for the Corpus 

Christi track and field team. On June 

8, 22 students participated in the 

eastern division track meet at the 

Terry Fox Athletic Facility. Thanks 

to Ms. Murphy, Madame Susie and 

Mrs. Muto-Pomakis for coaching 

the team. 

OTHER NEWS 

On May 24, a retirement party 

was held for our former principal, 

Bonnie McLaurin. Parents, colleagues 

and friends joined together 

at Blessed Sacrament Church to fête 

Bonnie on her retirement. 

Grade 5 students participated in 

the 13th annual Catholic School 

Board Peace Festival, which encourages 

and highlights conflict resolution

Grade 6 students recorded a CD at 

Maya's School of Music and performed 

on Parliament Hill for the 

launch of H-U-G, Helping for a

promotes Peace through Education. 

On a sad note, Corpus Christi has 

said farewell to the play structure in 

the schoolyard. Deemed unsafe by 

the school board, it has been dismantled. 

But every cloud has a silver 

lining, and this change in the 

yard gives parents, staff and students 

an opportunity to look at our space 

and improve the play area for our

It wasn't your ordinary potluck! With foods from places as diverse as Vietnam, 

Eritrea and Russia, the Glashan family potluck was a feast of flavours 

from all over the world. A fashion show was similarly wide-ramling, featuring 

quite the array of attirefrom traditional clothing from Korea to designer 

looks from Italy. Inuit throat-singing, Scottish jigs, Indian dance and 

"Canadian" guitar were included in the evening's entertainment. The multicultural 

evening was the culmination of a month-long Grade 8 study unit on 

global issues. It reminded everyone how connected we are to the rest of the 

worldand how lucky Glashan is to have such a global community in its 

midst.

lmmaculata students gain work experience 

BY THOMAS D'AMICO 

Co-operative education has been 

a study in building respect for our 

community partners, trained workers, 

labour groups, staff and students. 

The co-op education department 

at Immaculata is primed to 

meet the challenge of the Ministry 

of Education's new vision for secondary 

school co-operative education. 

Photos Jaime Stewart 

Immaculata student Enock Irus 

works at OC Transpo for his co-op 

education placement. 

While we continue to have scheduling 

problems for positions within 

the building trades, we were much 

more fortunate with the automotive 

and service trades. Asi a result, we 

placed 20 students in the Ontario 

Youth Apprenticeship Program 

(OYAP) in the second semester and 

12 students in the first semester. 

Much effort was extended to place 

our students in positions that would 

allow them to grow, while exploring 

opportunities in an environment that 

would mirror or complement their 

chosen educational path and future 

careers. To that end, we had students 

working in various public and private 

enterprises that reflect the diverse 

world of career choices for today's 

youth. From small stores to 

box stores, from intimate offices to 

bustling legal bureaucracies, our students 

toiled and learned, experienced 

and grew, contributed and developed. 

The willingness of our generous 

employers to participate in co-op education 

has allowed us to experience 

the wide world of work in the nation's 

capital. Without the co-operation 

of our many partners, we would 

have to resort to a very limited and 

restricted work environment. Our 

partners have been committed to our 

program and our students. They've 

welcomed the staff and assisted in 

safety inspections 'and training. 

They've made themselves available 

for interviews, evaluations, visits 

and mentoring sessions. They've 

worked alongside the staff to train 

and educate our young workers of 

tomorrow. 

It is this community-minded spirit 

of our partners that allows us to offer 

our students the wide and varied experience 

they seek. We are truly appreciative 

of their commitment and

Guide dogs need foster families 


BY STEVEN DOUCETTE 

Canadian Guide Dogs for the 

Blind requires foster families to provide 

a home for a guide dog puppy 

in training. These puppies must be 

welcomed as a member of the family, 

learning basic obedience and being 

introduced to a multitude of situations 

that will aid them in eventually 

becoming working guide dogs 

for the blind. Applicants must have a 

fenced relief area for the dog and access 

to a vehicle, plus someone must 

be home or with the puppy most of 

the day. 

The foster family is responsible 

for training the doa in obedience 

and socialization skills, working 

closely with a professional dog trainer 

from Canadian Guide Dogs for 

the Blind. For the volunteer, it's 

much like having your own puppy, 

but you must add specific commands 

and rules which are geared towards 

this puppy becoming a guide dog. 

It's a long-term commitment of 12- 

18 months, having the puppy accompany 

you almost everywhere you go, 

and adapting to the knowledae that 

the dog must be given back to enter 

into fonital training. A large part of 

the reward is to raise a puppy with a 

chance of graduating as a working 

guide dog, to provide an incredible 

gift to a visually impaired person, 

and to have the opportunity to meet 

the person the guide dog is matched 

with. 


Blind provides all food for the puppy 

and is responsible for all veterinary 

expenses. 

If you meet the basic criteria 

above, you may attend an upcoming 

Information Session about the program 

on Fri., June 23, at 2 p.m., at 

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind's 

National Training Centre, 4120 

Rideau Valley Drive North, Manotick. 

A reservation is required to attend 

an Information Session. To 

make a reservation or to receive further 

details, call 692-7777 or visit 

the website at www.guidedogs.ca. 


Blind has been providing professionally 

trained guide dogs to visually 

impaired Canadians since 1984. 

Glebe Collegiate 

fares well at regatta 

BY ELENA PAGLIARELLO 

Summer heat and sunshine have 

finally arrived, but the spring 2006 

high school rowing season started 

off on the wrong foot with the 

weather. Most of the early-morning 

practices during May had plenty of 

wind and rain to hamper the athletes' 

training. The first two regattas 

of the season were also affected by 

the 

soggy spring weather. The 

Brockville Secondary Schools Regatta 

was cancelled due to high 

winds, and almost every race at the 

Eastern Rowing Association's high 

school championships in Montreal 

took place under grey skies and allday 

rain. 

The last weekend of May 

brought a welcome changethe 

grey clouds parted and the sun was 

out all day at the Ottawa Rowing 

Club's high school regatta. Crews 

of teenagers from Lisgar Collegiate, 

Glebe Collegiate (GCI), 

Canterbury, Colonel By, Osgoode, 

Ashbury and Lycée Claudel were 

joined by athletes from the 

Kingston area representing Grenville 

Christian College, Kingston 

Collegiate Vocational Institute and 

Regiopolis-Notre Dame Catholic 

High School, for a day of racing on 

the Ottawa River. 

The racing course went downriver 

from the starting line behind the 

Museum of Civilization to the finish 

in front of the Ottawa clubhouse. 

Athletes competed according 

to age and experience in novice, 

junior and senior categories with a 

total of 16 different events. They 

raced in crews of four or eight rowers 

plus a coxswain who steered and 

kept the racers motivated. Some of 

the experienced senior athletes also 

had the chance to race in smaller, 

more difficult boats such as singles 

and pairs or sculling doubles or 

quads, which are rowed with two 

oars. 

Many Glebe athletes took part in 

the regatta and the Lisgar and GCI 

crews fared well in their races. Gd, 

with the largest crew, had many impressive 

finishes, including first and 

second in the novice women's four, 

senior men's four and senior men's 

pair. They also scored first place in 

both the men's and women's junior 

four races, senior men's eight and 

the mixed eight. In addition, they 

had seven second-place finishes. Lisgar 

CI had one 1-2 finish in the senior 

women's eight and another first 

place in the senior women's single. 

They also had five third-place boats. 

The schools also earned points for 

their placing in races. GCI finished 

first with 120 points and Lisgar came 

third with 55. Colonel By placed 

second vvith 58, Canterbury fourth 

with 53, Ashbury seventh with 19, 

Osgoode eighth with 17, and Lycée 

Claudel tied for tenth with four 

points. 

The last regatta of the season was 

the Canadian Secondary Schools 

Rowing Association's championships, 

held in St. Catharines, Ontario, 

the weekend of June 2-4. Ottawa 

was well represented, with athletes 

from GCI, Canterbury, Colonel 

By and Ashbury competing.

TED AND LOIS AT THE MOVIES Glebe Report June 16, 2006 37 

Thank You 

for Smoking 

BY-TED LANDIS 

Just when the war on smoking 

seems to be winding down (at least 

here in Ontario), we are presented 

with a hilarious satire which lets us 

relive all those arguments just one 

more time. Thank You for Smoking 

tells the story of a US tobacco industry 

lobbyist trying to stop a senator 

from passing a law that would require 

a skull and crossbones on cigarette 

packaging. It sounds pretty 

dreadful by that synopsis, but don't 

worry, the myriad of subplots will 

keep you thoroughly entertained. 

Aaron Eckhart plays Nick, the embattled 

spokesman who readily admits 

his job requires a certain "moral 

flexibility". Aaron is very convincing 

and there are times when you 

find yourself falling for Nick's slick 

delivery. Aaron played a similar 

character in the brilliant, albeit much 

darker film In the Company of Men. 

As Nick, he excels as the consummate 

pitchman, sincerely explaining 

to his son (played by Cameron 

Bright): "That's the beauty of argument; 

if you argue correctly, you're 

never wrong." 

The cast is rounded out with 

William H. Macy as the senator, Rob 

Lowe as a Hollywood mogul, Sam 

Elliott as the Marlboro Man and 

Katie Holmes as an investigative 

journalist. But the script is the star 

and the sharp dialogue is delivered at 

a quick pace. I found myself laugh- 

ing out loud more 

than once. The text 

leaves no ideological 

group unscathed; 

left, right 

and especially the 

comfortable middle. 

It's a movie for 

those of us who can 

laugh at ourselves as easily as we can 

at the more obvious popular targets. 

After the first 15 minutes you begin 

to realize that the film is not so 

much about smoking or lobbying, 

but rather a facetious exploration of 

influence and perception in the political 

and entertainment industries. In 

fact, through the entire film, not once 

is anyone seen actually smoking! 

And a clip from Sands of Iwo Jima, 

showing John Wayne just asking for 

a cigarette, ends disastrously. 

In his feature directorial debut, Jason 

Reitman adapted the screenplay 

from Christopher Buckley's 1994 

book. As the son of Canadian director 

Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters), Jason 

comes by his comic sensibilities 

honestly. Likewise, Christopher 

probably picked up some of his wit 

from his father, Firing Line's 

William F. Buckley. 

The movie is rated 14A for some 

minor sexual content. I recommend 

this movie to anyone who needs to 

escape from our all-too-real world 

for a few good laughs.

Watermarks: 

memories of survival 

BY LOIS 

SIEGEL 

Watermarks is 

an observation of 

the timesa history 

lesson focusing 

on a Jewish 

sports club. Hakoah 

Vienna, in 

existence when the Nazis came to 

power. Hakoah was founded in 1909 

in response to the Aryan Paragraph 

which forbade Austrian sports clubs 

from accepting Jewish athletes. Watermarks 

documents the story of 

what happened to a teatn of women 

championship swimmers who had to 

flee after the political unification of 

Nazi Germany and Austria in 1938. 

They were saved by escaping on an 

illegal ship organized by Hakoah administrators. 

Director Yaron Zilberman finds 

the women 65 years later and interviews 

them. all now in their eidaies, 

in their new homes. Watermarks 

is a story of memories and 

the struggle these women faced in a 

period of turmoil. We are introduced 

to Judith Haspel and Hanni 

Lux, sisters now living in Herzlia, 

Israel, who visit each other every 

day at 6 p.m. to drink Vermouth and 

read poetry. 

The film presents images of the 

1936 Berlin Olympics when the 

Nazi flag was flown and, we are 

told, signs were posted saying 

"Dogs and Jews Forbidden." Swimmer 

Judith, chosen best athlete that 

year in Austria, refused to participate 

in the Berlin Olympics. As a 

result, the Austrian Sports Federation 

banned her from competing 

and her sports records were removed 

from the official sports 

books in Austria. 

At the time of Hitler's 1938 

speech in Heldenplatz, Vienna's historical 

plaza, when he announced the 

Anschlussthe inclusion of Austria 

into the German Reichit was said 

that 98 per cent of Austrians were 

pro-Nazi, indicating the extent of 

mass hatred of Jews. After the annexation 

of Austria, the Hakoah club 

was shut down and the facilities confiscated. 

Ann Marie Pisker, who now lives 

in London, is an articulate and witty 

lady. She smiles, saying: "Some of 

my best friends were Nazis. I went to 

school with them. I would have preferred 

to stay in Austria, but you had 

to make changes." The changes included 

a new climate, new food and 

a different mentality in her new 

country. "You either sink or swim," 

she says. "When you're young, you 

swim." 

Anni Lampl, 85, is blind. She has 

once again become an Austrian citizen 

so that she can vote and prevent 

someone like Hitler from ever again 

coming to power. "I hope my vote 

counts," she says. 

At the end of the film, we see six 

of the former champions reunited, 

swimming in a large Vienna pool. 

Watermarks has won numerous 

audience awards at film festivals. 

Look for it at your local video store 

and at the Ottawa Public Library.

The circus is in town 

BY TED LANDIS 

In case you haven't noticed, the 

world-famous Cirque du Soleil is at 

Lansdowne Park through the end of 

June. We recently got a chance to see 

their currently running show, 

Quidam, and what a show it was! 

The air-conditioned big top is a far 

cry froni the dirt-floor circus tents of 

days gone by, and yet it still retains 

the thrills and magic of the live performance. 

The seats are arranged to give 

everyone an excellent view of all of 

the acts and, through the use of sophisticated 

overhead scaffolding, the 

performers practically fly right over 

your head. The show begins even as 

guests are being seated, with clowns 

wandering through the seats causing 

all kinds of mischief. It's all in good 

fun and sets the mood for the coming 

show. 

As the live band focuses our attention 

on centre stage, we are introduced 

to the main characters of the 

Quidam story. A young girl receives 

a hat, which takes her on an adventure 

through a magical land filled 

with new and wonderful sights. The 

action and music carry us from one 

scene to the next and there is always 

a full stage of performers entertaining 

in the background in addition to 

the main act. 

My favourite act was the Diabolos, 

which involved large wooden spools 

being thrown into the air and caught 

on a string connected to two sticks. It 

sounds funny trying to describe it, 

but it is incredible to see! There are 

two audience participation clown 

acts that were hilarious to watch. 

After more than 20 successful 

years, Cirque du Soleil has been able 

to attract top talent from around the 

worldand it shows. Whether to relive 

the magic of the circus from 

childhood or simply to experience 

something new and wonderful, just 

take a short walk over to the big top 

and see Quidam before it's too late.

From May 30 to June 2, Clemow Avenue at Percy saw filming for Trace 

Evidence, a Canadian movie being made for the CHUM network and Lifetime 

Television, starring Amanda Detmer and directed by Peter Svatek. Produced 

by David Patterson and Jesse Prupas and co-produced by Neil Bregman for 

Muse Entertainment and Sound Venture Productions (SVP), the film brought 

over 50 crew members and actors to the Clemow Avenue home of Neil Bregman 

and Katherine Jeans, award-winning filmmakers and owners of Sound 

Venture Productions. Huge trailers for makeup and wardrobe, dressing rooms, 

offices and equipment, even a mobile canteen, lined both sides of the street. 

In describing the experience, neighbours regretted most that they didn't 

have the chance to audition as extras!

Pushing uphill all the way

THE FORCE OF VOCATION: 

THE LITERARY CAREER 

OF ADELE WISEMAN 

By Ruth Panofsky 

University of Manitoba Press, 

$19.95 (paper), 2006 

get the same reception as The Sacrifice. 

Crackpot was a total departure, 

portraying the moral dilemma of Hoda, 

an obese Jewish prostitute faced 

with servicing lier own adult son, 

whom she had abandoned to a Jewish 

orphanage in Winnipeg because 

she could not afford to raise him. 

As early as 1961, Wiseman began 

writing lier second novel while she 

was "digressing" with other literary 

projects. Writing and revising Crackpot 

took 13 years; it was then rejected 

more than 20 times by publishers. 

In 1974, Margaret Laurence wrote a 

letter to Jack McClelland, praising 

Crackpot. The result was almost immediate 

publication. 

from 1963 to 1969 and ending with 

several writers residencies, the last 

from 1988 to 1991 at the University 

of Windsor. She also served as Head 

of the May writing studios at the 

Banff Centre for the Arts from 1987 

to 1991. 

A collection of Wiseman's essays, 

Memoirs of a Book Molesting 

Childhood (1987), was a project 

brouaht to fruition by Oxford editor 

Richard Teleky, who valued Wiseman 

as a Jewish-Canadian female 

post-war novelist. During her final 

illness, before she succumbed to 

complications from sarcoma at age 

64, Teleky visited often, nursing 

Wiseman with his homemade lentil 

soup. 

Panofsky's biography charts the 

course of Wiseman's writings, both 

published and unpublished, serving 

as a guide for those interested in her 

total oeuvre, which includes poetry, 

plays, essays, children's stories and 

book reviews deposited in various 

archives. 

Panofsky's winsome refrain is that 

Wiseman believed passionately in 

writing about what was most important 

to herforging straight ahead, 

oblivious to editors and publishers, 

almost all of whom were male, pushing 

uphill all the way. 

Totally immersed in writing as a 

mission, Adele Wiseman (1928- 

1992) audaciously pursued an iconoclastic 

course throughout her literary 

career spanning some 40 years. 

At the unlikely age of 28, Wiseman 

hit the literary jackpot with her first 

novel, published simultaneously in 

Canada, Britain and the U.S. to rave 

reviews citing her commitment to 

writing about the Jewish immigrant 

experience. The Sacrifice, whose 

narrative followed a traditional patriarchal 

model, won the 1956 Governor 

General's Award and, ironically, 

deceived Wiseman into believing 

that she had joined the ranks of the 

favoured male literary establishment. 

After the success of The Sacrifice, 

Wiseman's publishers expected a 

second novel of similar scope, but 

her bold response was: "I write as 

well as I am able and about what is 

important to me." Following her 

muse, she began work on :a fourhour 

play, The Lovebound, set in the 

late summer of 1939 aboard an ancient 

freighter crowded with Jews 

fleeing Europe who are refused entry 

in North and South America and 

are forced to return to the death 

camps of Germany. 

The Lovebound was researched 

and written in New York City where 

Wiseman lived from November 1957 

to January 1960. When her publishers 

turned down the play, she printed 

it privately. At the time, Wiseman's 

living expenses were subsidized 

by writing fellowships from 

the Canada Council and the 

Guggenheim Foundation. Referees 

for the Guggenheim were all male: 

Saul Bellow, David Daiches, Irving 

Howe and Meyer Levin. Wiseman, 

flying high on their recommendations, 

appeared oblivious to the reality 

of the sales market. 

Ruth Panofsky's thesis is that 

Wiseman's digression into playwriting 

was a huge mistake and that her 

second novel, Crackpot (1974), 

should have appeared much earlier. 

She also wrote children's stories between 

May 1962 and August 1963, 

two of which were published 

decades later: Kenji and the Cricket 

(1988), and Puccini and the Prowlers 

(1992). 

Cornparing the length of time it 

took for' Crackpot to get published 

with the length of time it actually 

took to write and revise it, I am not 

sure I agree with Panofsky. Maybe 

Wiseman unconsciously sensed that 

the novel she was writing would not

ARKIN 

Today's critics herald Crackpot as 

a masterpiece of contemporary literature 

with its central theme trashing 

prevailing stereotypes to reach its 

deeper truths. But when it was published, 

the subjects of incest and unconventional 

sexuality on which the 

novel touched were declared "subversive." 

Yet Crackpot continues to appeal 

to a growing readership who appreciate 

its daring execution and indomitable 

protagonist, froda. In 

1975, Marian Engel wrote of Crackpot: 

"Wiseman doesn't fit in any 

more than :Hoda does. She is prolix 

and life-loving, immensely strong... 

There's no one in the country to 

touch her unashamed femininity and 

Jewishness. It's a very odd combination 

and it's magical." 

Wiseman's third book, Old 

Woman at Play, was not a novel, but 

a classic in "life writing"a combination 

of fiction, memoir and biography--eelebrating 

her mother Chaika's 

craft of doll-making from scraps 

of household material. In the text, 

Wiseman also explores the creative 

impulse. "Her mother's dolls were 

made of a natural, playful impulse 

and designed not TO LAST in the 

tradition of high art, but to give immediate 

pleasure to the viewer or recipient." 

The closing chapters of Panofsky's 

biography address mentorship, 

Wiseman's contribution to the Canadian 

literary canon by encouraging 

other writers. The primary example 

is Margaret Laurence, a mutual mentorship 

lasting 40 years which is 

documented in their co-authored 

work, Selected Letters (1997), edited 

by John Lennox and Ruth Panofsky. 

Wiseman taught creative writing 

at a string of universities, beginning

THE LU BAV IT CHERS 

ARE COMING TO 

SECOND AVENUE: 

A HANUKKAH STORY 

By Sharon Abron Drache 

Illustrated by Jayne Lemon 

L'Dor Vador Publications, 

64 pages, $1.99 (paper) 

REVIEW BY HELENE MERRITT 

Davika Bernstein feels very different 

from all the other children on 

Second Avenue at Christmastime. 

She particularly feels she would like 

a Christmas tree, but her parents remind 

her they are Jewish and celebrate 

not Christmas but Hanukkah. 

Davika is fortunate to have Anglican 

friends, Nicole and Yvonne Racine, 

who invite her and her sister Rachel 

to decorate their Christmas tree. 

Though she is nine and doesn't believe 

in Santa Claus anymore, Davika 

still longs for something special 

to happen at this time of year. 

This year, Davika's wish will be 

granted. 

After she delivers fresh cinnamon 

buns to the Racines on Christmas 

Eve, Davika learns that the Lubavitchers 

are coming for a visit. The 

Lubavitchers, a sect of pious Jews, 

are represented by Moshe and 

Yankel. They summon the Besht, 

who tells the Bernsteins two stories 

about his birth and youth. The 

Besht, a man whose head is covered 

by a black skull cap and whose 

beard reaches down to his knees, describes 

himself as a man who brings 

light through his stories. 

The Bemsteins listen, enraptured, 

as the Besht tells them of his wondrous 

abilities. The Racines are invited 

over and they too can partake 

of the Besht's stories. 

After his story-telling, the Besht 

disappears, leaving the two families 

with the impression of having been 

visited by a miracle. The children 

especially feel their that wish for a 

special event has come true. 

Sharon Drache tells the Besht's 

story simply and directly. She 

speaks as someone who has inside 

knowledge and wants to share the 

importance of these stories. By 

weaving these stories with Davika's 

wish for something special at 

Hanukkah, Drache reminds us that, 

though different from Christmas, 

Hanukkah is an equally important 

occasion. Both families learn about 

the uniqueness of Hanukkah and 

are especially impressed with the 

play of light the Besht leaves behind. 

Like the Besht in her story, 

Sharon Drache spreads light in the 

world by telling stories. Her story 

underlines the importance of learning 

from one another and sharing 

traditions. 

For ages nine and up, this story, 

beautifully illustrated by Jayne 

Lemon, would work equally well 

read aloud.

Freelance reporter wins $1,000 

Earth Science Journalism award 

Oto: Pat McGrath, Ottawa Citizen 

Margret Brady 

The Geological Association of 

Canada (GAC) is pleased to announce 

that Margret Brady, freelance 

science reporter vriting for 

The Citizen's Weekly/The Ottawa 

Citizen, has been selected as the 

2006 recipient of the GAC's Yves 

Fortier Earth Science Jourrialism 

award and will receive the award's 

$1,000 prize. 

The Yves Fortier award is presented 

for excellence in journalistic 

treatment of earth science in the 

newspapers. It recognizes a journalist 

who has been exceptionally effective 

in presenting an earth science 

story in one of Canada's daily 

or weekly newspapers during the 

previous calendar year. The award is 

named after Yves O. Fortier, a 

founding member of the Geological 

Association of Canada and a former

2005) is a three-piece feature describing 

the overall significance of 

Arctic and Antarctic research in the 

understanding of our world, its 

weather and its future. The articles 

point out that the earth's magnetic 

field has reversed many times in the 

past and continues to change, as witnessed 

by the current migration of 

the north magnetic pole out of Canada. 

Magnetic field changes are expected 

to affect the planet and life 

upon it, but in ways not yet entirely 

clear. 

Margret Brady is a freelance science 

writer and member of the

Writers Association, to be held June 

24-26, in St John's, Newfoundland. 

The GAC is very pleased to re,Gognize 

Ms. Brady for her contribution 

to earth sciences by providing readers 

with an understanding of geological 

processes about which they 

wouldn't -ordinarily know a great 

deal. To read the article, visit the

St. Matthew's Anglican Church 

reconstruction update 

BY MARGRET BRADY 

NANKIVELL 

Surging commodity prices have 

accelerated the reconstruction of St. 

Matthew's Anglican Church in the 

Glebe. The second and third phases 

of the masonry reconstruction are 

being rolled into one year, rather 

than extended over two years as 

originally planned. The work began 

this month. 

The first phase of the exterior masonry 

reconstruction was completed 

last year when stonework experts 

Atwill-Morin repaired the extensive 

damage to the 77-year-old church 

tower and north façade. Repairs to 

the rest of the building's façade are 

now slated for completion this year. 

Masonry reconstruction and various 

other repairs to the exterior will cost 

about $1 million, including the work 

already done. This does not include 

most of the future repairs to the 

Newfoundland slate roof or painting 

the church's interior. 

In April, the church's property 

committee was startled to discover 

that rising material costs would inflate 

project costs by about 40 per 

cent over less than a year. For example, 

the cost of copper has more than 

doubled over the past year. Completing 

the exterior stonework this 

year results in increased efficiencies 

for the contractor, the containment 

of remaining costs and a reduction 

in cost escalations for the church. 

The church has also slightly reduced 

the scope of the contracted work to 

reduce costs further. "It shows the 

difficulty of pricing in this environment," 

says Bob Breithaupt, chair of 

St. Matthew's property committee. 

Last year's natural disasters, such 

as the major hurricanes that hit 

Florida and the Gulf states, are part- 

ly to blame, as is the building boom 

in China. "The huge amount of construction 

demand and rebuilding 

worldwide has put a big strain on 

materials costs," Breithaupt says. 

The property committee was 

pleased with the work completed last 

year by contractor Atwill-Morin Inc. 

and by Robertson Martin Architects 

Inc., the architectural firm overseeing 

the restoration. Both companies 

have extensive backgrounds in 

restoring older buildings, including 

some heritage buildings. 

"Unfortunately, there has been an 

acceleration in the need for funds," 

says Tom Martin, chair of St. 

Matthew's finance committee. "One 

of the major challenges is going back 

to the same people." Just before discovering 

the need for major reconstruction, 

the congregation had spent 

$500,000 to restore the church's impressive 

organ. 

"Our church has continued to respond 

very well [to the fundraising 

campaigns], as has the greater community." 

Mr. Martin says. "St. 

Matthew's is more than a church; it 

is also a vital part of the community." 

The Building-in-Faith campaign has 

already raised more than $800,000 in 

donations and pledges, largely from the 

church's congregation. He is also delighted 

by the amount of money raised at the 

Great Glebe Garage Sale in May and last 

year's Treasures-for-the-Tower Auction. 

The auction raised more than 

$55,000 and almost half of its revenues 

were generated by cash, sponsorships 

and items donated by nonparishioners. 

Donations were received 

from people who first heard 

about the St. Matthew's restoration 

in the Glebe Report. The church 

plans to hold another auction in 

2007.
