neighbourhood participated in a planting bee this spring. 

They planted twenty flats of flowers provided by the City

Glebe Singers seek members 

The Glebe Singers came together 

in 1990, initially to 

sing Christmas music, and 

have continued from there. 

We are a relatively small, 

mixed-voice choir, mostly 

residents of the area. We 

are ably and patiently directed 

by Janice Gray. In 

our 1991-92 year, we presented 

two public concerts -- 

one in December at the Cornmunity 

Centre, when we sang 

Christmas music; the other 

in May at Glebe-St. James, 

when we presented a varied 

programme, 19 pieces in all, 

including show tunes, Canadian 

folksongs, and some 

old ballads. We also did 

some carolling in the streets 

of the Glebe at Christmas; 

you may have seen us backing 

J.J. Clarke's weather report 

on CJOH that night! 

The Glebe Singers are now 

looking forward to the 1992- 

93 year. We are planning to 

begin practicing again in 

mid-September, and we would 

welcome new members. If you

_EDITORIAL NOTES 

Views expressed-in the Glebe Report are those of our 

contributors. 

We reserve the right to edit all submissions. 

Enjoy the last of summer 

As the last of this summer unfolds, it has been 

good to have a patch of real summer weather grace 

us with its presence. After such a soggy, cool July, 

it would be nice if we could look forward to a warm, 

hospitable fall season to ease us back into the old 

routines of school, work, and renewed committments 

in our community. 

MARKET VALUE ASSESSMENT 

One task which awaits Glebe residents and those of 

many other centrally located wards is the job of lobbying 

our Regional Councillors against the proposed 

market value reassessment. Please see our GCA and 

Councillor's columns for an update, and plan to attend 

the Ward Strategy Meeting on September 10 at the Ottawa 

South Community Centre. 

GLEBE REPORT DONATIONS 

At our June Annual General Meeting the Board of 

Directors of the GZebe Report voted to benefit several 

worthy causes. A Glebe high school student received 

a $100 sponsorship towards his trip to South 

America with Canada World Youth. The Glebe Co-operative 

Playgroup also received $100 to help refurbish 

and replace playground equipment in the Community 

Centre's play yard. 

Five hundred dollars was set aside to donate to 

Greening of Glebe projects, especially the re-planting 

at Central Park. 

Finally $1,000 was donated to the Ottawa Food 

Bank. It was immediately put to good use in their 

Hamper Programs, Soup Kitchens and Safe Homes programs.

O'Connor Street traffic 

Editor, GZebe Report, 

Bob Irvine's concern about 

speeding traffic on O'Connor 

Street (letter, June 5) is 

well-founded. He and other 

Glebe residents should be 

aware, though, that thorough 

traffic counts were taken 

throughout the Glebe, including 

O'Connor, for the 

study prepared October 1974 

by the Department of Traffic 

Engineering Services of 

the Regional Municipality of 

Ottawa-Carleton. 

The study, titled Glebe 

Traffic Plan, The Trial Period 

was prepared by the Region 

for the City of Ottawa 

and should be available from 

the City or at the main library. 

The study included 

licence plate origin-destination 

surveys, traffic counts, 

public opinion surveys 

and an analysis of accident 

statistics. 

The study compared traffic 

in and through the Glebe 

before and during the trial 

period, which began October 

1, 1973. Average speed of vehicles 

on O'Connor Street 

between Glebe and First 

Avenue was 30.7 mph before 

and 28.9 mph during the plan 

(figures were comparable in 

Carleton students 

search for housing 

Editor, GZebe Report, 

As fall classes approach, 

hundreds of Carleton University 

students, many of 

them in Ottawa for the first 

time, commence their search 

for off-campus accommodation. 

The Department of Housing 

and Food Services offers a 

free listing service to 

students who are searching 

for suitable off-campus 

accommodation and to members 

of the Ottawa-Carleton community 

who wish to provide 

such accommodation. Much of 

the accommodation that we do 

list is found in private 

homes where there may be a 

spare bedroom or two. Provision 

of meals or kitchen 

privileges is not always 

necessary, as the University 

can make available dining 

Ontario 

both directions). 

The speed of the 85th percentile 

(I guess that means 

fast drivers short of being 

raving lunatics) dropped 

from 34.8 to 23.9 mph. Overall 

in the Glebe the speed 

of this fast-track group 

of drivers during the trial 

plan varied from a high of 

37.2 on Second between Bronson 

and Chrysler, to a low 

of 29.2 at Fifth at Mutchmor 

School (before the stop 

signs were put in at Ralph). 

Mr. Irvine refers to a 

September, 1990 peak hour 

study recording about 300 

vehnicles per hour on O'Connor 

at Fifth. The 1973 counts, 

also at the peak afternoon 

hour and at the same intersection, 

were 450 before the 

traffic plan and 310 after 

its implementation. 

Interestingly, the 1973 

figures show counts on 

O'Connor between Strathcona 

and Patterson as 850 before 

the plan and 500 after. The 

drop in traffic on O'Connor 

from the more northerly 

section (500) to Fifth Avenue 

(300) is presumably 

local traffic. Take a look 

at the next speeding car. It 

might be your neighbour! 

Randal Marlin 

plans to students who wish 

to eat the largest number 

of their meals on campus. 

Residents of Ottawa South 

and the Glebe who have accommodation 

to spare and 

feel that they would like to 

rent it to a Carleton student 

should call our Off- 

Campus Housing service at 

788-5614. We can provide 

further information concerning 

the accommodation needs 

of students and we will 

be most pleased to list the 

accommodation. 

We appreciate very much 

the efforts of your readers 

who can assist.

THE CHILD PARENT SUPERVISED ACCESS PROJECT 

is a community based service providing supervised 

visits for the children of families going through 

separation or divorce. 

We need mature volunteers to be assigned to a noncustodial 

parent and child, in order to monitor their 

visits for two hours every second Saturday, between 

9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Training and on site support is 

provided by the project coordinators. Location is the 

Community Centre at 1480 Heron Road, just east of 

Bank (lots of free parking). 

The rewards are great as you are helping children 

maintain a relationship with both parents, while other 

family issues are being resolved through an 

assessment or court process. 

For information and to apply, please contact Betty 

Ann or Sally at 230-9706.

Skate's Beat 

Cyclists 

BY CST. GARY SCHUITEBOER 

Recently a request was 

mailed to the "Ask Skate" 

section of this column, from 

Glebe resident Mr. Lawrence 

Howman. His concern was bike 

safety, not only from a 

cyclist's point of view, but 

from the motorist's perspective 

as well. 

The highway traffic act 

defines the bicycle as a 

vehicle. Therefore the bike 

rider is obliged to adhere 

to the same rules and regulations 

of the road as 

drivers of motor vehicles. 

The same fines apply as a 

penalty to those who ignore 

the rules of the road. 

There are people who operate 

the bicycle as if it 

were an extension of their 

body. I can be directly 

across from another cyclist 

at an intersection with a 

red light. They will acknowledge 

me, even wave, then 

promptly drive through the 

red light in front of me. 

Often when I challenge the 

offending cyclist, they 

reply, "Well the way was 

clear, that's why I went 

through." 

The best way to stay 

within the law when driving 

a bicycle, is to drive it 

to a certain degree, the 

same way you would drive a 

motor vehicle. Obey the rules 

of the road. Stop at the 

stop signs and red lights. 

Avoid driving down one way 

streets the wrong way, and 

employ hand signals to indicate 

the coming to a stop 

or the making of right and 

left turns. It makes sense 

and is to your advantage to 

notify vehicles behind you, 

as to what your intentions 

of movement are. 

Then there are the motor 

vehicle operators who believe 

the road is their territory 

and they rule the 

roads. They believe the bicy- 

August f8, l2- Glebe Report 

learn the rules of the road 

cle has no place on city 

streets. I have become an 

avid bike rider since being 

assigned to the Ottawa Police 

Bike Patrol and I have had 

personal experience with this 

type of driver. Often I will 

observe a motor vehicle operator 

come to a stop sign, 

they will stop, check for 

traffic, no other motor 

vehicle is to be seen and 

then proceed through the 

stop sign almost colliding 

with the bike rider who just 

happens to be dressed in the 

blue uniform. It is as if the 

bike rider is invisible to 

the otherwise careful driver. 

They are soon educated in a 

memorable fashion that there 

are types of vehicles on the 

road other than the four 

wheeled version. 

There are bike riders who 

are not confident in their 

abilities to cope with city 

traffic. Intimidated, they 

retreat to the city sidewalks 

to ride. Unfortunately when 

riding on the sidewalks, they 

intimidate pedestrians. When 

riding a bike in the city, the 

correct location is as close 

as practicable to the right 

hand side of the roadway. Try 

not to weave in and out of 

parked cars. This type of 

unpredictable driving will 

most likely make the driver 

following you nervous and unsure 

of what you will do 

next. Drive in a confident 

manner, but drive to survive. 

A parked car that contains 

occupants failing to check 

for traffic before opening 

their doors, can provide a 

very painful experience for 

the unsuspecting bike rider. 

Last year I was the victim of 

such experience. There is a 

charge under the Highway Traffic 

Act for "Open door Improperly". 

The fine for this 

charge is $78.75, with an 

added two points against your 

license. 

Often I am asked what is 

required under the law to make 

a bicycle legal for the road. 

The vehicle should be in safe 

working order with responsive 

braking systems. For night 

riding the bike must be equipped 

with a headlight 

showing to the front and a 

red light or reflector to the 

rear. The front forks must 

have a white reflective material 

visible and the rear 

forks must have a red reflective 

material. A warning 

device such as a horn or bell 

is a requirement under the 

Highway Traffic Act. 

There are other pieces of 

equipment that I recommend. 

The most important is an

MVA ward strategy meeting - Sept. 10 

By 

G.C.A. 

President 

Beatrice 

Raffoul 

What happened to the lazy 

hazy days of summer? Let's 

hope that autumn is not 

drizzly, dull, rainy or 

cold. We will need all our 

energy for the debate over 

proposed region wide market 

value assessment::: 

MVA UPDATE 

Several meetings were held, 

in our community and with 

other communities. A package 

has been prepared and 

circulated to the hundreds 

who attended the Capital 

Ward meeting in June and 

to other groups in the City 

for their use and adaptation. 

The package included: 

a fact sheet on why MVA is 

unfair, a sample letter to 

send to Regional Councillors, 

a list of Regional Councillors 

and their addresses, 

and sample ads/posters that 

we will send to community 

newspapers. 

ACT NOW 

If you have not already 

done so, please write to 

Regional Chair, Peter Clark. 

We also need your help to 

circulate material to friends 

who live in other parts 

of the city and region. 

Extra copies can be obtained 

through Councillor Watson's 

office or at the Glebe 

Community Centre. 

ialized. 

At that time I could have 

been advised that legislation 

enabling MVA was already 

before the Provincial 

Legislature. However I was 

not informed. In early July 

we were startled to learn 

that Royal Assent was given 

to enabling legislation, 

(Bill 165, entitled Municipal 

Statute Law Amendment 

Act, 1991) on June 25th, 

1992. 

I have sent a letter expressing 

our concern that as 

the Minister responsible for 

matters in Eastern Ontario, 

her voice was not heard on 

the subject of MVA nor was 

there any attempt by her to 

discuss the impact of MVA 

with her constituents. 

As a result, I encourage 

you to focus your efforts 

at influencing Regional 

Councillors to defeat MVA 

and please let Ms. Gigantes 

know your feelings about her 

action on this important 

issue. 

N.B. Our next MVA Ward 

strategy meeting will take 

place at the Ottawa South 

Community centre, Thursday 

September 10th, at 7:30 p.m. 

THE EX 92 

Early in July a meeting 

was held with Don Reid and 

Councillor Watson to discuss 

the community's list 

of priorities to ensure a 

safe 10 day Exhibition. 

Parking, traffic control, 

noise and public safety 

were high on the list. 

Mr. Reid will retire as 

General Manager of the Exhibition 

this year. Mr. 

Bernie Colterman, who was 

responsible for major event 

planning at Lansdowne Park 

will become General Manager. 

He has invited all attending 

the Ex to pay attention to 

what they like and dislike 

about this event and to let 

him know. 

I and Councillor Watson 

also welcome your comments. 

We wish Mr. Colterman well 

and look forward to the 

continued frank dialogue we 

experienced with his predecessor. 

Happy Retirement Mr. 

Reid. 

At the June meeting we 

were urged repeatedly to 

lobby MPP, Evelyn Gigantes 

regarding our frustration 

with, and opposition to this 

approach to MVA. The reason 

being that if the Region 

voted in favour we would 

still have recourse to the 

province, as an amendment 

to the current Act would be

OWNERSHIP TRANSFERS 

The NCC recently transferred 

ownership of

Terrace, and Central Park 

from Lyon to O'Connor 

streets to the City of 

Ottawa. The City of Ottawa 

is now responsible 

for provision of all services 

to these streets 

and properties. 

REGIONAL REVIEW 

GCA Board Members attended 

a meeting for the 

City of Ottawa's participation 

in the regional 

review process, chaired by 

Commissioner Graeme Kirby. 

I have a few problems 

with the terms of reference 

of this third consultation 

phase. I feel 

that though previous attempts 

to study structural 

reform to municipal government 

were flawed, there 

existed a body of information 

that would have 

made it possible, at this 

stage, to suggest a few 

concrete models upon which 

discussion could have occurred 

and a vote decide 

the matter. 

Instead we have been 

asked to fill out another 

questionnaire. The bottom 

line must be less government, 

an efficient delivery 

of services, a decrease 

in taxes, and effective 

region-wide representation. 

During the election 

campaign of 1988, a 

plebiscite asked: Are 

you in favour of the City 

of Ottawa working toward 

one level of municipal 

government in the urban 

area of Ottawa-Carleton? 

81% said Yes.

for the Southeast 

Sector met in late June. 

The Regional Official Plan 

identifies all new future 

roadway proposals. This is 

necessary according to the 

Planning Act, if a given 

roadway proposal is to be 

studied - such as the Alta 

Vista Parkway. But before 

it can be studied, the 

Environmental Assessment 

Act states that a broad 

range of alternatives must 

be studied before a preferred 

alternative is selected. This 

study, I hope, will establish 

the need for and development 

of alternatives. 

Next meeting for the 

Public Advisory Committee 

is at Regional Headquarters, 

September 3 at 7:00 p.m. 

The first Public Information 

Centre is scheduled 

for September 24 at Canterbury 

High School, between 

6:30 and 9:00 p.m. 

GCA BOARD MEETINGS 

Our Board meets the fourth 

Tuesday of each month, except 

July, August and December. 

Next meetings are scheduled 

for September 22, October 27, 

and November 24 at Glebe Community 

Centre. If you have an 

item you want on the Agenda, 

please advise me up to the day 

before the meeting. Meetings

Help re-plant Central Park Sept. 27 

BY STEVE GURMAN 

The Environment Committee 

of the Glebe Community Association 

has organized a 

project to re-green Central 

Park. This is the open space 

bounded by Bank Street on the 

east, Lyon Street on the west 

Rosebery on the North and 

by Renfrew and Powell on the 

South. 

Why bother with Central 

Park, you might ask, isn't 

it green enough? 

Anyone who has lived in 

the neighbourhood long enough 

knows that the park has 

lost a great deal of the 

greenery which used to make 

it an oasis of peace and 

quiet on a hot summer's day. 

BENEFITS OF PARK FOLIAGE 

The foliage in a park 

like this plays an important 

role in keeping the urban 

environment healthy and 

enjoyable. 

Trees, and other growing 

plants yield a variety 

of benefits, not only to 

their immediate neighbours, 

but to the surrounding 

population. Among other 

benefits, they absorb pollution 

and produce more 

oxygen; moderate the hot 

temperature of the "concrete 

jungle" and reduce 

potential flooding during 

heavy rains. 

When we sit down in the 

middle of a mature park, 

we can pretend, for a few 

minutes, that we have left 

the noise and congestion of 

the city and are sitting 

in the unspoiled countryside. 

PARK IN DECLINE 

But the park is in decline. 

A number of the largest 

trees have had to be 

removed over the past 15 

years, victims of their age 

and the high water table at 

the western end of the park. 

The National Capital Commission 

was responsible for 

the park during most of this 

period, but its priorities 

lay elsewhere and no attempts 

were made to rePlace 

trees which died. 

The City of Ottawa assumed 

responsibility for the park 

several years ago, but the 

financial constraints of the 

90's have meant that it was 

not able to make any funding 

available to reverse the 

park's decline. 

Central Park used to be 

part of Patterson's Creek, 

which was grassed over near 

the turn of this century 

during the course of the 

city's development. These 

"civiliting" efforts have 

not quite defeated the 

forces of nature and every 

spring, when the western 

end of the park floods, 

nature attempts to reassert 

the "natural order" of 

things. 

It has become evident 

that trees and plants that 

are native to relatively dry 

soils do not thrive in the 

damp soil at the western 

end of the park. 

ENTER THE GLEBE ENVIRONMENT 

COMMITTEE 

Its mandate is to identify 

environmental issues of 

particular interest to the 

Glebe and to the city at 

large. It then tries to develop 

community-based activities 

to address these 

issues. 

FINDING A SOLUTION 

In the case of Central 

Park, the environment committee 

has been working to 

find a solution with the 

City of Ottawa - Recreation 

and Culture Department, 

with Glebe residents who 

live around the park, and 

further away, and with 

Capital Region Releaf. 

Capital Region Releaf is 

the local representative 

of a much larger organization, 

Global Releaf. 

Capital Region Releaf supports 

community-based reforestation 

projects and community 

education programmes 

to help urbanites rediscover 

how to live in harmony with 

nature. 

Given the lack of resources 

available from the City of 

Ottawa, the GCA has been 

hoe. 

WHEN AND WHERE? 

The replanting will take 

place Sunday, September 27

Fighting MVA 

we need your. help 

By 

Opuncilhor 

an Watson 

Once again, the battle is 

on to fight Market Value 

Assessment. The proposed 

Market Value Assessment will 

change the way your property 

taxes are tabulated so that 

they will be calculated according 

to the estimated 

market value of your house 

at 1988 levels as opposed 

to 1980 levels. 

I have a fundamental problem 

with a tax system that 

ties your tax rate to the 

real estate market. What 

this means for more than 85 

per cent of people in Capital 

Ward is that your property 

taxes will go up, if 

the proposal passes Regional 

Council in September. 

It also means that businesses 

in the area will 

face substantial tax increases 

which could affect 

jobs in the area, the prices 

of goods and services and 

the viability of the Glebe 

and Ottawa South as a positive 

environment for small 

business. 

I have been working with 

OSCA and the Glebe Community 

Association to fight MVA 

but we need your help. 

Please help us to lobby 

other regional councillors, 

particularly the Mayor, 

Jacquelin Holzman and Regional 

Chair, Peter Clark, 

to defeat the proposed Market 

Value Assessmpnr it 

goes to Regional Council in 

September. 

Now is the time to write 

to any other City Councillors 

or Mayors in Ottawa-

implementing MVA. Lists of

than 400 people attended and 

it was clear that people 

in the ward are not going 

to sit back and allow this 

to go through. 

If you have any questions 

or comments about MVA or

RECYCLING INFORMATION 

Attention Bank Street businesses: 

Did you know that 

you are entitled to cardboard 

recycling? Every Wed-- 

nesday, businesses on Bank 

Street from the Queensway 

to Holmwood Avenue and from 

Aylmer to Billings Bridge 

can put their cardboard by 

the curb for recycling. 

Please do your part for the 

environment and use this free

THE EX 

The Central Canada Exhibition 

Association's Annual 

Super Ex was scheduled for 

August 20 to 30. I managed 

to have the staffed barricades 

reinstated this year 

on streets immediately beside 

the park (Holmwood east 

of Bank, O'Connor south of 

Fifth Avenue and Adelaide 

Street). Local vehicles 

were given identification 

passes so that they would 

be permitted to enter. Beginning 

this year regular 

parking permit holders 

were allowed to park on 

their streets (unless they 

were designated emergency 

routes.)Letters to those 

people in the Glebe and west 

areas have been sent out 

by the city. 

Efforts will also be made 

by OC Transpo to encourage 

Ex-goers to leave their

PARKING: THE EX AND ROUGH 

RIDERS 

Many read about the horrible 

assault that took 

place after an illegally 

parked car incident in 

Ottawa South. 

I immediately spoke to 

the Chief of Police who 

agreed to increase foot and 

car patrols in the neighbourhood 

after Rough Rider 

games. During the next game 

I spotted two motorcycle 

officers, two on bicycle, 

two on foot and two police 

cars in the ward. A strong 

police presence acts as a 

strong deterrent to wouldbe 

trouble makers. 

The kind of boorish behaviour 

that some spectators 

show in our community 

cannot be tolerated. I will 

continue to ensure that 

police and parking enforcement 

continue to be extremely 

vigilant during major 

events at Lansdowne Park. 

If your street has cars 

parked illegally or your 

driveway is blocked, please 

call parking enforcement 

at 564-1457. 

Do not hesitate to contact 

the police at 9-1-1 should 

any debate arise between 

a resident and an owner of 

an illegally parked car. 

PAY CUT 

I took a voluntary pay 

cut of approximately $680, 

representing 2% of my City 

salary. I proposed a motion 

that all councillors 

do the same to help with 

the City finances. Regretfully 

it failed, so 

I proceeded with my request 

that the City Treasurer 

dock my pay cheque - 

every little bit helps: 

HOUSING FOR STUDENTS 

Many students at Carleton 

University are seeking 

housing. Ottawa has the lowest 

vacancy rate for apartments 

in the country and 

many students are struggling 

to find a place to

room or apartment for rent, 

please register your vacancy 

with the university's 

housing office at 788-5614.

Glebe Little League Baseball 

BY GORDON GREENWOOD 

From July 24 to August 1, 

1992, Glebe Little League 

played host to the baseball 

playdowns at the major 

level (ages 11 & 12) for 

both District 2 and District 

6. Congratulations are due 

to teams from East Nepean 

from District 2 and Orleans 

from District 6 for their 

success, and we wish them 

well in Windsor during the 

provincials. 

Our own majors distinguished 

themselves well, losing 

their last game in an exciting 

match with Carlingwood 

Frank Ryan, having outhit 

them and having made a 

come-back in the late innings 

which kept the outcome in 

doubt until the very end. 

Not only did the players 

distinguish themselves but 

many parents and other volunteers 

did as well. Marilyn 

and Eric Haldorsen did yeoman's 

duty in organizing 

a fundraising Bar-B-Q for 

the duration of the playdowns 

while Cathy and Ken Cramer 

spent innumerable hours 

supervising and working the 

Bar-B-Q through to a very 

successful conclusion. Many 

thanks to all of the volunteers 

who gave so freely of 

their time and effort to 

cook, serve and cater to the 

needs of the hungry masses.

Each year, my school participates in an International 

soccer Tournament held in the region of Brittany,France. 

Teams of 12 and 13 year olds come from all over Europe 

and compete. Our team, representing Canada, was made 

up of my five school mates at Lycée Claudel, five players 

from the Hull Select Mosquito Soccer Team, two 

others from a Lycée in Montreal, Marie de France, and 

a friend living in the Glebe - Michael Swinburne. The 

Town of Douarnenez, near Quimper, opened its homes to 

house all the players from around the world. We finished' 

the Tournament 43rd (out of 64 teams), improving on last 

year's results - a disappointing 63rd (64). All in all, 

it was a great experience, particularly learning about 

different cultures and meeting new friends. The 

Canadian flag pin was the hottest item of the tournament!

Young Offenders Act needs changes 

BY MAC HARB, M.P. 

From coast to coast Canadians 

are calling for 

reforms to our justice system 

- especially to the 

way we treat young offenders. 

There is immense public dissatisfaction 

with the current 

Young Offenders Act. 

And rightly so, because 

it is failing to deal adequately 

with the growing 

problem of youth crime in 

Canada. 

Public fears about the 

Act are well founded. For 

many young people, the sentences 

handed down are just 

a joke - a lenient slap on 

the wrist. Then it's back 

to business-as-usual. And 

often, unscrupulous adult 

criminal activity, with the 

understanding they will not 

be dealt with harshly by 

the authorities, if they are 

caught. 

Liberals believe that 

longer, more stringent 

sentences should be established 

for young offenders. 

Currently, the maximum 

detention for a serious 

offence is five years. But 

violent crime must be dealt 

with severely. Maximum sentences

Living safely with propane 

Propane is a flammable 

gas which is stored as a 

liquid under pressure. Propane, 

being heavier than 

air, will tend to accumulate 

in low spots upon release 

from its containment. 

Any leak in the containment 

system, if undetected and 

not corrected, could result 

in the contents of 

the entire cylinder discharging, 

posing as an explosion 

hazard. 

The following guidelines 

should be adhered to: 

Close the propane cylinder 

valve tightly 

even whenempty. 

Protect the cylinder 

valve from damage. 

Store propane cylinders 

outdoors or in a wellventilated 

uninhabited 

detached building such as 

a garden shed and away 

from any sources of heat 

or flames. 

Do not store cylinder 

inside a vehicle or inside 

any buildings. 

When not connected to 

the barbecue, as when transporting 

in your car for 

refill, use a FOL plug cap 

at the cylinder outlet, 

so that even if the valve 

is inadvertently opened 

or does not hold pressure, 

the plug will prevent propane 

from escaping. 

Propane is a safe and convenient 

fuel when it is 

used and stored carefully. 

Let us keep things safe.

Environmental Assessment Study of the Transportation Demands to 

and from the Southeast Sector of Ottawa-Carleton 

Second Public Notice 

Public Information Centre 

The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton has commenced its 

Environmental Assessment Study of the transportation demands to 

and from the Southeast Sector, in accordance with the 

Environmental Assessment Act, and the federal Environmental 

Assessment and Review Process. 

The Environmental Assessment process generally involves five 

phases. For this study, the first two will be completed by a 

consortium of firms led by UMA Engineering Ltd. These two phases 

include the identification and justification of need and the 

identification of alternative solutions to the need. Phases 3 through 

5, the identification of alternative design concepts through to the 

implementation of the preferred solution, will not be completed until 

a preferred alternative solution is approved by Council. 

Phase 1 of the environmental assessment for this study examines 

population and employment data, demographic data, land use 

characteristics, mapping information and travel data. It will involve 

reviewing travel forecasts based on the Region's Official Plan, and 

assessing future travel conditions on the existing road and transit 

systems. Phase 1 will conclude with a definition of the "Need" in terms 

of congestion, loss of greenspace, level of service, noise pollution, 

housing impacts, frustration, waste and other socio-economic costs.

Phase 2 of the EA process will cover a broad range of ways'and means 

of addressing the "Need" defined in Phase 1. This phase will involve 

identifying alternative solutions to the need; completing an inventory of 

natural, social and economic environment; identifying the impacts of 

each alternative solution on the natural, social and economic 

environment; evaluating the alternatives through an appropriate 

screening process; and finally, selecting the preferred alternative.

in Europe as a substitute 

for costly tapestries, 

wood panelling and leather. 

Also at this time Chinese 

papers painted on rice 

paper were produced for 

the European market. These 

were known as "India" 

papers because they were 

brought over by the various 

East India Companies. 

The development of style 

and design took off in the 

18th century. Artists and 

craftsmen such as Jean 

Papillon, a Parisian wood 

engraver and paper stainer, 

had international reputations. 

Flocked papers, 

chintz patterns, stripes, 

embossed papers and many 

other varieties were now 

available. Wallpaper was 

the choice of the wealthy. 

In the early 19th century, 

there were already attempts 

to produce a washable 

wallpaper. One of the best 

known paper designers was 

William Morris of the Arts 

and Crafts Movement. His 

flat stylized naturalistic 

designs first appeared 

in 1862; reproductions are 

available today. 

Since mid-20th century, 

vinyl and strippable papers 

appeared on the scene 

contributing to the "doit-yourself" 

movement popular 

on both sides of the 

Atlantic. Today the choice 

abounds - from reproductions 

to the latest in abstract 

design. In addition grass 

BY ANGEL CHE 

1992 has been a very busy 

year. In celebration of Canada's 

125th birthday, the 

Ottawa Dance Academy, where 

my daughter Julia takes 

dance lessons, had participated 

in many multi-cultural 

activities such as Homelands, 

the Y International Fair,

The children enjoyed themselves 

tremendously, meeting

(Imagine creating a "tent" 

dining room by draping 

fabric from the ceiling!) 

Practical tips: Before 

choosing your paper or 

covering, define your need. 

Any area where small children 

or pets brush against 

the walls might well benefit 

from scrubbable vinyl. 

Because colour is one of 

the most important elements 

in decoration, remember 

that in general 

lighter colours expand 

space and darker hues make 

rooms feel smaller. Warm 

colours seem to advance 

and cool colours to recede. 

Consider the scale of 

your pattern. In general 

apply larger patterns to 

large areas - although it 

can be dramatic to use an 

oversized pattern in a 

powder room. Small patterns, 

however, are rarely effective 

in large areas. 

What a difference a 

border makes. Limited only 

by imagination borders can 

emphasize architectural 

features and in some cases 

create them. 

If you decide to hang 

or install your wallcovering 

yourself, check the 

surface of your walls carefully. 

Plaster-fill cracks 

and size your walls. Should 

the wall surface ba unusually 

rough use a lining 

paper first: this is strippable 

for future need.

Ottawa Breast Screening Centre has first anniversary 

June 1992 marked the first 

anniversary of the opening 

of the Ottawa Regional 

Breast Screening Centre, 

which has screened over 

5,000 women for breast 

cancer. 

We are delighted to have 

reached the 5,000 mark 

within our first year," 

said Dr. Danièle J. Perrault 

Director of the Ontario 

Breast Screening Program 

(OBSP). "In large part, 

we owe our success to the 

incredible support we've 

received from physicians, 

women, and community groups 

who recognize the importance 

of breast screening and the 

quality of the service we 

offer our clients. Our 

staff go out of their way 

to make women feel at ease 

about having a mammogram 

done." 

That view was echoed by Dr. 

Susan Aitken, newly appointed 

Medical Director of the 

Ottawa Regional Breast Screening 

Centre, who is optimistic 

that the trend will continue. 

"I feel that as 

more and more women come 

here for screening, they 

will be impressed with the 

friendly and thorough ser- 

vice we offer, and they 

will tell their friends about 

us. Just as important are 

the physicians who I believe 

will continue referring 

their patients to us 

when they see the high 

standards we adhere to." 

The Ottawa Regional Breast 

Screening Centre is part 

of the Ontario Breast 

Screening Program, a Ministry 

of Health funded 

initiative which aims to reduce 

the mortality rate 

due to breast cancer by 

30 - 40% annually among 

women aged 50 and over. 

In Ontario, that could mean 

saving 300 lives a year. 

There are currently ten 

screening centres located 

throughout the province. 

A woman visiting an OBSP 

screening centre receives 

mammography, physical examination 

of the breasts 

by a nurse-examiner, and 

instruction in breast selfexamination. 

A unique 

feature of the OBSP is that 

women can make their own 

appointments with or without 

a medical referral, 

allowing them to take some 

control over their health. 

One Ontario woman in ten

Mutchmor's "Marvey" succeeds in Canada 125 mission 

When Mrs. Corrigan's Grade 5 Mutchmor class waved goodbye 

to their Canada 125 Creation, Marvellous Marvey, this 

spring, they had no idea if he would succeed in his mission. 

He planned to hitch-hike to St. John's, Newfoundland. 

Succeed he did! Thanks to many hospitable, fun-loving 

Canadians in Quebec and the Maritimes, Marvey arrived, ready 

to have a good time with Bernice Martin's class at St. 

Bonaventure School in St. John's. Read on 

Mutchmor students see Marvey off at McKale's Garage. He was 

taken to Quebec City by a kindly Mutchmor parent. 

Mdrvey poses with the Gendarmerie Royale du Canada 

in Quebec City. Cst.'Chico' Gagnon (rt.) took Mdrvey

Hopewell P.S. 

When your child has back-to-school jitters 

BY ROSEMARY GEDDES 

As the days get shorter 

and the nights get cooler, 

as the sounds of the Ex waft 

over the Glebe and Ottawa 

South, the old familiar 

fluttering of butterflies 

in the pit of my stomach 

heralds the start of 

school. It's a conditioned 

reflex (brought on by years 

of studenthood) that never 

left, even though my student 

days are far behind me. 

I think of the thousands 

of children at this time of 

year, preparing with excitement 

and trepidation, for 

that first day of school. 

The fortunate ones feel 

mostly anticipation. But 

some children are filled 

with dread as September looms 

closer. 

As an OBE mental health 

worker, I hear about the anxieties 

that some children 

suffer as school begins 

again. The following is a 

list of common complaints: 

1. Friends ending up in a 

different class. 2. Dislike 

of school. 3. Dislike of 

teacher. 4 Starting a new 

school and not knowing 

anyone. 5. Fear of not doing 

well academically. 6. Inab- 

RESTATE THE PROBLEM 

Clarify the problem by 

restating it and check with 

the child to make sure this 

is an accurate reflection 

of the problem. 

BRAINSTORM SOME STRATEGIES 

Whatever the problem may 

be, remember that it belongs 

to the child. Resist the 

temptation to offer a solution. 

Rather, encourage the 

child to list as many strategies 

as possible, along with 

their likely consequences.

Some problems have no immediate 

solution. Especially 

in these cases, children need 

the support and reassurance 

of their families. A secure,

help a child confront the 

stresses he or she may face

Happy times at Preschool Art Camp 

BY ANDREA LACASSE 

Summer certainly was not 

boring for those children 

who took part in the "preschool 

for the arts" summer 

art camp at Glebe St. 

James United Church. The 

themes were "The Circus" 

and "The Sea". 

The classroom started out 

bare on Monday mornings, but 

by the end of the week, it 

was filled with hanging 

trapeze artists, clown 

paintings, fish paintings 

and dancing jellyfish. 

Fridays were always full 

of fun! At Circus Camp, 

parents had their cameras 

ready as they watched their 

children march in a circus 

clown parade wearing costumes 

and playing instruments 

that the children 

had made 

At Sea Camp, parents were 

"captured" by a strange 

group of pirates and taken 

to their ship. They escaped 

only after a treasure hunt 

distracted the pirate's 

attention. 

Ecole 

Parsifal 

Ecole Parsifal School is 

a bilingual Waldorf school 

which since September 1991 

has taken up residence in 

the bright cheerful classrooms 

of Kingsway United 

'Church at 630 Island Park 

Drive. It offers an "early 

childhood program" for 

children aged 4 to 6 years, 

and classes through to Grade 

5. A new grade will be added 

each year until the full 

complement of eight grades 

is reached. 

This school was founded 

in 1991 by a group of Francophone 

and Anglophone parents 

who wished to have 

their children educated in 

a Waldorf setting which reflected 

the bilingual, bicultural 

reality of the 

region. 

The teachers are all bilingual 

(although a number 

of the parents are not) and 

the children learn to appreciate 

each other's language 

and culture in an atmosphere 

of mutual respect 

and friendship. 

The Waldorf curriculum 

was first developed in 

1921 by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, 

an Austrian educator, scientist 

and philosopher. It 

forms the basis for a worldwide 

network of schools, 

over 100 of which are located 

in North America.

Club invites 

new members 

BY MARTHA CAMFIELD 

If your children have had

their natural surroundings 

at a cottage or summer camp, 

they might want to keep 

right on learning about our 

plants and animals. Did you 

know that the Macoun Field 

Club might appeal to them? 

This club was founded over 

forty years ago by Bill 

Baldwin, a scientist who worked 

for the Museum of Nature. 

It represents the junior 

contingent of the Ottawa 

Field Naturalists' Club. 

The younger members (grades 

4 to 8) meet Saturday mornings 

at the Museum of 

Nature for workshops or 

talks by experts in various 

fields. Every other Saturday 

they go on a field trip, 

either to their designated 

study area in Stony Swamp 

or to some other natural 

area. High-school students 

meet separately, after school 

on Friday afternoons. 

Parents are welcome at 

meetings and on field trips.

but many parents like to

trips. For more information

Summer's Over 

BY DONNA HOLLAND 

The summer is over--kids thought it too brief 

But the faces of parents are bathed in relief 

No more sibling rivalry, no more fights to diffuse 

No more desperate moms trying hard to amuse. 

No more popsicles dripping on the carpet or floor 

No continual slamming of the front or back door 

Oh, the daily routine that each mom must revamp 

That perpetualT search for the perfect day camp. 

And those annual holidays at the cottage or shore 

Where it's too cold to swim, and the rains always pour 

Where the boys run amuck, and the girls simply whine 

While Mom prays and Dad grits his teeth all the time. 

Or those great treks to Vermont or Walt Disney World 

When the car seems to shrink as the insults are hurled 

"Move over!" they scream--"You're sitting on my side!" 

"Are we almost there, Dad?" Such an enjoyable ride. 

So much fun all these summer activities afford 

How can they incessantly claim they are "bored"? 

Their favourite refrain, "I have nothing to do!" 

Oh, to glorious summer, must we now bid adieu? 

Must we relegate to memory the summer that is past? 

Is the fun really over--is school here at last? 

As our children return to the halls they have trod 

Let us gratefully acknowledge--Yes, there really is a God!

OBSERVATION POST 

David Skinner 

BY COURTNEY BOND 

Readers may recall Observation 

Post in February telling 

of hooking a computer 

to the phone line. That connection, 

once made, proved 

far more fruitful than could 

be imagined. In no time I was 

in regular communication with 

a son who floats between 

Toronto and L.A., reaching 

him wherever he was. We 

really.discovered each other. 

But more was to come. About 

that time Canadians were 

reading the sad, momentous 

tale of the Quebec girl 

Nancy B., who won the legal 

right to have her life-sustaining 

"plugs" pulled. A 

Sarah Skinner wrote the Ottawa 

Citizen, pleading to 

others to live life to the 

fullest. She wrote of her 

husband, a sufferer from ALS, 

Lou Gehrig's Disease, who 

has lost control of every 

muscle but those of his eyelids 

and eyebrows, who lives 

an active life nonetheless, 

networking with his computer. 

I couldn't trace her rural 

address, but the newspaper 

discreetly put me in touch 

with her on March 6. I immediately 

got her on the 

phone. "Does your husband 

want to network? What service 

do you network with?"Compu- 

Serve." Wow, the one I use! 

"Give me your subscriber 

number:" And in a trice I 

was in touch with an extraordinary 

man, David Skinner. 

He is 45 years old. Amyotrophic 

Lateral Sclerosis 

first showed up in him in 

1975, and began to take its 

toll three years later. In 

August of 1980 his "lady 

friend of three years" left 

him, desolate. Half a year 

later Sarah Pincott appeared 

as he says, "on my doorstep" 

and has been with him since. 

Soon fully quadriplegic, he 

_ 

August 28, 1992 - Glebe Report 

became dependent on a ventilator 

for his life's breath 

in 1983. 

Sarah shares with David 

his refusal to accept the 

catastrophic consequences of 

his illness. They have succeeded 

in developing an independent 

lifestyle in the 

privacy of their own home 

with the aid of visiting 

nurses, and "lots of wonderful 

friends." David patterns 

his life somewhat on the 

English "superstar of science," 

Stephen Hawking. 

David has written articles 

on living with ALS, has 

granted interviews to CTV 

and to CBC Radio (using his 

computer voice). He has also 

written on travelling with 

a ventilator, has spent 

time with victims of ALS, 

counselling them. On June 1 

he travelled with Sarah and 

a nurse by car to Toronto 

where, one of 12, he received 

a 1992 Community 

Action Award as recognition 

of those and other services. 

His CV states, and I will 

vouch for it, "He is extraordinarily 

well-versed 

in current affairs, keeping 

in touch by reading and

human spirit soars above ALS 

A kilometre hence the old stone house, 

And there, behind, the trailer, David's home 

Called "Thrushwood pretty neatly-lettered sign. 

An ancient dog with faded coat limps out, 

And Sarah, ruddy-cheeked, his wife and nurse, 

Whom we have met, and fed and got to know. 

Without this partner's dedicated help, 

Her selfless effort, creature comfort rich 

Supplied, intelligence in focus sharp 

Devoted to his complex high-tech rig, 

He could not live the so rich life he lives. 

For us he's been a legend until now. 

This man of five and forty years whom fate 

Has robbed of all his muscular control 

Even his breathing, eating, for he must 

Take through a tube, knife-cut into his throat 

The very air he breathes, pushed by a machine, 

And through another tube into his gut 

His sustenance, `thout tasting. Motionless 

Must rest, and only can an eyelid drop 

To signal, or his brow can flick a switch 

That lets him spell on bright computer-screen 

The words he wants to say; and then a voice, 

A human-sounding ers'a.tz sound, croaks out. 

It says now, "You are welcome! Come right in!" 

For six long weeks we've been exchanging thoughts 

On our computers, by the phone-line linked. 

We "met" by chance, by moment's impulse push'd. 

He's told me of his vast collection, tapes, 

Cassettes of music, gift of distant friend, 

And posed me questions: Bach's B-minor Mass! 

And sent me chapter from the latest book 

He's writing. Limitations of his life 

He's told me of, and I in turn have writ 

Of my enthusiasms, of my ego-trips. 

Let's meet this invalid, this man of God. 

He not only bounced back 

this piece of verse, but 

sent it to his friend John 

in New York, whose bankrupt 

city is mentioned somewhat 

disparagingly in it. 

An answer, just as long in 

rhymed verse came back 

promptly from a somewhat 

nettled New Yorker. Once 

visiting him I told David 

a joke about a bishop. He 

was amused and made his 

machine guffaw. 

David is hampered in using 

the CompuServe Network 

because its receiving node 

is in Orleans, a long distance 

call from his home -- 

but for us to call each 

other, a local call. So he 

initiated and guided a joint 

effort by which we succeeded 

in directly linking our 

two computers. After a few 

false starts we successfully 

chatted and soon were 

passing large files, 

chapters of a book I've 

done. One chapter is about 

42,000 bytes (units of data 

measurement). His next 

effort was to transfer to 

my data bank a massive facilitator 

programme which 

will let him send me galleys: 

What next? 

David Skinner, 1992 

What an incredible, amazing, 

articulate, accom- 

plished man! How lucky 

I am to have found him. 

What a friend to have just 

picked, as it were, from 

off the air!
