How about a park on 

the Daly building site? 

Editor, Glebe Report: 

There is a campaign afoot 

to turn the Daly Building 

site into a park. To many, 

the opening up of this portion 

of Confederation Square 

to light and the emergence 

of the facades of beautiful 

buildings, formerly hidden, 

are a great improvement 

to the heart of Ottawa. 

If you saw the clip-out 

form asking the NCC to establish 

a park on the property 

in The Citizen (Saturday, 

May 2, pg A10), you 

may want to send it in, not 

only with your signature 

but with an attached sheet 

of the signatures and ad- 

Celebrate spring by taking 

part in Walk Ottawa, Saturday 

May 16, beginning at 

9:00 a.m. at Dows Lake 

Pavilion. 

Enjoy a 5 km (wheelchair 

accessible) or a 10 km 

walk with your family and 

friends in the beautiful 

Dows Lake area. You can get 

your face painted, dress as 

dresses of your neighbours 

or co-workers. 

How many people don't 

see the need for more boutiques 

or office space on 

the square? How many who 

favour a downtown park will 

find both the Citizen form 

and a stamped envelope? 

There is a copy of the 

Citizen article along with 

a supporters list available 

for signing in the Glebe

the night of the Glebe Community

EDITORIAL NOTES 

Views expressed in the Glebe Report are those of our 

contributors. 

We reserve the right to edit all submissions. 

Yes 

We have no 

weather forecaster 

I suppose I should let bygones be bygones, but 

I can't resist a joke, even if it is on myself. 

Last month in this space I chuckled over the 

fact that Mother Nature had fooled our weatherpersons 

into predicting a heavy snowfall for 

April 1, which had not materialized. 

"Quite the April Fool's joke she'd had on all of us," 

I mused, and suggested we could all relax now and 

enjoy the signs of Spring. 

Imagine how I felt on April 9th as the Glebe 

Report was (or likely wasn't) being delivered in 

a blizzard that heaped piles of snow on Ottawa. 

"It's about your future as a weather reporter," 

teased a waggish friend of mine. "I thought your 

chances were pretty slim as I read my GZebe Report 

while the snow travelled horizontally past my 

window!" 

Do I think Spring is here to stay?? 

No Comment. 

David Rose, the creative cryptic crossword 

enthusiast in the Glebe has another puzzle in this 

month's edition. His aim was to drive us up the 

wall - smiling, and he is wondering if he has 

succeeded. If you'd like to let us know how you 

feel about this feature or any other aspect of 

our paper, please feel free to leave a message on 

our tape at 236-4955 or drop us a line at the main

Malak exhibition at Museum of Nature 

To help celebrate Canada's 

125th Anniversary and the 

41st anniversary of Ottawa's 

famous Canadian Tulip Festival 

the Canadian Museum of 

Nature has invited photographer 

Malak, of Ottawa 

to prepare a retrospective 

exhibition of his famous 

photographs of tulips and 

other spring flowers. 

The Exhibition was officially 

opened on May 7 

by His Excellency Jacques 

Lecomte, Head of the delegation 

of the Commission of 

the European Communities and 

Dr. Alan R. Emery, Director 

of the Canadian Museum of 

Nature, assisted by Mr. 

Grant Hooker, President of 

the Canadian Tulip Festival. 

The photographs will be 

displayed in an unusual 

garden setting during the 

entire month of May and 

may later tour several 

European and Canadian cities. 

The prints will highlight 

Malak's photographic work 

on behalf of the Netherlands 

Flower-Bulb Institute, 

now known as Netherlands 

Flowerbulb Information 

Centre. Malak was the of4- 

ficial photographer of 

NFBI for Canada and the 

United States from 1948 

to 1987 and had the responsibility 

of promoting 

Dutch bulbs in pictures and 

words. As a measure of his 

success, it was estimated 

that Canada imported about 

3 million bulbs in 1948. 

The folks at Carleton University 

have been busy. 

It's their 50th birthday 

and not a month has gone 

by that some event to mark 

the year hasn't been organized. 

There are a variety 

of academic conferences 

and symposia that will 

highlight the achievements 

and levels of excellence 

attained by faculty and 

students. 

But if anniversaries 

are a time for serious reflection, 

they are also a 

time for having fun. Staff 

at both the university's 

Public Relations and Alumni 

and Development offices 

are currently planning just 

that for Thursday, June 18, 

the university's official 

birthday. 

That afternoon, current 

and former faculty and 

staff as well as students 

and alumni can take part 

in a picnic extravaganza 

located in the vicinity of 

the Physical Recreation 

Centre on campus. The fun

In 1987 more than 100 million 

bulbs were grown in 

Canada's home gardens and 

greenhouses for the cut 

flower industry. 

The exhibition consists 

of 45 colour enlargements 

selected from Malak's many 

photos of tulip beCts

Keukenhof gardens as well 

as home gardens in Holland,

1951 to Ottawa's Board of 

Trade to take advantage of 

the hundreds of thousands 

of tulips and daffodils 

that blossomed around the 

Capital's Parliament Buildings, 

its driveways, lake

was a great success from

The success of the Canadian 

Tulip Festival encouraged 

the creation of 

numerous other festivals 

in Ottawa, including Winterlude. 

Canadians now have 

several good reasons to 

visit their Capital, in 

addition to Parliament 

Buildings. They can celebrate 

the end of winter 

and feast their eyes on 

Ottawa's fabulous displays 

of tulips, visit three new 

world class museums and 

make a special tour of the 

Canadian Museum of Nature 

to see Malak's photographs 

and other great exhibitions 

in progress. 

The exhibit is officially 

sponsored by Japan Camera 

Centre.

CAPITAL COLUMN 

Spring cleanup Saturday May 30th 

By 

Oluncillor 

Jim Watson 

LANSDOWNE PARK 

Recent discussions about 

Lansdowne Park have focused 

on a proposal from the 

Historical Ottawa Development 

Incorporated (HODI) 

to put a farmers market 

and antique fair in the 

Horticultural Building. However 

the community raised a 

number of concerns with this 

proposal including: 

*the need to rezone Lansdowne 

from Parkland to Commercial 

*the traffic problems that 

would be created as a result 

of delivery trucks, 

customers, etc. 

*unfair competition for surrounding 

merchants in what 

would be viewed as a government 

subsidized operation 

*turning the Cattle Castle 

into a shopping mall - something 

it was never meant 

to be. 

Because of these difficulties 

and the lack of 

broad-based community support 

for HODI's proposal, 

I worked with Peter Hume, 

the City Councillor for Alta 

Vista Ward to develop a compromise 

proposal for Lansdowne 

Park that would accomplish 

the following: 

*add green space (parkland 

would be created along 

Holmwood Avenue from Bank 

Street to the community park 

near the canal) 

*refurbish the Cattle Castle 

to its original form but not 

as a trade show complex or 

food fair 

*use existing federal and 

provincial funds as well as 

money from the Central 

Canadian Exhibition Association 

relocation fund as 

opposed to property tax dollars 

for the refurbishment. 

The Cattle Castle would 

be renovated in a "bare 

bones" fashion in order to 

keep costs in line. We 

would make it structurally 

sound, spruce it up and 

use it for a skating, curling, 

and broomball facility 

in the winter and a variety 

of communities activities 

in the summer. 

The proposal would create 

a strip of parkland along 

Holmwood Avenue from Bank 

Street to the community 

park near the canal. This 

is a good opportunity to 

bring more greenspace into 


the community and to make 

Lansdowne Park into a park 

rather than a parking lot. 

Our proposal also involves 

leaving the Ex at 

Lansdowne Park. For close 

to two decades, the Ex 

has been considering leaving 

Lansdowne Park. Regrettably, 

it appears that 

they will not be leaving 

the park in the foreseeable 

future, for a wide variety 

of reasons. The $2.8 million 

relocation fund was 

to be used to relocate. If 

they do not relocate, that 

money returns to the city. 

We propose the Ex remain 

at Lansdowne and that the 

relocation fund be used to 

refurbish the Cattle Castle. 

Many people I have talked 

with would prefer to put up 

with the Ex for 10 days each 

year ("the devil we know"), 

rather than an overdevelopmen 

proposal like HODI's which 

would have the potential to 

create a 365 day-a-year 

traffic and overuse situation 

This plan has been approved 

in principle by City 

Council and is now in the 

hands of city staff who are 

examining the feasibility 

and costs of implementing 

it. 

I am hosting Town Hall 

Meetings on Lansdowne Park 

at 7:00 p.m. on May 12 and 

May 21 in the Assembly Hall 

at Lansdowne Park. For more 

information please contact 

my office at 564-1308. 

SPRING CLEANUP 

Every year in the spring, 

when the snow melts off our 

city streets, sidewalks, 

and parks, we often find 

a lot of garbage has accumulated 

over the winter 

months. In an effort to clean 

up our neighbourhood I am 

organizing a spring cleanup 

day on Saturday May 30. 

First Brands, the company 

that produces Glad garbage 

bags has generously donated 

garbage bags and painter caps 

for volunteers. 

With the help of residents 

of the Glebe and Ottawa 

South, who are willing to 

volunteer their time to walk 

around the neighbourhood 

picking up the litter, I 

think we can have a real 

impact. If you would like 

to participate in the spring 

clean up, please meet me at 

the Glebe Community Centre 

at 690 Lyon Street at 10:00 

a.m. on May 30 or at the Old 

Firehall at 260 Sunnyside 

Avenue at 1:00 p.m. For 

more information, please call 

my office at 564-1308. 

BROWN'S INLET 

I was pleased to meet with 

residents of Broadway Avenue 

and Craig Street regarding 

the poor state of the retaining 

wall in Brown's Inlet. 

As a result of our 

meeting, city staff have 

started temporary repairs 

to the retaining wall. We 

hope to have a proper and 

permanent solution in the 

very near future. Thank you 

very much to neighbours who 

took the time to meet with 

city staff to explain the 

problem. 

CENTRAL PARK -FIRE DEPT.PUMPI 

I would like to thank the 

firefighters at # 10 fire 

station for their assistance 

in pumping water out of 

Central Park. While there 

is still some water left 

in the park, the serious 

flooding problem has decreased 

substantially. Firefighters 

made several trips 

to the park in response to 

community concerns about 

the flooding. This is the 

first year the city and not 

the Capital Commission has 

owned the property. 

BLUE BOXES - PLASTIC BOTTLES

More than just a 

"FOR SALE" 

sign on your lawn! 

through the Blue Box program 

this fall. If City 

Council approves the proposal 

on May 6, the City will 

use a $44,000 a year grant 

from the Ontario soft drink 

industry intended to reduce 

municipal losses. I voted in 

favour of this initiative. 

SENATORS 

There will be a meeting 

on May 11 at 7:30 p.m. at 

the Glebe Community Centre 

with representatives from 

the Ottawa Senators, the 

Community Association and 

NG City departments will discuss 

ways to better handle 

the influx of traffic in 

the neighbourhood. 

SOCCER FIELD 

I am working with the 

Glebe Neighbourhood Activities 

Group, Lansdowne 

Park and the Ottawa Rough 

Riders to see if we can 

work out a mutually acceptable 

arrangement for a 

soccer field at Lansdowne 

Park to be shared with the 

Rough Riders. 

There is great demand 

for soccer fields in our 

community and I am working 

to see what we as a City can 

do to accomodate this.

Glebe Singers in concert May 14 

BY DAVID ROSE 

The Glebe Singers have 

been working hard through 

the winter months on their 

repertoire of choral music. 

Ready or not, we would 

like to sing for you. 

Come join us on Thursday 

May 14, in the hall of 

Glebe-St. James United 

Church on Lyon St. at 

First Avenue. We will be 

offering up a wide variety 

of music ranging from some 

relatively old and traditional 

ballads to some 

show tunes and modern 

popular songs (sorry Rappers, 

nothing after the 

Beatles). All will be in 

harmony, we trust, mainly 

in 3 or 4 parts, and we 

would love to see you there 

The show will begin at 8:00 

p.m. and will last about 

two hours, including a 

break. To add to the excitement, 

we will be recording 

our first live 

album, so your support 

would be appreciated. Your 

challenge, should you decide 

to accept it, is to 

see if you can identify 

the five languages you 

will hear. Hint: two of 

them are Canada's official 

languages. 

The Glebe Singers came 

together in 1990, initially 

to sing Christmas music, 

and have continued from 

there. Most of the members 

are residents of the area. 

We are ably and patiently 

directed by Janice Gray. 

Some of you joined us for 

our Christmas concert at 

the Community Centre in 

December, on what turned 

out to one of the more 

blustery evenings of the 

winter. We hope you en- 

joyed the show and we thank 

you for your encouragement 

and for your generous donations. 

We collected $80 

for the United Way. At 

our spring concert, we will 

again be asking for your 

support in the form of cash 

donations. This time, proceeds, 

net of the cost of 

the hall, will go to the 

Ottawa Food Bank. 

If you like to sing and 

might be interested in 

joining a group of enthusiastic 

amateurs seeking to 

have some fun and improve 

their skills, why not come 

out and hear what we are 

doing? Formal training is

Skate's Beat 

Beat Officers train in the Glebe 

BY CST. GARY SCHUITEBOER 

You may have noticed that 

over the last few weeks 

your area has been patrolled 

by two beat officers. I 

would like to reassure you, 

the Glebe's crime rate has 

not escalated. The January 

1992 Glebe Fbport contained 

an article by head of patrol 

services, Superintendent 

Jim Bickford. He announced 

the intention of the force 

to have twenty new recruits 

spend some time on the beat 

during their officer training 

experience. I enrolled 

in the Ontario Police College's 

Coach Officer Training 

course, to qualify me 

to train these new recruits 

and I am successfully using 

the beat as a training and 

working environment. 

It was rather humorous 

on one tour of duty, the 

reaction I observed from an 

older man waiting for a 

bus at Bank and Glebe. As 

my partner and I passed he 

exclaimed to his wife, 

"Are we in the right part 

of town?" 

Police work today has been 

motivated to take up the 

theme of community based 

policing. As far as I am 

concerned, the beat cop is 

the epitome of community 

based policing. Information 

exchange and the public's 

trust are essential ingredients 

to effectively serve 

an area. The public's trust 

can be achieved with the 

increased police presence 

that the beat officer can 

attain. People seem less 

intimidated and more able 

to have a conversation with 

the foot patrol officer, 

over his counterpart in 

the cruiser. 

Every day I see the people 

that make up the area I 

patrol. I know their names 

and their personalities. 

They in turn know me and 

express their concerns. 

These concerns can be 

addressed on a personal 

level. A beat officer is 

motivated to take action 

on a situation, because 

sooner or later the person 

who raised the issue will 

stop the officer on the 

street to see what action 

has been taken. As a beat 

officer you are always 

accessible to the concerned 

citizen. 

One recent issue is the 

increased number of vagrants 

harassing passersby 

for handouts. In this 

time of recession this type 

of activity has been on the 

tncrease. However when the 

pedestrian is verbally 

abused when change is not 

given, or intimidated to 

the point of crossing the 

street to avoid this experience, 

then the issue 

must be addressed. This 

concern has been acted upon 

since I have been training 

new recruits. The routine 

is usually to first challenge, 

then to warn that if the 

offender persists they 

will be charged under the 

existing bylaw. The charges 

and the procedure that must 

be followed are demonstrated 

to the recruit,then 

the opportunity for the recruit 

to incorporate what 

they have learned is given 

on the next similar situation. 

This method of demonstration 

and then practice 

is the way I train the 

recruit in every situation 

One observation the recruits 

have made to me is 

about the many people that 

speak to us during a tour 

of duty. In a cruiser the 

officer may speak with 

eight to ten people in a 

shift, more than likely 

only the victims, or the 

suspects of an incident. 

The beat officer may speak 

to over ten times that many 

people. The added benefit 

for the beat officer of 

speaking with people just 

going about their day to 

day business is that a positive 

and fresh attitude of 

working with the public 

can be maintained. The 

beat officer is not always 

dealing with the negative 

situations. In encourage 

recruits to remember that 

when they are assigned to 

their future car area, to 

park the cruiser and go 

for a walk during the down 

time between calls. Meet 

the merchants and the residents 

of the area they 

patrol. It makes for a 

positive enjoyable shift 

if you know the people in 

your area, and they know 

you. 

I've heard it said that 

policing has come full 

circle; that the beat officer 

or the 'bobby' of 

Sir Robert Peel's day is 

the model for community 

based policing. I concur 

and I would strive to inculcate 

this attitude in 

my recruits. 

ASK SKATE 

My purpose has always 

been to become more involved 

with the concerns of 

the community I patrol. The 

Glebe Report has been an 

excellent medium to give

The usual articles that are reported stolen as the result 

of a break and enter to the home are the home entertainment 

items, such as VCR's and stereo systems. During 

my analysis of the police reports, I noticed that along 

with these conventional targets, that the home computer 

has also become a popular item for the would be thief. 

One incident in the theft under category, involved a 

suspect who steals purses left behind by the owners who 

are in an office. Suspect described as white female 18- 

20 yrs old, 5 foot 6 to 5 foot 7 inches, medium build, 

dark shoulder length hair, English speaking, bad complexion. 

She was wearing a 3/4 length burgundy coat 

with a colour design on the front and the sleeves were 

of a shiny material, also wearing blue jeans and white 

running shoes. 

One-motor vehicle stolen from area two, was recovered 

in the Centretown area north of the Queensway. An arrest 

was made regarding the robbery incident, and as a 

result the suspect apprehended is awaiting trial.

It looks as if we are 

finally getting somewhere on 

the issue of development of 

the park. 

At the March Board meeting, 

just prior to this committee 

meeting, members discussed 

the HODI proposal fully. In 

addition, Mr. Watson 

discussed his suggestions 

(refer to his column). Not 

knowing how members of the 

committee were going to 

react to either vision for 

the Park, the Board did not 

at that time adopt a 

specific motion. 

At the April 8th CSOC 

Committee meeting I spoke 

briefly to the HODI 

proposal. I asked that it 

be tabled so the new motion 

presented by Councillors 

Hume and Watson be given 


sufficient time to develop 

into a full proposal with 

benefit of a proper 

financial breakdown. 

At our April 28th meeting, 

the Board unanimously 

adopted a motion of support 

for the Councillors 

proposals. 

TWO TOWN HALL MEETINGS WILL 

BE HELD IN THE ASSEMBLY 

HALL, LANSDOWNE PARK, MAY 

12TH AND MAY 21ST AT 7:00 

P.M. 

MARKET VALUE ASSESSMENT 

Some time ago, I began 

writing of the impending 

Region-Wide Assessment(RWA) 

Proposal and the Impact 

Study. It had been expected 

to be tabled before this but 

on April 6th, the Regional 

Finance Commissioner 

recommended that the 

Executive Committee approve 

the milestone schedule, 

outlined herein for 

evaluating and reviewing the 

RWA impact Study to be 

released by the Ministry of 

Revenue during the later 

part of April. On April 

13th, the Executive 

Committee did approve the 

schedule followed by 

Regional Council approval on 

the 22nd of April. The 

Impact Study was released to 

the area Treasurers on April 

27th. Our Councillor and 

the public will have their 

first opportunity to review 

the Impact Study on May 4th 

when it is tabled. I plan 

to attend this meeting. 

During the months of May to 

August each Area 

Municipality Council will 

have a consultation period 

with the Ministry of 

Revenue, and in September 

the Executive Committee and 

Council will have a final 

opportunity to review and 

approve the new assessments 

to be implemented for 1993 

taxation. 

At the GCA Meeting in April 

the Board expressed great 

concern over the way in 

which the breakdown of the 

impact will occur. Back in 

1989 the province had been 

asked to present the 

information by neighbourhood 

and not Ward. We are now 

told that the system only 

allows for a breakdown by 

political ward. The other 

part of the Region's 1989 

resolution requested that 

both medians as well as 

means(averages) be supplied 

so as to have indicators of 

the impact. Again, we are 

told, only now, that medians 

are not part of the 

Provincial presentation and 

means will be identified in 

percentage increments by 

classification of property. 

With computer technology as 

advanced as it is, and given 

the fact that the province 

has had three years to 

provide the information in 

the format requested, our

A Lansdowne Park compromise 

GCA 

BY JIM MCCARTHY 

And so yet another proposal 

for the future of Lansdowne 

Park. This one, endorsed 

by the Glebe Community 

Association (GCA) includes 

retaining the Ex. Have we 

taken leave of our senses? 

After 15 years of trying to 

chase it out, why are we inviting 

it to stay? 

Simple: It's a recognition 

of reality. The roller-coaster 

of the last ten years, 

with Concept Plans, proposals 

for Water Theme Parks, the 

narrow escape from a massive 

Exhibit Show Complex complete 

with parking garages, 

the threats of wrecking balls 

and bulldozers at the Aberdeen 

Pavilion, and now HODI - 

we're exhausted. After all 

this, the simplicity and 

economy of Jim Watson and 

Peter Hume's proposal seems 

a breath of fresh air. 

It's not perfect, but that's 

the point. On this issue, 

perfection is a mirage. Overall, 

this proposal contains 

something to displease almost 

everybody, but in the 

view of many I've spoken to, 

the good bits outweigh the 

bad. Let's hope other interested 

groups think so as 

well. 

First, the Ex, like it or 

not, it's the devil we know, that the Ex, in its tradiand

Equally important however is Lansdowne stalwart pointed 

out to me, the politics and 

economics of a recession 

may be the best incentive 

to adopt this sensible, fiscally 

responsible and environmentally 

sensitive resolution. 

And what of HODI, and its 

plans to use the heritage 

buildings for a food and 

antique market? Quite simply, 

it was not developing 

the kind of community and 

political support necessary 

to get through Council. But 

HODI played a valuable role, 

in providing a breathing 

space immediately after the 

election, and delaying the 

bulldozers. 

For well over ten years, 

Lansdowne issues have alternatively 

bored and infuriated 

Glebe and Ottawa South 

residents. They have damaged 

the careers of three successive 

City Councillors - 

and are not resolved even 

yet. The Watson-Hume proposal 

seems to me a balanced way 

of dealing with most of the 

issues, getting them off the 

table for what may be the 

long term, and allowing the 

City and neighbourhood to 

move on to other things.

Speech and hearing month 

Imagine waking up and 

suddenly finding yourself 

unable to speak. That's 

the nightmare scenario 

that has occurred for over 

2,200 adults in the Ottawa- 

Carleton region who suffer 

from a language disorder 

known as aphasia. 

Aphasia comes from a 

Greek word that means literally 

"without speech." 

The cause is usually a 

stroke which has damaged 

the language centre of the 

brain. 

People with aphasia usually 

have trouble with all 

aspects of language, not 

just speech. They also have 

trouble understanding, 

reading and writing. Consequently, 

these people are 

often isolated within our 

community. 

May is Speech and Hearing 

month. It's a time to 

share with friends and 

family who have speech and 

language problems, including 

aphasia. Why not arrangp 

a visit. Because the

The Nation's Capital will 

be pulling out all the stops 

for Canada's 125th birthday. 

From May 6 through Sept. 

7, the Capital will be celebrating 

Confederation and 

the Canadian identity. The 

celebration will provide us 

with an opportunity to 

learn about one another, 

to find new perspectives and 

to gain a greater appreciation 

of our distinctiveness. 

The heart of Ottawa's 

festivities will be Canada 

House and Confederation 

Park. Presented by the 

National Capital Commission 

and open daily starting May 

6, Canada House will be 

located at 90 Elgin St., at 

the corner of Elgin and 

Laurier. 

It will offer hands-on 

activities, as well as an 

abundance of exhibits on 

Canadian achievement in 

culture, science and sports 

In addition to daily activities, 

special events are 

planned throughout the 

summer, starting May 23 

with The Great Canadian 

Youth Happening. 

Overview of Canada 125 events 

This day-long gathering 

is the biggest youth gathering 

ever seen in Canada's 

Capital and is one of 

Ottawa's main events this 

year. Thousands of young 

Canadians and their families 

will come together for a 

day of workshops, shows, 

games and activities. 

Events will include a 

parade on Confederation 

Boulevard, the official 

dedication of Canada House 

by the Governor General 

of Canada, and Interaction 

Canada, a discovery-filled 

day of youth programming 

and activities in Confederation 

Park -- the "front 

yard" of Canada House. The 

evening will be capped off 

by a live show and concert 

celebrating the spirit of 

youth. 

Another activity focusing 

on youth is Voyageurs Canada 

92. Air Canada will be 

helping about 37,000 youths 

travel across the country 

through this initiative. Onehundred 

twenty-five people, 

between the ages of 16 and 

21 in each of the 295 federal 

constituencies, will 

be offered reciprocal ex- 

changes to a riding that 

has been twinned with their 

own. In the case of Ottawa 

Centre, the twinned riding 

is North Vancouver. 

The program, administered 

by Secretary of State, is 

designed to promote greater 

understanding among Canadians. 

Exchanges will take 

place between June and 

November 1992. 

Participating youths will 

spend one week as a guest 

of the twinned riding. In 

return, their families must 

provide accommodations for 

a Voyageur from the twinned 

riding. 

For more information about 

Voyageurs Canada 92, or 

to apply, please contact 

your local school, church, 

or youth association. 

For people of all ages, 

Governor General Ramon 

Hnatyshyn is hosting a 

garden party. The Governor 

General's Garden Party and 

Concert has been scheduled 

for June 27 and offers an 

afternoon on the grounds 

of Rideau Hall, with entertainment 

activities and 

refreshments. 

A few days later, the 

biggest of all the Canada 

125 celebrations takes 

place -- Canada Day: There 

will be something for everyone: 

a Royal Visit, Rap'n 

Roll in Confederation Park 

and two programs in Jacques 

Cartier Park to celebrate 

the talents of Canada's 

Youth, Once Upon a Time 

in Canada to look back 

at 125 years ago, and The 

Sky's the Limit celebrating 

Canadian achievement. A 

show from the Hill with 

big name entertainers and 

a massive fireworks display 

closes the evening. 

A number of other activities 

will be commemorating 

Canada 125 in the Capital 

this summer. For more information, 

please call 

Canada's Capital Information 

Centre of the National 

Capital Commission 

at 239-5000. A Calendar

Brand new design 

promotes Glebe businesses 

BY PAUL BOURQUE, CHAIRMAN 

While issues like the Cattle 

Castle, Sunday shopping, 

and parking problems 

in the Glebe seem to appear 

on every agenda, the 

Executive Committee of the 

GBG has worked very hard 

this past year finalizing 

plans for our new promotional 

artwork designed for us by 

David Berman. Our aim is 

to use this design to 

promote the Glebe as a 

friendly, village-like 

community that is not only 

worth a visit but is something 

to remember. So far 

we have produced postcards 

which are for sale in 

many of the local shops, 

and are working on other 

items such as coffee mugs 

and strong canvas shopping 

bags. 

On Sat. May 23, the GBG, 

in conjunction with the 

Glebe Community Association 

will be offering 200 Canada 

125 cotton T-shirts for 

sale, the backs of which 

will be printed with the 

attractive new artwork. 

The money raised by sales 

of T-shirts will be given 

to the Ottawa Food Bank so 

we hope to see all of you 

sporting your new Glebe 

shirts on that weekend!! 

There will also be free 

balloons for the kids at 

the booth which will be 

located in Kamal's lot on 

the corner of Bank and 

Third. 

To extend the use of this 

design further, the GBG 

became a full member of 

the Ottawa Tourism and 

Convention Authority. 

Tourist cards, printed 

with the design on one side 

and an inviting, bilingual 

message on the other 

will be widely distributed 

by the OTCA and hopefully 

will entice the tourists 

to Ottawa's oldest suburb. 

Local shops and restaurants 

are ready for a share 

of the $460 million that 

visitors are reported to 

spend in the Nation's 

Capital every year! 

Check out the prizes 

being offered for our 

Colouring Contest in this 

issue of the GZebe Report. 

(Kids only, eh?) On behalf 

of the Glebe Business Croup 

thank you for your continuing 

support.

SPORT 

OCMHA teams wrap up banner year 

BY MARY ZAMPARO 

This was a banner year 

for the 188 boys and girls 

from Ottawa South, the 

Glebe and Centretown who 

wear the colours of the 

Ottawa Centre Minor Hockey 

Association. The 5,6 and 

7-year olds in the hockey 

school, the Supers, won the 

Rockcliffe tournament. 

One of our novice teams, 

the Metros, won the Nepean 

Chiefs tournament and the 

District 6 novice division 

championship. The other 

novice team, the Brewers, 

defeated the Metros to win 

the B-side of the City of 

Ottawa Minor hockey tournament. 

The three atom teams 

all fared well in the playoffs. 

The peewee Cruisers 

won the Cumberland tournament. 

The other two peewee 

teams, the Blades and 

the Icemen, made it to the 

semi-finals of the City tournament, 

as did our bantam 

team. The midget team made 

it to the finals. 

One of the most encouraging 

aspects of this season 

was the unprecedented number 

of new players. Noncontact, 

house league hockey 

is definitely making a comeback. 

The hockey school had 

22 new players this season,

The world can turn upside 

down, declares Hyman Erlich, 

who inadvertently finds 

himself witness for the 

second time in his life to 

undeserving, brutal death. 

Ehrlich, a survivor of 

Hitler's war against the 

Jews, reads in his local 

paper that a Jewish woman 

from Winnipeg, Esther 

Persky, was killed suddenly 

by a drunken driver, Chris 

Immler, in thé state of 

Wyoming as she and her husband 

were driving south 

on vacation. Immler gets 

fined 250 dollars and has 

his driver's license suspended 

for one year -- 

of her youth while her sister 

Esther, clung to traditional 

values until the 

moment of her tragic, 

untimely death. 

Langner Zeitlin switches 

from facts about drunken 

driving to the abstract as 

she suggests that despite 

statistics or perhaps because 

of them, only Hyman 

Ehrlich can be the judge of 

Esther's cruel fate. 

Ehrlich explains that no 

burden is greater than the 

guilt of a survivor. He 

lapses into the story of 

his brother, Manny, murdered 

in Auschwitz: "One 

of us had to be spared to 

witness: "His theory and

The Priest's Boy 

a book to cherish 

THE PRIEST'S BOY 

BY CLIVE DOUCET, Black Moss 

Press, 1992 

104 pages, $14.95 (paper) 

BY CHARLES DE LINT 

When Clive Doucet was 

growing up in his native 

Cape Breton, his grandfather 

used to tell him 

stories of what it was 

like in the old days. Some 

of these reminiscences have 

already appeared in Doucet's 

memoir, My Grandfather's 

Cape Breton (McCraw-Hill 

Ryerson, 1980), but the 

material left such an impression 

on him that he 

decided to return to it 

again, this time in a fictional 

setting. 

That decision is our good 

fortune. 

Perhaps it's obvious to 

state that 1937 in the Maritimes 

was an entirely 

different world from the one 

we know today. There was 

no television, no real 

global awareness - something 

which is easy to forget 

for those of us growing up 

in the latter part of this 

century when news from across 

the world arrives 

daily into our homes via 

newspapers, radio, and the 

ever-present TV set. 

The close-knit communities 

of the '30s lived at 

a different pace; their 

concerns -- while universal--were 

more insular, 

though no less rich. This 

was a time when neighbours 

spoke to each other, when 

everyone knew everyone 

else's business - a situation 

fraught with the 

potential for both great 

good and harm as Doucet so 

Author Clive Doucet 

eloquently portrays in the 

pages of this short novel. 

Ostensibly, and certainly 

one might assume from its 

title, The Piest's Boy 

is about how young Daniel 

Boudreau came to live with 

the parish priest of the 

mnall Cape Breton village 

of St. Joseph de la Mer. 

Coming from a large, poor 

family, the tutelage of 

Father Aucoin allows Daniel 

his one chance to make 

more of his life than he 

might otherwise have. The 

decision is a hard one for 

his father to make, but he 

makes it with his son's 

best interests at heart. 

Daniel, however, is more 

concerned with the secular 

world than the religious 

and he finds the priest's 

house confining. His dissatisfaction 

with his 

new life, and the reactions 

of the various villagers 

to his position and some of 

his shenanigans are the 

thread that ties together 

the stories of the various 

characters we meet in the 

novel's pages. 

Photo: Zak Patterson 

But Daniel, for all that 

he is the catalyst for much 

of what takes place in 

The Priest's Boy, does 

not really provide the 

novel's overriding theme. 

That belongs to the relationship 

between Father 

Aucoin and his cousin 

Philibert, the village 

matchmaker, drunk and general 

gadabout. Everything 

else adds to and builds 

upon illuminating this relationship, 

from the 

village which is almost a 

character in itself to 

Daniel's story, to all the 

other villagers whose 

lives Doucet chooses to 

explore: wise Grandfather, 

the horse trader, the miser 

Jean a Basile, the innocent 

storyteller Dulcine 

Leblanc who becomes ostracized 

as a witch and 

so many more. 

The Priest's Boy is at 

once an historical view of 

the times, a fascinating 

character study, and an 

insightful exploration into 

the choices one makes and 

the ramifications those 

choices will have, not 

simply upon yourself, but 

on those around you. Though 

the setting is fifty years 

in the past, Doucet's 

take on the human condition 

is timeless and has as 

much relevance to us in the 

modern world as it did to 

the villagers of St. Joseph 

de la Mer during that year 

that Daniel Boudreau was 

the priest's boy. 

That Doucet's prose is 

such a delight to read, that 

he moves so easily between 

humour and serious concerns, 

that his love of his boyhood 

home and its strengths and 

weaknesses are communicated 

so seemingly effortlessly 

to his readers, are what 

makes The .Piest's Boy so 

much more than simply a quaint 

view of the past. Rather, 

they make of it a novel 

that one will cherish and 

re-read many times in the 

years to come. 

Charles de Lint is an 

Ottoda writer. His Zatest 

novel is Spiritwalk from Tor 

Books, set in the Glebe as 

was an earZier novel, 

Moonheart. 

* * * * * 

A book launch for The 

Priest's Boy was held at 

Octopus Books, 798 Bank St. 

on May 6th. Many came out 

to meet Clive Doucet, hear 

him read from the book, and 

to buy signed copies afterward. 

Other fiction by Clive 

Doucet includes, Disneyland 

Please, John Coe's War, The 

Gospel According to Mary 

Magdelene. Before Star 

Wars is a book of poetry.

OBSERVATION POST 

The music of Alexina Louie 

BY COURTNEY BOND 

Alexina Louie was born 

on the West Coast, in Vancover 

in 1949. Her background 

is Chinese; she is 

a third generation Canadian. 

Her parents come from 

Guangdon Province, south 

of Canton. Her first formal 

training in composition 

was at the University of 

British Columbia under 

Cortland Hultberg, whom 

she describes as "more of 

a teacher than a composer, 

but a very fine teacher." 

Her graduate work was 

under Pauline Oliveros 

and Robert Erickson and 

she received a Master's 

degree in composition at 

the University of California 

at San Diego. After 

returning to Canada in 1980 

she has been commissioned 

by our leading new music 

groups, leading soloists 

and ensembles. She won the 

Canadian Music Council's 

award Composer of the Year 

in 1986. Alexina Louie 

spoke about her music in 

Ottawa at the National 

Library on April 13. 

There she described facing 

composition after graduating. 

It was a No Man's 

Land. She asked herself 

"What would make my music 

unique?" Her family was 

still traditional. She realized, 

"I am unique. A 

door opened. A voice. I 

had to search out my oriental 

roots." 

(Observation Post interviewed 

Ms. Louie, in Toronto 

in March. The following are 

her responses in that interview. 

Interviewers comments 

are bracketed). 

"After your formal training 

there's a difficult 

period when you have to 

develop your own personal 

musical language. There's 


a period when you have to 

gather your tools, when 

you have to find yourself. 

During that time I began 

to draw on my oriental 

roots and I read oriental 

philosophy, began to collect 

oriental poetry, studied 

an oriental language, 

listened to oriental music 

and I specifically attempted 

to make my music rather 

oriental, that iS, my musical 

voice began to utilize 

the roots that I had found. 

So for the next few years 

I was trying to integrate 

these things in my own 

personal way. Once past 

that stage, the music began 

to take a more universal 

point of view. 

"Coming up in September 

there will be two performances 

of one of my typical 

pieces which is called, 0 

Magnum Mysterium: In Memoriam 

Glenn Gould. It is 

very pivotal, one of my 

most important works, one 

that hasn't been recorded 

and which I think should be 

recorded. It's a very personal 

piece. This is the 

tenth anniversary of Gould's 

death. In Toronto there's 

going to be a huge international 

programme with the 

Toronto Symphony. 

"Other exciting things 

are happening. My big orchestral 

piece, Music for 

Heaven and Earth, will be 

played by the Vancouver 

Symphony, with Maestro 

Akiyama conducting. I wrote 

this for the Toronto Symphony 

two years ago. It was 

taken on a tour of the 

Pacific Rim, to Singapore, 

Taipei, Japan. I went 

along too. It runs about 

22 minutes, is in five sections. 

The beginning is an 

evocation, for the most 

part influenced by Japanese 

court music, Gagaku. It 

starts with the sound of 

the orient. This is because 

the piece was for the 

Orient. The second section 

is a call, a summons, based 

on Peking Opera, with 

those percussion instruments, 

very jarring (bender 

gongs). This is the piece 

I'm going to be talking 

about most of my time. It's 

huge, a very big undertaking. 

It starts from a very personal 

point of view and 

ends on a universal theme. 

"In Halifax from May 28 

to June 7 there is the Nova 

Scotia Festival. Pierre 

Boulez was composer-inresidence 

last year. This 

year it will be me. (When 

Boulez conducted in Ottawa 

last year, barely 400 came). 

There should have been 400 

from each of the universities. 

In Halifax the artistic 

director is Christopher 

Wilcox, a Canadian. Ten 

of my solo chamber works 

will be performed by great 

musicians. This festival 

is most important. Musicians, 

come up from New York and 

from other great orchestras 

like Cleveland. There will 

also be some musicians from 

Toronto and from the National 

Arts Centre. It is 

wonderful for the people 

of Nova Scotia -- and for 

their economy. 

A .!A 

"There's a small handful Canadian Composer Alexina Louie 

of us that earn our living 

composing. Many of my 

colleagues teach. Younger 

composers are forced into 

doing other work. Many 

copy music; some have daytime 

jobs, work in music 

libraries. Your imagination, 

your attention, your creativity, 

are diverted from 

hundred percent concentration,...you 

lose that 

full commitment and that 

makes it very difficult. 

My own thinking is, that 

for many of us who are very 

talented, if we can think 

about writing music, dream 

about it, or if we can work 

(steadily) at our craft, 

then how much more could 

we create: (She works 

seven days a week for very 

long hours; her only 

leisure comes occasionally 

when there's less pressure.) 

It's a tough job. I'm not 

as prolific as some, but 

I don't have the time to 

agonize over a blank 

page, because I write 

music for a living and I 

have deadlines constantly 

before me. 

"One has to wait until 

one is dead -- and then 

they'll say, "0, this person 

has a wealth of music, 

and nobody knew it!" Then 

they'll resurrect a piece 

and say, "It's a universal 

problem!" 

(We spoke about the need, 

in terms of contacts, for 

a composer to live in a 

large important city, and 

of what drives a musician). 

"I've never followed any 

particular formal religion. 

I do put a lot of effort 

into speaking from the human 

heart. Music is not only 

the language of the heart, 

but also of the intellect. 

You must find a balance 

between both of them. Music 

only of the intellect is 

has got to have form and 

shape in order for the language 

to be true. Otherwise 

it becomes just an amorphous 

mass. You lose your 

way. 

"My music in the last 

while has been involved 

with nature, heavens and 

the earth. The first was a 

commission from the Toronto 

Symphony, "The Eternal 

Earth". Then, for the Vancouver 

Chamber Choir, "Love 

Songs for a Small Planet" 

for choir and percussion. 

The poems are from indigenous 

people, Africa and the 

Pacific. The poems are 

in English. (She writes 

music exquisitely, in beautiful 

penmanship, not like 

Beethoven's notes, not like 

Mozart's scribbles that we 

saw in Amadeus.) 

"The next major work was 

'Music for Heaven and Earth.' 

This is on several levels. 

The first is most overt. 

The second level is really 

about what it takes to be 

an artist. "0 Magnum Mysterium..." 

is first, my 

reaction to Gould's premature 

death. He put so much 

into his music -- and he 

died. This made me think 

deeply on what it takes 

to be an artist: what makes 

you continue in the face 

of the world's hostility. 

On the second level it has 

to do with the pain, the 

trials of an artist. It 

also deals with the wonder 

and the joy of being an 

artist. I work through 

the negative feelings. The 

end is a confirmation of 

the joy of living, of 

living an artist's life. 

The reward is the joy, the 

wonder of creation."

KubKar rally for area cubs 

BY DIANNE MERRITT 

The annual KubKar rally 

for the Chaudiere area cubs 

was held on Saturday March 

28 at Glebe-St. James 

Church. Over 130 boys attended 

this event, to 

everybody's delight. It 

was a huge success. 

Back in January the boys 

were given a "KubKar" kit 

which consisted of a seven 

inch block of wood, four 

4Wheels, and four axles. 

Their next assignment was 

to build a car suitable for 

racing down a 36 foot track. 

The boys also had the opportunity 

to build a second 

care to enter the design 

category. 

After three hours of racing, 

Jordan Buck walked 

away with the first place 

trophy. Gregory Coutts won 

the first place trophy for 

the design category. 

After the boys finished 

their racing, it was the 

leaders turn. Our assignment 

was to use a KubKar 

Kit and make a racing 

vehicle that did not look 

like a car. 

Dianne Merritt's "toilet 

paper" mobile beat Greg 

Merritt's "enterprise" 

only by inches. It was the 

first time in Scouting 

History that a married 

couple made it to the finals. 

On behalf of the 36th 

Ottawa Cub Pack we would 

like to take this opportunity 

to thank the parents 

who volunteered their time 

and equipment to photograph 

and video tape the rally. 

We would also like to thank 

our sponsors for their 

prize contributions: St. 

Hubert, Mexicali Rosa's, 

O'Tooles, Glendale Skating 

Rink (c/o Dudleigh Coyle), 

Dianne's Loving Day Care,

Special thanks go to the

who ran the canteen during 

the rally.

Glebe Collegiate 

situents go to Canada-Wide Science Fair 

BY WARREN R. SIRRS 

For the third successive 

year, Glebe Collegiate Institute 

will be represented 

at the Canada-Wide Science 

Fair - this time by Mai 

Nguyen and Jamie Wells for 

their award-winning presentation 

"Membrane Technology" 

at the recently held 

Ottawa Regional Science 

Fair. Mai and Jamie were 

also awarded first place in 

the Senior Physical Science 

category at the O.R.S.F.; 

according to one of the 

Hopewell P.S. 

"Respect" conference 

BY ROSEMARY GEDDES 

If you went to Sunday 

School as a child you would 

have learned the Golden 

Rule: "Do unto others as 

you would have them do 

unto you." Today we might 

put it this way: "Treat 

other people the way you 

want to be treated." 

This all boils down to respect 

for ourselves and 

for others. 

In an effort to promote 

and encourage respect at 

school, Hopewell held a 

conference on April 16 for 

grade 7 and 8 students on 

this very subject. It was 

a day devoted to exploring 

interpersonal relationships 

and ways to improve them. 

The day began with a keynote 

address by Dan Wise- 

man, Chief of Social Services. 

He is very involved 

in issues of family 

violence, violence in the 

schools, and the negative 

influence of the media. 

There followed a presentation 

by four panelists. 

Jennifer Blischen, a lawyer 

and Hopewell parent, 

spoke on the rights and 

obligations of children 

in the 90's. Constable Stan 

Mott, Hopewell's School 

Resource Officer, dealt 

with the topic of violent 

and aggressive behaviour. 

The Superintendent of Curriculum 

Services, Ann Jones 

spoke on gender and racial 

equality, and'Peter Evertt, 

Vice-Principal of Ridgemont 

High School, explained 

the concept of peer mediation 

as a school strategy 

for conflict resolution. 

Following these presentations, 

the students broke

session was held during 

which each group reported 

back on the results of their 

discussions. Some of the 

questions they dealt with 

included: What is respect? 

Do you feel safe and respected 

at Hopewell? How 

do you handle your major 

concerns? How does it feel 

to be a victim? How should 

we deal with victimization? 

The students went on 

to identify strategies 

that would help promote an 

atmosphere of respect at 

school. 

During the last period 

of this very busy and intensive 

day, the students 

went back to their home 

room for a final discussion 

around personal 

objectives regarding respect. 

It is through experiences 

like this conference that 

our children truly become 

aware of the problems 

in society and their role 

in them. By involving them 

in the process of identifying 

problems and developing 

helpful strategies, 

they arrive at 

a sense of empowerment 

and responsibility. That 

is how real change comes 

about. 

Sincerest thanks to Vice 

Principal, Susan Nouvet, 

for organizing this day. 

Hopefully this conference 

will be the first of many.

SCHOOL NEWS 

Lady Evelyn School News 

BY MARTHA BOWERS 

These are not carefree, 

spring days at the schools 

in the O.B.E. system, 

particularly for Lady Evelyn. 

While we were not directly 

involved with the secondary 

school teachers' strike, 

we are seriously affected 

by the drastic budget 

cuts, specifically the 

teacher cuts. We are in 

grave danger of losing 85% 

of our current Lady Evelyn 

staff, more than any other 

school in the system, because 

most of our teachers 

are new and non-tenured: 

This disproportionate firing 

must be modified so 

that no one school is so 

adversely affected. In response 

to this draconian 

measure, a committed 

group of Lady Evelyn parents 

and staff has been 

mobilized to lobby trustees, 

the director of education 

and even the provincial 

minister. Unfortunately, 

this effort has taken a 

lot of time and energy that 

we had hoped to put towards

CHURCH NEWS 

Ottawa Innercity Ministries 

BY REV. D.S. KENNEY 

"The Kingdom of heaven is 

like a net that was thrown 

into the sea and caught fish 

of every kind". (Matthew 

13:47) 

Susan Brandt and Katrine 

Coward spend their days 

seeking the people that our 

mainline churches have long 

ago forgotten. Much of 

their time is spent on the 

downtown streets of Ottawa, 

in the coffee-shops and in 

the parks as a mobile Christian 

presence, offering 

practical and pastoral 

advice and a non-threatening 

environment. 

It is difficult for 

many of us to consider our 

church buildings to be 

threatening but to many 

people they are. It is'this 

sense of avoidance that was 

the spark for Ottawa 

Innercity Ministries. This 

sense linked with a profound 

faith in God's call. 

The ministry began in a 

rather unexpected manner. 

Susan was coordinator of 

Centre 507, a drop-in place 

,on Bank street in 1986. 

Katrine joined her in 

1987. Although the work of 

counselling and care was 

going well, Susan realized 

"there was the need for a 

Christian presence on the 

streets because many people 

would not enter any building". 

Such is the fear of 

street people for the "institution". 

Both women believed 

that God was calling 

them to a new ministry 

and so resigned from Centre 

507 in 1988. 

There was no idea at 

first where funding would 

come from. Nevertheless 

the potential to serve 

God in the streets was 

there. As Katrine says, 

"With the rapport of many 

street people already in 

place from drop-in centre 

contacts, we expected that 

we could be introduced to 

the wider street scene". 

The vision was presented 

to friends in the community. 

Fourteen people from fourteen 

congregations attended 

the inaugural meeting of 

Ottawa Innercity Ministries. 

Today people from over 20 

congregations represent 

an inter-church grassroots 

flavoured support to the 

ministry. As well as funding, 

congregations provide 

such needs as prayer, per- 

corders for those who cannot 

read, first aid supplies 

for Susan, a registered 

nurse, are donated. 

The ministry relies on 

churches in the community. 

As Susan says, "If no one 

donates bandages then there 

are no bandages". 

The style of ministry 

is one-on-one, relational, 

even in what seem to be 

group settings. It is a 

practical, spiritual longterm 

relationship style 

which includes advocacy, 

health and literacy in its 

concerns. Yet street life 

resists settlement and 

long term residency. Both 

women agreed that "the 

only certainties on the 

street are change and instability". 

Because of this 

the ministry has moved to 

provide a free health and 

addiction counselling 

clinic and a "safe house" 

to meet people's needs. 

Susan runs the clinic on 

Thursdays at the Union 

Mission for Men. Another 

member of the Ministry, 

Ray Desmarais, has organized 

the Disciples' Coffee 

House, operating Friday 

evenings at 78 Nelson St. 

Coffee, food and musical 

entertainment are donated 

by friends of this very 

popular coffee house. 

Recognizing the widespread 

illiteracy amongst 

street people Katrine has 

devoted a great deal of 

effort, in conjunction 

with St. Joseph's Church 

and People Words and Change, 

to address this problem. 

But she reminds us that 

their ministry gets into 

a "project" only when the 

needs of the street push 

hard enough. The Ministry 

is still basically to those 

who fear institutions, 

buildings and churches, 

those whose home is the 

street. 

Who are the street people? 

Susan and Katrine describe 

them as mainly male, an 

increasing number of 

youth, addicts, gang members, 

prostitutes, refugees 

and the vulnerable discharges 

from psychiatric 

institutions. The majority 

disclose childhood sexual 

abuse. Their problems come 

from all directions. Violence 

racism and addiction are 

everyday events on the street 

Katrine tells that this 

ministry is most necessary 

sonal support, photocopying, for "there is a deep sense 

parking and one Centre- of the spiritual amongst 

town church has donated the street folk because they 

some office space. Items are living at a very raw 

for clients; cassette re- level of need." Both women 


believe that God has called 

them to be a spark of hope. 

Hope that comes from the 

contact of caring people and 

the certain hope that comes 

from contact with God. 

Susan and Katrine speak to 

high school groups, church 

groups, or wherever there 

is interest. They will speak 

to your group. This ministry 

receives no public funding. 

It is supported, by choice, 

through the faith and generosity 

of congregations as 

a mission and incorporated 

charitable organization.

As you can see from the request list, there is still 

time to come to the library for books on gardening and 

home improvements. Since these materials will become 

high demand items as the long weekend approaches, we 

suggest that you place your requests early. 

CHILDREN'S SECTION 

We are thrilled to announce that Paulette Bourgeois, 

the well-known Canadian author of Franklin in the Dark, 

Big Sarah's Little Boots, The Amazing Apple Book and many 

more wonderful titles, will be reading from her favourite 

books at our branch on Saturday May 16 at 2:00 p.m. 

The event is sponsored by Puggwash Books. The author's 

books will be available to borrow from the library, or 

to purchase from Puggwash. Paulette will be delighted to 

answer questions and sign autographs at the end of the 

reading. Since space is limited we ask that you pre-register 

for this exciting event which will be geared to 

the interests of children ages 4 to 8. 

Our regular children's programmes include the following: 

BABES IN THE LIBRARY; music, rhymes and books for babies 

from birth to 18 months. Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. May 21 

to June 18. Pre-registration starts May 7. 

TIME FOR TWOS; stories and films for two-year-olds. 

Mondays at 9:30 a.m. May 25 to June 22. Pre-registration 

starts May 11. 

STORYTIME for 3 to 5-year-olds. Mondays at 10:30 a.m.

required for Wednesdays only. 

SATURDAY STORIES AND FILMS for 4 to 7-year-olds 10:30 a.m. 

from May 2 to June 27. 

16 mm films dropped 

Effective September 1, /92 

the Ottawa Public Library 

will no longer lend 16mm 

films. The past few years 

have seen a decrease in the 

use of 16 mm films as more 

people turn to borrowing 

videos from the Library. 

This trend, coupled with 

the problem of finding 

suitable titles in 16mm 

format, convinced the Lib-

includes children's videos, 

is kept in the Audiovisual

you to borrow six VHS videocassettes

of charge.
