Walkley ramp 

postponed 

BY SUSAN JERMYN 

Construction of a southbound 

off-ramp from the Airport Parkway 

to Walkley Road has been 

delayed by a decision of the 

city's transportation and transit 

committee Sept. 5. 

Strong objections from residents, 

including Glebe residents, 

and a forceful presentation by 

airport spokesman Paul Benoit 

persuaded committee members to 

wait until the city's master 

transportation plan is completed. 

The committee passed Coun. 

Clive Doucet's motion for more 

study on traffic patterns on the 

Parkway and roads in the south 

end of Ottawa. 

Construction of the Walkley 

off-ramp is unlikely to be 

brought before the transportation 

conunittee for discussion for another 

18 months. 

The recommendations of the 

transportation and transit committee 

were to be considered by 

full council Wed., Sept. 12. 

More than 50 Glebe residents 

joined the City Centre Coalition, 

community associations and local 

politicians at the corner of Bronson 

and Holmwood, Sept. 4 to 

protest building the Walldey offramp. 

Waving signs that read Stop 

The Bronson Expressway and No 

More Ramps, the demonstrators 

Glebe residents protest the Walkley off-ramp at a demonstration 

organized by the City Centre Coalition. Photos: Susan Jermyn 

protested the ramp that Cam Robertson 

of the Dow's Lake area 

called "one more step in the 

creation of a commuter expressway 

on Bronson." He said that the 

ramp would increase the number 

of cars using Bronson Avenue and 

other residential streets in the 

Glebe and Dow's Lake areas. 

David Gladstone, chair of the 

City Centre Coalition, made the 

point that transit, preferably 

light rail, should meet peak 

transportation demand. The coalition 

has also asked for a more 

comprehensive environmental assessment 

of the Walkley-Parkway 

interchange (an individual environmental 

assessment rather than 

a class environmental assessment). 

Plans submitted to the transportation 

committee by Neil 

Stout, senior project manager, 

proposed building a single lane 

southbound off-ramp from the 

Airport Parkway that would 

widen to two lanes at Walkley 

Road. The off-ramp intersection 

with Walkley Road would provide 

one lane each for left turns and 

right turns and would have the 

necessary signal lights and illumination.

High school 

extra-curriculars 

should resume 

The Ontario Secondary School 

Teachers' Federation has reached 

an agreement with the province on 

staffing and teachers' workload. 

Since time in the classroom 

has been reduced to 6.25 periods 

per day from 6.67 periods, teachers 

will have the time to do extracurriculars. 

As Lynn Graham says on page 

23, "there is every expectation 

that extra-curricular activities 

will now fully resume." 

Last year, secondary school 

teachers refused to run extracurriculars 

because of the 6.67 

period workload. The only extracurricular 

activities taking place 

in Ottawa high schools, such as 

hockey, rowing, clubs, etc., were 

those led by parent volunteers. 

Glebe Collegiate was one of the 

lucky few to have an extensive 

range of extra-curriculars for its 

students. 

The workload agreement means 

that the average high school class 

size will increase from 21 to 22 

students.

GLEBE TRAFFIC PLAN 

Public Information 

Meeting 

October 23 

Glebe Community Centre 

The Glebe traffic plan was 

published in the August 

Glebe Report It is also 

available on a local Web site 

www.theglebeonline.com. 

Printed copies are 

available at the Glebe 

Community Centre, 690 Lyon. 

Brad Christakos says the 

traffic committee has received 

several comments on the plan 

and welcomes more. 

0-Train delayed 

The 0-Train has not yet left 

the station. 

The launch of the light rail 

transit system planned for Sept. 4 

at Carleton, has been postponed 

for four to six weeks. 

"Some construction and technical 

delays caused problems," 

said an OC Transpo spokesperson. 

"Until the problems get sorted 

out, we won't open the line." 

Not all the construction was 

completed on time. Without the 

completion of construction, OC 

Transpo was not able to train the 

staff adequately. 

OC Transpo says it aims to 

launch the light rail service 

sometime in October.

Glebe Report September 14, 2001 2 

Make sure you're dealing with an Ontario registered travel agency when 

you plan your next trip. 

Consumer Beat 

Travel services online 

Would you like to spend a couple 

of weeks at a fabulous northern 

Ontario resort? How about 

taking a family vacation? You can 

do all that and more with a click 

of a mouse because more and more 

travel agencies are doing business 

online. But what happens 

when you suddenly have to cancel 

your trip? What are your rights 

when you're buying online? 

The Internet is quickly becoming 

a viable marketing tool for 

businesses, while many consumers 

say they benefit equally from 

having the marketplace at their 

fingertips. Online travel agencies 

may offer everything from flight 

schedules to seat sales to special- 

-interest tours and accommodations. 

Fortunately, consumers 

who deal with Ontario-registered 

travel agencies are protected by 

the Travel Industry Act, regardless 

of whether the agency operates 

online or not 

The Travel Industry Council of 

Ontario (TICO) is responsible for 

administering the Travel Industry 

Act. Under the Act, regulated 

agents are required to follow 

strict guidelines for all Ontarioregistered 

travel agencies and 

tour wholesalers who deal with 

Ontario-registered travel agents. 

TICO is a not-for-profit organization 

that supports the Ministry 

of Consumer and Business Services' 

efforts to maintain consumer 

confidence in travel purchases by 

handling complaints against Ontario-registered 

travel agents and 

travel wholesalers. 

All Ontario travel agencies 

and wholesalers are required to 

register with TICO and participate 

in a compensation fund developed 

to protect consumers. 

The compensation fund is aimed 

at consumers who paid for, but 

did not receive, travel services 

due to bankruptcy or insolvency. 

Consumers may be reimbursed for 

up to $3,500 per passenger and a 

maximum of $5 million per event. 

For example, if you pay for a 

trip and end up not going because 

the registered travel agency you 

bought the package from goes out 

of business, you are entitled to a 

refund. TICO steps in and ensures 

that you get your money back. 

However, TICO does not have 

the authority to settle a dispute, 

impose a settlement or act as an 

arbitrator in any complaint matter. 

Also, TICO does not address a 

complaint until the consumer has 

contacted the travel agent or 

wholesaler and tried to solve the 

problem first 

ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCIES 

The Internet is a great source 

of information any time of the day 

or night, seven days a week. If 

you don't know exactly what 

you're looking for and who to address 

questions to, conducting a 

little Internet research can be an 

effective starting point. In terms 

of travej agencies online, ifs a 

great way to find out what's available 

and how much it will cost 

You can check hundreds of options 

when you're browsing on- 

line 

for the perfect vacation. 

Once you've determined what you 

want, make sure the supplier provides 

a copy of the invoice either 

in writing or electronically. Save 

or print it for your records. The 

invoice or receipt should include: 

the customer's name and address 

the booking date 

the amount paid, payment date 

and balance owing if you're paying 

in installments 

'the business name, address and 

telephone number 

the name of the person providing 

the travel services (if known) 

the destination 

the date of departure 

a brief description of the travel 

services purchased 

the serial number of the receipt 

'whether the customer wants in 

purchase trip-cancellation insurance 

or not 

Online travel agencies are 

probably most useful for learning 

about the destination, its climate 

and main attractions, and generally 

whafs happening there with 

respect to theatres, sports teams 

and transportation. Flight schedules 

and seating charts can be 

found at many travel Web sites. 

Users may perform online 

searches based on preferred 

travel times and even pre-select 

seats. Some travel Web sites offer 

discounts like low airfare prices, 

last-minute bargains and discounted 

consolidator air tickets. 

Internet surfers would be more 

likely to suffer information 

overload than to find scant information 

on their destinations. 

QUALITY ASSURANCE 

TICO encourages registered 

businesses to display the TICO 

logo--ensuring quality and high 

standardson their Web sites. 

Although this measure is not legally 

required, it is strongly encouraged 

so that Ontario consumers 

know they are protected. 

For more information on the 

TICO logo program, visit their 

Web site at www.tico.on.ca. To

Have you seen 

A family from Guelph is still 

looking for its dog Minni who 

went missing in Ottawa, July 25; 

they are offering a $500 reward 

for her return. 

Judy Keleher writes that 

Minni got loose in Windsor Park, 

off Riverdale in Old Ottawa South. 

Her son's housemate had taken 

her to the park using a shoelace 

as a lead. 

DESCRIPTION 

Minni is a Jack Russell/corgi 

mix, black, brown and white. The 

21-2-year-old dog was wearing a 

collar. 

Found - Pokemon cards 

A small collection of Digimon 

and Pokemon cards have been 

found by Emmet near Holmwood 

Avenue and Ralph Street. 

There are one or two cards that 

he covets, but, being the good 

our dog? 

The dog has no tail. She is 

black on the top of her head and 

back. Her ears are brown with a 

bit of black. She has a white line 

down her face and around her 

neck. 

Chest and front legs are white. 

She weighs about 20 pounds. 

Minni is very friendly. Her 

family misses her very much. 

"We would love to have her 

come home, but we need the people 

of Ottawa to help us," writes 

Judy.

Restless nights in the Glebe 

BY BOB BROCKLEBANK 

"Don't move! There is a gun 

pointed at you! Do you understand?" 

At first I thought it was another 

nightmare in which my wife 

had gone berserk. But as I awoke, 

I realized the voice was real. In 

near-total darkness in the mid- 

August night, I lay there rigid, 

obeying the command not to move. 

I realized that my wife's rhythmic 

breathing had stopped; she, 

too, was listening for further instructions. 

The words were repeated, very 

clearly, by what seemed to be a 

determined young woman. But now 

it was evident that the person 

spealcing was not in the room but 

rather outside. We were hearing 

this through the open windows in 

our bedroom. 

I wondered if this was our 

neighbours involved in some kind 

of struggle. There had never been 

anything like this before. I didn't 

think they had firearms. Then I 

remembered that the wife was not 

there she was traveling. Anyway 

the voice didn't sound quite 

like hers. 

Fumbling for my glasses, I s 

lently got from the bed and crept 

to the windows. 

Peering through the blinds my 

wife and I saw a bright flashlight 

coming around the house from the 

driveway. 

The light progressed to the 

steps leading up to our deck immediately 

below the bedroom 

windows. 

"Pm armsting you for break 

and enter. Anything you say can 

be used against you. What are you

doing lying here? Do you live 

here?" 

Then there seemed to be other 

flashlights moving about and we 

could see that there was light 

streaming down the driveway at 

an unexpected angle. 

Without turning on any lights 

in the house, we crept to front 

windows and looked out onto the 

street. 

Three police cars were there, 

one with a bright light on its roof 

shining down the driveway. A 

small group of people emerged 

from the driveway and sped off in 

one of the police cars. We could 

overhear the police radio in one 

of the cars say something about a 

bicycle. One officer came down 

the street with a white bicycle 

which he put in the back seat of 

his car. Then the remaining police 

cars quietly departed. 

It was hard to get back to 

sleep. My wife and I speculated 

about what exactly had happened. 

Next day, there was nothing in 

the newspaper about any incident 

So to satisfy our curiosity 

we had recourse to a good source 

of local news, chatting with Bank 

Street merchants. (The second 

best source after reading the 

Glebe Report.) Yes there had been 

someone who had broken into a 

shop nearby. 

Apparently the thief had difficulty 

making his escape after 

triggering alarms. 

The moral of the story would 

seem to be that if you don't want 

to stumble on the Ottawa Police 

quietly and efficiently doing 

their job in the middle of the 

night, sleep in stuffy rooms with 

your windows shut

Send us your news 

Send us your news. The Glebe Report is always looking 

for stories. As the late Barbara Frum of the CBC's As It Happens 

wrote: The program is like "a ravenous monster who 

every night must be served up 16 virgin story ideas." 

The Glebe Report also has an appetite for neighbourhood 

news. We are always delighted when some of you send 

us such stories as the Adelaide Street party, Restless Nights 

in the Glebe and restaurant reviews. And comments on 

more serious topics such as the Glebe traffic plan will always 

find a place on a Glebe Report page. 

Send us your photos, stories, comments and reviews to 

our office at the Glebe Community Centre, 690 Lyon St. S. 

Our address seems to be known across the country, 

judging from some of the stories we've received lately. Stories? 

Press releases, rather. You would not believe what 

Canada Post delivers to our mailbox. Both commercial and 

not-for-profit enterprises spend a fortune mailing glossy 

brochures describing their products and causes. Some are 

even delivered by courier. 

There was the 40-page booklet about how to grill pizza 

on the barbecue, the Do-It-Yourself Times from a hardware 

store and a report on shock absorbers. 

We've received press releases and moremany go beyond 

the typical press package of information. The Canadian 

Space Agency sent us a video about Canadarm 2. Slides 

came with information about cruises in the Gulf of Mexico. 

A whole slew of credit card applications, annual reports 

and telecommunications plans come to us as they do 

to all of us with a postal address. That's why we have recycling 

boxes, isn't it? 

But the press package that really got our attention and 

made our jaw drop, in the category of Did We Really Need 

Technology To Do This?, was a gift bag from a group advertising 

golf lessons for women executives. Along with 

the press release came special golf balls that had been irradiated 

by MDS Nordion with cobalt-60. They tell us that 

this treatment changes the ball's latex core to make it 

travel farther. Yes, it got our attention, but we didn't use 

the story. 

All we want is your neighbourhood news, comments 

and photos, especially photos. You can keep the golf balls.

Response to the 2001 

Glebe traffic plan 

BY JOHN LEANING 

The Glebe Community Association 

and the city have just 

completed their 2001 study of 

Glebe traffic, and have made proposais 

which are sound and sensible. 

One can only hope that they 

will be carried out in full. In the 

early '70s, when the last traffic 

plan was made, only a small part 

of it was actually carried outthat 

is often the fate of community 

plans after they run the gamut of 

the democratic and bureaucratic 

process, and the anti-action lobbies 

have taken their toll. In consequence, 

the Glebe, although it 

had one of the earliest traffic 

calming plans in the country, now 

has far less calming features 

than, say, Centretown, Sandy Hill 

or Lowertown, whilst suffering at 

least as great or greater traffic 

originating externally. 

In order to effectively limit 

traffic on residential streets, 

they have to visibly change their 

character and appearance. Thanks

Organic market relocates 

Editor, Glebe Repor4 

In conversation recently with 

Ms. Debbie DeCooman, a certified 

organic farmer who participated 

in the Glebe Organic Market, I 

was told that the market drew a 

good crowd on only two occasions: 

opening day and during the Great 

Glebe Garage Sale. 

For that reason, Ms. DeCoornan 

and the other farmers who participated 

in the market felt that 

in order to remain profitable, it

Open 

to the road builders of the early 

part of the 20th century, we are 

left with a legacy of asphalt and 

concrete that covers 20 per cent 

of inner urban landscape in the 

form of potentially fast threelane 

highways that attract outer 

suburban drivers and contribute 

greatly to the degradation of the 

inner town living environment 

In West Vancouver in the early 

'70s, they got it right, putting 

gardens, trees and bushes in the 

roadways themselves so that drivers 

clearly got the idea. This was 

suggested for the Glebe, but carried 

out only on Clemow Avenue 

at Douglas Fullerton's instigation. 

The rest of the area got a 

very half-hearted treatment and 

now, with the pressure of external 

traffic, it is failing. Now I 

believe that public opinion has 

changed so that the requirements 

of cars, trucks and snow-removal 

equipment no longer dominate our 

actions. 

would be necessary to return to 

the main organic farmers' market. 

The main market is located at the 

Parsifal School at Bank Street and 

Heron Road behind the Canadian 

Tire store and down the road. 

The market is held each Saturday 

between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., 

and Ms. DeCooman and her colleagues 

look forward to seeing 

you there.

FORUM 


An open letter 

to the traffic committee 

Holmwood Avenue resident 

Leigh Thorpe sent a letter of 

comments to the GCA traffic 

committee which she shared with 

the Glebe Report 

"'Thanks to the conunittee and 

all those volunteering. This 

achievement is a tremendous 

example of how community effort 

can be focused on the problem at 

hand." 

She notes that the proposals 

look quite workable overall, 

however she questions some 

measures that she feels will have 

a negative impact on cyclists. 

"The recommended turning 

prohibitions (no east-bound 

turns off Bronson except at 

Chamberlain during a.m. peak) 

should exclude bicycles." 

Stop signs are 

annoying... 7) 

In an interview with the Glebe 

Report she adds, "Let's be 

careful. I'm not convinced that 

more stop signs are needed!" Stop 

signs are annoying and contribute 

to pollution and traffic 

congestion and make cycling more 

difficult, says Thorpe. 

Reducing the speed limit on 

Bronson approaching the Glebe is 

an excellent idea, she says, 

however, there is no need to 

reduce the speed on Bronson to 40 

km-h. "Tell them the speed and 

tell them the fine, too." 

Modify the lanes on the 

Bronson Bridge with a barrier to 

define a bicycle lane, suggests 

Thorpe. 

She questions the proposal to 

add a traffic signal at Findlay 

and Bronson. "Since you also 

suggest a right turn prohibition 

at Findlay during rush hour, it is 

perhaps superfluous." 

'Thorpe also believes that the 

traffic signals at Bronson and the 

Queensway add to the backup of 

traffic along Bronson during peak 

times and make drivers look for 

alternative routes through the 

Glebe. "It is not uncommon for tre 

to have to stop at three signals in 

a row as I drive north on Bronson 

between Carling and the 

Queensway. This should be 

addressed." 

GLEBE AS DESTINATION 

"With the Francophonie Games 

just over and the EX in full swing, 

we are now all mindful of the 

problems of the Glebe as a 

destination. Parking charges at 

Lansdowne should be kept at a 

nominal rate to reduce the traffic 

on neighbourhood ' streets as 

people cruise for free parking," 

says Thorpe. 

And, Glebe residents should 

behave, too. "Let's not be part of 

the problem," says the Holmwood 

Avenue resident 

Thorpe applauds the hard work 

of the traffic committee in 

nurturing our quality of life, 

adding "The work continues in 

persuading our local politicians 

to implement these 

recommendations."

9 Glebe Report September 14, 2001 REPORT 

City councillor's report 

A race is a race 

Like no other thing. 

When the stars wink out 

And there is only 

The sound 

Of your own heart. 

LANSDOWNE PARK, PARKING 

AND THE RETURN OF THE CFL 

My principal concern with the 

CFL coming back to Lansdowne is 

that they may wis-h to retain the 

asphalt between the Aberdeen 

Pavilion and the Canal as they 

will profit from any parking at 

Lansdowne on game days. I asked 

this specific question at council 

and the staff response was "no, it 

wouldn't be a problem if we lost 

the asphalt and created a green 

park in this area." 

Capital Ward has one quarter 

of the green space of a suburban 

ward. With the exception of 

school yards, we have no soccer 

fields whatsoever in the Glebe. 

Lansdowne Park offers us the one 

opportunity to add green space to 

our community to the benefit of 

not just ourselves but the entire 

city. The edges of the canal are 

the most intensely used park area 

that we have in the city and there 

is just not enough room for people 

to gather for the many events that 

take place there. A pleasant, 

green, treed area with promenades, 

perhaps a band shell and 

some small ponds, could offer a 

wonderful breathing area for 

residents and visitors alike. 

When I talk about losing the 

asphalt between the Aberdeen 

Pavilion and the Canal, some people 

immediately phone my office 

and complain about the "spillover" 

traffic that will result from 

less parking at Lansdowne. The 

answer is that there will always 

be "spill-over" traffic on our 

streets, no matter how much 

parking we provide at Lansdowne. 

The Civic Centre area seats 

10,000 people, the outdoor sta- 

dium seats 30,000, while the 

parking lot currently has only 

2,000 slots. In other words, you 

could take away every parking 

spot at Lansdowne or provide 

twice as many slots as there is 

today and either way, nothing 

would change for Glebe residentswe 

would still get "spill-over" 

parking on our streets. 

I think we should take the 

route of more green space and 

less parking. Right now, in order 

to privilege a couple of thousand 

people at football or hockey 

games with parking, we lose all 

possibility of having anything for 

our conununity except a stadium 

in the middle of asphalt. This 

may have made sense for the Corel 

Centre, but it no longer makes 

sense for Lansdowne Park. Neither 

does it make any sense for 

the new Rough Riders. If the 

Alouettes can sell out Molson 

Stadium in Montreal without a 

single parking space, there is no 

reason the new Rough Riders cannot 

It's the product that counts, 

not the parking. 

On a general note, parking was 

a mess in the Glebe this summer 

and I have been assured by staff 

that we will never again see 

"special event, no parking" signs 

staying up after an event at

Councillor

GLEBE TRAFFIC PLAN 

The entire Glebe traffic plan 

was published in last month's 

Glebe Report and I encourage you 

all to take a few moments to acquaint 

yourselves with the plan 

and send in your comments. The 

Glebe traffic committee vvorked 

for five years, engaged consultants 

and held innumerable meetings 

to come up with a plan that 

could serve the entire community 

without making changes that offload 

traffic onto one street while 

protecting another. This is your 

chance to show that the community 

is behind the traffic plan. 

The morning closure of the 

avenues and other west-east 

streets to cut-through traffic 

from Bronson is the biggest single 

recommendation in the report and 

will be the most difficult to sell 

at committee and council because 

it will impact drivers from the 

south end. But it is nothing that 

hasn't already been implemented 

in Montreal along Avenue du Parc 

or in Toronto along Spadina. Both 

these roads are similar to Bronson 

and the city councils of both 

cities have protected the abutting 

residential neighbourhoods by 

closing them to traffic from the 

principal street This has kept 

the neighbourhood streets that 

intersect with these commuter 

arteries safe and livable for the 

adults and children who live 

along them. I don't see why we 

can't do the same in Ottawa. 

The longer term recommendations 

involve the rebuilding of 

Bronson Avenue and Bank in a 

more pedestrian and community 

friendly way to create a more 

congenial streetscape for those 

not sitting behind the wheel of a 

car. I notice that a fine café has 

opened on Bronson, next to 

McDonald's. It serves great Italian 

meals and fine coffee both 

inside and on a spacious verandah 

which circles the building. From 

the restaurant's deck, you can sip 

cappuccino, overlook the busy 

street and muse on the folly of 

the human condition just as they 

do in Rome but without the airfare. 

The Glebe traffic conunittee 

looks forward to more conunun 

ity-friendly development 1 i ke 

this along Bronson. 

CITY CENTRE COALITION 

PROTESTS AIRPORT PARKWAY 

RAMP CONSTRUCTION 

Congratulations to the City 

Centre Coalition for a very successful 

community rally at Bronson 

and Holmwood, the morning of 

September 4, to protest the construction 

of a ramp at Walkley 

Road on the Airport ParIcway. 

It has become very clear that 

increasing access to and from the 

Airport Parkway hurts not only 

downstream communities like the 

Glebe, it also hurts the airport. 

This is why the Ottawa Airport 

Authority and the Ottawa Chamber 

of Commerce have come out in 

support of delaying the construction 

of the Walkley ramp 

until a more detailed traffic impact 

analysis has been done. This 

should come as no surprise because 

they have seen how the re- 

cently constructed Hunt Club 

ramps have compromised access 

to the airport itselfwhat used to 

be an easy 10-minute drive from 

Sunnyside and Bronson to the 

airport can now take 45 minutes. 

(1- 

I am optimistic that committee 

and council will defer the Walkley 

ramp construction until a 

more detailed analysis of the effects 

of this new ramp has been 

made. Included in the study will 

be an evaluation of red-lighting 

the Hunt Club ramps at peak periods, 

as well as evaluating the 

new train service between South 

Keys and Bayview. 

I hope your summer was rejuvenating.

Infuse your palate 

BY SANDRA FRANSEN 

In Fusion Bistro is this summer's 

new addition to the Glebe's 

already great selection of restaurants. 

If you haven't had a chance 

to try it, it should be on your list 

of restaurants to check out. Owners 

Panina and Michael Pickard 

have succeeded in creating an 

ambiance that is quaint with an 

edge of funk. Modem metal meets 

old-style brick with whimsical 

white curtains in the front bay 

windows and a chandelier over 

the bar. It is an intriguing combination 

of styles that works. 

And if the interesting décor 

isn't enough to entice you, the 

attentive service, taste and presentation 

of the food should. 

There are a number of exotic 

starters, each one prepared per- 

Glebe Report September 14, 2001 1 0 

fectly by chef Andrew Lam, and 

served with flair. The appetizers 

and salads prepare your palate 

for the superbly cooked, eclectic 

mains, all complemented by their 

fine selection of wine. 

I highly recommend the subtly 

spiced calamari to start, followed 

by the caprese salad with its soft 

mozzarella. The Jamaican jerk 

pork tenderloin with mango salsa 

is tender and refreshing and is 

well suited to a glass of Nipozzano. 

The total experience leaves 

nothing wantingit is sophisticated 

without being pretentious, 

relaxed and completely satisfying.

BUSINESS 

Business matters in the Glebe 

BY BRUCE DONALDSON 

September heralds the start of 

another season. School starts, 

cottage life diminishes, holidays 

are past and the family focus becomes 

local. For Glebe merchants, 

it is the time to look at the business 

results to date and decide if 

any changes are needed before the 

end of the year. 

Most of the merchants have 

told us that the results to date 

are equal to or better than any 

previous year, and many are proceeding 

with renovation and expansion 

plansdespite media 

gloom and doom to the contrary. 

Glebe merchants over the years 

have successfully anticipated 

economic changes in time to take 

the correct strategies to deal with 

them. As a result, they have been 

in business a long time and are 

used to providing new products to 

meet the changing upscale demands. 

SMOKING BYLAW 

The recent smoking bylaw has 

not yet caused the disruption to 

dining business forecast by the 

press. From comments of Glebe 

owners, there has been some reduction 

in bar service which 

seems to have been offset by increased 

dining business. (Bar 

service refers to "drop in" business 

such as after work or a 

game.) A number of Glebe restaurants 

prohibited smoking in their 

dining areas long before the city 

bylaw was introduced and, while 

they noticed a slight reduction in 

business initially, it was soon 

offset by an increase in "happy 

diners" who enjoyed the smokefree 

environment for their meal. 

These comments need some 

qualification, since most of the 

Glebe dining areas have outdoor 

tables as well where smoking is 

permitted. A better opinion will 

be obtained in December after the 

cold weather has been with us for 

a while. It is this writer's opinion 

that most (though definitely not 

all) diners will come to prefer the 

improved and smokeless atmosphere 

of restaurants in the Glebe. 

As the great Canadian philosopher 

J. Rodney Osgoode once said, 

"...y vino veritas; y fume bellum..." 

Truer words were never spoken! 

RECENT CHANGES 

IN THE GLEBE 

DILEMME 

Bob Trotter, the owner of 

Dilemme, is a very fast mover, as 

well as a successful entrepreneur. 

Last year he opened a new 

store, L'Autre Dilemme in Old 

Chelsea, managed by his partner 

Danielle Plouffe. This year Bob 

left town a couple of months ago 

and established a new store, The 

Cargo Shed, in Northumberland 

Square (2441 King George Highway) 

in Miramichi, New Brunswick. 

For the time being, he will 

run The Cargo Shed and has left 

Helen Todd to manage the Ottawa 

store. She is a very capable lady 

and worth getting to know. Bob 

comes back occasionally to look 

in on this part of his operation. 

This expansion is consistent 

with the confidence that Bob has 

in the Glebe as a place to do business. 

LOEB GLEBE RENOVATIONS 

You could hardly not notice 

the changes that Jim McKeen has 

carried out in his Loeb store. 

What a difference when one walks 

into the generous space that now 

displays the fresh fruit and 

vegetables. And I understand that 

most of us do not remember how 

little time was taken to achieve 

the change. New fixtures, new accented 

lighting, new shelves and, 

with a few exceptions, very little 

c-rowding in the aisles. The old 

five-foot (1.5-metre) shelves have 

been completely replaced with 

new seven-foot (2-metre) more 

flexible ones that will accommodate 

many display variations and 

also give the appearance of wider 

aisles. Around the peripheral 

walls of the grocery section, all of 

the refrigerated displays are new. 

Karen Carmody, a senior manager, 

told me that the first phase 

is essentially completed. The second 

phase, to be undertaken after 

Christmas, will renovate the deli 

and bakery sections. 

THORNE & CO. 

Last year Linda Thorne had 

tulip bulbs that produced beautiful 

large flowers in a wide range 

of colours. These sold out very 

quickly and she doubled her order 

this year. I understand that 

the bulbs have arrived and are 

available for fall planting. One 

advantage they seem to have is 

that they produce tall flowers and 

can be planted deeper than usual 

to avoid the pesky squirrels. 

CAPITAL HOME HARDWARE 

Chuck Hillock, manager of 

Capital Home Hardware, tells me 

that they will soon be installing a 

computer-driven system to accurately 

determine the colour required 

to match paint chips or 

cloth swatches, and to mix the 

paint in the amount required by 

the customer. There will be an 

announcement as soon as the 

system is up and running. 

WRINGER'S 

Negotiations are in progress 

between the building owner and a 

client to open a new business in 

the space previously occupied by 

Wringer's. While I could not obtain 

any indication of who it is or 

what the business is, it is definitely 

not another laundry. My 

suspicion is that it will be an 

eatery of some kindbut no further 

speculation than that. 

Incidentally, those who need 

Birkenstock shoes repaired from 

time to time may recall Randy, 

the shoe repair person who was 

originally housed in Wringer's. 

He later moved to a place near 

Handi-House on Carling and did a 

reasonable business repairing 

Birkenstock products. We have 

just learned that he is no longer 

there, having moved to Belize. 

Thus, repairs can now be done at 

Tony's on Wellington, across from 

the Grace Hospital.

View of the Carling light rail transit station under construction. 

Local artist to design images 

for light rail transit station 


Local artist Deborah Margo has 

been commissioned to design 

digital images for the light rail 

transit station at Carling. 

The City of Ottawa's public art 

program, office of cultural affairs 

and OC Transpo have collaborated 

on a pilot project to commission 

local artists working in digital 

and photo-based work to create 

digital images to be installed on 

panels in the five new light rail 

transit stations. 

Deborah Mai-go visited the 

Carling transit station construction 

site to research the setting. 

By using a mirrored device attached 

to her camera, she was 

able to simultaneously catch 

views of what was in front, behind 

and on either side of her. 

The result? "Carling Station - 

July 11, 2001." The large-scale 

image's vertical cuts present 

glimpses of the railway corridor's 

cut rock layers, Carling Avenue's 

fast-paced traffic, the suiTounding 

urban forest, as well as the 

newly constructed station. Past 

and present landscape transformations 

are combined, tracing the 

many pathways to be followed by 

arriving and departing passengers. 

The final work will be installed 

on the panels at the Carling 

station shelter just before 

the light rail transit system 

opens. 

Deborah studied art in Montreal 

and Philadelphia and has 

exhibited mixed media works in 

Canada, Mexico and the United 

States. 

An excerpt from her brochure 

notes, "The subject of my work 

has most often been the place 

where it finds itself, taking on a 

variety of forms in installations, 

lit110t. 

sculptures, drawings and photographic 

interventions. I am fascinated 

by the problematics of 

how a space, context or architecture 

affects art work." 

In 1990 Deborah moved to Ottawa. 

She has been an active 

member of the artist-run centre 

Gallery 101 ever since. She is 

also a part-time professor of visual 

arts in the sculpture department 

of the University of Ottawa. 

Deborah lives in the Glebe 

with her husband, a local physician, 

and her two children who 

attend First Avenue Public 

School. 

Other Ottawa artists contributing 

to the light rail transit 

project are Justin Wonnaccat- 

Bayview station; Adrian Gollner- 

Carleton; Mark Masters and Michael 

LechasseurCarleton; Nicola 

Feldman-KissConfederation 

Heights; and Alexandre GastonguayGreenboro. 

Deborah Margo's work will be 

displayed at the Carling station.

Local band Serious Fun delights party-goers. 

Adelaide Street hosts 

"Glebe-stock" 

BY LEE BLUE 

The seventh annual Adelaide 

street party seemed to play tribute 

to the recent 20th anniversary 

of the Woodstock Music Festival. 

Perhaps organizers should 

change the name from street party 

to "Glebe-stock," home of the 

best-ever little music festival in 

the neighbourhood! This year's 

party was fantastic and hosted an 

eclectic gathering of some wellknown 

musicians. 

The evening opened with an 

unplugged performance by local 

musicians and Adelaide residents 

Chris White and Mary Gick. 

Their tunes were amusing and 

enjoyed by all. Parents of under 

fives appreciated Chris's "Pee on 

De Potty" song. Verona Katz took 

over the stage with some cool jazz. 

This is a group to keep your ears 

open for as their sound gets finer 

each year. Following their successful 

night at Wakefield's Black 

Sheep Inn, we were delighted to 

have surprise guests Lynn Miles 

(playing bass!?), Melwood Cutlery, 

Karen Savoca and Pete 

Heitzman. The hippies on the 

street were in heaven! Local band 

Serious Fun played a great mix of 

classic rock tunes enjoyed by 

young and old alike. All ages 

were dancing in the street. Joyfully, 

we are joined each year by 

an amazing group known as the 

"house band," comprised of Gary 

Schingh, Ivan Matte, Richard Patterson, 

Lindsay Macleod and Ginette 

Bodde. They never fail to 

please with their sultry sounds. 

Throughout the evening several 

residents were spotted jamming 

with various groups on trumpet, 

trombone, soprano and alto sax. 

Hidden talents lurk on this block! 

Thanks to all musicians for 

sharing their time and talents by 

joining in to celebrate summertime 

on Adelaide. 

Speaking of talent, creative 

man Dave O'Malley never fails to 

delight, this time with his 7th 

Annual Street Party T-shirt design. 

This year's theme was 

"Party Crossing: Let's do it in the 

road." Dave seems to have no end 

to his creative ideas and great 

sense of humour. These T-shirts 

are limited edition and many 

neighbours boast owning all seven 

original Dave designs. 

Several neighbours, known as 

the usual suspects, worked behind 

the scenes to bring it all 

together and they deserve a big 

round of applause! Without their 

efforts, the annual gathering 

would become a hazy memory. 

Thanks go to Mario and Matthew 

for their time, as well as to Chris 

and Mary for the balloon detail. 

Our gratitude extends to Steve's 

Music and to Loeb for the loan of 

supplies to make the party more 

festive. 

Adelaide Street is a happening 

place with great neighbours and 

amazing street pride. Everyone 

looks forward to next August for 

the eighth annual music festival/street 

party. This is one 

party that keeps getting better 

and better.

Glebe Questions 

Travels with Rafiki 

I thought I was the only one 

who wrote unblushingly about my 

love for Jack Russell terriers. 

But I own myself quite outdone by 

a wonderful column in mid- 

August in that rival publication, 

the National Post. Elizabeth 

Nickson wrote fromwhere else in 

the height of summer?Saltspring 

Island, British Columbia, about 

four-year-old Tiggy, the king of 

her heart, who "sleeps on a 

sheepskin on a campaign bed from 

the Franco-Prussian war" and 

who makes daily visits to the 

village because he is "accustomed 

to the obeisances of middle-aged 

womenaccustomed, hell, addicted." 

And so on. 

All right, more modestly let 

me relate a few of my Travels with 

Rafiki. He likes islands, too. His 

are in the Georgian Bay, and artists 

and writers come by there, 

also, just as on Saltspring Island. 

Once he was left at a cabin on one 

island while the family canoed off 

to a picnic on the reefs a mile or 

more away out of Nare's Inlet. 

Would he miss a picnic? Tiggy 

might, but Raft set off swimming 

and found his unfamiliar way out 

to those reefs an hour later. He 

was 13 at the time. 

This summer I had to shriek 

and pull him away from a tussle 

he was starting with a Mississauga 

rattler who was curled up 

under a dock. And there's m 

place he'd rather be than in the 

prow of a canoe, no doubt reciting 

Tennyson's Ulysses under his 

breath. 

But his most familiar and favourite 

trotting-ground (besides 

Brown's Inlet, where he has his 

birthday party each November) is 

the Arboretum. There are some 

great slopes to go full tilt down. 

He has his own dedicated tree, a 

Russian mountain ash. And there 

are all those other dogs and, yes, 

middle-aged women delighted to 

do obeisance. 

While he is surrounded by 

admirers, his JRC (Jack Russell 

By 

Clyde 

Sanger 

companion, for he owns me more 

than I own him) makes conversation 

with other dog-walkers. 

There are strict, if unspoken 

rules of etiquette about these 

passing conversations. The prime 

rule is that you are expected to 

ask the name, the breed (if unlcnown) 

and the age of the dog 

sniffing around Rafi, but you 

never seek to discover the companion's 

name and address. The 

only exception is if it's another 

Jack Russell whom you want to 

invite to the JR birthday party. 

So here we are, coming up to a 

little white dog with alert earsa 

JR? Unhappily no, the tail's too 

long. "Nice try, but not quite," 

you say, and the lady smiles, for 

you can get away with some light 

breedism in these encounters. 

Sometimes there is a sort of 

zany competitiveness in these 

conversations. Once we came on a 

huge, very friendly dog. After 

Raft and he had got acquainted, I 

ask, "What exactly is your monster?" 

"A Landseer-Newfoundland," 

she replies. Not to be 

stumped, I come back, "I thought 

Landseer designed the four 

bronze lions in Trafalgar Square. 

Sir Edwin Landseer," I add, for 

effect "Yes, I know," she says. "I 

climbed on one of them when I 

was pregnant" 

In the sultry August days, Rail 

and I got to the Arboretum soon 

after dawn. Twice we arrived as 

three black dogs were finishing 

their circuit. "Why so early?" we 

ask. Their walker points to the 

smallest "Because the little one 

is frightened of balloons." I have 

the sudden vision of 50 birthday 

party guests rushing wildly 

among the larches, exploding 

pink balloons on the crab apple 

thorns. I am wrong: she points 

upwards to the still empty sky. 

I was wrong again when an 

early jogger called her lagging 

friend. Etiquette requires ,. a 

greeting, so I shout "Did you call 

him 'Rise and Shine?'" It sounds 

like that, anyway, at that hour. 

"No, Sebastian," is the answer. 

Dogs' names are getting exotic, I 

find. The other day, Rail met a 

10-month-old bouvier whose 

naine we learn is Spartacus. 

Sometimes the wit behind their 

names only hits us later. The 

same day we came on two longhaired 

dachshunds who looked 

nice but hardly nimble on their 

NEWS 

feet A cheery man explains: "We 

got Fred first and when the other 

came, well, we had to call her 

Ginger." 

Outside Loeb one monung, we 

came ondi joy!--a sprightly JRT. 

We begin gathering details in order 

to invite him to the Nove_mber 

party. Alas! He was visiting from 

Toronto. His name? I heard it as 

Lennon. "John?" I ask. "No, 

Vladimir," his comrade says, "a 

revolutionary Jack Russell." 

We lost that one. But Rafiki 

wants to end this by inviting any 

Jack Russell who's around to his 

15th birthday party at Brown's 

Inlet on November 3, from 2 to 4 

p.m. And he'd love it if Tiggy 

came, too.

(17-18) team this season, thanks 

to the efforts of coaches Peter 

Mossop and Paul Jenkins. 

Along with regular-season 

play from May to August, seven 

players were also selected for the 

14-member East Ottawa Cobras 

all-star team, which represented 

the district at the provincial Big 

League championships in Windsor 

in July. The East Ottawa Cobras 

opened the provincials with wins 

over Thunder Bay and Windsor, 

eventually losing in the finals to 

Thunder Bay, who went on to be 

finalists at the Canadian championships 

in Verdun. 

Except for Brian Moore, who 

returned to Glebe this year from 

Carleton-Russell, this was the 

second provincial championship 

experience in three years for 

these local players. In 1999, they 

were on the Glebe Little League 

Senior (15-16) team, which won 

the district championships and 

went on to the provincial semifinals.

Cash-in-lieu of parking applications on GCA agenda Sept. 25 


A new coffee shop, a juice 

bar and a pizza place are asking 

the city to relax the parking 

space requirements for their 

businesses. The Glebe Community 

Association's meeting Sept. 25 

will allow them to discuss their 

applications for cash-in-lieu of 

parking in the Glebe. Comments 

from the community will be considered 

when the city evaluates 

the proposals. 

A number of parking spaces 

must be provided for restaurants, 

according to Ottawa's zoning byiaw. 

In situations where not all 

the parking spaces can be provided, 

the owner or tenant can 

apply to give the city a cash 

payment instead. This cash is deposited 

in a city parking development 

reserve fund to be used to 

develop municipal parking facilities. 

Cash-in-lieu 

applications 

have been requested by Pizza 

Pizza, Bank at Holmwood, to expand 

and offer sit-down service 

as well as takeout; by Bridgehead 

Coffee that hopes to open a coffee 

shop beside the post office on 

Third Avenue; and by a businessman 

who hopes to open a juice 

bar on Bank Street. 

The GCA has a policy of opposing 

cash-in-lieu of parking 

applications because the overall 

parking problem in the Glebe has 

never been addressed, says June 

Creelman, planning committee 

chair. The association would 

prefer a real parking solution, 

rather than addressing parking 

requests case by case. The GCA 

must be persuaded to make any 

exception to the policy. There is 

also a danger in setting a precedentany 

business that takes over 

the site could benefit from the 

cash-in-lieu of parking decision. 

Councillor Clive Doucet has 

asked city staff to prepare a 

sunrunary of recent cash-in-lieu 

requests to see how they add up. 

June Creelman says she understands 

those who contend that 

parking regulations are not fair 

or realistic for a small business 

in the Glebe. "We should be 

working towards a solution," says 

June. The meeting Sept. 25 will 

allow Glebe residents to hear 

from the applicants and have 

their say. 

The applicants argue that the 

demand for parking will be less 

than the bylaw estimates. Their only the planning committee and 

patrons would be local residents city council can make the deciwho 

would come by foot from the sion for a reduced payment, says

"...we got a

from the community" 

Anticipating the obvious 

questiondoes the Glebe need yet 

another coffee shop?she declares 

that Bridgehead is unique. "We 

offer shade grown, fairly traded 

organic coffee. And we view ourselves 

as part of the neighbourhood. 

When we opened our shop in 

Westboro, we got a wonderful welcome 

from the community." 

Clark doesn't anticipate creating 

traffic or parking demands 

from staff or customers. The parttime 

staff would be local students 

and manager Pam Fletcher doesn't 

drive. (Pam used to be a fitness 

instructor at the Glebe Conununity 

Centre.) Deliveries will come 

to the receiving door off the 

parking lot. Bridgehead expects 

its customers to be local. 

The zoning bylaw requires 

Bridgehead to have 16 spaces; five 

are already provided. Bridgehead 

is requesting consideration of a 

reduced payment arguing it is 

unlikely that 11 more parking 

spaces would be needed for a 

coffee shop.

parking applications are handled 

by the city's director of planning,

each for two more," he says. "I 

just want to get on with it. It is 

difficult to find a site in the 

Glebe to rent and I'm afraid it 

will go to someone else" (if the 

application takes too long). 

The target market for the 

juice bar would be younger residents 

especially. "It would be a 

refreshing change for the Glebe 

and give people a choicean alternative 

to junk food," says the applicant. 

PIZZA PIZZA 

Pizza Pizza at 929 Bank St. is 

exploring the possibility of expanding 

to 925 Bank to offer 

seating for 26. 

Howard Tuchman, director of 

store design for Pizza Pizza, says 

"We want to clean up our store 

and expand next door. We're not 

offering fine dining, just a place 

where the kids who come in for a 

slice can sit down, instead of 

eating on the street." 

Tuchman argues that expansion 

will not add to the parking 

burden. "The store is for walk-in 

customers, people who are here 

already or on their way tu 

Lansdowne Park." He adds that if 

the expansion is turned down, 

Pizza Pizza will leave the Glebe. 

He says the company wants 

to stay in the community. "Our 

restaurant is growing and Ottawa 

is growing too." Pizza Pizza outlets 

need to be clean and standardized, 

he explains, thus the 

plans for renovation, to modern-

granite counters, brighter lights 

and expand the menu to include 

fries as well as chicken nuggets. 

"We'd like to stay on Bank 

Street and grow the business, 

make it a real nice corner," he 

adds. He says the landlord at 925 

Bank St. views them as a triple-A 

tenant and will offer a long-term 

lease. 

Tuchman says, "We want tu 

be as close to Lansdowne as possible." 

Pizza Pizza has been at 

this location since 1987. 

"Is it worth stopping 

development over 

parking?" 

"We really want this to hap- 

pen," says Tuchman, "and we'd be 

willing to pay cash-in-lieu of 

parking if necessary." He's been 

told that six spaces are needed. 

"However, is it worth stopping 

development over parking?" 

he asks. Restaurants add night 

vitality to a neighbourhood, he 

points out, and warns that there 

are already signs of decay on 

Bank Street. 

CITY POLICY 

Robert Konowal, of the city's 

development services branch, 

says that "in a pedestrianoriented 

area with limited parking 

in the neighbourhood, cashin-lieu 

of parking is probably the 

way to go." 

When an application is made, 

city staff evaluate the site, look 

at the nature of use proposed, 

look at existing on-street parking 

and listen to corrunents from the 

community. The decision to approve 

a cash-in-lieu of parking 

application is made by the city's 

director of planning, although the 

city councillor could override the 

process if he wanted to bring it to 

city council. 

The request to pay a reduced 

amount can only be made by 

council. Konowal notes that for 

something like the Bridgehead 

application, parking space credit 

approval would be limited to a

Back to School 

Natural Health Products 

It's that time of the year again - time to go back to school. Your teens, 

tweens and children will be busy learning, studying, playing sports, 

taking music lessons...the list goes on. A lot of energy, concentration and 

discipline will be necessary in order for them to achieve all their goals. Here 

are a few natural health products that are useful to have in your at-home 

pharmacy during this up-coming busy school year: 

With the winter season just ahead, children can benefit from a wellbalanced 

multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, assuring all nutritional 

needs are met. For instance, the Quest Chewable Multi-Vitamin has natural 

source vitamins and minerals, without any artificial colours, flavours or 

preservatives. 

If a child is agitated or needs help with their memory and concentration, 

try an essential fatty acid (EFA) supplement. "Learning Factors" is a 

blend of essential fatty acids and antioxidants for optimal brain and visual 

performance. Researchers at Perdue University found that children who 

are inattentive, impulsive and hyperactive have low levels of EFAs. Since 

the body cannot consistently make enough EFAs for a child's quickly 

developing brain, they must be provided in the diet and/or through a 

quality supplement like "Learning Factors". But don't forget - raw nuts 

and seeds, fish, and fresh cold pressed olive and flax seed oil are some of 

the best sources of EFAs found in food. 

For those muscle aches and bruises, try rubbing some arnica gel on 

the slcin immediately after injury. Given internally, arnica in homeopathic 

form promotes healing of damaged tissues, helps control bleeding, and can 

alleviate the emotional shock linked to injury. 

Tea tree oil is a must in everyone's medicine cabinét. It is an excellent 

antiseptic for those all-to-frequent scratches, it will help prevent or treat 

nasty lice problems, and can contribute in eliminating acne pimples. 

Last but not least, echinacea is good for the immune system, therefore 

useful for colds, flus and other infectious illnesses. When using the liquid 

non-alcoholic tincture form, echinacea can also be used as a topical 

antiseptic for acne and scratches. 

For any other information on natural 

health supplements, I will be available at 

the Pharmasave Glebe Apothecary every 

Thursday and Friday from 12:00 to 6:00 

p.m. Wishing you all a very good school 

year, 

Your community naturopath, 

Julie Barbeau.

1 9 Glebe Report September 14, 2001 FEATURE 

Glebe residents help build the world's largest sneaker 

in aid of juvenile diabetes research 

BY PAMELA MASON 

Glebe residents Mary and Mike 

Pal were among several families 

promoting the Ottawa launch of 

the world's largest sneaker at a 

local Shoppers Drug Mart, August 

23. The giant red sneaker was on 

its way east where it will be used 

to wind up the Shoppers Sneaker 

Sales Campaign in St. John's, 

Nfld., on behalf of the Juvenile 

Diabetes Research Foundation. 

Shoppers hopes to raise $1.5 

million nationally and over 

$50,000 from more than 20 stores 

in Ottawa. 

It took 120 hours, 52 yards 

(47 metres) of canvas, 88 sq. feet 

(8 sq. metres) of carpet overlay 

and 190 yards (173 metres) of 

stitching yarn to make what is 

believed will be the Biggest 

Sneaker in the World in the Guinness 

Book of Records: 13' x 5' x 4' 

(3.9 x 1.5 x 1.2 metres). The laces 

were 50 feet long (15 metres)! 

Eleven-year-old Mike was diagnosed 

with Type 1 diabetes on 

March 27, 2001, a date that Mary 

Pal says was both earthshaking 

and irrevocably life-changing. 

While it began innocently enough 

with flu-like symptoms, Mike's 

excessive thirst and getting up in 

the night to go to the bathroom 

concerned Mary enough to take 

him to the family doctor and ask 

for a blood test. "In the back of 

my mind, I was recalling magazine 

articles I'd read about diabetes," 

Mary remembers, "but I 

knew it couldn't be that because 

Mike was young, fit and we have 

no family history of the disease." 

Type 1 diabetes is largely unknown 

or misunderstood. It affects 

only about 10 per cent of 

the 2.25 million Canadians with 

diabetes and is very different 

from Type 2 where the pancreas 

produces insulin but fails to 

process it effectively. Diagnosed 

early enough and managed diligently, 

Type 2 can often be 

treated with changes in diet, exercise 

and oral medication. 

Type 1 or juvenile diabetes is 

an autoimmune disease. For reasons 

we don't yet understand, the 

body makes a mistake, attacking 

and destroying the insulinproducing 

beta cells in the pancreas. 

For people with Type 1, no 

matter how well they eat or how 

much they exercise, they are dependent 

on daily injections of 

insulin and frequent finger pokes 

to monitor blood sugar levels just 

to stay alive. 

Approximately 600 families 

are currently being seen in the 

diabetes clinic at CHEO. The in- 

cidence of Type 1 diabetes is 

growing and more children under 

the age of five are being diagnosed. 

At 11 p.m., the Pals received a 

phone call from a doctor at the 

lab urging them to take Mike to 

CHEO at once. His test results had 

indicated a very serious problem. 

After rousing Mike and racing to 

the hospital, they had the diagnosis 

in a matter of minutes. Mike 

had Type 1 diabetes. They spent 

most of the night in emergency 

before being allowed to take Mike 

home. 

Mike & Mary Pal with the world's largest sneaker at Shoppers Drug Mart 

"Over the next few weeks," 

Mary recalls, "we dealt with the 

emotions of shock, grief and denial. 

How could our active son, 

with his lean, muscular body, 

have the disease that we connected 

with overweight, sedentary 

people, when we had no family 

history of it? 

"Suddenly we had to deal with 

all kinds of medical paraphernalia: 

alcohol swabs, a glucometer 

with lancets and strips to test his 

blood sugar levels every few 

hours, a blood glucose log book 

and, of course, the dreaded syringes 

and vials of different 

types of insulin. We were assigned 

to a CHEO diabetes team: a 

nurse who trained us to give injections, 

a dietitian who explained 

to us about the precise 

amounts of food categories Mike 

must eat every two hours and an 

endocrinologist who patiently 

answered our questions. It was at 

the hospital that we first learned 

about JDRF." 

The Juvenile Diabetes Research 

Foundation was established 

in 1974 by parents of 

children with diabetes who knew 

the only real hope for their children 

was a cure. From small beginnings 

it has become the largest 

not-for-profit, non-governmental 

funder of diabetes research in the 

world. In fact, diabetes research 

is a Canadian storyfrom the discovery 

of insulin 80 years ago to 

the successful transplantation of 

islet cells currently under way at 

the University of Alberta (the 

Edmonton Protocol). JDRF is also 

active in promoting awareness 

and education about Type 1 diabetes 

through a quarterly newsletter, 

presentations and their 

new school program, Kids Walk 

for the Cure. 

Even so, parents constantly 

battle a lack of understanding 

about their children's disease, 

the devastating effects and the 

impact it has on the whole family. 

The misunderstanding comes in 

large part because these children 

look healthy and remain active. 

Says Mary Pal, "I bite my tongue 

when I hear comments like 'it's no 

big deal' or 'could be worse.' Be- 

lieve me, it is a big deal and, 

while I acknowledge there are 

deadlier diseases, I must be on 

constant alert with this one. 

When well-meaning observers 

remark, 'oh, I don't know how you 

can stick him with needles every 

day,' I reply, 'easy; it's what I 

must do to keep him alive'...one 

day at a time." 

Besides organizations like 

JDRF, Mary has come to depend on 

almost daily support from a network 

of parents at the childrenwithdiabetes.com 

Web site. With 

more than 500 families who subscribe, 

Mary counts on a 

"frantically e-mailed question" 

being answered within minutes. 

Mike has impressed everyone 

with his maturity in dealing with 

diabetes. His cheerful and resilient 

nature has helped him 

through some rough days and he 

has accepted the limitations of 

the disease with remarkably few 

complaints. Mike wears a Medic-

Alert bracelet and carries glucose 

tablets with him at all times 

(plus his cell phone, the gift of a 

concerned aunt in Montreal), and 

he has learned to self-inject. He 

put together his own team for this 

year's Shoppers Walk for the Cure 

called "Mike's Mad Hatters" and, 

with the help of family, friends 

and neighbours, raised over 

$2,000. According to his mom, 

he's like most 11-year-old boys: 

he skateboards, hangs with his 

friends, argues with his brother 

and sister, and spends too much 

time on the computer. 

While his parents try to keep 

things as normal as possible, the 

disease has changed Mary's life. 

"I live with fearfear that I won't 

be able to wake him one morning 

or that he will have a seizure, and 

fear that he will suffer the debilitating 

complications of the 

disease." 

Her greatest hope lies in research. 

She truly believes there 

will be a cure in Mike's lifetime 

and, like most parents of children 

with diabetes, she wants to be 

part of the solution. "When CDA 

collects used clothing to raise 

funds, I'm the first one on the 

block to put out big bags for 

them, and when JDRF has their 

annual Walk for the Cure in June 

or hosts a gala dinner, I get involved," 

she says with the same 

enthusiasm she brought to Maple 

Tree Quilts and her work with 

GNAG. By sharing Mike's story, 

she hopes others will too.

New season opens October 1 

for Ottawa Symphony Orchestra 

On Monday, October 1, the Ottawa 

Symphony Orchestra (OSO) 

will open its 2001-2002 season 

with a performance of Verdi's 

Requiem, conducted by David 

Currie, to mark the centenary of 

the death of the great Italian 

composer and patriot, Giuseppe 

Verdi. 

The concert begins at 8 p.m. in 

Southam Hall of the National Arts 

Centre. On stage with the 100- 

member Ottawa Symphony Orchestra 

will be the Ottawa Choral 

Society and a dazzling quartet of 

outstanding Canadian soloists: 

Measha Brueggergosman, soprano; 

Sandra Graham, mezzo-soprano; 

Philippe Castagner, tenor; and 

Gary Relyea, bass-baritone. A 

thrilling performance is guaranteed 

with the presence of the dynamic 

Ms. Brueggergosman, a 

young singer on the threshold of 

international stardom. 

Prior to the performance, professor 

Jean-Jacques Van Vlasselaer 

will give a free lecture at 7 

p.m. in the NAC Salon. Seating for 

the lecture is limited and will be 

on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Following the concert, the 

Embassy of Italy will host Viva 

Verdi!, a benefit reception for the 

OSO. 

The season continues on November 

12 with an all-Russian 

programme, including Tchaikovsky's 

Capriccio italien, Mus- 

sorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, 

and Glazunov's Violin Concerto, 

with guest soloist David 

Stewart. 

On January 28, the OSO will 

celebrate David Cunie's 10th anniversary 

concert with another 

program of wide appeal- 

Hungarian Dances by Brahms, 

Symphonic Metamorphosis by 

Hindemith, a new flute concerto 

by Ottawa composer Jan Jarvlepp 

with Robert Cram as guest soloist, 

and Der Rosenkavalier Suite by 

Richard Strauss. 

Youth comes to the fore on 

February 25, when the Ottawa 

Youth Orchestra will join the OSO 

on stage for Khachaturian's Suite 

for Spartacus, and The Hour Has 

Come by Glick with the Ottawa 

Regional Youth Choir. The concert 

concludes with Prokofiev's Symphony 

No. 3 (The Fiery Angel). 

On May 7, the season comes to a 

dramatic conclusion with Passion 

of Angels (concerto for two harps) 

by Mozetich, and Symphonie fantastique 

by Hector Berlioz. 

The OSO presents five concerts 

each year in the National Arts 

Centre under music director and 

conductor David Currie. The concert 

on October 1 will mark the 

opening of its 37th season. Season 

tickets are available from the 

OSO ticket manager (747-3104), 

and individual tickets from the 

NAC box office and TicketMaster.

23 Glebe Report September 14, 2001 REPORT 

Ottawa-Carleton District 

School Board trustee report 

LEADERSHIP AT 

CAPITAL WARD SCHOOLS 

Principal positions are confirmed 

for the 2001-2002 school 

year. Welcome to Frank Allan at 

Glebe, who has transferred from 

Hillcrest, and Bernie Finnerty at 

Hopewell, who has transferred 

from W.E. Gowling. I am fortunate 

to continue working with Dagmar 

Stonehouse at First Avenue, Valerie 

McKay at Lady Evelyn, and 

Barbara Campbell at Mutchmor. 

Each school has a school council, 

comprised of parents, who 

form the majority of the membership, 

as well as representatives 

from the administration, teaching 

and non-teaching staff, students 

and the wider conununity outside 

the school. These councils are 

actively involved in the life of the 

school and they advise the principals 

on a variety of matters. 

School council elections are held 

each fall, within a month of the 

beginning of the school year. At 

this time, I wish to thank all 

chairs and co-chairs who have 

over the past year (or more) given 

so much of their time and ability. 

They are Peter McKercher at First 

Avenue, Nadia Moravec at Glebe, 

Rob Campbell at Hopewell, John 

Baglow and Richard Deadman at 

Lady Evelyn, and Ben Anthony at 

Mutchmor. A sincere note of appreciation 

to all school council 

and other volunteers. 

Finally, I wish to welcome 

Nancy MacLeod, the new superintendent 

for Zone 9 schools, and 

thank superintendent Judith 

Hoye, Glebe resident, who now has 

responsibilities elsewhere in the 

board. 

TEACHING STAFF 

IN OUR SCHOOLS 

While many boards are reporting 

real teacher shortages, it 

appears that the OCDSB will be 

able to meet student needs in almost 

every subject and specialty 

area. We may experience some 

shortages in French as a second 

language in both elementary and 

secondary schools, and in some 

technical areas in secondary 

schools. The OCDSB has no teachers 

on a letter of permission, i.e., 

an employee with the technical 

skills but without a teaching 

certificate. The board has a small 

number of certified teachers 

(languages and technologies), 

with a "temporary letter of approval," 

teaching a subject or 

grade that they are capable of 

teaching even though the assignment 

is not part of their qualifications. 

CHALLENGES 

IN THE YEAR AHEAD 

The board-approved Strategic 

Plan 2000-2003 focuses on key 

areas, including student achievement 

staff training, development 

and support the school as hub of 

the community; safe and caring 

schools; volunteers; corporate 

management and fiscal planning. 

Operational plans and action 

steps have been identified for 

each of these areas. Please check 

the board's Web site at www. 

ocdsb.edu.on.ca for information 

on the strategic plan. 

By 

OCDSB 

Trustee 

Lynn 

Graham 

In addition, trustees have 

identified three specific initiatives 

for the coming school year. 

First, the board will engage the 

services of an outside professional 

to investigate the financial 

affairs of the board. Trustees refused 

to pass the 2001-2002 

budget because the board is facing 

a funding crisis which will 

worsen in 2002-2003. An investigation 

should help the OCDSB 

make its case to the province for 

increased funds, as the level of 

government funding will be compared 

to actual student needs. 

Secondly, trustees have voted 

to seek assistance from the Edmonton 

Public School Board in 

order to "produce a plan for implementing 

a site-based management 

regime in the OCDSB, with 

pilot projects beginning in the 

2002-2003 school year. I did not 

support this motion due to concern 

about lack of definition and 

lack of consultation with school 

councils and others. What does 

site-based management mean/ It 

could mean more authority for 

principals, a stronger role for 

school councils, local control of 

school budgets, an increase in 

school and program choice, 

school-based fund-raising, local 

responsibility for maintenance of 

physical plant or more accountability 

through testing. I'm hoping 

that the visit by representatives 

from the Edmonton Board 

will answer many questions, as 

they have 30 years experience 

with site-based management. 

Certainly, I will seek definitions 

and stakeholder input as the 

planning unfolds and pilot projects 

are implemented. 

Thirdly, there will be a thorough 

review of arts education in 

the OCDSB in 2001-2002. Board 

staff will work with the community, 

including members of the 

advisory committee on the arts. 

The scope of the review will include 

dance, drama, literary arts, 

media arts, music and visual arts 

from junior kindergarten to the 

final year of high school. 

EXTRA-CURRICULAR 

ACTIVITIES IN 

SECONDARY SCHOOLS 

This fall, as is the case across 

the province, the OCDSB and the 

Ontario Secondary School Teachers' 

Federation have reached an 

agreement on staffing and teachers' 

workload for the 2001-2002 

school year, and both parties have 

ratified the agreement. This is 

.very good news as there is every 

expectation that extra-curricular 

activities will now fully resume 

in all secondary schools, with 

teachers voluntarily taking on 

these responsibilities. Parents 

is pleased to announce the opening 

of our new clinic location at 

1644 Bank Street (corner of Bank & Heron) 

in the Canada Care Medical Building.

SCHOOL NEWS 

Behind the bricks of Corpus Christi 

BY JIM ROGERS 

The 2001-2002 school year 

has had a great beginning. Our 

school population, as of the end of 

the first week of school, is 325 

students and continues to grow. 

We continue to look forward to 

receiving the children who are 

still moving into our community. 

Corpus Christi is pleased to welcome 

Andrew Leach as our physical 

education specialist and Gil 

Carriere for the Grade 5/6 French 

immersion class. 

BUILDING THE SPIRIT 

TOGETHER! 

A Welcome Assembly for the 

student body was held the first 

day to welcome returning students 

and staff and extend a warm 

welcome to our new students and 

staff members. Following a short 

liturgy, a School Year Survival Kit 

was shared with the students. 

Items chosen from the kit by 

class representatives will remind 

students throughout the school 

year of our school goal to continue 

to build a strong-spirited 

school conununity. Survival kit 

items included: a Heartreminding 

all of us to follow the 

gospel message to love one another, 

a Starchallenging all of us 

to shine brightly and always do 

our bes a Stickerreminding us 

to support each other, a Toothpickencouraging 

us to pick out 

the best qualities in our classmates; 

an Eraserreminding us 

that mistakes can be corrected; 

and a Pennytelling us that we 

are all special and valuable. 

The students have developed a 

wonderful welcoming spirit and 

each student will continue to be 

an ambassador of Corpus Christi's 

spirit. 

Students are actively engaged 

in the bilingual program (50 per 

cent English and 50 per cent 

French). They are setting up their 

clubs and activities for the year, 

such as environment club, patrol 

group, intramural sports teams, 

peer mediation, chess club, choir, 

piano and recorder lessons, parish 

visits and school liturgies. 

Practices for soccer and crosscountry 

school teams will soon be 

under way. 

SCHOOL COUNCIL 

WELCOMES PARENTS 

School council executive have 

met and arranged for the first 

school council meeting to be held 

on September 18 at the school. 

All parents of children in the 

school are encouraged to participate 

in the association. We are 

fortunate to have a very involved 

and supportive school council. 

The council team works very 

closely with the school to support 

programs and extra-curricular 

activi ties. 

The staff and students wish to 

extend a sincere thank you to Ella 

Forbes-Chilibeck for her organization 

of the Exhibition parking 

committee. This has been a very 

successful fund-raising activity. 

This endeavour consumed a great 

deal of time on the part of many 

parents and staff members. 

'Thank you for giving your time 


another great year begins 

and for sharing your enthusiasm. 

A special thank you from all the 

students! 

We also wish to thank all the 

parents who have assisted in any 

way to get our school year off to a 

great start. 

We believe that the community 

enriches the educational under- 

taking at Corpus Christi as we 

work together in providing a 

challenging learning environment. 

Staff and students always 

extend a sincere welcome to the 

community to visit Corpus 

Christi.

.-A 

More students, more staff 

at Mutchmor 

BY ROGER SMITH 

Mutctunor has reopened its 

doors to an extra 50 students, a 4). 

happier problem than the one it As 

faced last year when the threat of 

closure loomed over the school. 

With about 385 students enrolled, 

Mutchmor is still below 

its capacity of 417. Even then, the 

school is juggling students b3 

pare down some over-sized 

classes and get them all to 

roughly equal sizes. 

But even as principal Barbara 

Campbell scrambled to sort 

things out, a parent reminded her 

to look on the bright side. "She 

told me to remember last year and Coining in 

I must have looked a little puz- 

zled," said Campbell. "So she 

said, 'the closure, silly, how 

could you forget?'" 

Campbell attributes the increased 

enrolment to efforts to 

publicize and sell Mutchmor, including 

a Web site set up by parent 

John Sekerka featuring a virtual 

tour of the school. The 

building itself is in better shape, 

too, thanks to the work of other 

volunteers. Karen Barkley, whose 

children have graduated from 

Mutdunor, came back anyway tD 

touch up and clean the painted 

"carpets" in the hallways, which 

she originally painted about 10 

years ago. 

And volunteers, co-ordinated 

by parent Courtney McDermott, 

raised about $6,000 by turning 

the schoolyard into a parking lot 

during the Ex. That's just one of 

the projects to raise money to 

help school council fund improvements 

that couldn't otherwise 

be afforded because of 

budget cutbacks. 

As for staff, Mutclunor boasts 

five new teachers and bids them 

all a warm welcome: Janice 

Johnston (French), Wendy Hagglund 

(French and special education), 

Anne Ballard (Grade 2),

The Jasmine Mana shimmering novel 

THE JASMINE MAN 

By Lola Lemire Tostevin 

Key Porter 

224 pages, $21.95 (paper) 

The link to the shrink and the 

desert mirage prove instant metaphors 

for a precariously preserved 

love affair lasting a lifetime 

or at least up to the writing 

of the enchanting Jasmine Man. 

Lola Lemire Tostevin weaves a 

gossamer-like web as she relates 

several stories simultaneously. 

Protagonist Amelia Legate 

Gérard and her husband Gilles (a 

psychoanalyst) accompanied by 

their three-year-old son spend a 

summer in France and Tunisia 

(specifically Paris and coastal 

Sidi Bou Said). While hubby/ 

shrink attends conferences and 

writes papers, Amelia entertains 

their son, too preoccupied with 

child care to pursue her master's 

studies in art history. When 

Gilles is not sight-seeing he 

comments acerbically about patients' 

obsessions, including 

those of his wife, whom one cannot 

help but think of as Gilles' 

personally selected constant patient. 

The best lines in the book 

come from heroine and hubby regarding 

psychoanalysis. Gilles, 

who takes his camera with him 

everywhere, compares photography 

to psychotherapy: "You have 

to catch the right moment" And 

Amelia, whose nickname is Amy 

(pronounced Amy by her husband 

and Aimée by her Tunisian lover) 

says to Gilles: "'Whatever I say, 

you'll hear something different.' 

Much of psychoanalysis I had 

learned was based on the ability 

to hear something else other than 

what was being said." 

Amy and Gilles are determined 

to make their marriage work. 

Gilles tolerates his wife's summer 

affair (silently colludes) by encouraging 

Amy to travel alone to 

Sidi Bou Said, and then asking 

By 

Sharon 

Abron 

Drache 

Habib (her lover) to leave P.-ris 

and return to his hometown to 

look after Amy. (Did I mention 

that Amy meets Habib while sitting 

on a park bench in Robert 

Schumann Square in Paris and 

that Habib, a total stranger, 

regularly babysits Jonathanguess 

I forgot... .) 

Tostevin gets full marks for 

scenic tours of Tunisia and environs, 

the eye of the art historian 

enhanced by the ephemerality 

afforded by travel, the escape 

from reality. 

Son Jonathan serves as innocent 

witness while Amelia and 

Habib engage in rituals made to 

enchant both lovers and children 

such as placing jasmine flowers 

behind one's ear to show that one 

has a woman. The son, like the 

lover, has a womanboth wear 

their flowers behind the same 

ear. Habib paints Aimée's toes 

with henna before making love to 

her. Jonathan gets his toes 

painted too, before sleeping 

blissfully in the room next to 

where his mother gives herself to 

a man other than his real father. 

Could this be why Jonathan falls 

critically ill at the height of the 

affair, his birth father rushing to 

the rescue? The desert pictures 

suddenly stopwhen Amy leaves 

Sidi Bou Said, she is three months 

pregnant Gilles raises Habib's 

baby as his adopted son Jeremy. 

The secret is kept from Habib 

while Jeremy appears to learn 

instinctively of his birth father. 

And at age 10, he is told the 

truth, which he accepts. 

Tostevin's characters are 

drawn with deft precision, especially 

Habib, as much Aimée's 

Jasmine Man at the end of the 

novel as he was at the beginning, 

especially after finally learning 

of his son, now 19. Habib has 

married three times and sired 

only daughters. He is honoured to 

have a son with his lifelong lover 

Aiméea package deal with Gilles 

as adoptive father and guardian of 

Habib's desire. 

The dimming of lights when 

making love, the covering of lamp 

shades with silk scarves is the 

smoke and mirrors out of which 

this shimmering novel emerges 

and concludes. 

Lola Lemire's previous novel, 

Frog Moon, was recently published 

in French. A bilingual 

writer, she works in English primarily. 

Her other publications 

include five books of poetry and 

works of literary criticism and 

translation. She has taught creative 

writing at York University 

for several years.

2 9 Glebe Report September 14, 2001 RELIGION 

Month of Elul a time of preparation 

for High Holy Days 

"In the seventh month, in the 

first day of the month, 

shall be a solemn rest unto 

you, a memorial proclaimed with 

the 

blast of horns, a holy convocadon. 

Ye shall do no manner of 

servile 

work; and ye shall bring an 

offering made by fire unto the 

Lord." Leviticus 23: 23-35 

During the Hebrew month of 

Elul (mid-August to mid- 

September), Jewish people are 

engaged in emotional and spiritual 

preparations for the oncoming 

High Holy Days, also known as 

the Days of Awe. Elul is intended 

as a time for study and s el f- 

examination, and a time to review 

the past year and prepare for 

teshuvah (return and renewal). 

The Days of Awe include both 

Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 

and extend over a 10-day period 

when people engage in reflection 

and review of the spiritual year 

coming to an end. 

Rosh Hashanah (the head of the 

year) falls on the first day of the 

Hebrew month of Tishrei, corresponding 

this year to the evening 

of September 17. It ushers in the 

year 5762 in the Hebrew calendar. 

"For on this day shall atonement 

be made for you, to cleanse 

you: 

frnm all your sins shall ye be 

clean before the Lord. It is a Sabbath 

of solemn rest unto you..." 

Leviticus 16: 30-31 

Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) 

begins on the evening of 

September 29 with the chanting of 

the Kol Nidrei (all my vows). It 

is the holiest day of the Jewish 

year, the Sabbath of Sabbaths, a 

day of transcendent joy, of restoration, 

and of fasting and selfdenial. 

By cleansing the soul, i t 

provides a yearly opportunity for 

people to seek divine forgiveness 

through penitence and prayer, to 

make amends with one another, 

and to start on a new path or to 

return to the path from which one 

may have strayed. 

A symbolic way of starting 

anew occurs on Rosh Hashanah 

afternoon. People gather at a 

place of flowing water, such as a 

river, stream, or the canal, to cast 

away bits of bread. These represent 

occasions when one has 

"missed the mark" over the previous 

year. By tossing away these 

crumbs of misdeeds, one can feel 

ready to get back onto the proper 

path of righteous behaviour. 

Children like the activity, as 

the bread attracts ducks and fish 

in the waters. But even the children 

can be led to review their 

own path and to decide which behaviours 

and relationships to 

strengthen and which need altering 

or casting aside. 

Finally, beginning with Rosh 

Hashanah and up to Yom Kippur, 

it is a time to wish and be wished 

a "good year" (Pshanah tovah), to 

eat apples dipped in honey and 

honey cake, symbolic of a sweet 

year to come, and to visit with 

family and friends. 

Carleton University Ecumenical Chaplaincy 

Gather for celebration 

and conversation 

BY THE REV. DR. TOM SHERWOOD 

Don't ask Carleton people, 

"What's new these days" unless 

you have lots of time to hear the 

answer. 

This is the central year of 

"SuperBuild"a cluster of new 

building projects and renovations 

at a total cost of about $80 mil- 

lion. Enrolment is up already 

(about 400 more first-year students 

this year than last); and it 

is projected to go up every year 

for the next several years, in- 

cluding the double cohort in 

2003. There will be new buildings 

ready for this larger student 

population. We just opened a new 

residence and a new home for the 

biology department and the Canadian 

Wildlife Service, named after 

former dean H.H.J. Nesbitt. 

There are new classrooms; there 

is new teaching space in the 

UniCentre and the residence complex. 

Two new buildings are being 

constructed, and the Tory Building 

has been decommissioned so 

that it can be totally reconstructed. 

As a result, professors, 

classes, research units and the 

chaplaincy have been moved. The 

ecumenical chaplaincy is now at 

the north end of the UniCentre on 

the ground floor, near the store. 

We'll maintain our basic Monday- 

to-Friday ministry there (the 

quiet room, the chaplaincy centre, 

the chaplain's office) until 

we can move back up to Tory in a 

year or so. 

The chaplaincy has a new office 

administrator: Marney Robinson 

of Fourth Avenue Baptist 

Church. 

Part of our ministry is to help 

students connect with the local 

congregations for Sunday worship. 

Marney and I have attended 

many hours of Orientation Week 

events, answering students' 

questions about the closest 

churches to campus and making 

many referrals. 

Another part of our ministry 

is to offer a Sunday evening Carleton 

alternative for young adults 

who want to spend this part of 

their faith journey more in the 

campus culture. It has been i n- 

teresting to observe that this i s 

often attended by Glebe and Old 

Ottawa South residents who have 

missed their morning church 

services or want a more participatory, 

interactive "adult Sunday 

school class." I never preach at 

the Sunday evening gatherings. 

No one does. We sing, pray, read 

scripture and discuss it Then we 

pray and sing some more. 

The "Carleton Congregation" 

gathers for celebration and conversation 

every Sunday evening at

Anglican Church on Sept. 16 and 

Christ Church Cathedral on Sept. 

30. 

On Nov. 17, we host a Saturday 

afternoon conference on "Building 

a Culture of Peace" with Murray 

Thompson of the Society of 

Friends (the Quakers) speaking 

in the Humanities Theatre. It will 

conclude with a multifaith prayer 

service in which the members of 

each faith group will take a turn 

reading about justice and peace 

from their scripture (or quoting 

from their tradition) and praying 

for peace in their own way. 

For more information, telephone 

the chaplaincy at 520- 

4449 or e-mail tom_sherwood@ 

carleton.ca 

Dr. Sherwood is the ecumenical 

chaplain at Carleton.

News from the Sunnyside branch 

BY HÉLENE MERRITT 

This year, Sunnyside Branch will not be able to participate in the 

Old Ottawa South Porch Sale. However, we do invite you to visit our 

used-book sale table inside the branch whenever we are open. 

FRENCH PROGRAMS 

A French reading group for adults, which was intermittently held at 

the Second Cup coffee shop, has come home to the branch. We will meet 

at 7:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month. 

We are also offering a French storytime for three- to six-year-olds, 

Tuesdays at 2:15 p.m. 

ADULT PROGRAM 

An adult reading group will be hosted by Janet Desroches on the last 

Friday of each month in the programming area of the children's department. 

REGISTER FOR CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS SEPT. 15 

Contrary to rumour, the Babes, Time for Twos and Toddlers programs 

are not cancelled, but will resume in October, rather than in September, 

this year. The registration date for these programs is Sept. 15. 

Our regular storytimes for three- to five-year-olds resume after Labour 

Day: Mondays at 10:15 a.m. and Wednesdays at 2:15 p.m. 

LOCAL AUTHOR AT READING GROUP 

Mother-Daughter reading 

groups for girls eight to 12 resume 

on September 26 and 27, 

when we will be honoured by a 

visit from local author Mary Borsky. 

Mary will read from her first 

children's novel Benny Bensky 

and the Perogy Palace. 

Mary Borsky will also be one 

of a number of featured authors at 

a Gala Kidslit event held at 

Nepean Centrepointe Library, cosponsored 

by the Ottawa Children's 

Literature Roundtable and 

the Ottawa Public Library, on 

October 10.
