Glebe Co-op Playgroup 

Valentine surprise 

BY SANDRA KEARNS 

Valentine's Day is almost 

here! The children at 

the Glebe Co-Operative 

Playgroup are very busy 

making surprises for our 

families and friends. Although 

we all enjoy making 

the special cards, the 

children's favorite part 

is being able to hand deliver 

them to our wonderful 

friends at the Glebe Community 

Centre. And there 

certainly are a lot of nice 

people at the community 

centre to whom we would 

like to wish a Happy Valentine's 

Day. 

We all had a surprise of 

a different kind recently 

when our gerbils became 

parents! "Pete" and "Repeat" 

had four babies 

while visiting with Arthur 

White and his family. The 

gerbils arrived at Playgroup 

to be greeted by 

children and adults alike, 

all eager to see some 

fascinating little babies. 

The gerbils have grown 

rather quickly and will 

soon be moving to their 

new homes. From all the 

attention the children have 

been showing them it is easy 

to tell that they will be 

missed. However, we may 

sitvg4 

p236-640as 

fa 

not have to wait long before 

the gerbils are caring 

for new babies. It 

seems gerbils enjoy being 

parents! 

LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE 

The Glebe Co-Operative 

Playgroup has a limited 

number of spaces available 

for January through June 

'93. The Playgroup offers 

a licensed preschool program 

for children 18 months 

to 5 years of age. 

Toddlers enjoy our Tuesday/ 

Thursday morning program 

which offers sensory activities, 

art, sandbox, blocks, 

a dress-up area, stories 

and cirple time. 

Preschoolers enjoy similar 

activities in our Monday/ 

Wednesday/Friday morning 

program. 

Our morning program hours 

are 9:00-11:30. We offer 

an afternoon program for 

preschoolers aged 3 and up. 

Our afternoon program includes 

a wide variety of

EDITORIAL NOTES 

Views expressed in the Glebe Report are those of our 

contributors. 

We reserve the right to edit all submissions. 

A community celebration 

February 2nd was a very special day in Capital Ward 

and one that I will long remember and cherish. 

I was touched and honoured to be chosen as one 

of 22 Whitton Award recipients, in the first of 

what will become an annual event in Capital Ward 

to pay tribute to voluntarism and community 

leadership. 

I am sure I speak for all who received the award 

in thanking Councillor Jim Watson for instituting 

the award, himself and his staff for their hard 

work in making the event such a success, and all 

the thoughtful individuals who nominated candidates 

for the award. 

It was heartening to see so many other City 

Councillors and civic leaders there, and I hope the 

idea of such an award takes root in other communities 

It is a positive exercise in building a community's 

identity and empowerment. I am sure there are 

hundreds of wonderful volunteers in other communities 

deserving of such recognition. 

Thank you to everyone who played a part in making 

Whitton Awards night such a warm and wonderful 

celebration! 

I would add that I feel privileged to live in a 

community where so many people give of their time, 

energy and resources for so many worthwhile causes. 

I would also like to share the credit with our 

wonderful staff and volunteers. The hard work of 

Glebe residents, too numerous to mention, over the 

years has made the Glebe Report as successful as it 

is today. 

THANK YOU SALLY 

A special thank you must go to Sally Cleary. 

Sally has been quietly and dependably working with 

the Glebe Report in a variety of roles since the 

early 1970's. Her abiding interest, and willingness 

to help over two decades are much appreciated by all

OPINION 

O.B.E. Ratepayers' Association criticizes spending 

BY JULIE TAUB 

The Ottawa Board of Education's 

recently published 

Guide, "Learning" delivered 

to most homes) was remarkable 

for what it did 

not include. On p. 6, 

the OBE boasts of having 

reduced its 1992 budget 

by $34 million after public 

consultation through 

the use of debentures 

(long term borrowing at 

10%), by draining the reserves 

and by using a $5 

million provincial windfall 

for Champlain H.S. Is 

this an achievement to 

highlight:: 

As a matter of fact, it 

was public condemnation 

that forced the board to 

re-examine its extravagant 

budget. However the budget 

cuts targeted mostly the 

most vulnerable personnel, 

such as noon-time monitors 

and teacher aides and impacted 

negatively on the 

classes which are generally 

much larger this year. 

These cuts were not advocated 

by the ratepayers. 

The Board chose not to 

cut back its superfluous 

capital expenditures which 

'resulted in the $10 million 

construction of Lady 

Evelyn, an entirely unnecessary 

alternate school 

serving under 400 students 

of whom over 80% will be 

bused. All these students 

have local regular English 

and French Immersion schools 

available to them within 

their community. 


cut back its senior administrative 

ranks nor to 

close any of its 4 administrative 

sites - rather 

it chose to close Ottawa 

Technical School to convert 

it to another administration 

building. 


cancel its intermediate 

alternative school (Summit) 

for 34 students. 


close any of its underutilized 

schools or reduce 

its 700 secondary school 

options. 

The OBE has more surplus 

schools than it knows what 

to do with::: Yet the OBE 

trustees voted (December 

'92) to reconstruct Connaught 

Elementary school 

for a projected $8 million 

in 1993 (which likely will 

end up costing $10 million 

as did Lady Evelyn) for 

K to grade 6 and will accommodate 

fewer students 

than it is currently serving 

in grades K - 8. 

Yet Within walking distance 

there is the empty 

1200 student capacity 

Fisher Park School which 

is scheduled to re-open to 

accomodate under 400 grade 

7 & 8 students which the 

Board will have to scrounge 

around to find. Do note 

that Fisher Park was closed 

by the OBE in the late 80's 

with 800 students due to 

low enrolment. The Board 

acknowledges that it does 

not have the funds to proceed 

with this extravagance 

but it will endeavour 

to further increase its 

debt load. 

The OBE boasts on p.7 of 

its "Guide" that the "Bench 

marks" programme, on which 

it has already wasted hundreds 

of thousands of dollars 

over the past several 

years, is just beginning. 

Why continue this expensive, 

wasteful and confusing 

duplication of the 

Province's Benchmark programme. 

Will teachers have 

to write up two Benchmark 

evaluations per student?? 

What a shameful waste of 

money and of teachers' 

efforts. 

The Board boasts of a decreased 

annual drop-out 

rate. The use of an annual 

drop-out rate is deliberately 

misleading and 

useless. The only dropout 

rate that counts is 

the cumulative rate - that 

is, what percentage of 

students that enter grade 

9 drop out before graduation. 

This is the rate used 

by the province and other 

school boards and the only 

significant one. It is 

currently 33% provincially. 

Parents and other ratepayers 

are very concerned 

that in this recession, 

when the tax base is shrinking, 

unemployment is rising 

and bankruptcies are 

a record high, the OBE continues 

to operate above 

our means. Consequently, we 

advocate a freeze on capital 

expenditures and taxes 

for 1993 and strongly urge 

all OBE ratepayers to attend 

OBE budget deliberations 

this February. 

We demand that the OBE 

provide academic as well 

as fiscal accountability. 

We are concerned that

FEASIBILITY STUDY OF THE GLEBE COMMUNITY CENTRE 

The Board of GNAG was informed by Jim Watson that 

our efforts to obtain a feasibility study of the Community 

Centre in the near future were successful. The 

study is to identify present and future space requirements 

for the centre. If you have any "vision" of where 

we should be going with this future centre, please 

contact Wendy Daigle Zinn, Chair of GNAG at the Community 

Centre, other board members or the staff at 

the Centre. It is our intention to have full community 

participation in the process and we will keep you 

informed as our plans become finalized. The Board of 

GNAG would like to take this opportunity to thank 

Councillor Jim Watson for his tireless efforts and 

support in assisting us in securing the City of 

Ottawa's commitment to this study.

Skate's Beat 

Vandalism 

BY CST. GARY SCHUITEBOER 

It was a beautiful Saturday 

morning. My oldest boy, 

Jason, and I were doing shopping 

errands for the family, 

and I'd pulled into a self 

serve gas bar for a fill up. 

I got out, went to the rear 

of the car where the gas 

filler was located. That's 

when I noticed the damage. 

Someone had taken, a nail 

or a key and scratched the 

side of our car. It takes 

only seconds to cause hundreds 

of dollars worth of 

damage to a vehicle. It was 

even more frustrating because 

we had purchased it 

only months ago. 

Jason and I discussed the 

mindset which would have 

caused someone to target our 

vehicle for vandalism. Perhaps 

because it was a new 

car it stuck out from the 

rest. It could have been 

because of the car's.,distinctive 

white colour. We 

ruled out revenge as a motive 

because the car had to 

have been damaged in the 

shopping centre parking lot 

the day before; a totally 

anonymous environment. 

Fortunately, the person 

responsible might have been 

disturbed as the vandalism 

was restricted to the right 

rear of the vehicle. 

All the reports I have 

made while on general patrol 

or have read when preparing 

the crime synopsis for 

the GZebe Report, have made 

me empathize with the victims 

behind the numbers. I understand 

the frustration and 

anger one can experience 

when discovering one has 

been victimized by such 

"get a life" type individuals 

Recently my supervisor, 

Inspector Tony Skinner, received 

a complaint from 

Glebe residents near Lansdowne 

Park concerning the 

increased frequency of 

damage to and theft from 

autos. I was assigned to 

work the afternoon shift in 

the Lansdowne Park area 

during Ottawa Senator hockey 

games. It seems that while 

fans are enjoying the 

games inside the arena, the 


a community alert 

critinal element are damaging 

and stealing from the 

unattended vehicles. One 

need only look to the 

'Theft under $1000' section 

in the Crime Synopsis Report 

to see that the majority 

of _thefts and damages are 

in Area Three, the Lansdowne 

Park area. 

My duties are to act as 

a visible deterrent to criminals 

and hopefully to 

apprehend and charge those 

responsible for these crimes. 

The Criminal Code term 

for vandalism is mischief. 

"Every one commits mischief 

who wilfully 

destroys or damages 

property; 

renders property dangerous, 

useless, inoperative 

or ineffective; 

obstructs, interrupts 

or interferes with the lawful 

use, enjoyment or operation 

of property; or 

obstructs, interrupts 

or interferes with any person 

in the lawful use, enjoyment 

or operation of 

property." 

Any time there is a special 

event such as Winterlude, 

or a sporting event 

at Lansdowne Park, large 

numbers of people are 

attracted to this community. 

The criminal element are 

well aware of this, so remember, 

"out of sight, out 

of mind." Don't leave your 

valuables visible on car 

seats. The locked door is 

a fragile defense against 

the determined deviant who 

would steal your property, 

so remove any temptation. 

ASK SKATE 

My purpose is to become 

more involved with the concerns 

of the community I 

patrol. If you have a 

concern you think could be 

of interest to others, stop 

me on the street or write 

to Skate's Beat, c/o the 

Ottawa Police, Community 

Services, 474 Elgin St., 

Ottawa, Ontario K2P 2J6. 

So, until next time.... 

see you on the beat!

ASSESSMENT APPEAL WORKSHOPS 

The four workshops slated 

for last month were all held 

as scheduled and 

A 

were well 

attended. The GCA ran the 

workshops to assist those who 

had filed an appeal. 

Additional benefit resulted 

from the exchange of 

information during questions 

and answers. 

I had the help of many 

volunteers who assisted in 

the smooth running of the 

sessions. The time donated 

by experts, Janet Bradley, 

Peter Vice and Frank Peddle 

is most appreciated. Thank 

you as well to Jonathan Wauk, 

Stephanie Gabrych, Sandra Zed

McCarthy and Rob 

Quinn who 

gave most generously of their 

time to assist me during the 

afternoons and evenings. 

list or 

The following is a 

some of the points that were 

covered: 

- request from the assessment 

office a copy of your 

property record form; 

request from them,as well, 

the list of comparables they 

are using for your property; 

check this information for 

discrepancies; 

formulate your own list of 

what you believe to be your 

comparables; 

obtain information on the 

sales of houses in your 

vicinty (the area has been 

divided into a number of 

vicinities - and for the most 

part only houses in the same 

vicinity are to be used for 

comparison); 

locate property evaluations 

that may have been made for 

mortgage or insurance 

purposes; 

look into environmental 

factors, UFFI, traffic etc. 

All of the above compiled 

information will help in 

developing your case to prove 

that your assessment is 

inequitable. 

Do not hesitate to attend a 

session or two at the Appeal 

Board to get the lay of the 

land on how 'the hearings 

proceed. The Appeal Board is 

on Holly Lane (opposite the 

intersection of Heron and 

Walkley roads). 

One 

other little tidbit.... 

do check the information 

relating to available parking 

on your property. Many 

properties in the Glebe do 

not have parking and owners 

must buy monthly permits. It 

has already been noted in 

some cases that the record 

form eroneously stated that 

parking was available on the 

site. Needless to say this 

could have a very real impact 

on your assessment.

CONVENIENCE I HAVE LEFT A

JANUARY BOARD MEETING 

At last month's Board 

meeting "the naming of the 

lane between Oakland and 

Woodlawn" was tabled until 

the February meeting. It was 

agreed that Mr. Arnold and 

Mr. Brummell would canvass 

the immediate neighbourhood 

to determine preferences for 

Ernie Brady Lane, Perennial 

Lane or a yet unnamed third 

choice. 

A motion to oppose a zoning 

change for 99 Fifth Avenue 

[Fifth Avenue Court] which 

would result in recognizing 

the existing number of 

parking spaces as satisfying 

a 11 future parking 

requirements was passed. The 

Board was very concerned with 

this "blank cheque" approach 

to commercial parking. 

The GCA will also send a 

letter of support to the 

Provincial Government for St. 

Matthew's Church application 

for funding of a housing 

development project located 

in the area now known as 

Jefferson Hall, as well as 

particularly well suited. We 

wish them success as they 

wend their way through the 

bureaucratic maze. 

DATES TO REMEMBER 

THE GREAT GLEBE GARAGE SALE 

will be held on Saturday, May 

29th. 

The Community Association's 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING will 

be held Wednesday, May 19th. 

The Annual MEMBERSHIP DRIVE 

is scheduled to take place 

the first week of May. 

NEXT BOARD MEETING 

At the February 23rd meeting 

some consideration will be 

given to the Kirby Report, 

The Sewell Report, and 

setting up the committees for 

the above named activities. 

Do you want to be part of the 

Board? Just give me a call 

or come to one of our 

meetings held every fourth

CAPITAL COLUMN

By 

Opuncillor 

Ji m Watson 

Thank you to everyone who 

attended the First Annual 

Whitton Awards Ceremony at 

Lansdowne Park on February 

2. I was truly delighted 

with the community response, 

and I congratulate all of 

the award winners (listed 

in a story in this edition 

of the Glebe Report).The 

sense of voluntarism and 

commitment that this community 

shows, never ceases 

to amaze and impress me. 

I would also like to thank 

all of those Glebe and Ottawa 

South business people 

who so kindly donated refreshments 

and services 

for the reception so it 

would not be a cost to the 

taxpayers. 

My thanks to Keith and

MVA PHASE IN AND RELIEF 

My sincere thanks to 

Beatrice Raffoul and all the 

volunteers who assisted 

with the MVA workshops. I 

attended and participated 

in all four sessions in 

the Glebe and Beatrice 

did a terrific job. 

While MVA is a creature 

of the province, the City 

does have the jurisdiction 

to phase in the tax increase. 

Therefore, any 

resident with an increase 

in their assessment of 25% 

or more will have their 

taxes phased in over a four 

year period. If you qualify 

(ie: over 25%) your tax 

bill will be adjusted automatically 

- so there is 

nothing for you to do. The 

phase in helps ease the 

burden, but regrettably, 

it does not eliminate it. 

It was interesting to 

watch a number of council- 


lors who voted for MVA, 

talk with great conviction 

about how important a phase 

in is and why we must do 

everything we can to protect 

those on fixed incomes! 

Why didn't they think of 

that when they voted for 

MVA?! 

TAX RELIEF - PEOPLE ON FIXED 

INCOMES 

The City is also entitled 

to offer a one time grant 

in the first year of MVA 

(1993) for those people 

who have a gross adjusted 

family income of $40,000 

or less, and whose taxes 

plus $40 exceed 5% of that 

income. 

The calculations are a bit 

convoluted but essentially, 

what the program does is give 

you a tax credit of 10% of 

your 1992 taxes. In other 

words, if your 1992 taxes 

were $3,600, you will be eligible 

for a $360 tax credit 

on these taxes. You must apply 

for this grant and you 

can call the city's Finance 

Office at 564-1211 for the 

application or call my office. 

With the form comes an 

information sheet explaining 

how it works. If you have any 

problems please call me dir- 

ectly at 564-1308. I encourage 

you to apply'if 

you are eligible or notify a 

neighbour, friend or relative 

if you think they 

qualify. 

REGIONAL BUDGET 

The regional portion of 

your tax bill will be increased 

by 2.7%. This is the 

lowest increase in the 24 

year history of the Region. 

Next year I hope we can keep 

it under 1.5%. 

SNOW REMOVAL 

If you have any difficulties 

with snow removal on 

your street, feel free to

hotline 564-1111.

BY MAC 

More than one million Canadian 

children and youth are 

living in poverty. That averages 

about one child in 

six. These statistics are 

a result of poor government 

policies, or perhaps 

a lack thereof. 

Canada is recognized as 

being the number one country 

in the world in terms 

of social, economic and 

political stability and 

prosperity. Yet there is a 

huge number of children 

living in extremely poor 

conditions. 

According to Statistics 

Canada, children make up 

the single largest group 

of poor people in the country. 

Children's health is vital 

to the future wellbeing 

of our country. Yet 

sometimes we become all 

too immune to statistics - 

even when they refer to 

hungry and dying children. 

According to Statistics 

Canada, many children are 

more likely to die at birth 

or from infectious disease 

or accident. There are a-

I 


Canada. In 1985, 6000 of 

these died. Many of these 

poor and starving children 

often suffer from poor performance 

at school and high 

drop out rates. Many have 

encounters with the law or 

become wards of the child 

welfare system. Instead of 

becoming the productive citizens 

of tomorrow, they are 

the social problems of today. 

The government must concentrate 

on investing in 

the people of this country, 

particularly the children, 

since they are the future 

of Canada. 

With the assistance of 

local and national organizations 

dedicated to the 

rights of children, I have 

introduced a Private Member's 

Bill, an act respecting a 

National Child Day in the 

House of Commons. On November 

19, 1992, Bill C-371, 

an act respecting a National 

Child Day was introduced - 

with the purpose of promoting 

the rights of children. 

If passed, the 20th day of 

November, each and every 

year, would be recognized 

as "Child Day" in Canada 

to promote awareness of 

their needs. Canada must

Organization the key to a wedding's success 

BY ELIZABETH SPENCE 

In February, our thoughts 

naturally turn to Hearts 

and Flowers, and whatever 

else Red and Romantic. However, 

those lucky couples 

who are engaged (or will 

be on Valentine's Day) will 

discover that there's a 

lot more to think about 

than lingering with loving 

gazes over their candlelit 

dinner. If you thought 

you were an organized person, 

these months before 

the wedding make you wonder 

if you really knew the 

meaning of the word: 

How do couples begin to 

plan this premier event in 

their lives? First and 

foremost, establish a ballpark 

budget. Weddings are 

occasions filled with emotions, 

yet surrounded by 

expenses, so it is important 

to keep your wits a- 

bout you. With this in mind, 

reserve a church and reception 

site as early as possible. 

Many popular choices 

are booked at least a year 

in advance. The place you 

choose will obviously be 

determined by the number of 

guests, the degree of formality 

and the kind of ambience 

you have in mind. This is 

also the ideal time to discuss 

with both families the 

division of costs. A clear 

idea of who will be paying 

for what may save everyone 

from possible misunderstandings 

or resentment. 

Next, decide on the makeup 

of your bridal party, 

and invite them, giving consideration 

to their means 

to participate. Another 

early mission should be 

the search for a wedding 

gown, as it may take months 

either to order from a 

boutique or to be custom 

made by a designer. Then, 

if there are particular 

suppliers you would like, 

whom you know to be in 

great demand, be sure to 

contact them at this time. 

In Ottawa, for example, 

certain photographers and 

bands are especially heavily 

booked during the summer 

months. 

After these initial arrangements, 

others may be 

made at a more leisurely 

pace in the following weeks. 

Services such as florists, 

invitations, videographers, 

limousines, cakes, guest 

favours and bridal party 

gifts should be carefully 

chosen, but will be easier 

to decide once the main 

stage has been set. 

Your best bet in choosing 

suppliers may be a valued 

recommendation from a close 

friend who has had happy 

experiences with particular 

professionals. Failing this, 

a reputable bridal consultant 

will be able to suggest 

a short list of suppliers 

in all areas whose 

standards are high and 

whose price is right. A 

good wedding consultant 

will also help you organize 

your planning time, advise 

you on proper etiguette 

and protocol, assist 

you with creative decorating 

ideas, give you 

money saving tips, and be 

available to help in per-

There is a good reason why 

some weddings look flawless, 

while others appear as a 

series of tragi-comic errors 

and omissions. The 

bride may be a frazzled 

bundle of nerves, scarcely 

able to enjoy her ultimate 

day, or she may be happily

FOCUS 

March 9th fundraiser supports Harmony House 

BY DIANA CARR 

Many Glebe residents are 

familiar with St. Matthew's 

Harmony House which was 

started as an outreach project 

by St. Matthew's Anglican 

Church on First 

Avenue under the guidance of 

Canon Calder. The program 

has developed into a fundamental 

element of the 

Ottawa-Carleton response 

to family violence and is 

one of which the many members 

and volunteers of St. 

Matthew's and this community 

can be very proud. 

What you may not realize 

is that Harmony House, as a 

non-profit organization 

funded by the Ministry of 

Community and Social Services, 

must actively seek 

out additional sources of 

revenue in order to continue 

to qualify for its government 

funding. As well, in 

the current economic climate, 

chances of an increase in 

funding are remote. 

This year we are again 

holding a movie night during 

International Women's 

Week, March 7 to 13. This 

year's feature is an 

Australian comedy entitled 

"Waiting," a film about 

childbirth, and surrogate 

parenthood. "Waiting" is 

also about female bonding. 

Noel Taylor of the Citizen 

gives the movie three and 

one-half stars. 

Tickets to "Waiting" are 

$20.00 each. Subsidized 

tickets are also available. 

To obtain tickets call 

Harmony House at 233-3386, 

Diana Carr at 232-3563, or 

Wendy Bryans at 230-0313. 

Tickets will also be available 

at the door. 

In this our third annual 

event, "Waiting" will be 

presented at the Canadian 

Museum of Nature, (Metcalfe 

and McLeod) on Tuesday, 

March 9, at 8 p.m. Doors 

open at 7:30 and patrons 

will be entertained before 

the show by a trio of 

jazz musicians from Cantebury 

High School. There will 

be door prizes and a special 

guest to introduce the movie. 

Harmony House is the only 

second stage shelter for 

survivors of family violence 

in eastern Ontario. Women 

and their children who 

have fled a violent environment 

and stayed in a first 

stage shelter such as Interval 

House or Maison d' 

Amitié are eligible for admission 

to Harmony House. 

Restrictions of space and 

financing mean that four 

out of every five applicants 

is turned away. The 

program comprises two components: 

SHELTER 

The Corporation of St. Matthew's 

Harmony House, Ottawa 

leases a small apartment 

complex from City Living 

(City of Ottawa). The two 

buildings feature 16 apartment 

units, 10 one-bedroom 

apartments, 3 bachelor and 

3 two-bedroom units. Residents 

are eligible for rental 

subsidy, thus they pay 

25% of their income in rental 

for their units (rentgeared-to-income). 

SUPPORT 

At the time of their entry 

into Harmony House, residents 

identify personal 

goals for themselves and 

their children. Support 

including resource information, 

individual and 

group counselling, referrals, 

peer support, social 

activities and information 

workshops are provided to 

help them meet these goals. 

A child advocacy worker 

plans and implements programs 

for the children. 

Residents may stay up 

to twelve months but the 

majority leave in less 

than six. The resident community 

is increasingly more 

culturally diversified 

creating new demands for 

the program. 

ABORIGINAL PROJECT 

In April 1992 Harmony 

House became the sponsor of 

a new program, the Aboriginal 

Women's Support Project, 

which is funded by 

the Ministry of Community 

and Social Services and 

coordinated by one of the 

counsellors, Colleen Whiteduck. 

The program has 

three goals: to establish 

an education training 

program in conjunction with 

Algonquin College for aboriginal 

women to work in 

the field of violence; to 

conduct a needs assessment 

to specifically address 

aboriginal women who have 

experienced violence; and, 

to provide a support service 

to the aboriginal community. 

The project is actively 

supported by Harmony House 

and is progressing in all 

three areas. 

Efforts to date to assist 

women who live with abuse 

have of necessity focussed 

primarily on crisis response. 

Holding perpetrators 

responsible for their 

abusive behaviours and 

developing emergency shelter 

and crisis protection and 

support services for the 

abuse, have consumed most 

of the human and financial 

resources of government 

and community. Members of 

Harmony House believe that 

as a service which is 

funded to help women and 

children pick up the pieces 

of their battered lives 

they must be actively 

involved in a process of 

social change which makes 

violence against women 

and children unacceptable 

behaviour in practice as 

well as theory. Harmony 

House is committed to 

helping women and their 

children live lives free 

of violence. 95% of 

its residents do not return 

to their abusive partners 

but move on to a safe, in- 

dependent life in the community. 

Harmony House tries 

to remain in contact with 

all ex-residents and work 

to keep them connected 

with the support they received 

there. The organization 

continues to work at educating 

the public about family 

violence issues. Many 

members are actively involved 

in activities and 

other organizations in the 

community aimed at violence 

against women and children. 

Harmony House fulfills 

an important role in the 

community. Your support is 

welcomed and encouraged. 

Diana Carr is President of 

the Board of St. Matthew's 

Harmony House.

MUSIC 

Classical guitarist will perform in Glebe 

Lovers of classical guitar 

music will not want to miss 

hearing the phenomenal Scottish 

guitarist David Russell 

when he performs at Glebe 

St. James Church (Lyon St. 

at First Avenue) on Friday, 

March 5th at 8:30 p.m. 

The Ottawa Guitar Society 

is pleased to once again 

present this artist who has 

been hailed by the New York 

Times as "a talent of extra- 

ordinary dimension," 

and 

recognized as a legend among 

classical guitarists worldwide 

for his virtuosity and 

supreme musicality. 

Tickets are $20.00 at the 

door or in advance; $15.00 

for Ottawa Guitar Society, 

seniors, and students. For 

advance tickets telephone 

238-4456 or 592-1641. 

When he performed in 

Ottawa in March 1992, Jacob 

Siskind, music critic for 

the OttaWa Citizen wrote "... 

Russell has developed a 

transcendent virtuosity on 

his chosen instrument that 

sets him apart from and above 

not only fellow guitar 

players but most of those 

who perform on any string 

instrument. None of the 

music in the guitar repertoire 

holds any terrors for 

him and his playing is illuminated 

by a strong sense 

of musical form, a sensitivity 

for tonal variety and 

a musical sensibility that 

only a few players in any 

generation can muster.... 

he need take second place to 

no living exponent of his 

chosen instrument. . ." 

David Russell was born in 

Glasgow, Scotland in 1953, 

and spent his early childhood 

on the Spanish island 

of Menorca where he was introduced 

to the guitar by 

his father. At sixteen he 

moved to London to study at 

the Royal Academy of Music 

with Hector Quine. He twice 

won the Julian Bream Guitar 

Prize, and accepted a grant 

from the Spanish government 

in 1975 to study with Jose 

Tomas in Santiago de Compostella, 

Spain. 

He has won most major international 

guitar competitions 

including the Alicante 

Guitar Competition, the Jose 

Ramirez Competition, the 

Andres Segovia Competition 

in Palma de Mallorca, and 

Spain's most prestigious -- 

the Francisco Tarrega Compe-

VICE-PRINCIPAL 

VOLLEYBALL PLAYOFFS 

The Volleyball teams have 

been playing three noon 

hours per week since the 

beginning of December. There 

were eight teams in all, 

with four teams playing on 

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 

coached by staff members. 

Team members played 

very enthusiastically and 

not one game was missed! 

It all came to a showdown 

on Monday, January 25, when 

the playoffs were held. Team 

eight won by one point: Congratulations 

to the captain, 

Greg Ross,and to the other

as well as the costumes, were 

very colourful; the students 

empathized with Sophie and 

there was frequent audience 

participation in order to 

help Sophie out of her impending 

dilemma. 

The "Théâtre des Lutins" 

is a regular contributor to 

the cultural aspect of the 

programme, bringing a variety 

of French plays to the 

school. This play was anothex 

success,in a record of fine 

performances. 

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY READ-A-THON 

On Monday, January 25, First 

Avenue P.S. launched a Read- 

A-Thon for Muscular Dystrophy. 

A representative of 

the Muscular Dystrophy Society 

of Canada gave a presentation 

explaining to the 

student body the particulars 

of the disease. Afterwards, 

the children were given 

pledge cards, where they will 

keep a record of the books 

they have read, and the 

sponsors who are willing 

the group "Théâtre des Lutins' to donate money in support 

who presented the play "Les of their efforts ana for 

malheurs de Sophie." The the Muscular Dystrophy Socaudience 

was delighted by iety. Thus, the more books 

the play, and by the antics that are read, the more money

Students have been enthusiastically 

seeking pledges; 

many have already filled 

their cards. 

NON-SMOKING WEEK 

The Kick-off was a great 

success, with the media 

event organized by the Canadian 

Council on Smoking 

and Health. Pertinent and 

thought-provoking questions 

were prepared by the students 

for the Honourable 

Benoît Bouchard, David 

Hill and Carolyn Waldo, who 

answered each student's 

questions in either French 

or English. The gym and 

hall walls were decorated 

with the many coloured posters 

the students had prepared 

during the previous 

week, and many of them 

will be kept, with the students' 

permission, in the 

Clearing House of the CCSH 

for future use. During the 

week of the campaign, the 

posters were a constant 

reminder of the hazards of 

smoking.

Skating to Beethoven 

BY NORMA STANSBURY 

January 28th dawned 

clear and cold - -23°C worth 

of cold. I had a rendez-vous 

with 100 Hopewell students 

who were planning to skate 

to the NAC to see a production 

of "Beethoven." I 

thought they wouldn't be 

crazy enough to do this, 

but by noon (by which time 

it was a balmy -20°C) I 

was wishing these'intrepid 

skaters from grades 5-8, 

plus staff members Allison 

Woyiwada, Marilyn Doyle, 

Bob Bannon and Dave Chartrand, 

a Bon Voyage. 

Next day I talked with 

a few of the kids and got 

some interesting feedback 

on the performance and 

the skate there. Comments 

ranged from "it was too 

cold" (which I already 

knew:), to "it was great:" 

"It was tiring" (from 

someone who took only 40 

minutes). Krista said that 

the ice was really bad and 

that she fell a lot but 

that it was neat arriving 

via the Canal rather than 

by school bus "like everyone 

else." Michael B. had 

trie same opinion saying 

that he'd ruined his ankles 

Michael M. "can do anything 

on the ice." Rumour has it 

that he did double axels 

all the way there: 

The performance got mixed 

reviews. The idea was to 

make a classical performance 

accessible to a younger 

audience who may not

Sports Beat:

It was not a busy month 

for most sports at Hopewell, 

but in volleyball 

and skiing there is plenty 

to tell you about. 

Monday night skiing has 

begun. Many 6, 7 and 8th 

grade students go to Edelweiss. 

Everything has gone 

well except for one week 

when the bus' front lights 

broke. The students had 

to wait for another bus 

to come and didn't get 

back to the school until 

midnight. Several intermediate

have enjoyed sitting through 

a straight concert. Grade 

5's thought it was great - 

they enjoyed the music. 

Doireann said, "most people 

think that we don't like 

classical music, 'cause 

we never listen to it, but 

we do." They also liked 

the figure of Beethoven 

who attended his own concert, 

equipped with a 

hearing aid, from Conductor, 

Boris Brott. Whereas grade 

5's thought this was very 

original, the older students 

felt it was a little beneath 

them. Andy felt that 

"it was more oriented towards 

kids" although 

music was well done, and 

Angus thought that Beethoven's 

"clothes were too 

tight:" Both groups agreed 

that the 13-year old 

guest pianist was fantastic. 

Julian said, "she played 

really well and because 

she was young, I could 

relate to her." 

There was also an interesting 

slant to the show. 

Margaret, Catherine and 

Wendy, all singers with 

the Central Choir of the 

Ottawa Board, performed during 

each of the performances. 

The hardest part according 

to the girls was 

not the singing, the large 

audience nor the imposing 

hall, but keeping still 

behind a sheer screen for 

the 40 minutes before their 

number came up: 

and workshops. They 

stayed four days and three 

nights. 

Both girls and boys volleyball 

teams participated 

in the Glashan Volleyball 

Tournament. Both tournaments 

had a round robin

The girls team made 

it past the round robin

playoffs but eventually 

were eliminated. The boys 

team also made it by the 

round robin and they, like 

the girls team, were also 

eliminated. Ms. Kopczeski

Glebe C.I. hosts debating tournament 

BY CHRISTIAN MORETON 

On January 29, the Glebe 

Debating Society hosted a 

Debating Tournament for 

regional secondary schools. 

The debate was born of the 

enthusiasm of the Glebe debaters 

and their feeling 

that more opportunities are 

needed in the Ottawa region 

for competition among 

secondary school debaters. 

We decided to address this 

by inviting other schools 

to a debate at Glebe. The 

response was excellent 

and a total of 24 teams 

(48 students) from 12 

schools participated at 

the event. These schools 

included Grenville Christian 

College, Sir Robert 

Borden, Nepean and Brookfield 

high schools, and 

Lisgar Collegiate, among 

others. 

In past months, Glebe 

teams have participated in 

debating competitions at 

Nepean High School, Sir 

Robert Borden High School, 

Grenville Christian College 

and McGill University. 

At these events we 

noticed that each school's 

debating club has a distinctive 

debating style 

and character. The nature 

of the Glebe Debating Society 

is one of zany wit 

and imagination, and we 

felt it was essential for 

this to be reflected in our 

debate. 

We experimented with the 

variables as much as possible 

to find the combination 

which would yield 

thoughtful, yet entertaining 

arguments. To keep the 

debating lively and creative, 

we did away with the 

prepared round which requires 

hours of research 

and often results in debators 

reading speeches rather 

than arguing the case 

spontaneously. The final

round of the tournament is 

debated by the top four 

speakers and can be slow 

but the final round of the 

Glebe debate was exactly 

what we wanted - stunning, 

abrasive, and controversial. 

Our approach was indeed a 

success: 

The first place team was 

Lisgar Collegiate followed 

by Sir Robert Borden in 

second place. The top debater 

was Adam Segal, followed 

by Jeff Morton in 

second place, Lindsay Watt 

in third place and Dan 

Friedman in fourth position 

The Glebe debaters, as 

hosts, did not compete but 

were busy throughout the 

day timing, co-ordinating 

events and providing refreshments 

which included homebaked 

goodies and a pizza 

supper. 

The type of debating we 

organized is called impromptu 

debating. The resolutions 

were very cryptic, 

such as "Pickles are the 

Devil's Only Friends" or 

"Mr. Christie Makes Good 

Cookies." The debaters are 

not allowed to debate the 

resolution literally. They 

must turn it into something 

which follows along those 

same lines but which interests 

the individual and 

therefore provides for energetic 

and insightful exchange 

of argument. 

The Glebe Debating Society 

would like to thank the 

teachers and guests, including 

Mac Harb and Marlene 

Catterall, who volunteered 

to judge the first three 

rounds. We also appreciate 

the assistance of Mr. Dan 

Adams, our staff advisor, 

in planning a very successful 

tournament and we hope 

that other schools will 

provide similar debating 

opportunities for us in 

the near future.

Mutchmor 

Families on ice 

BY DIANE MCINTYRE 

Twenty centimetres of fresh 

powdery snow and crisp weather 

didn't dampen the spirits 

of Mutchmor families 

who braved the elements and 

came out for an afternoon 

of winter fun at the annual 

Mutchmor Home and School 

skating party on Sunday January 

31st. The event was very 

well organized by Mary and 

Ian Glen who, with a team 

of 15 volunteers, provided 

something for everyone. 

When I arrived at the field 

just after lpm our principal 

Ruth Herrick, her husband 

Dom and an energetic 

team of shovelers were clearing 

the main rink. A group 

was gathered around a blazing 

fire, hotdogs were on the 

grill, hot chocolate was being 

served, colourfully dressed 

student "clowns" were 

handing out candies and 

children were playing in 

the snow. 

Once cleared, the rinks 

sprang to life with skaters 

on the main rink and a boisterous 

game of hockey on 

the other. Children of all 

sizes and skill levels joined 

in the fun - soMe practicing 

spins, learning to skate 

backwards and racing up and 

down. Ice games organized 

by Nancy Savage and Bill 

Hogg included parents who 

tried hard to keep up to 

their children. Mutchmor's

The Senior Kindergarten

the January blahs with a 

Teddy Bear Picnic on Thursday 

January 28. Attended 

by parents, siblings, grandmothers, 

and, of course, 

students and their assorted 

bears, the picnic was a 

culmination of a three-week 

long Teddy Bear theme. During 

this period the children 

had done various 

teddy bear activities including 

counting and sorting 

their teddy bears, making 

teddy bear number booklets 

and lacing teddy bear 

shapes. 

At the picnic the children 

wore teddy bear hats which 

they had designed, and they 

took home party goodies 

in their paper bag teddy 

bears. A teddy bear cake 

created by teacher-aide 

Roxana LaFrance decorated 

the children's food table. 

Guests snacked on treats 

prepared by the children. 

They were entertained 

by an informal concert of 

teddy bear and winter songs.

CHURCH NEWS 

Year of the rooster 

BY REV. DAVID PAN 

We celebrated the New 

Year a week after Christmas. 

But Chinese people 

are celebrating the New 

Year again. January 23rd 

is the Chinese New Year. 

The members of the Chinese 

Bible Church are going to 

have a pot-luck dinner and 

various programs that evening 

in the church. The 

Chinese Community Association 

also offered special 

programs for the public on 

February 6th, in the Nepean 

Civic Square/Theatre. These 

included the lion's dance, 

martial arts demonstrations, 

folk dances, Chinese 

music and painting, and 

noodle stretching demonstration. 

There were exhibits of 

acupuncture equipment, musical 

instruments, evolution 

of the Chinese language, 

industrial products, banquet 

tableware, etc., movies 

on China, Hong Kong and 

Taiwan, children's cartoons, 

storytelling. 

Cultural activities included 

a musical performance 

on the piano, violin 

and Chines é instruments; 

Cantonese opera, Police 

Chorus, Lion Dance, Les 

Petits Ballets, Phoenix 

Dance Troupe, and a variety 

of international dances. 

It is the year of the 

rooster. The rooster is in 

the family of the chicken. 

It is interesting to see how 

English-speaking people use 

the word "chicken." For 

example: chicken-feed, and 

chicken out. I found a 

statement in an English- 

Chinese Dictionary, "Chinese 

people like chicken /better 

than Americans," (than Canadians 

too, I guess). 

It is more interesting to 

see how the Bible records 

"chicken." "0 Jerusalem, 

Jerusalem, 

how 

often I have longed to 

gather your children together, 

as a hen gathers her 

chicks under her wings,----." 

A hen always guides and 

protects her chicks. She dies 

to protect her chicks if it 

is necessary. The loving 

God always guides us, provides 

for us, and protects 

us. He even became a man to 

come to the world to die 

for us, to save us from the 

judgement. 

We also remember that 

Jesus said to Peter, "I tell 

you the truth, this very 

night, before the rooster 

crows, you will disown me 

three times." But Peter 

declared, "Even if I have 

to die with you, I will 

never disown you." And all 

the other disciples said 

the same. Immediately 

a rooster crowed. Then 

Peter remembered the word 

Jesus had spoken: "Before 

the rooster crows, you 

will disown me three times." 

And he went outside and 

wept bitterly. (Matthew 

26:34-35, 74-75) 

It is easy for a Christian 

to think about Peter when he 

hears a rooster crow. But 

it is impossible for people 

who live in a city to hear 

that. Sometimes I miss my 

childhood when I lived on 

my grandparents' farm. A 

rooster crowing can mean the 

dawn is coming, the darkness 

is leaving. It's the time 

to wake up to greet a new 

day. I think the rooster 

can symbolize alertness, 

preciseness, punctuality, 

a new life, a new beginning, 

a new hope and a new joy. 

Any one who repents and 

turns to God can have the 

new life, the new beginning, 

the new hope and the new joy. 

Now we are looking forward 

to Easter. The Chinese 

Christian Singers will be 

presenting the "Olivet to 

Calvary" on April 10 at 

Fourth Avenue Baptist Church 

and on April 11 at The 

Chinese United Church. You 

are more than welcome to 

join us.
