<strong>Glebe</strong> postal service update<br />
BY INEZ BERG<br />
There may soon be a fullservice<br />
postal sub-station<br />
in the <strong>Glebe</strong> to replace the<br />
call-for service which terminated<br />
at Bread and Fruit<br />
January 7th. On that day<br />
Charlie Sohmer stopped receiving<br />
parcels and registered<br />
mail from Canada Post<br />
for <strong>Glebe</strong> residents.<br />
Rent contract negotiations<br />
are in process between<br />
Minto's commercial division<br />
and a Nepean resident, Mr.<br />
Bassam Najam, who is arranging<br />
to set up a sub-post<br />
office and a smoke-shop<br />
operation on the ground<br />
floor of Fifth Avenue Court.<br />
In the interim Canada Post<br />
to 2 PM.<br />
Mr. Claude Longpré of<br />
Canada Post's City Services,<br />
told the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> on<br />
January llth that letter<br />
carriers had continued to<br />
leave cards with Bread and<br />
Fruit's address as the<br />
retrieval point, at <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
homes where delivery of parcels<br />
or registered mail was<br />
not possible. Those items<br />
were returned to Station E<br />
and held there instead of<br />
returning them to 50 Main St.<br />
According to Postmaster<br />
Lucien Desrosiers, pick-up at<br />
Station E was tot offered on<br />
those items. They will be<br />
transferred to the temporary<br />
second level office at<br />
Fifth Avenue Court.<br />
has rented space in the north "<br />
That way,' says Claude<br />
west corner of the second<br />
Longpré, 'people who come<br />
level at Fifth Avenue Court<br />
to Bread and Fruit can be<br />
to provide a temporary callreferred<br />
upstairs to pick up<br />
for service for parcels and<br />
registered mail. Staffed by<br />
a private contractor it will<br />
be open Monday to Wednesday<br />
from 10 AM to 6PM, Thursday<br />
and Friday from 10 AM to<br />
their mail. Leftover mail<br />
and parcels still unclaimed<br />
from Bread and Fruit will be<br />
transferred upstairs as well.<br />
The call-for will be oper-<br />
8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM ational until the sub-postal<br />
station is set up.<br />
He also confirmed that all<br />
the counter services that<br />
are now offered at Station<br />
E, with the exception of<br />
pick-up of parcels and registered<br />
mail, would continue<br />
to be offered at Station E<br />
as well as the new postal<br />
sub-station, when it is<br />
established.<br />
Sub-Post Office<br />
not yet final<br />
However, when last contacted<br />
by the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, Mr.<br />
Najam didn't know what space<br />
he would get. He had been<br />
negotiating with Minto for<br />
the ground floor space occupied<br />
by A Source of Art,<br />
but he was informed by Minto<br />
January llth that they had<br />
received a better offer for<br />
that space from another<br />
business. Though commercial<br />
space is available on the<br />
second level Mr. Najam<br />
claims he cannot operate a<br />
sub-post office or his busi-<br />
ness from such a location.<br />
"Nobody's going to come up<br />
there," he said. "I've got<br />
to be downstairs where people<br />
can see my store and<br />
find it easily. If I can't<br />
work out a deal with Minto<br />
I'm going to look around<br />
for other space in the area."<br />
Mr. Najam, who currently<br />
operates a sub-post office<br />
at L'Esplanade Laurier, had<br />
planned to sell bus tickets<br />
and lottery tickets from his<br />
planned smoke shop operation.<br />
Mr. Tim Johnson of Minto<br />
Commercial says "The only<br />
other ground floor space<br />
available would be a kiosk<br />
in the courtyard. That kind<br />
of space is twice as expensive<br />
as shop space." It is<br />
also subject to city by-laws<br />
which the tenant has to<br />
meet. "We still have about<br />
a week to negotiate," he<br />
said.<br />
In the meantime <strong>Glebe</strong> residents<br />
won't have to go outside<br />
the community to pick<br />
up their parcels and mail.<br />
Former Glebite carries torch<br />
Lorne Dean, 41. son of<br />
Kenneth Dean of 5 Monk Street,<br />
carried the Olympic Torch<br />
to Ottawa City Hall on<br />
Wednesday, December 16th as<br />
part of the cross-country<br />
tour of the Torch to Calgary<br />
for the 1988 Winter Olympics.<br />
Lorne was a former Little<br />
Leager when a resident of<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> and he now lives<br />
in Orleans.<br />

Snowplows cause serious property damage<br />
On the night of December<br />
21st, my husband and I were<br />
awakened by a loud noise<br />
and someone shouting - it<br />
seemed to be emanating from<br />
the public lane beside our<br />
home, which runs between<br />
Kippewa Drive and Madawaska<br />
Drive. On looking out our<br />
bedroom window, we were more<br />
than a little upset to see<br />
an orange city sidewalk<br />
plow, partially in our backyard.<br />
It had sheared off<br />
approximately 20 feet of<br />
chain link fence and our<br />
lovely twenty year old cedar<br />
hedge - also a brand new<br />
lilac tree, planted last<br />
spring, also our neighbour's<br />
fence, which adjoins our<br />
property - to say nothing<br />
of our white wooden fence<br />
at the rear! They finally,<br />
after several hours of<br />
shouting, yelling<br />
and pushing were able to get<br />
it back up onto the laneway -<br />
not much sleep that night!<br />
Now this is the third time<br />
that this has happened in<br />
mdOE<br />
the last few years, so we<br />
are pretty discouraged with<br />
this new, and by far the<br />
worst destruction by city<br />
plows. The fence is immaterial,<br />
but the hedge, I'm<br />
afraid, will never be able<br />
to be replaced satisfactorily.<br />
When one of the city representatives<br />
came out the next<br />
Photo: Mrs. M.L. Walsh<br />
morning, after my husband's<br />
phone call, he was quite<br />
surprised at the horrendous<br />
mess and told me that the<br />
young chap who had driven<br />
the plow was in tears after<br />
the accident - he was not<br />
alone in that respect! I<br />
was too - tears of rage and<br />
frustration over what appears<br />
By: Monica Pine<br />
to be a never-ending situation.<br />
Several years ago the<br />
whole laneway was resurfaced,<br />
and as this city<br />
workman said, it has been<br />
built up too high and not<br />
wide enough and too great a<br />
drop off, particularly on<br />
our side, so that the plows<br />
slide off. This is probably<br />
the case, but it is certainly<br />
not the property owners'<br />
fault and the destruction<br />
will go on and on, if the<br />
laneway is not repaired and<br />
if the plows continue to race<br />
through the lane as they do<br />
at a speed which shakes our<br />
home.<br />
We have written a letter<br />
to Mr. David Curry at City<br />
Hall, who seems to be in<br />
charge of this department in<br />
the hope that something positive<br />
can come out of the<br />
whole thing.<br />
The damage to property<br />
caused by plows must surely<br />
amount to many thousands of<br />
dollars to the City and we<br />
are all paying for this in<br />
our taxes. I can't imagine<br />
that we are the only householders<br />
who have such trouble<br />
with the plows!<br />

Alderman requests answers<br />
Dear Mr. Lander:<br />
Re: Postal Service - Fourth<br />
Avenue<br />
Without notice in approximately<br />
November of this year<br />
residents of Capital Ward and,<br />
in particular, the <strong>Glebe</strong> were<br />
asked to pick up parcels and<br />
registered letters at an address<br />
on Main Street, a considerable<br />
distance from the<br />
Fourth Avenue Post Office.<br />
Partially through telephone<br />
discussions with this office,<br />
your officials subsequently arranged<br />
to have a sub-post office<br />
in Fifth Avenue Court at<br />
the Bread and Fruit food store,<br />
which is managed by<br />
Mr. Charles Sohmer.<br />
However, the services were<br />
limited to the pick-up of parcels,<br />
the sale of stamps but<br />
not special delivery, registered<br />
letters, etc.<br />
Free Estimates<br />
I now understand that Mr. Sohmer<br />
is no longer willing to continue<br />
the service.<br />
I believe the community (and<br />
City authorities) need answers<br />
to the following questions:<br />
Will the Fourth Avenue<br />
Post Office continue to offer<br />
the full range of consumer<br />
postal services?<br />
If not, where and when<br />
will such services be offered,<br />
bearing in mind the need for<br />
equivalent or better ease of<br />
access?<br />
By what process will Canada<br />
Post make such arrangements?<br />
and<br />
Is Canada Post planning to<br />
retain the Fourth Avenue property?<br />
I look forward to an early<br />
reply.<br />

EDITORIAL NOTES<br />
Views expressed in the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> are those of our<br />
contributors.<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> has questions<br />
Canada Post has answers<br />
In November 1987 <strong>Glebe</strong> residents found themselves<br />
in the position of having to collect parcels and<br />
registered mail at 50 Main Street. The service<br />
had, with no previous notice, been discontinued at<br />
Station E on Fourth Avenue.<br />
Many were puzzled by the change and angered at the<br />
inconvenience of the location.<br />
Since then the GZebe <strong>Report</strong> has published five<br />
letters on the subject of the phasing out of counter<br />
services and Canada Post's move to privatization<br />
in general.<br />
We provide a forum and a focus for the community<br />
and we encourage <strong>Glebe</strong> residents to share<br />
their concerns, opinions, information and experiences<br />
with their community via the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>. In this<br />
matter, where a certain amount of confusion and a<br />
lack of information regarding the agenda for postal<br />
service at Station E seems to be the order of the<br />
day, a little more light on some of the details<br />
would be appreciated in the <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />
Worthy of reprinting are the addresses provided in<br />
Brian Jonah's GCA column in our December issue, for<br />
those who wish to write letters to those most<br />
directly responsible. They are: Mr. D. H. Lander,<br />
President, Canada Post Corporation, Sir Alexander<br />
Campbell Building, Confederation Heights, Ottawa,<br />
KlA OB1, or the Honourable Harvie André, Minister,<br />
Consumer and Corporate Affairs, Ottawa, KlA 0C9.<br />
The issue will be discussed at the January 26th<br />
meeting of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association to be<br />
held in the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre.<br />

Post Office<br />
Merchant sums up his experience<br />
BY INEZ BERG<br />
When Charlie Sohmer accepted<br />
his last parcels and<br />
registered mail from Canada<br />
Post January 7th it was with<br />
mixed feelings.<br />
"On the positive side,'<br />
he said, 'I'm glad we did<br />
it. It was good to be able<br />
to help the community out of<br />
a tight spot, especially<br />
over Christmas. And I actually<br />
enjoyed giving people<br />
their parcels and stuff. I<br />
felt like Santa Claus sometimea<br />
That part was fun."<br />
Much of the rest of his<br />
venture serving the public<br />
in Canada Post's stead was<br />
a lot less fun.<br />
"It became obvious to us<br />
fairly early that it was not<br />
a commercially viable arrangement.<br />
We couldn't afford<br />
to operate the service at<br />
Canada Post's commission<br />
of 13% of postal sales.<br />
Our overhead took up most of<br />
that."<br />
Sohmer had applied for<br />
a short-term contract to<br />
operate the call-for service<br />
in early December.<br />
With a training session<br />
of two hours and several<br />
postal manuals, he and his<br />
helper Randi Cherry dealt<br />
with the deluge of Christmas<br />
mail.<br />
'There was<br />
a lot of<br />
confusion'<br />
They soon found themselves<br />
shouldering a lot of consumer<br />
dissatisfaction with<br />
Canada Post's decision to<br />
phase out their pick-up<br />
service. "There was a lot<br />
of confusion, with people<br />
being sent to several places<br />
before finally arriving here<br />
really put-off," said<br />
Sohmer. "It was like suddenly<br />
there was this individual<br />
they could focus all<br />
their hostility towards that<br />
big faceless corporation on,<br />
and they'd just let fly."<br />
Then there was the day two<br />
men came into his store and<br />
accused him of scabbing for<br />
Canada Post and threatened<br />
to discourage customers from<br />
shopping there.<br />
"It was not worth it for<br />
me to stand in the middle<br />
and get it from all sides."<br />
He feels it is unrealistic<br />
for Canada Post to expect<br />
business to offer postal services<br />
at such a low rate of<br />
return when they themselves<br />
cannot overcome their labour<br />
-management standoff to offer<br />
a more efficient service to<br />
the public.<br />
Randi Cherry had this to<br />
say. "At six dollars an<br />
hour I was probably doing<br />
the work of two postal clerks<br />
But I sure have a lot of respect<br />
for the complexity<br />
of their work. I've been<br />
around the world twice. If<br />
everyone in the management<br />
and workers at Canada Post<br />
could see how living conditions<br />
are in the rest of the<br />
world, they'd realize how<br />
lucky we are and try harder<br />
to make this system work."<br />

Farewell to Cub Leader<br />
BY BILL VERNON<br />
On December 15, 1987, the<br />
36th <strong>Glebe</strong> St. James Cub<br />
Pack had a farewell party<br />
for Cub Leader Mark Ziegler,.<br />
who is moving to Vancouver,<br />
B.C. with the Department of<br />
Transport. We invited some<br />
of the former leaders and<br />
friends who were with Mark<br />
in the cub pack. Present<br />
were: the Reverend Jean<br />
Barkley, Eileen McLeod,<br />
past secretary of the church,<br />
Richard Limmert, Joe Courtright,<br />
Nell Keith, Hillary<br />
Horan, Debbie Scarf, Glen<br />
Robinson, Adrian Camfield<br />
and Terry Dale.<br />
The Tuesday night cub pack<br />
presented Mark with a lovely<br />
pen set. After that, coffee,<br />
hot chocolate and cookies<br />
were served.<br />
On December 17, 1987, the<br />
Tuesday and Thursday night<br />
cub packs went carolling<br />
at the Perley Hospital for<br />
patients who were not able<br />
to get home for the Christmas<br />
season. We enjoyed<br />
going through the hallways<br />
singing to everyone. Afterwards<br />
we all went back to<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong>-St. James for wellearned<br />
cookies and hot<br />
chocolate.<br />
New leader<br />
The Thursday night cubs<br />
presented Mark Ziegler with<br />
a Photo Album containing<br />
pictures of some of the<br />
outings taken while he was<br />
a leader with the pack.<br />
Mark enjoyed receiving the<br />
album which brought back<br />
memories of the past. Mark<br />
will be gone for two years.<br />
The cubs and leaders will<br />

I hope everybody will give<br />
Doug their support for the<br />

Being there<br />
BY MEAGAN KATT SHEA<br />
a.k.a. Geranium Mayburger<br />
There are three schools on<br />
Angel Square<br />
The rehearsals were heavy,<br />
the performances were long,<br />
but it was all worthwhile.<br />
We rehearsed for six weeks<br />
at the N.A.C. Atelier before<br />
we moved to the National<br />
Arts Centre. We rehearsed<br />
there for five weeks and<br />
then presented three student<br />
matinees. We did twentythree<br />
performances for the<br />
public from December 17 to<br />
January 2.<br />
There were twenty-two<br />
junior cast members and<br />
eight adult actors. Josh<br />
Lovejoy held down the part<br />
of the lead with Richard<br />
Latour as his understudy.<br />

Three kids from the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
area took part in the play;<br />
Mark Brown, 13, from Glashan,<br />
played Manfred Mahoney, a<br />
tough guy; Jonquil<br />
Garrick, 14, from Canterbury<br />
High School, played Fleurette<br />
Featherstone Fitchell, the<br />
local tart; and Meagan Shea,<br />
12, from Hopewell School,<br />
played a tomboy, Geranium<br />

We all enjoyed ourselves<br />
most of the time, but it was<br />
tiring near the end although<br />
we were all sad to part.<br />

last us a lifetime and it<br />
was a very exciting four<br />
months together.<br />

BY KARI WOLANSKI<br />
Angel Square was terrific.<br />
It was one of the best plays<br />
I've ever seen.<br />
In June the director held<br />
auditions for kids who would<br />
be in grade seven or eight<br />
in the 87-88 school year.<br />
Students who did well went<br />
on to more auditions and<br />
finally the cast and<br />
understudies were chosen.<br />
Angel Square is based on<br />
the book written by Brian<br />
Doyle, an Ottawa author and<br />
Head of the English Department<br />
at <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate.<br />
It is about a boy named<br />
Tommy who lives in Lowertown<br />

GCA<br />
New Year brings new problems for the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
By<br />
G.C.A.<br />
President<br />
Brian<br />
Jonah<br />
Happy New Year to all. I<br />
hope you all survived the<br />
festive season in good<br />
health. I did but just<br />
barely. The sumptuous food<br />
and good cheer start to take<br />
its toll after a while.<br />
As you may know, Bread and<br />
Fruit has decided to give up<br />
the postal service franchise<br />
as soon as another operator<br />
can be found in the <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />
If another business is not<br />
willing to take on the franchise,<br />
then it appears that<br />
residents in the <strong>Glebe</strong> will<br />
again have to make the trek<br />
over to Main St. in order to<br />
pick up registered mail and<br />
parcels that could not be<br />
delivered. Normally, the<br />
GCA does not get involved in<br />
federal issues of this<br />
nature. However, given the<br />
complete failure by Canada<br />
Post to provide adequate service<br />
in the <strong>Glebe</strong>, it is time<br />
for the GCA to become more<br />
actively involved. At the<br />
last Board meeting in November,<br />
postal service was<br />
briefly discussed. At that<br />
time, however, Bread and<br />
Fruit had just agreed to take<br />
on the franchise, so it was<br />
felt that the issue was<br />
resolved. Given the current<br />
turn of events, this issue<br />
will be discussed again at<br />
the next GCA Board meeting<br />
on January 26 with a view<br />
toward a more permanent solution.<br />
If you have any<br />
thoughts on what plan of<br />
action the GCA should adopt,<br />
give me a call at 236-2299.<br />
Task Force presents<br />
recommendations<br />
zones, the separation distance<br />
would be created as an envelope<br />
measuring 300 metres<br />
along the street and 130<br />
metres in the direction of<br />
adjacent streets with the<br />
subject property being in the<br />
centre of this rectangle.<br />
This approach means that there<br />
could be group homes located<br />
every 150 metres along a<br />
street. This separation distance<br />
is not consistent with<br />
the GCA's position that there<br />
should be 300 metres between<br />
facilities and only one per<br />
block.<br />
GCA opposed<br />
to new revisions<br />
At an earlier meeting of<br />
the Task Force, the general<br />
consensus was that the Task<br />
Force would be presenting<br />
options on the maximum number<br />
of residents and the<br />
separation distance in its<br />
report so that the Ottawa<br />
Planning Committee at City<br />
Hall would have a range of<br />
proposals from which to<br />
choose. However this earlier<br />
decision was revoked at the<br />
December meeting and the<br />
above single set of recommendations<br />
was agreed upon,<br />
although not by all the community<br />
representatives who<br />
were outnumbered by the<br />
representatives of the caregivers.<br />
Given the Task<br />
Force's back-tracking on the<br />
options approach and the<br />
disparity between the GCA's<br />
position on separation distance<br />
and that of the Task<br />
Force, our representative on<br />
the Task Force, Frank Porporino,<br />
felt that nothing<br />
more could be accomplished<br />
through working on the Task<br />
Force and hence resigned<br />
from it. I fully support<br />
his decision. This decision<br />
was not taken lightly since<br />
the GCA representative has<br />
invested considerable time<br />
in the Task Force. When the<br />
Task Force presents its<br />
recommendations to Planning<br />
Committee, the GCA will<br />
oppose them unless some corn-<br />

CAPITAL COLUMN<br />
Traffic information for Winterlude<br />
By<br />
Alderman<br />
Rob Quinn<br />
TAX REPRIEVE<br />
Last month's column reported<br />
on Finance Minister Wilson's<br />
sales tax "reform" that, if implemented,<br />
would have substantially<br />
increased municipal expenditures<br />
and thus property<br />
taxes.<br />
Therefore, it is a pleasure<br />
to repeat the recent news that<br />
the Federation of Canadian Municipalities<br />
(FCM) convinced Mr.<br />
Wilson to revise his proposal<br />
so that its final form will result<br />
in no increase for municipal<br />
governments or public sector<br />
institutions like hospitals<br />
or universities.<br />
Ottawa's participation in the<br />
FCM, through the energetic, volunteer<br />
efforts of Alderman Darrel<br />
Kent, a member of the FCM's<br />
board of directors, has proven<br />
to be time and money well invested.<br />
REID REPORT/REGIONAL REVIEW<br />
The December 6th City Council<br />
meeting dealt with the Reid <strong>Report</strong><br />
on the duties and responsibiLities<br />
of the Ottawa mayor<br />
and aldermen and on appropriate<br />
levels of remuneration.<br />
Council decided to institute,<br />
immediately, a severance pay<br />
benefit, subject to provincial<br />
enabling legislation, and a<br />
$200/month transportation allowance,<br />
paid to City department<br />
heads since 1979.<br />
The severance pay benefit is<br />
one month's pay for each year<br />
of service to a maximum of six.<br />
While the severance pay benefit<br />
reflects common practice in<br />
the public and private sectors,<br />
I voted that such a major<br />
change should not come into effect<br />
until the next Council.<br />
Implementation of the transportation<br />
allowance was long<br />
overdue.<br />
However, Council approved the<br />
Quinn/ O'Neill motion to defer<br />
consideration of the major salary<br />
recommendations until the Ontario<br />
Government reacts, likely<br />
in late January or early February,<br />
1988 to the Bartlett report<br />
on representation on the Regional<br />
Council.<br />
Currently, Ottawa elects directly<br />
each of its 16 member City<br />
Council to the Regional Council<br />
of Ottawa-Carleton (RMOC).<br />
Ottawa with 53% of the RMOC population<br />
elects 50% of the 32<br />
seat RMOC Council (plus the<br />
Chairman the Council in turn<br />
elects).<br />
However, taxes are levied according<br />
to assessment and Ottawa's<br />
assessment base accounts<br />
for about two thirds of the property<br />
tax revenue of the RMOC.<br />
At the moment, by population,<br />
some of the other 10 RMOC municipalities<br />
are under or over represented<br />
on the Regional Council.<br />
Ottawa's representation/<br />
population ratio is, at about<br />
19,000,close to average.<br />
Some believe, including Mayor<br />
Durrell, that the RMOC Council<br />
should be composed of persons<br />
separately elected for that<br />
purpose only.<br />
Nevertheless, the December<br />
2nd meeting of the Ottawa Council<br />
strongly approved, I am<br />
glad to report, a motion to<br />
request Queen's Park to continue<br />
the current practice of<br />
electing simultaneously the<br />
Ottawa mayor and aldermen to<br />
the RMOC Council.<br />
The December 16th meeting of<br />
Council voted, unanimously, to<br />
approve the Quinn/O'NeiLl motion<br />
to request the Ontario Government<br />
to maintain the principle<br />
of Ottawa having at least<br />
50% of the RMOC Council seats.<br />
If more seats were given (only)<br />
to other municipaLities, a<br />
majority of counsellors neither<br />
elected by nor accountable to<br />
Ottawa voters could levy taxes<br />
on the preponderant Ottawa assessment.<br />
For more details, please call<br />
the office to request a copy of<br />
my brief to Mr. Bartlett and of<br />
my speech to Council on the<br />
Reid <strong>Report</strong>/Regional Review.<br />
WINTERLUDE 88<br />
The Winterlude traffic coordinating<br />
committee met December 18,<br />
1987 to review arrangements for<br />
Winterlude, Friday, February 5<br />
to Sunday, February 14, 1988.<br />
On this page or elsewhere in<br />
this edition is a map of the<br />
"emergency NO STOPPING routes"<br />
-- permit parkers, please take<br />
note<br />
and of many of the week-<br />
end road closures.<br />
Holmwood, east of Bank, and<br />
Adelaide will again have local<br />
traffic only controls.<br />
For the opening ceremonies on<br />
Friday evening, February 5th,<br />
there will be no public parking<br />
at Lansdowne Park.<br />
There w-ill be publicity to encourage<br />
public transit use that<br />
night in particular. Denise and<br />
I will walk to the Park -- one<br />
of the advantages of living in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />
DOW'S LAKE<br />
Not on the map are the road<br />
closures and parking restrictions<br />
for the DOW'S LAKE area.<br />
Because of the popularity of<br />
the sculptures on the Lake,<br />
past experience dictates that<br />
the no parking restrictions on<br />
both sides of Dow's Lake road-<br />
ways go into effect the weekend<br />
before Winterlude, i.e., January<br />
30-31st, as well as during<br />
the festival weekends.<br />
However, during the week from<br />
Sunday, 11.00 PM to Friday 6.00<br />
PM, the Ottawa Police wiLl not<br />
enforce the Winterlude no parking<br />
restrictions. Of course,<br />
year round no parking signs<br />
remain in force.<br />
As in previous years on the<br />
Winterlude weekends, there will<br />
be "local traffic only" controls<br />
on the streets entering<br />
the Dow's Lake area.<br />
Because traffic and parking<br />
on these weekends has become<br />
so intense, the City, the<br />
NCC and other agencies implement<br />
together these controls in<br />
order to protect public safety<br />
by ensuring clear access.<br />

POST OFFICE BLUES<br />
Municipal politicians are not<br />
supposed to have to get the<br />
mail through. Which brings me<br />
to the first point -- <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
postmaster" Charles Sohmer<br />
manager of Bread and<br />
Fruit is closing his post<br />
office (too bad, he'Ll have to<br />
revert to plain Charlie again)<br />
because of an unsatisfactory arrangement<br />
with Canada Post.<br />
Unsatisfactory is the second<br />
point. The total confusion surrounding<br />
the implementation of<br />
privately-run "consumer" postal<br />
services led people to 50 Main<br />
Street for parcels and other<br />
mail pick-ups.<br />
I have written to the President<br />
to urge prompt action to<br />
improve service and to obtain<br />
information on Canada Post's<br />
intentions for the post office<br />
facility on Fourth Avenue.<br />

Old, new, borrowed and blue<br />
BY JANE WILSON<br />
A New Year brings resolutions<br />
and fresh starts but<br />
as we stand at the threshold<br />
let us remember the<br />
past which leads us to the<br />
present. With this in<br />
mind, I am writing this<br />
column under four subheadings:<br />
Something Old,<br />
Borrowed, New and We're-<br />
Sure-Blue.<br />
Traditions<br />
For me The Messiah and<br />
the Snowflake Special fit<br />
the category of old because<br />
they are <strong>Glebe</strong> traditions.<br />
What would the holiday<br />
season be without them?<br />
Over 500 <strong>Glebe</strong> residents<br />
enjoyed two very different<br />
December evenings. We all<br />
sounded like larks as we<br />
sang The Messiah choruses.<br />
The next weekend, sleigh<br />
rides, carols and entertainment<br />
were the order of the<br />
day as we had another<br />
successful Snowflake Special.<br />
This event is sponsored by<br />
G.N.A.G. as a thank you to<br />
the community for their<br />
support throughout the<br />
year.<br />
My words could not do justice<br />
to the magic that is<br />
the Snowflake Special so now<br />
I must turn to things<br />
borrowed. The musings are<br />
those of Al Noble sprinkled<br />
with poetic license. The<br />
original appeared in The<br />
Giebe <strong>Report</strong> in 1984.<br />
Good eve to the Snowflake! -<br />
the horses,<br />
The baubles strung on the<br />
green tree,<br />
The coursings of musical<br />
courses,<br />
The merryings of merry<br />
Zoubie,<br />
The singings of songs full<br />
melodic,<br />
The pastoral peels of the<br />
bells,<br />
The Dnipro flights, high<br />
and rhapsodic,<br />
The candles that cast<br />
shadowed spells;<br />
The winkings that Hope holds<br />
in tingles,<br />
The pulsings of bongos and<br />
drums,<br />
The beckonings of kettles<br />
and jingles,<br />
The dusks when the dark<br />
Damper comes;<br />
The ice etchings, wondrous<br />
and lacy,<br />
The rousings, the roundings,<br />
and all,<br />
The spiced wine - the palate<br />
run racy,<br />
The snowflakes somehow in<br />
the Hall.<br />
In honour of things new<br />
G.N.A.G. is offering a wonderful<br />
line of new and nearly<br />
new winter courses. Each<br />
course will succeed and have<br />
a permanent home under the<br />
dome only with your support.<br />
If, for example, by day you<br />
are a mature adult but have<br />
a secret desire to improvise<br />
or release any number of<br />
comic characters within,<br />
then a Performance Art<br />
Course is for you. This is<br />
only one of several new<br />
courses being offered at<br />
the Community Centre.<br />
Please check the centre<br />
page of this issue of The<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> and sign up<br />
for a course under the Preschool,<br />
Children, Youth or<br />
Adult categories. Registration<br />
will take place on<br />
January 20 and 21 from<br />
7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at<br />
the Centre. A course at<br />
your Community Centre is<br />
just what the doctor ordered<br />
to beat the winter blues.<br />
G.N.A.G.'s proud to begin<br />
the New Year by welcoming<br />
two members to the executive<br />
- Audrey Apps and Nancy<br />
Solman.<br />
After a brief hiatus<br />
Audrey will lend her talents<br />
to several key areas of<br />
interest to G.N.A.G. Welcome<br />
back Audrey, G.N.A.G.<br />
is lucky to know you.<br />
Nancy will assume the<br />
communications portfolio<br />
for G.N.A.G. This is no<br />
small task for an active<br />
Community Centre. Putting<br />
pen to paper will forever<br />
be creative in the hands of<br />
this Renaissance Woman.<br />

Sadly, we must say goodbye<br />
to Jill Strachan, the<br />
Chairperson of G.N.A.G.<br />
Jill has been a tireless<br />
and enthusiastic supporter<br />
of Community Centre activities<br />
both as a participant<br />
and an administrator.<br />
A warm thank you and a<br />
wish for health and happiness<br />
go with you Jill as<br />
you make your new home in<br />

Knelman reviews our film industry<br />
BOOKS<br />
By<br />
Sharon<br />
Drache<br />
HOME MOVIES<br />
By Martin Knelman<br />
Tales from the Canadian Film<br />
World,<br />
Key Porter Books, 248 pages<br />
$22.95 (cloth)<br />
Gossip and sobriety is a<br />
curious combination; add to<br />
it Martin Knelman's competence<br />
in evaluating the<br />
current state of the Canadian<br />
film industry and the reader<br />
is left with a smug but<br />
rather confident conclusion<br />
affirming that Canadian films<br />
like so much of our cultural<br />
heritage are part of a magnanimous<br />
cottage industry<br />
held together and funded by<br />
the federal government.<br />
In a chatty style, Knelman<br />
rightly calls the book Home<br />
Movies; our successes are<br />
clearly ours, not Hollywood's,<br />
though many of our great filmmakers<br />
have spent time proving<br />
themselves south of the<br />
border. "The unofficial godfather<br />
in Hollywood's<br />
Canadian film club " is<br />
Norman Jewison. He commutes<br />
to his home in Caledon East,<br />
north of Toronto. In<br />
Jewison's own words: "I<br />
came home to Canada in 1978.<br />
In search of my roots. I<br />
shot Agnes of God in Quebec,<br />
Montreal and Toronto. In<br />
film, timing is everything.<br />
It's the same with airlines.<br />
I'm probably one of the most<br />
frequent flyers on Air Canada<br />
flight 791 to Los Angeles.<br />
I call it the California<br />
Connection."<br />
There doesn't seem to be<br />
much more than air tickets<br />
and a fat pocketbook luring<br />
Jewison constantly back to<br />
Los Angeles, one of the two<br />
arm pits of the United<br />
States. He appears compelled<br />
by Mammon, not art;<br />
yet, when he wants to fill<br />
his mind and soul, he's<br />
where he belongs, back home.<br />
Perhaps more topical than<br />
readers care to think in<br />
view of our current Free<br />
Trade agreement, Knelman<br />
dwells considerably on the<br />
history of the National Film<br />
Board, the Canadian Film<br />
Corporation and Telefilm<br />
Canada. In 1983, when<br />
Trudeau appointed nationalist<br />
film maker, Peter<br />
Pearson as President of<br />
Telefilm Canada, he miraculously<br />
transformed a talented<br />
artist into an eminent film<br />
bureaucrat. "As head of<br />
Telefilm Canada, Pearson has<br />
become the only Canadian<br />
with the kind of power<br />
associated with a boss of a<br />
Hollywood Studio." Millions<br />
of dollars were made available<br />
through a new broadcast<br />
fund and the new rules were<br />
set out. However this<br />
funding relied on the simultaneous<br />
creation of films for<br />
movies and television, what<br />
Knelman terms "mixing media."<br />
This awkward arrangement<br />
lasted until 1986 when the<br />
Conservatives spearheaded<br />
by Marcel Masse, then<br />
Minister of Communications,<br />
gave the industry another<br />
incentive, the $33 million<br />
a year feature film fund.<br />
In short our Canadian film<br />
industry is clearly funded<br />
by the feds.<br />
We do however have one<br />
eminent entrepreneur who<br />
Knelman postulates may<br />
well turn out to be the<br />
first private owner of a<br />
major Canadian movie stu-<br />
dio. Garth Drabinsky,<br />
owner of Cineplex Odeon, is<br />
an ex-film maker. He produced<br />
6 movies between<br />
1978 and 1982. In a chapter<br />
entitled "The World<br />
According to Garth", Knelman<br />
candidly discloses Drabinsky's<br />
backing by Edgar<br />
and Charles Bronfman (Cemp<br />
Investments Ltd. of Montreal)<br />
who are major<br />
investors in Cineplex<br />
Odeon which began in 1983<br />
with the purchase of the<br />
Odeon movie theatre chain.<br />
By 1984, Cineplex reported<br />
a twelve million dollar<br />
profit and Drabinsky was<br />
ready to challenge the<br />
biggest Canadian entertainment<br />
dynasty, U.S.<br />
controlled Famous Players.<br />
Drabinsky has not looked<br />
back since, except perhaps<br />
on Black Monday, 1987.<br />
Devotion of Canadian film<br />
makers to their own mythologies<br />
is clearly evidenced<br />
by discussion of several of<br />
our best producers, among<br />
them: Claude Jutra (to<br />
whom the book is dedicated),<br />
Ted Kotcheff and Phillip<br />
Boros. While Knelman<br />
claims that Canadian films<br />
have come of age with such<br />
N<br />
movies as My American<br />
Cousin, I've Heard the<br />
Mermaids Singing and The<br />
Decline of the American<br />
Empire, he clearly indicates<br />
that the ripe and<br />
obvious source to tap is<br />
Canadian literature.<br />

ART<br />
Dalai<br />
BY ELLEN SCHOWALTER<br />
"So how do you like the<br />
paintings", quizzed the tiny<br />
vibrant artist as she came<br />
out from behind the desk at<br />
A Source of Art Gallery in<br />
Fifth Avenue Court.<br />
The reviewer flinchedlooking<br />
at art is a contemplative,<br />
private act- right?<br />
Dalal Chuaqui's style in<br />
art and life is direct engagement.<br />
One does not escape<br />
with a mumbled "very nice,<br />
very interesting." Dalal requires,<br />
even demands more<br />
from the viewer.<br />
Intense and dynamic, she<br />
states; "Painting has become<br />
for me, as vital a necessity<br />
as it is to sleep,<br />
eat, or just to live. I am<br />
attracted by contrast of<br />
violent colours, games of<br />
light and shadow. I feel the<br />
strength of dramatic mixtures.<br />
I am interested in the<br />
depth of objects, to go<br />
further than just a surface<br />
image."<br />
Dalal Chuaqui was born in<br />
Santiago, Chile, in 1928.<br />
She entered the University<br />
of Chile School of Bellas<br />
Artes, where she studied<br />
with the well-known Spanish<br />
painter Augusto Eguiluz<br />
and the Chilean painter<br />
Gustavo Carrasco. After<br />
graduation she concentrated<br />
on the study of lifedrawing.<br />
In 1954 she joined "Sara<br />
del Campo",a group of painters,<br />
writers, sculptors,<br />
dancers and ceramists. During<br />
this period of time she<br />
exhibited frequently in both<br />
group and solo shows.<br />
In 1970 Dalal left Chile<br />
for West Germany, where she<br />
became interested in painting<br />
from nature. She was able to<br />
visit the great galleries of<br />
Europe .<br />
Her paintings "The Line-up"<br />
"The Red Building", "The Bus<br />
Depot" and "The Laundry Room"<br />
show a strong influence of<br />
German Expressionism in their<br />
unsentimental but empathetic<br />
depiction of everyday life.<br />
Logically enough, one can<br />
see a Spanish influence too.<br />
Elongated forms, twisting<br />
flame-like shapes and flickering<br />
lights along with a<br />
somewhat acid yellow/blue/<br />
orange palette recall El<br />
Greco and Zurbaran. Small<br />
paintings such as "Pears",<br />
"Walnuts", and "Garlic"<br />
follow the Spanish tradition<br />
of still life painting exemplified<br />
by Sanchez Cotan.<br />
In 1972 Dalal moved to<br />
Canada, settling in Regina.<br />
Her compelling painting "The<br />
Laundry Room" captures the<br />

" The Laundry Room", "The<br />

urban genre paintings<br />
strongly recall the work of<br />
the Canadian, Paraskeva<br />
Clark.<br />
Keenly interested in portraiture,<br />
Dalal has fulfilled<br />
many commissions in both<br />
Chile and Canada. "Broken<br />
Mirror #3" is a powerful<br />
and perceptive reflection of<br />
a middle-aged woman facing<br />
a broken mirror, her image<br />
split and fragmented, but<br />
her large, muscular, competent<br />
hands in the foreground<br />
hold the painting together.<br />
Kaleidoscope-like, the<br />
separate sections combine<br />
and re-combine in a very<br />
moving way.<br />
Since moving to Ottawa in<br />
1978, Dalal has been an active<br />
member of the Ottawa Art<br />
Association. She took first<br />
prize in its annual show<br />
for three consecutive years<br />
(1982-1984), and has participated<br />
regularly in Ottawa<br />
Women's Credit Union shows.<br />
Now, for the first time in<br />
her life, she is able to work<br />
full time at her painting,<br />
portrait commissions and<br />
teaching<br />
Intense, passionate<br />
and direct, Dalal Chuaqui<br />
lights a welcome fire in the<br />
cool post-post-modern city.<br />

OBSERVATION POST<br />
Development of the core<br />
piecemeal<br />
BY COURTNEY BOND<br />
The central core of Ottawa<br />
is undergoing great development<br />
of a piecemeal nature.<br />
New buildings have been added,<br />
new ones are arising,<br />
new ones are planned. In a<br />
recent study OC Transpo projected<br />
growth of employment<br />
in the core over the years<br />
to 2005 at 27%. But it's<br />
not only employment that is<br />
growing there; residential<br />
occupancy is increasing too.<br />
Accounting from east to<br />
west, the following new<br />
structures have been added<br />
in the last five years.<br />
These are numbered on the<br />
map.<br />

Farther west major residential<br />

If the Anglicans and<br />
Lutherans get their way with<br />
City Council this residential<br />
enclave will be shut in<br />
by a wall of office buildings<br />
to the north, making for more<br />
dead streets at night, heavy<br />
traffic during the day.<br />
The West Quadrant Plan of<br />
1980 projected, rather, lower<br />
residential buildings on the<br />
church block, with a gradual<br />
increase of height to the<br />
south. By-Law 291 of 1984<br />
was the zoning mechanism<br />
intended to implement this.<br />
Now, development-minded members<br />
of Council want to substitute<br />
a new by-law which<br />
may well give the churches<br />
their way, both in terms of<br />
land-use and permitted<br />
height.<br />

permit a degradation of the<br />
generally human scale of this<br />
corner of the city, but it<br />
would totally destroy the<br />
appearance of this Western<br />
Portal by permitting tall,<br />
out-of-scale structures<br />
springing from the high<br />
ground to dominate what would<br />
be a jagged, ugly skyline.<br />
Ottawa's centre has developed<br />
as an area of narrow<br />
streets, overwhellaing buildings,<br />
"wind-tunnels", with<br />
a scarcity of trees, squares<br />

oppressive, stifling to the<br />
human spirit.<br />
Let us hope that the members<br />

come to consider this by-law,<br />
will hark back to the vision<br />
of 1980.<br />

SCHOOL NEWS<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> students protest OC tare increases<br />
BY MARK ROBERTSON<br />
A group of <strong>Glebe</strong> students<br />
(numbering around fifteen)<br />
boarded a Number 6 bus outside<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate Institute<br />
on December 10th at<br />
noon and refused to pay the<br />
fare. They were protesting<br />
the upcoming six percent<br />
fare hike. Their reasons<br />
for such an action were out<br />
of desperation since a set of<br />
of petitions protesting the<br />
last major fare hike went<br />
unresponded to by OC Transpo.<br />
The most that was left in<br />
the collection box was ten<br />
cents. Ten minutes after<br />
the students boarded the bus,<br />
four OC Transpo ticket<br />
inspector cars rolled in<br />
behind. Four ticket inspectors<br />
boarded the bus and<br />
ordered the protesters to<br />
disembark. Cole Rheaume<br />
challenged their authority<br />
to do so.. The ticket inspector<br />
told him to "shut up",<br />
and eventually Rheaume told<br />
the ticket inspector to<br />
"shut up".<br />
I attempted to photograph<br />
a ticket inspector on the<br />
bus from outside. Before I<br />
was able to do so he held<br />
his hand out in front of<br />
my camera. He threatened<br />
to sue me if a photograph<br />
of him was published.<br />
The protesters disembarked<br />
to continue the conflict<br />
outside the bus. They joined<br />
a crowd of observers. Cole<br />
Rheaume led the argument<br />
with three OC Transpo ticket<br />

inspectors. They informed<br />
Rheaume that he alone might<br />
be charged. Rheaume did<br />
not believe that they had<br />
the power to single him out.<br />
The ticket inspectors explained<br />
that, because he was<br />
the voice of the demonstration,<br />
they had the right to<br />
choose to charge him.<br />
The ticket inspectors<br />
retiredto confer, and about<br />
ten minutes later visited<br />
the principal's office.<br />
Rheaume was called to the<br />
main office, and after waiting<br />
a few minutes, was asked<br />
to enter the principal's<br />
office. I asked the princi-<br />
Photo: Mark Robertson<br />
pal if I could take notes.<br />
"As far as I'm concerned<br />
I'm not having any reporter,"<br />
he replied.<br />
Whereupon Rheaume refused<br />
to be involved in any further<br />
discourse because, as he<br />
said, all technicalities<br />
had been revealed on<br />
the street before a<br />
Citizen and a student reporter<br />
on the street.<br />
The Principal Mr. Harvie<br />
explained in an interview<br />
that he had no previous<br />
knowledge of the protest. He<br />
accepted the ticket inspectors'<br />
right to seek to have<br />
the way it works in our<br />
society," he explained.<br />
Mr. Joyal (a Vice Principal)<br />
disagreed with the means of<br />
protest. "It's unfortunate;<br />
the other passengers may have<br />
had emergencies," he said.<br />
I asked Mr. Stitt, a law<br />
teacher, if it is legal to<br />
charge one person in such<br />
a protest. "It's up to the<br />
police's discretion to charge<br />
whomever they want, if they<br />
don't feel that the others<br />
were a threat to safety."<br />
The charge would be causing<br />
a disturbance.<br />
I questioned Mr. Cummings<br />
(a Physical Education teacher<br />
teacher) on his opinion of<br />
the fare hike. "All they're<br />
going to do is keep raising<br />
the fare and less people<br />
will be using it. It's<br />
going to become a 'white<br />
elephant.' They've got<br />
this grandiose scheme. It's<br />
going to affect us because<br />
the sporting teams use the<br />
bus. We're going to use<br />
some other means of transportation."<br />
Rheaume hopes to raise<br />
greater numbers of protesters<br />
for a future protest.<br />

Student Correspondent from<br />
one person charged. "That's GZebe Collegiate.<br />

Provincial Share of Financing Education in<br />
Ontario has dropped from 61.3% in 1975 to<br />
42.7% in 1987. Atthough dollars come from one<br />
source only (us!!) the local tax burden is becoming<br />
unbearable. We need relief from property<br />
taxes ... particularly in Centretown, the <strong>Glebe</strong> and<br />
Ottawa South. Otherwise many of us will be<br />
obliged to leave Ottawa centre and this would be<br />
the start of urban decay. The present Government<br />
of Ontario has made a commitment to fund<br />
60% of approved educational costs. We look<br />
forward to such in Ottawa centre.<br />

Help the Aged opens new office in Fifth Ave. Court<br />
BY SYLVIA GREENSPOON<br />
Help the Aged, a non-profit<br />
organization which raises<br />
money for the elderly, recently<br />
opened a new office on<br />
the second floor of Fifth<br />
Avenue Court. Cecil Jackson<br />
Cole, the founder of Oxfam,<br />
started Help the Aged in<br />
1962 in England. The Canadian<br />
operation opened in 1975<br />
and is the only registered<br />
agency in Canada which concerns<br />
itself with the needs<br />
of old people on a global<br />
basis. Through the Adopta-Gran<br />
program, sponsors<br />
help feed and provide medical<br />
care for the disabled<br />
elderly in India, Sri Lanka,<br />
Haiti and many other countries.<br />
Supporters in Canada<br />
include a high proportion of<br />
seniors ana many prominent<br />
figures including former<br />
Prime Minister Pierre Elliot<br />
Trudeau. Canadian donations<br />
in 1987 totalled $338,454.<br />
Last year, over $15,000 went<br />
to the Alzheimers Society<br />
of Canada.<br />
Moved by devotion<br />
of workers<br />
Betty Gittens, Chairperson<br />
of Help the Aged, Canada,<br />
speaks with enthusiasm about<br />
her own involvement over the<br />
past year. She has recently<br />
returned from Dominica, a<br />
small island in the Carribean<br />
between Guadaloupe and<br />
Martinique, where she personally<br />
visited 30 of the<br />
adopted grans and learned<br />
how the funds were being<br />
used. Despite the impoverished<br />
living conditions of<br />
a large number of the abandoned<br />
elderly, Betty was<br />
impressed by the gratitude<br />
that was expressed and moved<br />
by the dedication of the<br />
workers and Sisters who make<br />
their way daily along treacherously<br />
steep and winding<br />
roads to the remote dwellings<br />
of the elderly.<br />
The two helping organizations<br />
which care for the<br />
elderly and distribute funding<br />
in Dominica are<br />
R.E.A.C.H. (Reach Elderly<br />
Abandoned Citizens Housebound)<br />
and Sisters of I.C.M.<br />
(Immaculate Conception of<br />
Mary). Their duties include<br />
making trips to the elderly's<br />
houses, cleaning and bathing,<br />
which involves carrying water<br />
from other sources since<br />
there is no indoor plumbing.<br />
They also feed and give<br />
physio and occupational<br />
therapy to the disabled.<br />
Three R.E.A.C.H. workers<br />
and one driver are able to<br />
care for nine elderly a day.<br />
There are 66 Dominican<br />

CHURCH NEWS<br />
January 1988<br />
BY NEIL HUNTER<br />
January of every year is<br />
significant in two very different<br />
ways. On the campus<br />
of Carleton University students<br />
are returning after<br />
their Christmas break, to the<br />
ice and snow of Ottawa and<br />
the long winter semester.<br />
Once again it's back to the<br />
books, essays, term papers<br />
and mid-term exams on the<br />
way to finals in April. We<br />
in the chaplaincies identify<br />
with the concerns and needs<br />
of the University community<br />
by providing worship, programmes,<br />
and a friendly<br />
listening ear. The quietness<br />
of Christmas has given way<br />
to the challenge and demand<br />
of these winter months and<br />
the Campus is once again<br />
alive with the energetic<br />
movement of the approximately<br />
20,000 occupants.<br />
But January is also the<br />
month when most churches<br />
participate in the Week of<br />
Prayer for Christian Unity.<br />
This takes place between<br />
January 24th and January 31st<br />
The theme, "The Love of God<br />
Casts Out Fear", serves to<br />
inform all of us that God<br />
enters our life to show us<br />
the full dimensions of His<br />
love so that we, in turn,<br />
can understand and share<br />
His love. The love of God<br />
is not something that creates<br />
fear or anxiety in us.<br />
Rather it empowers us to<br />
overcome our natural inclination<br />
to run from the difficulties<br />
and complexities<br />
of life. The Week of Prayer<br />
for Christian Unity provides<br />
an opportunity for prayer,<br />
that Christians everywhere<br />
can pray for the whole church<br />
and for each other so that<br />
all may be centred in their<br />
efforts to bring peace and<br />
justice to our world. The<br />
Week of Prayer helps all<br />
Christians to acknowledge<br />
the need to pray for all<br />
people and particularly to<br />
pray for the courage to<br />
work together for the betterment<br />
of all humanity.<br />
The churches in the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
will be holding special services<br />
during the Week of<br />
Prayer for Christian Unity<br />
with a pulpit exchange between<br />
the churches on January<br />
17th. Please check the<br />
church advertisements in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> for further<br />
information.<br />
We in the chaplaincy at<br />
Carleton University count<br />
it a privilege to serve both<br />
on the campus and in the<br />
community and we do hope that<br />
1988 will be a Happy and<br />
Challenging New Year for one<br />
and all.<br />
NeiZ Hunter is the<br />
Protestant Chaplain at<br />
Carleton University<br />
Lay School of Theology<br />
BY R. J. WILSON<br />
One of the successful<br />
examples of the attempt to<br />
bring Christians together<br />
has been the Lay School of<br />
Theology. Although it is<br />
sponsored by the Anglican,<br />
United and Presbyterian<br />
churches of the city, its<br />
faculty and students<br />
represent every branch of<br />
the church. For twentyfour<br />
years it has filled a<br />
truly ecumenical role of<br />
Christian education in this<br />
city. The school has the<br />
distinction of being the<br />
oldest and we think the<br />
most successful in Canada.<br />
Registration for the start<br />
of the winter term will be<br />
Monday, January 18, 1988<br />
at Knox Church, Elgin and<br />
Lisgar Streets. The term<br />
offers a wide range of subjects<br />
from Early Christian<br />
Art, the Bible and Social<br />
Ethics through an analysis of<br />
the Gospel of St. Luke to<br />
Creation Theology and<br />
Matthew Fox. Everyone who<br />
is interested in spiritual<br />
matters will find something<br />
to his liking - a golden<br />
opportunity to gain insights<br />
into the non-material<br />
aspects of modern society.<br />
The fee of $25.00 for ten<br />
lectures ($5.00 for students)<br />
is probably the greatest<br />
bargain in special education<br />
offered in Ottawa. In<br />
addition you are assured of<br />
a warm welcome, stimulating<br />
lectures and lively discussion.<br />
