Glebe postal service update 

BY INEZ BERG 

There may soon be a fullservice 

postal sub-station 

in the Glebe to replace the 

call-for service which terminated 

at Bread and Fruit 

January 7th. On that day 

Charlie Sohmer stopped receiving 

parcels and registered 

mail from Canada Post 

for Glebe residents. 

Rent contract negotiations 

are in process between 

Minto's commercial division 

and a Nepean resident, Mr. 

Bassam Najam, who is arranging 

to set up a sub-post 

office and a smoke-shop 

operation on the ground 

floor of Fifth Avenue Court. 

In the interim Canada Post 

to 2 PM. 

Mr. Claude Longpré of 

Canada Post's City Services, 

told the Glebe Report on 

January llth that letter 

carriers had continued to 

leave cards with Bread and 

Fruit's address as the 

retrieval point, at Glebe 

homes where delivery of parcels 

or registered mail was 

not possible. Those items 

were returned to Station E 

and held there instead of 

returning them to 50 Main St. 

According to Postmaster 

Lucien Desrosiers, pick-up at 

Station E was tot offered on 

those items. They will be 

transferred to the temporary 

second level office at 

Fifth Avenue Court. 

has rented space in the north " 

That way,' says Claude 

west corner of the second 

Longpré, 'people who come 

level at Fifth Avenue Court 

to Bread and Fruit can be 

to provide a temporary callreferred 

upstairs to pick up 

for service for parcels and 

registered mail. Staffed by 

a private contractor it will 

be open Monday to Wednesday 

from 10 AM to 6PM, Thursday 

and Friday from 10 AM to 

their mail. Leftover mail 

and parcels still unclaimed 

from Bread and Fruit will be 

transferred upstairs as well. 

The call-for will be oper- 

8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM ational until the sub-postal 

station is set up. 

He also confirmed that all 

the counter services that 

are now offered at Station 

E, with the exception of 

pick-up of parcels and registered 

mail, would continue 

to be offered at Station E 

as well as the new postal 

sub-station, when it is 

established. 

Sub-Post Office 

not yet final 

However, when last contacted 

by the Glebe Report, Mr. 

Najam didn't know what space 

he would get. He had been 

negotiating with Minto for 

the ground floor space occupied 

by A Source of Art, 

but he was informed by Minto 

January llth that they had 

received a better offer for 

that space from another 

business. Though commercial 

space is available on the 

second level Mr. Najam 

claims he cannot operate a 

sub-post office or his busi- 

ness from such a location. 

"Nobody's going to come up 

there," he said. "I've got 

to be downstairs where people 

can see my store and 

find it easily. If I can't 

work out a deal with Minto 

I'm going to look around 

for other space in the area." 

Mr. Najam, who currently 

operates a sub-post office 

at L'Esplanade Laurier, had 

planned to sell bus tickets 

and lottery tickets from his 

planned smoke shop operation. 

Mr. Tim Johnson of Minto 

Commercial says "The only 

other ground floor space 

available would be a kiosk 

in the courtyard. That kind 

of space is twice as expensive 

as shop space." It is 

also subject to city by-laws 

which the tenant has to 

meet. "We still have about 

a week to negotiate," he 

said. 

In the meantime Glebe residents 

won't have to go outside 

the community to pick 

up their parcels and mail. 

Former Glebite carries torch 

Lorne Dean, 41. son of 

Kenneth Dean of 5 Monk Street, 

carried the Olympic Torch 

to Ottawa City Hall on 

Wednesday, December 16th as 

part of the cross-country 

tour of the Torch to Calgary 

for the 1988 Winter Olympics. 

Lorne was a former Little 

Leager when a resident of 

the Glebe and he now lives 

in Orleans. 

Quote of the Month: 

Neither the past, nor the 

future, but the present alone 

is the oasis at which one 

can drink the water of life.

LETTERS 

Snowplows cause serious property damage 

On the night of December 

21st, my husband and I were 

awakened by a loud noise 

and someone shouting - it 

seemed to be emanating from 

the public lane beside our 

home, which runs between 

Kippewa Drive and Madawaska 

Drive. On looking out our 

bedroom window, we were more 

than a little upset to see 

an orange city sidewalk 

plow, partially in our backyard. 

It had sheared off 

approximately 20 feet of 

chain link fence and our 

lovely twenty year old cedar 

hedge - also a brand new 

lilac tree, planted last 

spring, also our neighbour's 

fence, which adjoins our 

property - to say nothing 

of our white wooden fence 

at the rear! They finally, 

after several hours of 

shouting, yelling 

and pushing were able to get 

it back up onto the laneway - 

not much sleep that night! 

Now this is the third time 

that this has happened in 

mdOE 

the last few years, so we 

are pretty discouraged with 

this new, and by far the 

worst destruction by city 

plows. The fence is immaterial, 

but the hedge, I'm 

afraid, will never be able 

to be replaced satisfactorily. 

When one of the city representatives 

came out the next 

Photo: Mrs. M.L. Walsh 

morning, after my husband's 

phone call, he was quite 

surprised at the horrendous 

mess and told me that the 

young chap who had driven 

the plow was in tears after 

the accident - he was not 

alone in that respect! I 

was too - tears of rage and 

frustration over what appears 

By: Monica Pine 

to be a never-ending situation. 

Several years ago the 

whole laneway was resurfaced, 

and as this city 

workman said, it has been 

built up too high and not 

wide enough and too great a 

drop off, particularly on 

our side, so that the plows 

slide off. This is probably 

the case, but it is certainly 

not the property owners' 

fault and the destruction 

will go on and on, if the 

laneway is not repaired and 

if the plows continue to race 

through the lane as they do 

at a speed which shakes our 

home. 

We have written a letter 

to Mr. David Curry at City 

Hall, who seems to be in 

charge of this department in 

the hope that something positive 

can come out of the 

whole thing. 

The damage to property 

caused by plows must surely 

amount to many thousands of 

dollars to the City and we 

are all paying for this in 

our taxes. I can't imagine 

that we are the only householders 

who have such trouble 

with the plows!

Alderman requests answers 

Dear Mr. Lander: 

Re: Postal Service - Fourth 

Avenue 

Without notice in approximately 

November of this year 

residents of Capital Ward and, 

in particular, the Glebe were 

asked to pick up parcels and 

registered letters at an address 

on Main Street, a considerable 

distance from the 

Fourth Avenue Post Office. 

Partially through telephone 

discussions with this office, 

your officials subsequently arranged 

to have a sub-post office 

in Fifth Avenue Court at 

the Bread and Fruit food store, 

which is managed by 

Mr. Charles Sohmer. 

However, the services were 

limited to the pick-up of parcels, 

the sale of stamps but 

not special delivery, registered 

letters, etc. 

Free Estimates 

I now understand that Mr. Sohmer 

is no longer willing to continue 

the service. 

I believe the community (and 

City authorities) need answers 

to the following questions: 

Will the Fourth Avenue 

Post Office continue to offer 

the full range of consumer 

postal services? 

If not, where and when 

will such services be offered, 

bearing in mind the need for 

equivalent or better ease of 

access? 

By what process will Canada 

Post make such arrangements? 

and 

Is Canada Post planning to 

retain the Fourth Avenue property? 

I look forward to an early 

reply. 

Yours sincerely,

EDITORIAL NOTES 

Views expressed in the Glebe Report are those of our 

contributors. 

Glebe has questions 

Canada Post has answers 

In November 1987 Glebe residents found themselves 

in the position of having to collect parcels and 

registered mail at 50 Main Street. The service 

had, with no previous notice, been discontinued at 

Station E on Fourth Avenue. 

Many were puzzled by the change and angered at the 

inconvenience of the location. 

Since then the GZebe Report has published five 

letters on the subject of the phasing out of counter 

services and Canada Post's move to privatization 

in general. 

We provide a forum and a focus for the community 

and we encourage Glebe residents to share 

their concerns, opinions, information and experiences 

with their community via the Glebe Report. In this 

matter, where a certain amount of confusion and a 

lack of information regarding the agenda for postal 

service at Station E seems to be the order of the 

day, a little more light on some of the details 

would be appreciated in the Glebe. 

Worthy of reprinting are the addresses provided in 

Brian Jonah's GCA column in our December issue, for 

those who wish to write letters to those most 

directly responsible. They are: Mr. D. H. Lander, 

President, Canada Post Corporation, Sir Alexander 

Campbell Building, Confederation Heights, Ottawa, 

KlA OB1, or the Honourable Harvie André, Minister, 

Consumer and Corporate Affairs, Ottawa, KlA 0C9. 

The issue will be discussed at the January 26th 

meeting of the Glebe Community Association to be 

held in the Glebe Community Centre.

Post Office 

Merchant sums up his experience 

BY INEZ BERG 

When Charlie Sohmer accepted 

his last parcels and 

registered mail from Canada 

Post January 7th it was with 

mixed feelings. 

"On the positive side,' 

he said, 'I'm glad we did 

it. It was good to be able 

to help the community out of 

a tight spot, especially 

over Christmas. And I actually 

enjoyed giving people 

their parcels and stuff. I 

felt like Santa Claus sometimea 

That part was fun." 

Much of the rest of his 

venture serving the public 

in Canada Post's stead was 

a lot less fun. 

"It became obvious to us 

fairly early that it was not 

a commercially viable arrangement. 

We couldn't afford 

to operate the service at 

Canada Post's commission 

of 13% of postal sales. 

Our overhead took up most of 

that." 

Sohmer had applied for 

a short-term contract to 

operate the call-for service 

in early December. 

With a training session 

of two hours and several 

postal manuals, he and his 

helper Randi Cherry dealt 

with the deluge of Christmas 

mail. 

'There was 

a lot of 

confusion' 

They soon found themselves 

shouldering a lot of consumer 

dissatisfaction with 

Canada Post's decision to 

phase out their pick-up 

service. "There was a lot 

of confusion, with people 

being sent to several places 

before finally arriving here 

really put-off," said 

Sohmer. "It was like suddenly 

there was this individual 

they could focus all 

their hostility towards that 

big faceless corporation on, 

and they'd just let fly." 

Then there was the day two 

men came into his store and 

accused him of scabbing for 

Canada Post and threatened 

to discourage customers from 

shopping there. 

"It was not worth it for 

me to stand in the middle 

and get it from all sides." 

He feels it is unrealistic 

for Canada Post to expect 

business to offer postal services 

at such a low rate of 

return when they themselves 

cannot overcome their labour 

-management standoff to offer 

a more efficient service to 

the public. 

Randi Cherry had this to 

say. "At six dollars an 

hour I was probably doing 

the work of two postal clerks 

But I sure have a lot of respect 

for the complexity 

of their work. I've been 

around the world twice. If 

everyone in the management 

and workers at Canada Post 

could see how living conditions 

are in the rest of the 

world, they'd realize how 

lucky we are and try harder 

to make this system work."

Farewell to Cub Leader 

BY BILL VERNON 

On December 15, 1987, the 

36th Glebe St. James Cub 

Pack had a farewell party 

for Cub Leader Mark Ziegler,. 

who is moving to Vancouver, 

B.C. with the Department of 

Transport. We invited some 

of the former leaders and 

friends who were with Mark 

in the cub pack. Present 

were: the Reverend Jean 

Barkley, Eileen McLeod, 

past secretary of the church, 

Richard Limmert, Joe Courtright, 

Nell Keith, Hillary 

Horan, Debbie Scarf, Glen 

Robinson, Adrian Camfield 

and Terry Dale. 

The Tuesday night cub pack

There are three schools on 

Angel Square 

The rehearsals were heavy, 

the performances were long, 

but it was all worthwhile. 

We rehearsed for six weeks 

at the N.A.C. Atelier before 

we moved to the National 

Arts Centre. We rehearsed 

there for five weeks and 

then presented three student 

matinees. We did twentythree 

performances for the 

public from December 17 to 

January 2. 

There were twenty-two 

junior cast members and 

eight adult actors. Josh 

Lovejoy held down the part 

of the lead with Richard 

Latour as his understudy. 

Angel Square 

Three kids from the Glebe 

area took part in the play; 

Mark Brown, 13, from Glashan, 

played Manfred Mahoney, a 

tough guy; Jonquil 

Garrick, 14, from Canterbury 

High School, played Fleurette 

Featherstone Fitchell, the 

local tart; and Meagan Shea, 

12, from Hopewell School, 

played a tomboy, Geranium 

Mayburger a real dummy. 

We all enjoyed ourselves 

most of the time, but it was 

tiring near the end although 

we were all sad to part. 

The friendships we made will 

last us a lifetime and it 

was a very exciting four 

months together.

BY KARI WOLANSKI 

Angel Square was terrific. 

It was one of the best plays 

I've ever seen. 

In June the director held 

auditions for kids who would 

be in grade seven or eight 

in the 87-88 school year. 

Students who did well went 

on to more auditions and 

finally the cast and 

understudies were chosen. 

Angel Square is based on 

the book written by Brian 

Doyle, an Ottawa author and 

Head of the English Department 

at Glebe Collegiate. 

It is about a boy named 

Tommy who lives in Lowertown 

in the mid-1940's. It is

the war and Ottawa is still

troubled with bitter racial 

strife. Tommy's best friend 

is Sammy Rosenberg. Sammy's 

father is assaulted by someone 

who doesn't like Jews. 

Tommy is nicknamed 

Lamonte after Lamonte 

Cranston of The Shadow, 

Tommy's favourite radio program. 

Like his hero, the 

Shadow, Tommy decides to 

find out who assaulted Mr. 

Rosenberg. 

Meanwhile, Sammy and his 

parents have gone to Toronto 

to get better care for Mr. 

Rosenberg, and Tommy has to 

cross Angel Square alone.

friends and family and discovers

GCA 

New Year brings new problems for the Glebe 

By 

G.C.A. 

President 

Brian 

Jonah 

Happy New Year to all. I 

hope you all survived the 

festive season in good 

health. I did but just 

barely. The sumptuous food 

and good cheer start to take 

its toll after a while. 

As you may know, Bread and 

Fruit has decided to give up 

the postal service franchise 

as soon as another operator 

can be found in the Glebe. 

If another business is not 

willing to take on the franchise, 

then it appears that 

residents in the Glebe will 

again have to make the trek 

over to Main St. in order to 

pick up registered mail and 

parcels that could not be 

delivered. Normally, the 

GCA does not get involved in 

federal issues of this 

nature. However, given the 

complete failure by Canada 

Post to provide adequate service 

in the Glebe, it is time 

for the GCA to become more 

actively involved. At the 

last Board meeting in November, 

postal service was 

briefly discussed. At that 

time, however, Bread and 

Fruit had just agreed to take 

on the franchise, so it was 

felt that the issue was 

resolved. Given the current 

turn of events, this issue 

will be discussed again at 

the next GCA Board meeting 

on January 26 with a view 

toward a more permanent solution. 

If you have any 

thoughts on what plan of 

action the GCA should adopt, 

give me a call at 236-2299. 

Task Force presents 

recommendations 

zones, the separation distance 

would be created as an envelope 

measuring 300 metres 

along the street and 130 

metres in the direction of 

adjacent streets with the 

subject property being in the 

centre of this rectangle. 

This approach means that there 

could be group homes located 

every 150 metres along a 

street. This separation distance 

is not consistent with 

the GCA's position that there 

should be 300 metres between 

facilities and only one per 

block. 

GCA opposed 

to new revisions 

At an earlier meeting of 

the Task Force, the general 

consensus was that the Task 

Force would be presenting 

options on the maximum number 

of residents and the 

separation distance in its 

report so that the Ottawa 

Planning Committee at City 

Hall would have a range of 

proposals from which to 

choose. However this earlier 

decision was revoked at the 

December meeting and the 

above single set of recommendations 

was agreed upon, 

although not by all the community 

representatives who 

were outnumbered by the 

representatives of the caregivers. 

Given the Task 

Force's back-tracking on the 

options approach and the 

disparity between the GCA's 

position on separation distance 

and that of the Task 

Force, our representative on 

the Task Force, Frank Porporino, 

felt that nothing 

more could be accomplished 

through working on the Task 

Force and hence resigned 

from it. I fully support 

his decision. This decision 

was not taken lightly since 

the GCA representative has 

invested considerable time 

in the Task Force. When the 

Task Force presents its 

recommendations to Planning 

Committee, the GCA will 

oppose them unless some corn-

CAPITAL COLUMN 

Traffic information for Winterlude 

By 

Alderman 

Rob Quinn 

TAX REPRIEVE 

Last month's column reported 

on Finance Minister Wilson's 

sales tax "reform" that, if implemented, 

would have substantially 

increased municipal expenditures 

and thus property 

taxes. 

Therefore, it is a pleasure 

to repeat the recent news that 

the Federation of Canadian Municipalities 

(FCM) convinced Mr. 

Wilson to revise his proposal 

so that its final form will result 

in no increase for municipal 

governments or public sector 

institutions like hospitals 

or universities. 

Ottawa's participation in the 

FCM, through the energetic, volunteer 

efforts of Alderman Darrel 

Kent, a member of the FCM's 

board of directors, has proven 

to be time and money well invested. 

REID REPORT/REGIONAL REVIEW 

The December 6th City Council 

meeting dealt with the Reid Report 

on the duties and responsibiLities 

of the Ottawa mayor 

and aldermen and on appropriate 

levels of remuneration. 

Council decided to institute, 

immediately, a severance pay 

benefit, subject to provincial 

enabling legislation, and a 

$200/month transportation allowance, 

paid to City department 

heads since 1979. 

The severance pay benefit is 

one month's pay for each year 

of service to a maximum of six. 

While the severance pay benefit 

reflects common practice in 

the public and private sectors, 

I voted that such a major 

change should not come into effect 

until the next Council. 

Implementation of the transportation 

allowance was long 

overdue. 

However, Council approved the 

Quinn/ O'Neill motion to defer 

consideration of the major salary 

recommendations until the Ontario 

Government reacts, likely 

in late January or early February, 

1988 to the Bartlett report 

on representation on the Regional 

Council. 

Currently, Ottawa elects directly 

each of its 16 member City 

Council to the Regional Council 

of Ottawa-Carleton (RMOC). 

Ottawa with 53% of the RMOC population 

elects 50% of the 32 

seat RMOC Council (plus the 

Chairman the Council in turn 

elects). 

However, taxes are levied according 

to assessment and Ottawa's 

assessment base accounts 

for about two thirds of the property 

tax revenue of the RMOC. 

At the moment, by population, 

some of the other 10 RMOC municipalities 

are under or over represented 

on the Regional Council. 

Ottawa's representation/ 

population ratio is, at about 

19,000,close to average. 

Some believe, including Mayor 

Durrell, that the RMOC Council 

should be composed of persons 

separately elected for that 

purpose only. 

Nevertheless, the December 

2nd meeting of the Ottawa Council 

strongly approved, I am 

glad to report, a motion to 

request Queen's Park to continue 

the current practice of 

electing simultaneously the 

Ottawa mayor and aldermen to 

the RMOC Council. 

The December 16th meeting of 

Council voted, unanimously, to 

approve the Quinn/O'NeiLl motion 

to request the Ontario Government 

to maintain the principle 

of Ottawa having at least 

50% of the RMOC Council seats. 

If more seats were given (only) 

to other municipaLities, a 

majority of counsellors neither 

elected by nor accountable to 

Ottawa voters could levy taxes 

on the preponderant Ottawa assessment. 

For more details, please call 

the office to request a copy of 

my brief to Mr. Bartlett and of 

my speech to Council on the 

Reid Report/Regional Review. 

WINTERLUDE 88 

The Winterlude traffic coordinating 

committee met December 18, 

1987 to review arrangements for 

Winterlude, Friday, February 5 

to Sunday, February 14, 1988. 

On this page or elsewhere in 

this edition is a map of the 

"emergency NO STOPPING routes" 

-- permit parkers, please take 

note 

and of many of the week- 

end road closures. 

Holmwood, east of Bank, and 

Adelaide will again have local 

traffic only controls. 

For the opening ceremonies on 

Friday evening, February 5th, 

there will be no public parking 

at Lansdowne Park. 

There w-ill be publicity to encourage 

public transit use that 

night in particular. Denise and 

I will walk to the Park -- one 

of the advantages of living in 

the Glebe. 

DOW'S LAKE 

Not on the map are the road 

closures and parking restrictions 

for the DOW'S LAKE area. 

Because of the popularity of 

the sculptures on the Lake, 

past experience dictates that 

the no parking restrictions on 

both sides of Dow's Lake road- 

ways go into effect the weekend 

before Winterlude, i.e., January 

30-31st, as well as during 

the festival weekends. 

However, during the week from 

Sunday, 11.00 PM to Friday 6.00 

PM, the Ottawa Police wiLl not 

enforce the Winterlude no parking 

restrictions. Of course, 

year round no parking signs 

remain in force. 

As in previous years on the 

Winterlude weekends, there will 

be "local traffic only" controls 

on the streets entering 

the Dow's Lake area. 

Because traffic and parking 

on these weekends has become 

so intense, the City, the 

NCC and other agencies implement 

together these controls in 

order to protect public safety 

by ensuring clear access.

POST OFFICE BLUES 

Municipal politicians are not 

supposed to have to get the 

mail through. Which brings me 

to the first point -- Glebe 

postmaster" Charles Sohmer 

manager of Bread and 

Fruit is closing his post 

office (too bad, he'Ll have to 

revert to plain Charlie again) 

because of an unsatisfactory arrangement 

with Canada Post. 

Unsatisfactory is the second 

point. The total confusion surrounding 

the implementation of 

privately-run "consumer" postal 

services led people to 50 Main 

Street for parcels and other 

mail pick-ups. 

I have written to the President 

to urge prompt action to 

improve service and to obtain 

information on Canada Post's 

intentions for the post office 

facility on Fourth Avenue.

Old, new, borrowed and blue 

BY JANE WILSON 

A New Year brings resolutions 

and fresh starts but 

as we stand at the threshold 

let us remember the 

past which leads us to the 

present. With this in 

mind, I am writing this 

column under four subheadings: 

Something Old, 

Borrowed, New and We're- 

Sure-Blue. 

Traditions 

For me The Messiah and 

the Snowflake Special fit 

the category of old because 

they are Glebe traditions. 

What would the holiday 

season be without them? 

Over 500 Glebe residents 

enjoyed two very different 

December evenings. We all 

sounded like larks as we 

sang The Messiah choruses. 

The next weekend, sleigh 

rides, carols and entertainment 

were the order of the 

day as we had another 

successful Snowflake Special. 

This event is sponsored by 

G.N.A.G. as a thank you to 

the community for their 

support throughout the 

year. 

My words could not do justice 

to the magic that is 

the Snowflake Special so now 

I must turn to things 

borrowed. The musings are 

those of Al Noble sprinkled 

with poetic license. The 

original appeared in The 

Giebe Report in 1984. 

Good eve to the Snowflake! - 

the horses, 

The baubles strung on the 

green tree, 

The coursings of musical 

courses, 

The merryings of merry 

Zoubie, 

The singings of songs full 

melodic, 

The pastoral peels of the

The Dnipro flights, high

The candles that cast 

shadowed spells; 

The winkings that Hope holds 

in tingles, 

The pulsings of bongos and

The beckonings of kettles

The dusks when the dark

In honour of things new 

G.N.A.G. is offering a wonderful 

line of new and nearly 

new winter courses. Each 

course will succeed and have 

a permanent home under the 

dome only with your support. 

If, for example, by day you 

are a mature adult but have 

a secret desire to improvise 

or release any number of 

comic characters within, 

then a Performance Art 

Course is for you. This is 

only one of several new 

courses being offered at 

the Community Centre. 

Please check the centre 

page of this issue of The 

Glebe Report and sign up 

for a course under the Preschool, 

Children, Youth or 

Adult categories. Registration 

will take place on 

January 20 and 21 from 

7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at 

the Centre. A course at 

your Community Centre is 

just what the doctor ordered 

to beat the winter blues. 

G.N.A.G.'s proud to begin 

the New Year by welcoming 

two members to the executive 

- Audrey Apps and Nancy 

Solman. 

After a brief hiatus 

Audrey will lend her talents 

to several key areas of 

interest to G.N.A.G. Welcome 

back Audrey, G.N.A.G. 

is lucky to know you. 

Nancy will assume the 

communications portfolio 

for G.N.A.G. This is no 

small task for an active 

Community Centre. Putting 

pen to paper will forever 

be creative in the hands of 

this Renaissance Woman.

Knelman reviews our film industry 

BOOKS 

By 

Sharon 

Drache 

HOME MOVIES 

By Martin Knelman 

Tales from the Canadian Film 

World, 

Key Porter Books, 248 pages 

$22.95 (cloth) 

Gossip and sobriety is a 

curious combination; add to 

it Martin Knelman's competence 

in evaluating the 

current state of the Canadian 

film industry and the reader 

is left with a smug but 

rather confident conclusion 

affirming that Canadian films 

like so much of our cultural 

heritage are part of a magnanimous 

cottage industry 

held together and funded by 

the federal government. 

In a chatty style, Knelman 

rightly calls the book Home 

Movies; our successes are 

clearly ours, not Hollywood's, 

though many of our great filmmakers 

have spent time proving 

themselves south of the 

border. "The unofficial godfather 

in Hollywood's 

Canadian film club " is 

Norman Jewison. He commutes 

to his home in Caledon East, 

north of Toronto. In 

Jewison's own words: "I 

came home to Canada in 1978. 

In search of my roots. I 

shot Agnes of God in Quebec, 

Montreal and Toronto. In 

film, timing is everything. 

It's the same with airlines. 

I'm probably one of the most 

frequent flyers on Air Canada 

flight 791 to Los Angeles. 

I call it the California 

Connection." 

There doesn't seem to be 

much more than air tickets 

and a fat pocketbook luring 

Jewison constantly back to 

Los Angeles, one of the two 

arm pits of the United 

States. He appears compelled 

by Mammon, not art; 

yet, when he wants to fill 

his mind and soul, he's 

where he belongs, back home. 

Perhaps more topical than 

readers care to think in 

view of our current Free 

Trade agreement, Knelman 

dwells considerably on the 

history of the National Film 

Board, the Canadian Film 

Corporation and Telefilm 

Canada. In 1983, when 

Trudeau appointed nationalist 

film maker, Peter 

Pearson as President of 

Telefilm Canada, he miraculously 

transformed a talented 

artist into an eminent film 

bureaucrat. "As head of 

Telefilm Canada, Pearson has 

become the only Canadian 

with the kind of power 

associated with a boss of a 

Hollywood Studio." Millions 

of dollars were made available 

through a new broadcast 

fund and the new rules were 

set out. However this 

funding relied on the simultaneous 

creation of films for 

movies and television, what 

Knelman terms "mixing media." 

This awkward arrangement 

lasted until 1986 when the 

Conservatives spearheaded 

by Marcel Masse, then 

Minister of Communications, 

gave the industry another 

incentive, the $33 million 

a year feature film fund. 

In short our Canadian film 

industry is clearly funded 

by the feds. 

We do however have one 

eminent entrepreneur who 

Knelman postulates may 

well turn out to be the 

first private owner of a 

major Canadian movie stu- 

dio. Garth Drabinsky, 

owner of Cineplex Odeon, is 

an ex-film maker. He produced 

6 movies between 

1978 and 1982. In a chapter 

entitled "The World 

According to Garth", Knelman 

candidly discloses Drabinsky's 

backing by Edgar 

and Charles Bronfman (Cemp 

Investments Ltd. of Montreal) 

who are major 

investors in Cineplex 

Odeon which began in 1983 

with the purchase of the 

Odeon movie theatre chain. 

By 1984, Cineplex reported 

a twelve million dollar 

profit and Drabinsky was 

ready to challenge the 

biggest Canadian entertainment 

dynasty, U.S. 

controlled Famous Players. 

Drabinsky has not looked 

back since, except perhaps 

on Black Monday, 1987. 

Devotion of Canadian film 

makers to their own mythologies 

is clearly evidenced 

by discussion of several of 

our best producers, among 

them: Claude Jutra (to 

whom the book is dedicated), 

Ted Kotcheff and Phillip 

Boros. While Knelman 

claims that Canadian films 

have come of age with such 

N 

movies as My American 

Cousin, I've Heard the 

Mermaids Singing and The 

Decline of the American 

Empire, he clearly indicates 

that the ripe and 

obvious source to tap is 

Canadian literature.

ART 

Dalai 

BY ELLEN SCHOWALTER 

"So how do you like the 

paintings", quizzed the tiny 

vibrant artist as she came 

out from behind the desk at 

A Source of Art Gallery in 

Fifth Avenue Court. 

The reviewer flinchedlooking 

at art is a contemplative, 

private act- right? 

Dalal Chuaqui's style in 

art and life is direct engagement. 

One does not escape 

with a mumbled "very nice, 

very interesting." Dalal requires, 

even demands more 

from the viewer. 

Intense and dynamic, she 

states; "Painting has become 

for me, as vital a necessity 

as it is to sleep, 

eat, or just to live. I am 

attracted by contrast of 

violent colours, games of 

light and shadow. I feel the 

strength of dramatic mixtures. 

I am interested in the 

depth of objects, to go 

further than just a surface 

image." 

Dalal Chuaqui was born in 

Santiago, Chile, in 1928. 

She entered the University 

of Chile School of Bellas 

Artes, where she studied 

with the well-known Spanish 

painter Augusto Eguiluz 

and the Chilean painter 

Gustavo Carrasco. After 

graduation she concentrated 

on the study of lifedrawing. 

In 1954 she joined "Sara 

del Campo",a group of painters, 

writers, sculptors, 

dancers and ceramists. During 

this period of time she 

exhibited frequently in both 

group and solo shows. 

In 1970 Dalal left Chile 

for West Germany, where she 

became interested in painting 

from nature. She was able to 

visit the great galleries of 

Europe . 

Her paintings "The Line-up" 

"The Red Building", "The Bus 

Depot" and "The Laundry Room" 

show a strong influence of 

German Expressionism in their 

unsentimental but empathetic 

depiction of everyday life. 

Logically enough, one can 

see a Spanish influence too. 

Elongated forms, twisting 

flame-like shapes and flickering 

lights along with a 

somewhat acid yellow/blue/ 

orange palette recall El 

Greco and Zurbaran. Small 

paintings such as "Pears", 

"Walnuts", and "Garlic" 

follow the Spanish tradition 

of still life painting exemplified 

by Sanchez Cotan. 

In 1972 Dalal moved to 

Canada, settling in Regina. 

Her compelling painting "The 

Laundry Room" captures the 


the strength of dramatic mixtures 

Dalal Chuaqui at A Source of Art Gallery, November,1987. 

Meekt+Remmememmeme.,iweet 

em,m,tr,- 

"The Laundry Room" 

"Broken Mirror # 3" 

laundry room of a Saskatchewan 

hospital where she 

worked . 

" The Laundry Room", "The 

Bus Depot" and her other' 

urban genre paintings 

strongly recall the work of 

the Canadian, Paraskeva 

Clark. 

Keenly interested in portraiture, 

Dalal has fulfilled 

many commissions in both 

Chile and Canada. "Broken 

Mirror #3" is a powerful 

and perceptive reflection of 

a middle-aged woman facing 

a broken mirror, her image 

split and fragmented, but 

her large, muscular, competent 

hands in the foreground 

hold the painting together. 

Kaleidoscope-like, the 

separate sections combine 

and re-combine in a very 

moving way. 

Since moving to Ottawa in 

1978, Dalal has been an active 

member of the Ottawa Art 

Association. She took first 

prize in its annual show 

for three consecutive years 

(1982-1984), and has participated 

regularly in Ottawa 

Women's Credit Union shows. 

Now, for the first time in 

her life, she is able to work 

full time at her painting, 

portrait commissions and 

teaching 

Intense, passionate 

and direct, Dalal Chuaqui 

lights a welcome fire in the 

cool post-post-modern city.

OBSERVATION POST 

Development of the core 

piecemeal 

BY COURTNEY BOND 

The central core of Ottawa 

is undergoing great development 

of a piecemeal nature. 

New buildings have been added, 

new ones are arising, 

new ones are planned. In a 

recent study OC Transpo projected 

growth of employment 

in the core over the years 

to 2005 at 27%. But it's 

not only employment that is 

growing there; residential 

occupancy is increasing too. 

Accounting from east to 

west, the following new 

structures have been added 

in the last five years. 

These are numbered on the 

map. 

St. George Apartments 

Rideau Centre 

Ottawa Court House and 

Land Registry Office 

Barrister House 

55 Metcalfe (Manulife)

In addition, the following 

are under construction or 

being considered (lettered

Several fresh additions of 

major residential structures 

in the core are obvious.

Place touch Slater Street. 

Farther west major residential 

structures (400 Slater, 

151 Bay, 435 Albert, 424 

Queen) extend residences as 

far north as Queen Street. 

If the Anglicans and 

Lutherans get their way with 

City Council this residential 

enclave will be shut in 

by a wall of office buildings 

to the north, making for more 

dead streets at night, heavy 

traffic during the day. 

The West Quadrant Plan of 

1980 projected, rather, lower 

residential buildings on the 

church block, with a gradual 

increase of height to the 

south. By-Law 291 of 1984 

was the zoning mechanism 

intended to implement this. 

Now, development-minded members 

of Council want to substitute 

a new by-law which 

may well give the churches 

their way, both in terms of 

land-use and permitted 

height.

permit a degradation of the 

generally human scale of this 

corner of the city, but it 

would totally destroy the 

appearance of this Western 

Portal by permitting tall, 

out-of-scale structures 

springing from the high 

ground to dominate what would 

be a jagged, ugly skyline. 

Ottawa's centre has developed 

as an area of narrow 

streets, overwhellaing buildings, 

"wind-tunnels", with 

a scarcity of trees, squares 

and parks, an area that is 

oppressive, stifling to the 

human spirit. 

Let us hope that the members 

of Council, when they 

come to consider this by-law, 

will hark back to the vision 

of 1980. 

Planning Committee of City 

Council will consider rezoning 

of the church block 

on January 19th. Heritageminded 

Glebe residents may 

wish to express their concern 

in writing to the City's 

Planning Department.

SCHOOL NEWS 

Glebe students protest OC tare increases 

BY MARK ROBERTSON 

A group of Glebe students 

(numbering around fifteen) 

boarded a Number 6 bus outside 

Glebe Collegiate Institute 

on December 10th at 

noon and refused to pay the 

fare. They were protesting 

the upcoming six percent 

fare hike. Their reasons 

for such an action were out 

of desperation since a set of 

of petitions protesting the 

last major fare hike went 

unresponded to by OC Transpo. 

The most that was left in 

the collection box was ten 

cents. Ten minutes after 

the students boarded the bus, 

four OC Transpo ticket 

inspector cars rolled in 

behind. Four ticket inspectors 

boarded the bus and 

ordered the protesters to 

disembark. Cole Rheaume 

challenged their authority 

to do so.. The ticket inspector 

told him to "shut up", 

and eventually Rheaume told 

the ticket inspector to 

"shut up". 

I attempted to photograph 

a ticket inspector on the 

bus from outside. Before I 

was able to do so he held 

his hand out in front of 

my camera. He threatened 

to sue me if a photograph 

of him was published. 

The protesters disembarked 

to continue the conflict 

outside the bus. They joined 

a crowd of observers. Cole 

Rheaume led the argument 

with three OC Transpo ticket

inspectors. They informed 

Rheaume that he alone might 

be charged. Rheaume did 

not believe that they had 

the power to single him out. 

The ticket inspectors explained 

that, because he was 

the voice of the demonstration, 

they had the right to 

choose to charge him. 

The ticket inspectors 

retiredto confer, and about 

ten minutes later visited 

the principal's office. 

Rheaume was called to the 

main office, and after waiting 

a few minutes, was asked 

to enter the principal's 

office. I asked the princi- 

Photo: Mark Robertson 

pal if I could take notes. 

"As far as I'm concerned 

I'm not having any reporter," 

he replied. 

Whereupon Rheaume refused 

to be involved in any further 

discourse because, as he 

said, all technicalities 

had been revealed on 

the street before a 

Citizen and a student reporter 

on the street. 

The Principal Mr. Harvie 

explained in an interview 

that he had no previous 

knowledge of the protest. He 

accepted the ticket inspectors' 

right to seek to have 

the way it works in our 

society," he explained. 

Mr. Joyal (a Vice Principal) 

disagreed with the means of 

protest. "It's unfortunate; 

the other passengers may have 

had emergencies," he said. 

I asked Mr. Stitt, a law 

teacher, if it is legal to 

charge one person in such 

a protest. "It's up to the 

police's discretion to charge 

whomever they want, if they 

don't feel that the others 

were a threat to safety." 

The charge would be causing 

a disturbance. 

I questioned Mr. Cummings 

(a Physical Education teacher 

teacher) on his opinion of 

the fare hike. "All they're 

going to do is keep raising 

the fare and less people 

will be using it. It's 

going to become a 'white 

elephant.' They've got 

this grandiose scheme. It's 

going to affect us because 

the sporting teams use the 

bus. We're going to use 

some other means of transportation." 

Rheaume hopes to raise 

greater numbers of protesters 

for a future protest.

Provincial Share of Financing Education in 

Ontario has dropped from 61.3% in 1975 to 

42.7% in 1987. Atthough dollars come from one 

source only (us!!) the local tax burden is becoming 

unbearable. We need relief from property 

taxes ... particularly in Centretown, the Glebe and 

Ottawa South. Otherwise many of us will be 

obliged to leave Ottawa centre and this would be 

the start of urban decay. The present Government 

of Ontario has made a commitment to fund 

60% of approved educational costs. We look 

forward to such in Ottawa centre.

FOCUS 

Help the Aged opens new office in Fifth Ave. Court 

BY SYLVIA GREENSPOON 

Help the Aged, a non-profit 

organization which raises 

money for the elderly, recently 

opened a new office on 

the second floor of Fifth 

Avenue Court. Cecil Jackson 

Cole, the founder of Oxfam, 

started Help the Aged in 

1962 in England. The Canadian 

operation opened in 1975 

and is the only registered 

agency in Canada which concerns 

itself with the needs 

of old people on a global 

basis. Through the Adopta-Gran 

program, sponsors 

help feed and provide medical 

care for the disabled 

elderly in India, Sri Lanka, 

Haiti and many other countries. 

Supporters in Canada 

include a high proportion of 

seniors ana many prominent 

figures including former 

Prime Minister Pierre Elliot 

Trudeau. Canadian donations 

in 1987 totalled $338,454. 

Last year, over $15,000 went 

to the Alzheimers Society 

of Canada. 

Moved by devotion 

of workers 

Betty Gittens, Chairperson 

of Help the Aged, Canada, 

speaks with enthusiasm about 

her own involvement over the 

past year. She has recently 

returned from Dominica, a 

small island in the Carribean 

between Guadaloupe and 

Martinique, where she personally 

visited 30 of the 

adopted grans and learned 

how the funds were being 

used. Despite the impoverished 

living conditions of 

a large number of the abandoned 

elderly, Betty was 

impressed by the gratitude 

that was expressed and moved 

by the dedication of the 

workers and Sisters who make 

their way daily along treacherously 

steep and winding 

roads to the remote dwellings 

of the elderly. 

The two helping organizations 

which care for the 

elderly and distribute funding 

in Dominica are 

R.E.A.C.H. (Reach Elderly 

Abandoned Citizens Housebound) 

and Sisters of I.C.M. 

(Immaculate Conception of 

Mary). Their duties include 

making trips to the elderly's 

houses, cleaning and bathing, 

which involves carrying water 

from other sources since 

there is no indoor plumbing. 

They also feed and give 

physio and occupational 

therapy to the disabled. 

Three R.E.A.C.H. workers 

and one driver are able to 

care for nine elderly a day.

CHURCH NEWS 

January 1988 

BY NEIL HUNTER 

January of every year is 

significant in two very different 

ways. On the campus 

of Carleton University students 

are returning after 

their Christmas break, to the 

ice and snow of Ottawa and 

the long winter semester. 

Once again it's back to the 

books, essays, term papers 

and mid-term exams on the 

way to finals in April. We 

in the chaplaincies identify 

with the concerns and needs 

of the University community 

by providing worship, programmes, 

and a friendly 

listening ear. The quietness 

of Christmas has given way 

to the challenge and demand 

of these winter months and 

the Campus is once again 

alive with the energetic 

movement of the approximately 

20,000 occupants. 

But January is also the 

month when most churches 

participate in the Week of 

Prayer for Christian Unity. 

This takes place between 

January 24th and January 31st 

The theme, "The Love of God 

Casts Out Fear", serves to 

inform all of us that God 

enters our life to show us 

the full dimensions of His 

love so that we, in turn, 

can understand and share 

His love. The love of God 

is not something that creates 

fear or anxiety in us. 

Rather it empowers us to 

overcome our natural inclination 

to run from the difficulties 

and complexities 

of life. The Week of Prayer 

for Christian Unity provides 

an opportunity for prayer, 

that Christians everywhere 

can pray for the whole church 

and for each other so that 

all may be centred in their 

efforts to bring peace and 

justice to our world. The 

Week of Prayer helps all 

Christians to acknowledge 

the need to pray for all 

people and particularly to 

pray for the courage to 

work together for the betterment 

of all humanity. 

The churches in the Glebe 

will be holding special services 

during the Week of 

Prayer for Christian Unity 

with a pulpit exchange between 

the churches on January 

17th. Please check the 

church advertisements in 

the Glebe Report for further 

information. 

We in the chaplaincy at 

Carleton University count 

it a privilege to serve both 

on the campus and in the 

community and we do hope that 

1988 will be a Happy and 

Challenging New Year for one 

and all. 

NeiZ Hunter is the 

Protestant Chaplain at 

Carleton University 

Lay School of Theology 

BY R. J. WILSON 

One of the successful 

examples of the attempt to 

bring Christians together 

has been the Lay School of 

Theology. Although it is 

sponsored by the Anglican, 

United and Presbyterian 

churches of the city, its 

faculty and students 

represent every branch of 

the church. For twentyfour 

years it has filled a 

truly ecumenical role of 

Christian education in this 

city. The school has the 

distinction of being the 

oldest and we think the 

most successful in Canada. 

Registration for the start 

of the winter term will be 

Monday, January 18, 1988 

at Knox Church, Elgin and 

Lisgar Streets. The term 

offers a wide range of subjects 

from Early Christian 

Art, the Bible and Social 

Ethics through an analysis of 

the Gospel of St. Luke to 

Creation Theology and 

Matthew Fox. Everyone who 

is interested in spiritual 

matters will find something 

to his liking - a golden 

opportunity to gain insights 

into the non-material 

aspects of modern society. 

The fee of $25.00 for ten 

lectures ($5.00 for students) 

is probably the greatest 

bargain in special education 

offered in Ottawa. In 

addition you are assured of 

a warm welcome, stimulating 

lectures and lively discussion.
