Last chance for Aberdeen Pavilion 

BY FERN GRAHAM 

In a stunning change of 

position, Ottawa City Council 

has once again decided 

to demolish two of the 

most distinctive heritage 

buildings in the city, the 

Aberdeen Pavilion and the 

Horticulture Building. The 

controversial plan for a 

new trade show complex at 

Lansdowne Park was tinkered 

with, puffed up, expanded, 

and altered so profoundly 

that it finally collapsed 

under its own weight. Some 

councillors are determined 

that if the trade show complex 

goes, so do the heritage 

buildings. 

The debate on August 7 was 

long and acrimonious, and 

when it was over, Council 

had decided to ignore staff 

advice and demolish the 

two exhibition buildings. 

Both are designated by the 

city under the Ontario 

Heritage Act, and the Aberdeen 

Pavilion is a National 

Historic Site, commemorated 

by the Federal 

government. Though there is 

no pressing need to clear 

the site, certain members of 

council are trying to speed 

the demolition process along 

The spectacle of a city 

trying to rid itself of its 

heritage buildings is bizarre 

indeed, given that the 

same council voted unanimously 

to designate the 

Horticulture Building just 

last year, and has pledged 

in its freshly minted official 

City Plan to provide 

a good example to the private 

sector in managing heritage 

properties. If the City proceeds 

to destroy these important 

buildings, they will 

abdicate their moral authority 

to require private 

property owners to comply 

with the recommendations of 

LACAC or of city heritage 

planners. 

Of wider importance is 

the fact that council refuses 

to acknowledge that a 

higher authority with considerable 

expertise - the 

Historic Sites and Monuments 

Board of Canada - has determined 

that the Aberdeen 

Pavilion has national significance. 

In the words of 

Darrel Kent. "Heritage is 

what we decide is heritage... 

This is just a poor little 

old building." Under this 

rationale, anyone in Canada 

who owns a National Historic 

City of Ottawa 

Corrugated cardboard recycling 

The week of September 16, 

1991, the City of Ottawa 

will begin to provide collection 

of old corrugated 

cardboard to approximately 

800 businesses on garbage 

collection day in the following 

areas: 

Bank Street from the 

Queensway south to Holmwood. 

Bank Street from Aylmer 

Avenue south to the Billings 

Bridge, 

Rideau Street from Dalhousie 

east to Wurtemburg, 

Somerset Street West from 

Wellington Street east to 

Bank Street, 

Wellington Street from 

Island Park Drive east to 

Somerset Street, and 

Preston Street from Scott 

Street south to Carling 

Avenue. 

In October 1989, a 6-month 

pilot project to collect corrugated 

cardboard from curbside 

involved over 200 businesses 

in downtown Ottawa. 

It was found that 17 % of 

collected commercial solid 

waste by weight was card- 

board and that there was an 

opportunity to divert it 

from landfill. A permanent 

program for businesses was 

adopted which is now being 

expanded to include 800 other 

businesses in Ottawa. 

Of note, on July 1, 1991 

an increased tipping fee 

for old corrugated cardboard 

was adopted at the 

Trail Road landfill site 

to discourage disposal 

and encourage recycling. 

BY ELAINE MARLIN 

Many of the new trees 

planted throughout the Glebe 

last fall by the City of 

Ottawa are looking very 

withered. The harsh effects 

of this year's beautiful but 

dry summer could seriously 

threaten the lives of these 

trees. 

Kathleen Leeson, who is 

involved with organizing 

Global Releaf projects locally, 

has these suggestions: 

1. Continue to water the 

trees this fall. 

2. Make a bowl of earth 

Site is free to destroy it. 

To date, the only other 

building so commemorated 

to be demolished was the 

Rideau Street Convent right 

here in Ottawa. Council is 

poised to set some very 

dangerous precedents. 

The proposal to demolish 

the Horticulture Building 

has been processed and it 

could come down at any 

time. The application to 

demolish the Aberdeen Pavilion 

goes before the Local 

Architectural Conservation 

Advisory Committee (LACAC) 

on Tuesday, September 17 at 

6:00 p.m., then on to Planning 

Committee before it 

returns to Council early 

in October. LACAC will no 

doubt express horror at 

the whole proposal, and 

recommend that the building 

be restored. If council refuses 

this advice, it will 

completely undermine the 

effectiveness of LACAC in 

dealing with private sector 

applications, and the advisory 

committee would do 

well to consider resigning. 

There is still a limited 

number of options for friends 

of the Aberdeen (and of the 

Horticulture Building) to 

Caring for newly planted trees 

around each tree so the water 

doesn't wash away from 

the roots. 

3. Prune off dead branches. 

Kathleen is interested in 

setting up training programmes 

in communities like ours 

to produce "urban foresters" 

who could give trees regular 

maintenance and special 

care. This could include 

work in our local parks as 

well as on our own properties. 

Watch for future 

announcements from Global

Leeson at 234-7817. 

pursue. One of these is to 

put pressure on Evelyn 

Gigantes for provincial 

intervention. Another is to 

encourage Jackie Holzman, 

Mark Maloney, Jamie Fisher 

and Darrel Kent to look seriously 

at the private sector 

proposal by Eric Cohen to 

use the buildings for a 

farmers' and a flea market. 

All have indicated they might 

vote for preservation if 

Cohen's proposal was a solid 

and practical one. 

Finally, Heritage Ottawa 

is raising money to initiate 

a legal challenge to the 

proposed demolition. The 

Aberdeen Pavilion has 

survived more than 25 votes 

at Council, and seems 

perpetually to be at the 

centre of a crisis. There 

is a tendency to wonder as 

each new threat arises 

whether the threat is 

really serious or not. To 

some, it must seem as 

though Heritage Ottawa has 

been crying "Wolf:" for more 

than five years. This threat 

is real and present.

of Heritage Ottawa.

COAT Conference on conversion 

BY CHRISTINE MARLIN 

Economic conversion from 

military to civilian production 

has become an important 

topic of discussion for people 

involved in the defence industries 

as well as for disarmament 

activists. Conversion 

is seen as a viable way of 

advancing towards a demilitarized 

society without incurring 

huge financial loss or mass 

unemployment. 

As a way of facilitating 

discussion about this critical 

issue, the Coalition to Oppose 

the Arms Trade (COAT) is 

organizing a conference entitled 

"From War to Peace: an 

Agenda for Economic Conversion" 

to be held at Saint Paul 

University on Saturday, September 

21st from 9am to 5.30pm. 

A follow-up meeting will take 

place on Sunday, September 

22nd at the same location to 

plan a national network to 

promote economic conversion. 

Formed in 1989 to organize 

protests against ARMX, the 

Canadian arms exhibition until 

recently held at Lansdowne 

park, COAT is run largely 

through the efforts of its 

instigator, Glebe resident 

Richard Sanders. 

The conference will begin 

with a debate on the relationship 

between the arms trade 

and the Canadian economy, 

followed by a panel discussion 

on how conversion can be 

implemented in Canada. 

After a break for lunch, 

international speakers will 

share information on what 

steps have been taken by 

government, labour, and business 

in their respective 

countries to encourage conversion. 

The final session 

will be a panel discussion on 

creating a peace dividend," 

and on how funds accrued 

through decreased military 

expenditure could be put to 

socially useful and environmentally 

safe use. 

At the end of the day conference 

participants will be 

invited to attend workshops 

to talk about the conference, 

to set an agenda for the 

follow-up meeting, and to 

develop ideas on how to bring 

about conversion on a longterm 

basis. 

Tickets are $20, or $10 for 

students, seniors and 

unemployed.

Meals on Wheels Week 

September 22-28 

You may wonder...why 

Celebrate Meals On Wheels 

Week? It is a celebration 

of accomplishments 

both locally and provincially. 

The King's Daughters 

Dinner Wagon serves 500 

clients a day in Ottawa, 

Vanier and Rockliffe. 

There are 780 volunteers 

working with Dinner Wagon. 

Each day there are 66 volunteers 

delivering meals 

in their neighbourhood. 

Last year, 1,500 individuals 

were served by Dinner 

Wagon. Many were frail, 

elderly individuals who 

needed assistance to maintain 

adequate nutrition on 

a long-term basis; some 

were disabled and used the 

service either on a short or 

long term basis; others 

were convalescing and required 

the meals on a short 

term basis after surgery or 

an accident. The Meals on 

Wheels clients live in all 

parts of the city - in 

high-rise apartment buildings 

or in single family 

homes. 

Meals on Wheels is evolving 

to meet the needs of the 

residents of our community: 

Since November 1990, 

Meals on Wheels in Ottawa in 

partnership with Alcan 

Aluminum has been involved 

in a project to recycle the 

Meals on Wheels aluminum 

containers. A pilot project 

on the delivery of 

Frozen Meals on Wheels in 

Ottawa was such a success 

that a program for Frozen 

Meals on Wheels delivery is 

being launched in Ottawa. 

This system of delivery will 

provide an alternative to 

the traditional hot meal 

system. 

Above all Meals on Wheels 

Week is an opportunity to 

thank the volunteers, the 

institutions who provide 

the meals, and those who 

support the program financially. 

It is due to everyones 

participation that 

Dinner Wagon has grown to 

meet the community's 

needs. 

Additional information on 

becoming a Dinner Wagon 

volunteer or on requesting 

service is only a phone 

call away - 233-2424.

You KNOW THAT ELECT-MGM( 

AND WATER DON'T MIX. 

SO DOES TI-IIS OUFLET. 

This is a Ground Fault Circuit Inten-upter (GFCI). It's 

a spécial oudet that automatically cuts power to the 

circuit if it comes into contact with water. GFCIs are 

designed to be used in bathrooms, in the kitchen by the sink, the 

laundry room, and all outdoor sockets, 

especially those for hot-tubs and swimming 

pools. A GFCI could be a lifesaver especially 

if you have young children who like 

splashing water around. GFCIs are required 

by the Electrical Safety Code. So if you're 

renovating or adding on to your home, 

make sure they're installed in all the appro- 

priate oudets. It's the only way to make 

sure that elecuicity and water don't mix.

Needless 

destruction 

Editor, GZebe Report: 

Last week we witnessed 

another example of the 

complete disregard some 

people have for the environment 

of this neighborhood, 

or this city. 

A stately elm has been 

standing back of Bank Street 

at 2nd Ave. for many, many 

years. It must have been 

over 150 feet tall. It was 

healthy - no elm disease, 

no rot, no butchery by city 

linesmen. Birds flew in and 

out, squirrels lived in it. 

As it towered over its neighbour, 

the apartment block, it 

must have lowered the temperature 

there by several 

degrees. 

But it has been needlessly 

struck down - level with the 

ground. We were impressed 

by the modern technology 

demonstrated - the sawing, 

the chopping, the shredding, 

were done with state-of-theart 

machinery with brisk 

efficiency. By noon only 

some sawdust, and a few 

leaves blowing in the hot 

breeze gave evidence that 

there had been a beautiful,' 

living tree that had given 

so much pleasure to passersby. 

And why? The information 

given to us was that 

the landlord wished to 

provide one or two more 

parking spaces! 

Sorrowfully, 

Beryl McLeod

G CA 

Fate of Aberdeen Pavilion is precarious 

By 

G.C.A. 

President 

Beatrice 

Raffoul 

Welcome back from what I 

hope has been a terrific 

summer. It seems that 

everyone I bump into has 

been marvelling about the 

weather. It was fabulous in 

our part of the world . 

But alas, school has begun, 

you've signed up for all 

those activities for the 

family and you are now ready 

to settle into your usual 

juggling act of making it 

all happen! Good luck. 

My family and I made the 

most of the Labour Day 

weekend and headed up to 

Ross Mountain just outside 

the town of Wakefield, 

communed with nature, and 

basically took advantage of 

the last few hours of "no 

schedules". One of the 

highlights was the official 

inauguration of the Lyle 

Lovett Dance Deck!! Lyle's 

music was featured and if 

you recognize him you can 

imagine the rest of the 

repertoire. 

ABERDEEN PAVILION 

The saga continues. The 

Department of Recreation and 

Culture, City of Ottawa, has 

submitted an application to 

demolish the heritage 

property as designated under 

Part IV of the Ontario 

Heritage Act. 

The application will be 

considered by the Local 

Architectural Conservation 

Advisory Committee (LACAC) 

at its meeting on September

(24HR.PAGER) 

17, 1991, which commences at 

6:00 p.m. in Committee Room 

B, Second Floor, City Hall, 

111 Sussex Drive. The GCA 

will be represented at this 

meeting. If you feel 

strongly about the fate of 

the Aberdeen Pavilion your 

presence is encouraged and 

recommended. However, if 

you are unable to attend the 

meeting in person, please 

send your comments in 

writing to the committee 

before the meeting date. It 

would also be helpful if a 

copy of your comments are 

forwarded to myself or Jim 

McCarthy. 

NEW STREETS 

The residents of Powell 

Avenue and Adelaide Street 

spent the entire summer 

watching and living through 

the reconstruction of their 

streets. Some have 

commented on their increased 

knowledge of sewer and water 

upgrades; while others are 

still trying to escape the 

dust, noise, house trembles 

and front yard mess. As 

difficult as it is to live 

through, the net result will 

be an improvement in 

municipal infrastructure 

paying 

positive 

environmental dividends. 

ENVI RONMENT 

This year Elaine Marlin, as 

GCA Chairperson of the 

Environment Committee would 

like to have interested 

persons in the area 

participate in an 

environment project targeted 

for the spring. If you have 

ideas for a project or want 

to get involved on the 

committee, please call 

Elaine at 234-2233. She is 

anxious to convene a meeting 

in the early fall.

Skate's Beat 

BY GARY SCHUITEBOER 

I can't remember a summer 

passing so fast, and now 

the school year is once 

again upon us. The students 

who attend the local universities 

will once again 

be searching for off campus 

lodging. The rooms and apartments 

they find for this 

purpose will more than 

likely include the Glebe 

area. I intend to be accessible 

to these students 

in order to meet and get to 

know them. There has been 

past concerns expressed by 

local residents about the 

late night parties that 

sometimes get out of hand. 

Intense university studies 

can at times be very stressful, 

and parties are a 

vehicle to relieve some of 

that tension. Unfortunately 

nothing is more frustrating 

than the wild party next 

door when one has to get 

up the next day for work. 

There are the minority of 

students who have little or 

no consideration for 

others. This small number 

of students promote the 

perhaps unfair reputation 

students have attained over 

the years. This article is 

directed to this aforementioned 

minority. 

The Ottawa Police will not 

tolerate these late night 

activities if they disturb 

the peace and tranquility of 

others. The tools the responding 

police officers 

can use to convince the offending 

parties to cease 

their inconsiderate behaviour 

are extensive. The obvious 

tool is the new noise Bylaw, 

that was the subject 

of an article in the last 

issue of the GZebe Report. 

The author, Cam Robertson, 

detailed the workings of 

the By-law, and the agencies 

to ccntact to enforce this 

In the case of under age 

drinking, there are the 

'Liquor License Laws' that 

could be enforced. The 

most serious of all scenarios 

is the Criminal Code 

charges that could be laid 

against persons involved. 

Section 175 of the Criminal 

Code of Canada covers the 

problem of causing a disturbance. 

Along with the 

obvious loss of ones self 

respect, there is the possibility 

of having a criminal 

record. One would be 

wise when attending these 

kind of functions, to be 

considerate of others. 

UPDATE: You may recall 

my last article dealt with 

bicycle theft. A spin-off 

result of that article 

was the creation of a bike 

theft warning card. The 

wording on the card warrs 

the cyclist that their 

bicycle was located unattended 

and unlocked. It 

mentions the statistics of 

N EWS 

Be considerate: Don 't party t0000 hearty 

By-law. The sound repro- bicycle theft in the Ottawa 

duction devices mentioned, area. The card would be 

such as the loud speakers placed between the spokes 

and ghetto blasters, would of the bike's wheel. The 

apply to the noisy party. intention is if I can complete 

this procedure undetected, 

then the possibility 

exists, your bicycle 

could be the subject of a 

theft. My motivation for 

creating the card, is for it 

to be a reminder to the 

operator of the bike, to 

exercise caution with the 

security of their property. 

ASK SKATE 

My purpose has always 

been to become more involved 

with the concerns of the 

Community I patrol. The 

Glebe Report has been an 

excellent tool to give advice 

on different subjects 

that involve the Police 

and the Community. 

If you have a concern you 

think could be of interest 

to others, stop me on the 

street or write to Skate's 

Beat, c/o The Ottawa 

Police, Personnel Division, 

474 Elgin St., Ottawa, 

Ontario, K2P 2J6. 

So until next time ... 

See you on the beat!

Fondly remembering the "Ex" 

BY PEGGY MALPASS 

As immediate neighbours of 

Lansdowne Park, we watch 

every year as the Ex assembles. 

The first sign is always 

the old canvas tent 

on its wooden floor put up 

by the volunteer crew from 

St. Giles Church. This food 

outlet serves to feed the 

carnies and other ex workers 

long before the first paying 

customer ever passes 

through the gates of promise 

into the fairground. The 

St. Giles tent is an institution 

which evokes memories 

for us all - church members 

working hard to raise funds 

by working together - and 

what work! An endless sea 

of hungry patrons needing 

burgers and drinks, all provided 

at long refectorylike 

tables kept spotless 

by the men and women of St. 

Giles. 

When the long trucks swing 

down Holmwood with the rides 

the names painted in vivid 

imagery on the trailers, 

what excitement mounts in 

the imagination of the neighbourhood 

kids. The Hully 

Gully; the Polar Exgress: 

the Cravitron: names which 

evoke memories and hopes 

for thrills and colour in 

our orderly Glebe lives. 

The speed at which these 

gigantic rides are assembled 

is alarming - surely 

there must be buckets of 

bolts left over, never accounted 

for, and hopefully, 

never missed, stored casually 

under the generator 

in case anyone remembers 

where they go. And the 

skeletal alien forms which 

grow against the sky, until 

we recognise the ferris 

wheel and the helter skelter 

And then the lights, which 

turn these rides into the 

beacons which lure us all 

Strolling the Midway at the "Ex". 

into the midway to risk 

death, or at least, to show 

off to our friends. 

Some booths offering 

stuffed prizes in exchange 

for questionable skills 

set up in chaos. Lines of 

electrical cables feeding 

the garish lighting absolutely 

necessary for the 

ambience, are spread around 

like fire hoses after a calamity. 

Some stall owners 

are ready and primed long 

before the opening day, 

practising their shills on 

us Glebeites who feel a 

proprietary interest in inspecting 

the layout before 

the toll is exacted at the 

gates. 

The farm animals remind 

us of the historical origins 

of the fair, and when the 

midway also had circus 

animal shows,we would waken 

to the sounds of cows mooing, 

sheep bleating, lions 

roaring, and the occasional 

elephant giving his early 

morning wake up call from 

the corner of the park 

where the Glebe Daycare now 

lives. Surely ghosts of 

these exotic animals must 

live on in the minds of 

the children there. The 

farm animals this year are 

banned from the stuffy, 

squealing and overpoweringly 

odiferous atmosphere 

of the Aberdeen Pavilion, 

which is now a hard hat 

area and in danger of expiring 

itself. But the 

animals are still present 

on the grounds, and we can 

marvel for another year 

at those alarming sheep 

with appendages sweeping 

the ground, whose progeny 

end up in neat plastic 

packages at the meat market 

RURAL 

ROOTS 

And the quilt shows and 

baked pies are still with 

us, and wondrous neon baby 

sweaters knitted by rural 

ladies all winter, to be 

displayed and praised by 

judges. It is this aspect 

Photo: Kevan Shantz 

of the Ex which we hope 

will be preserved once the 

new site is established, 

as it serves to remind us 

of the life led by so 

many of our forebears when 

Ontario was the frontier, 

and pride in such accomplishments 

was often the 

only recognition women received 

for their craft and 

work. We hope the new Ex 

will not lose the flavour 

and cramped excitement of 

the old. We have enough 

orderly theme parks with 

clean- uniformed staff, 

not a scrap of litter, 

and ersatz landscapes with 

fibreglass rocks. The Ex 

gives us a very un-Glebe 

like reality, a chance to 

be silly, to encounter 

people we never see at 

other times in the year, 

and reminds us of a simpler 

and less orderly time when 

the highlight of the year 

in our small and closed 

communities was the annual 

fair and exhibition.

OBSERVATION POST 

Ottawa's downtown - new developments 

BY COURTNEY BOND 

While a majority of City 

Council has, unwisely we 

think, certainly so in terms 

of proper development, authorized 

steps to extend the 

Core south of Gloucester 

Street, new buildings are 

appearing to the north of 

that vanished boundary. The 

downtown is gaining some 

interesting new buildings: 

a federal government institution 

and three large private 

structures. 

The Canadian Centre for 

Contemporary Photography, 

located in Confederation 

Square, down in the old 

street railway station beside 

the Chateau Laurier, 

will open in less than a 

year. Its three salons will 

display exhibitions that 

will change monthly. You 

can see its entrance structure 

between the canal and 

the hotel. Like the interesting 

little Canadian Centre 

for Caricature, just off 

Sussex near St. Patrick, 

this will be one more focus 

for gallery-goers. 

The World Exchange Plaza 

which I described in the 

GZebe Report of January 20, 

1989 as it was planned, has 

pretty well taken shape and 

is a handsome addition to 

the Ottawa skyline -- as far 

as it goes. Filling the 

block between Queen and Albert, 

from Metcalfe to O'- 

Connor, it was to consist of 

two towers. Of these only 

the larger, westerly one, 

an office building, has been 

constructed. The base of the 

easterly one, a 200-suite 

executive hotel, was built 

and the construction crane 

was then taken away. We'll 

have to wait for better financial 

weather before the 

World Exchange Plaza is 

completed. 


The great shiny ball makes 

its daily journey over the 

"Ottawa truss", across the 

Ottawa sky, a great sight 

when you can see it, surrounded 

as it is by tall 

buildings. I've spotted it 

from the courtyard of the 

new museum in Hull and seen 

it peeping over Parliament 

when sailing on the Ottawa. 

Now we can learn the 

function of that wall that 

curves around the agora 

at the east end: those windowless 

openings have steel 

members in them intended 

to support large banners 

which will be hung on occasion. 

That'll be something 

new for Ottawa: a great 

architectural feature that 

extends a beautiful structure, 

filled sometimes with 

banners! I like it. It 

will greatly enhance the 

charm of the open space. 

That space which the 

wall partly encloses is 

now being beautifully landscaped 

with strangely jagged 

pieces of rock, to the 

design of the building's 

architects, Brisbin 

Brooke Beynon. To be called 

Elys6e, a name close enough 

to the English form 

"Elysium" that English-speakers 

will understand and 

certainly quite comprehensible 

to Francophones, yet 

nicely avoiding the pretensiousness 

that might be 

sensed if they called it 

"Elysium" -- "a place of 

ideal happiness" -- the 

space will prove a remarkable 

invitation to the 

galleria that opens from 

it. Certainly it will make 

for a more lively downtown! 

In addition to the galleria, 

the World Exchange 

Plaza has three Cineplex 

Odeon cinema houses. Counting 

this galleria with the 

Place de Ville mall, that 

at 240 Sparks Street and 

the Minto mall in the block 

bounded by Kent-Slater- 

Lyon-Laurier, this new 

venture makes four large 

shopping malls within a 

few blocks of each other 

in Centretown. Can any of 

these compete with the 

vibrant focus that the Rideau 

Centre comprises? Or 

will they just serve, for 

the most part, the working 

population in the building 

above them, on workdays, 

and the residents of the 

associated hotel where 

there is one? Can any of 

these malls be economically 

viable? To thrive, the 

World Exchange Plaza's 

galleria will need all the 

The courtyard, the curved wall. June 1991 

attraction that the space 

Elysée can provide. 

Constitution Square, a 

great glass-sheathed block 

of a building that looks 

like sculptured ice, at 

Lyon between Albert and 

Slater, has been joined 

by its Phase II, another 

similar block of ice, not 

rising in glass from the 

strept like its fellow, 

but standing on a twostorey 

plinth sheathed in 

granite. It is obviously 

the centrepiece of what 

will be a three-piece 

building. There will be no 

shopping mall, just the 

usual bank, travel agency. 

Phase II should open 

this year. 

In the middle of and 

filling about a third of 

the block between Laurier 

and Slater from Bank to 

Kent, the 18-storey Standard 

Life Centre tower is

rising. Like the two 

other buildings mentioned 

above, this will be a 

welcome addition to the 

concentration in the Core. 

The occupants will be well 

served by the existing 

services, including public 

transportation. 

East to Bank Street the 

remainder of this block is 

available for development, 

as is the major part 

of the block farther east. 

These lands, and many others 

lying north of the old 

Gloucester Street boundary, 

are available for further 

construction in the Core. 

What in the name of reason 

was Council up to in moving 

to extend the centre southward 

-- unless it was to 

please some landholders? In 

no way does this serve the 

needs of the city. It runs 

directly against our best 

interests.

Controlling noise at Dow's Lake 

N EWS 

BY CAM ROBERTSON 

For years, amplified noise 

from the Dow's Lake Pavilion 

has plagued neighbouring 

residents. In the spring 

and summer of 1990, the 

problem reached a crescendo 

that cried out for solution. 

Last fall, the Dow's 

Lake Residents Association 

(DLRA) formed a Noise Committee, 

coordinated by 

George Falconer, to try 

to bring an end to the 

problem. Based on the 

Committee's work, DLRA 

made representations to 

Ottawa City Council during 

consideration of the new 

Noise By-law to try to protect 

all Ottawa residents 

from amplified noise. More 

than 50 Dow's Lake residents 

turned out for each of two 

meetings at City Hall. The 

Glebe Community Association, 

other community groups and 

the Ottawa Federation of 

Citizens' Associations all 

made strong representations. 

However, some bar owners 

were able to persuade a 

majority on Council that 

considerable leeway should 

be given to businesses that 

use sound amplification to 

entertain their customers 

or to attract attention to 

themselves. The resulting 

by-law permits high decibel 

levels of amplified noise 

to invade residents' yards 

and dwellings until 11 p.m. 

However, Council did recognize 

the special circumstances 

and the severity 

of the particular problem 

caused by the Dow's Lake 

Pavilion and unanimously 

passed a motion to urge the 

National Capital Commission 

(NCC) and Parks Canada to 

solve the Dow's Lake noise 

problem. 

Problems with bars 

Parks Canada is responsible 

for what happens on the 

Lake itself and is also 

the "owner", on behalf of 

all of us, of the water lot 

on which the Pavilion is 

built. The NCC leases the 

property from Parks Canada 

and, in turn, is leasing it 

to the Dow's Lake Pavilion 

Group, a shareholder owned 

business. The Pavilion leases 

space to various firms, including 

three bar/restaurants. 

On April 29, 1991, the 

DLRA Noise Committee and 

several DLRA executive members 

met with Parks Canada 

officials, urging them to 

ban amplified or live music 

on the lake and to prevent 

the bar/restaurants from 

,making noise that would 

carry into residential 

neighbourhoods or the sur- 

rounding Parkland. Subsequently, 

Parks Canada took 

action by meeting with NCC 

and the Pavilion management. 

Parks Canada stipulated 

that any Pavilion sponsored 

activity must be approved 

in advance by Parks Canada 

and that no amplified sound 

or any other activity which 

would result in loud noise 

would be approved. Parks 

Canada has shown that it 

fully understands the issues 

and will act to restore and 

preserve quality of life 

with respect to noise. 

DLRA learned that O'Toole's, 

one of the bar-restaurants at 

the Pavilion, had applied 

for a liquor licence for 

a new outdoor deck it was 

planning. The Association 

registered an objection, 

based on the already severe 

noise problem. As well, 

another resident and I filed 

individual objections. 

The Liquor Licence Board 

of Ontario (LLBO) held a 

public hearing on April 

17, 1991. 

Before the hearing, DLRA 

and the other resident, 

withdrew their objections 

when they reached an 

agreement with O'Toole's 

that O'Toole's would not 

play music on the new 

deck that would be heard 

in the Dow's Lake residential 

area, O'Toole's would 

not promote or contribute 

to the costs of amplified 

music being played outdoors 

at the Pavilion or 

on the lake, and O'Toole's 

would build a sound baffle 

at the easterly end of its 

new deck. (The baffle is 

not yet built.) 

I continued my objection 

and the hearing proceeded. 

I was impressed with the 

thoroughness the Board dis 

played in trying to learn 

about the noise problem. 

In May, the LLBO made 

known its decision to 

grant O'Toole's the 

licence subject to the 

conditions that had been 

agreed with DLRA and the 

additional stipulation 

that there be no live 

entertainment or amplified 

music on the new deck. 

The Board also stated its 

"hope that the discussion 

at this hearing and the 

details included in the 

decision may, when brought 

to the attention of the 

proper authorities, aid 

in ending a very serious 

and unfair situation 

that has endured far too 

long." The decision also 

stated that when a licensed 

operator violates noise 

by-laws or interferes 

with residents' quiet en- 

joyment of their homes 

and properties, the Board 

"has the authority and 

responsibility to apply any 

sanctions necessary to 

provide relief, up to and 

including the revocation 

of the liquor licence." 

All the work done to 

control noise has resulted 

in some progress at Dow's 

Lake. However, certain 

problems persist. Late 

night noise from two of the 

Pavilion's bars, O'Toole's 

and Captains, has often 

disturbed some residents 

until as late as 1:30 a.m. 

this spring and summer. 

(Captains is the new bar 

affiliated with Anchors 

restaurant at the Pavilion.) 

Live bands at Captains and 

disco rock at O'Toole's 

have been amplified so loud 

that even with the Pavilion's 

doors closed, the 

noise has travelled across 

the lake to disturb residents 

At the time of writing, 

O'Toole's has tried to 

solve its part of the 

problem. 

However, Captains is another 

story. In addition 

to the late night noise, 

Captains/Anchors saturated 

surrounding neighbourhoods 

and parklands 

with a loud rock video 

taping on the afternoon of 

Sunday, July 28. Complaints 

from residents were brushed 

off by the owner and the 

manager. Indeed, the manager 

stated that they would fight 

for the right to do business 

as they see fit and 

challenged DLRA to oppose 

them. 

9t/fary's 

HiEir & NOY 

Sitting 

On July 29, DLRA reported 

the rock video disturbance 

to Parks Canada. Parks 

Canada then wrote to the 

General Manager of the 

Pavilion, complaining strongly 

about the serious 

disruption to the peace 

and enjoyment of residents. 

The General Manager has 

since expressed a desire 

that the Pavilion and its 

tenants not disturb their 

neighbours. 

However, as recently as 

September 1, Captains was 

still pumping late night 

rock across the lake. 

As well, on September 1 

and 2, as part of a Pavilion 

organized event, helicopters 

departing from 

near the Pavilion took 

sightseers on a route over 

Dow's Lake, the Glebe 

and Carleton University, 

thus causing virtually 

continuous noise for many 

residents for over six 

hours each day. Finally, 

on September 2, the Pavilion 

held an outdoor auction 

using loudspeakers which 

caused Dow's Lake residents 

to hear the proceedings 

word-for-word until 

a complaint by a Noise 

Committee member led to 

the discontinuation of the 

loudspeakers. 

Obviously, DLRA must 

continue to take the noise 

threat very seriously 

and do everything possible 

to preserve citizens' 

basic rights to peaceful 

enjoyment of their own 

properties and of public 

park lands.

BOOKS 

"Rope of Time" a labour of love 

By 

Sharon 

Abron 

Drache 

ROPE OF TIME 

by Larry Warwaruk 

Cormorant Books, 159 pgs 

$12.95 (paper) 

Over a decade ago when I 

first reviewed a book about 

Canadian immigrants, funded 

partially by the Multiculturalism 

Directorate of 

the Secretary of State, I 

learned there were over 

eighty visible minorities 

in our fair country. Likely, 

this figure has doubled as 

I was recently assured by 

a literary officer from 

Secretary of State that an 

Anglo-Saxon applying for a 

grant would likely succeed 

because he/she was a vanishing 

species. 

Cormorant specializes in 

books by authors writing 

about their native lands. 

They scored particularly 

well with Nino Ricci's Lives 

of the Saints, which walked 

off with several prestigious 

awards and has been on our 

national newspapers' bestseller 

lists for weeks. They 

will not have similar success 

with Rope of Time by 

Saskatchewan school principal, 

Larry Warwaruk; not 

that his book won't be a 

hit among the people about 

whom he writes: the Finns. 

The story of a Finnish 

family's trek from Finland 

to America, specifically 

Minnesota and Saskatchewan 

and back to Finland, 

with a stint in a Russian 

gulag, is at best robust and 

heart-warming story telling. 

But it lacks the gusto and 

connective tissue to make it 

a compelling read for the 

outsider. As Warwaruk desperately 

tries to recreate 

the lives of the Maki family 

through four generations, 

he falters, high-lighting 

in dry, documentary style 

(closer to journalism), the 

characteristics of the 

people who he obviously 

loves and cherishes. 

He makes it clear that he 

values their socialist prin- 

ciples and perhaps that is 

why Valhalla is Saskatchewan, 

where a third generation 

Maki homesteads. But 

it is also leftist politics 

that gets Finns in trouble. 

Only the earth-mother-heroine 

of the novel, Lempi, 

remains a pillar of strength. 

She is the pivotal point 

about which everything appears 

to happen, even when 

she is not directly involved. 

Lempi is no ordinary Finnish 

lady; she has inherited 

the faith and healing powers 

of her Shaman father. She 

can affect the way fate 

unfolds; at least she turns 

up often enough to yield 

this impression. She is the 

most ambitiously drawn 

character, even though she 

doesn't take up the most 

space. One of the shining 

moments in the book is at 

the beginning, when she 

gives birth, at age 14, to 

an illegitimate son in a 

sauna -- Finnish saunas 

are used as delivery 

rooms. Her experience birthing 

Tiasto contrasts sharply 

with the sauna scene in 

America with her brother 

and grown son and his friend. 

This time the sauna is for 

tough, Finnish males. Too 

hot and steamy for the 

women. 

As earth-mother and life 

sustainer, Lempi has her 

place, but it is still a 

man's world that Warwaruk 

describes. 

Direct promotion of this 

book to the Finnish community 

in Canada and the 

U.S. through the National 

Finnish Association and 

the Finnish North American 

Literature Society will 

no doubt produce sales. 

Cormorant is on to a substantial 

gravy train -- 

when are they going to 

sponsor that Anglo-Saxon?

September 

BY JULIA CHE 

Age 9 

I can't wait until September. 

My birthday is in September. 

September is the beginning of 

school and I can play with my 

friends again. Also my dance 

classes start again at the 

Ottawa Dance Academy. 

Last June at our recital, 

I was a pink octopus. My 

best friend was a red crab. 

The recital was fun and the 

costumes were neat. I'm 

going to be in a parade on 

Somerset Ave. 

September is one of my 

favourite months.

Goodreid invests exclusively in U.S. equity markets. 

Its diversified portfolio consists of the top 1% of companies.

CHURCH NEWS 

September is here again 

BY NEIL WILSON 

At Carleton University 

September means the usual 

frantic activity of registration, 

buying books, 

finding accommodation, and 

attending lectures. On 

campus this turns the quiet 

of August into the perpetual 

confusion and commotion of 

September. 

The students have returned. 

They have moved into the 

Glebe - some new, some returning 

- and have brought 

their own joys and problems 

into this dynamic community. 

If you have not already 

done so, please welcome 

the students back this fall. 

They live in the Glebe, 

frequent the stores and 

restaurants, attend the 

churches,and add their own 

high energy dimension to 

the community. 

As one of the Chaplains 

at Carleton, my interest 

is in the well-being of 

students. On campus the 

Chaplains provide counselling 

services, pastoral 

support, worship (both Catholic 

and Protestant) and 

a variety of programmes enphasizing 

a spiritual dimension 

in a religious context. 

Many students, expressing 

concerns ranging 

from homesickness to faith 

issues to finding new 

friends through the Christian 

and other religious 

clubs on campus, come to 

the Chaplains offices. We 

also help, wherever pos- 

St. Matthew's Church is 

organizing a conference 

on The Family in Transition 

which will take 

place September 20, 21 and 

22 and will be open to 

all. The conference will 

address questions relating 

to the family - the 

needs and responsibilities 

of family members in 

the 90s, how we can give 

and receive with our families, 

how we can meet 

the needs of others who 

have family problems. 

The speaker at the opening 

dinner on Friday evening 

TOUCII 

TIIE FUTURE 

sible, to integrate students 

into their new home in a 

new city with all of the 

new demands and responsibilities. 

For students who 

live in the Glebe, we help 

them to find and attend 

the churches located in the 

Glebe. 

It is a busy time. With 

enrolment around 16,000 

full time students and approximately 

1,700 of them 

living in the University 

residences, space is at a 

premium. So, many students 

look to, and locate in the 

Glebe. Within walking distance 

to Carleton, the 

quiet neighbourhoods are 

very close to convenient 

shopping, excellent restaurants 

and lively entertainment. 

For all residents in the 

Glebe and especially for 

those who attend the Glebe 

churches, this is an excellent 

opportunity to 

invite students to be 

part of your community and 

to involve them in various 

activities in your parish 

or congregation. They will 

value your interest and your 

friendship especially when 

assignments pile up, exams 

approach, and the pressure 

is on to both produce and 

excel. 

1991-92 promises to be an 

exciting and demanding year. 

Welcome and welcome back 

Carleton students: 

NeiZ Hunter is Ecumenical 

Chaplain at Carleton 

University. 

Conference on the family 

will be the Rev. Bernard 

Barrett, Rector of All 

Saints, Westboro. Workshop 

leaders on Saturday will 

include the Rev. Katharine 

Wallace, Tim Hogan of 

the Youth Services Bureau, 

Dr. Helen Brown of 

Queensway-Carleton General 

Hospital and Dr. Andrew 

Solomon, Psychiatrist. 

Dr. Alan Mirabelli, Director

of the Family, 

will speak at the Family 

Eucharist on Sunday morning.
