Herb and Spice<br />
but neighbour's may close<br />
By INEZ BERG<br />
The persistent pop-up<br />
question of whether the<br />
doors of the Herb and Spice<br />
Shop will be forced to close<br />
may soon be put to rest. On<br />
June 7, Doug Wallace of the<br />
City's legal department<br />
stated that tentative agreement<br />
was reached between<br />
counsel for the city and<br />
Kamal's Restaurant Inc. and<br />
Jeff Sugarman that the landlord<br />
will pay the city a<br />
cash-in-lieu settlement for<br />
the nine spaces required for<br />
Herb and Spice. In exchange<br />
the city will not seek the<br />
injunction to close the<br />
store which was opened without<br />
the required building<br />
inspection. He said that<br />
Sugarman will now be able to<br />
apply retroactively for a<br />
building permit and get an<br />
inspection.<br />
While agreeing with Sugarman's<br />
defense that it was<br />
the city's parking bylaw requirements<br />
for the store<br />
that prevented him from applying<br />
for a building permit,<br />
Wallace also confirmed that<br />
no attempt to apply was made<br />
until well after the renovations<br />
had begun and the<br />
city threatened legal action<br />
to close the store.<br />
Asked whether the integrity<br />
of the city's building<br />
code and bylaws might have<br />
been seriously undermined,<br />
he did not comment beyond<br />
saying that inspectors had<br />
visited the store to verify<br />
violations during the renov-<br />
ations and that the buildings<br />
branch was reasonably<br />
satisfied that no serious<br />
breach had occurred.<br />
Asked further if the city'<br />
could be held legally<br />
liable in the event of<br />
structural problems from<br />
work done in any case without<br />
proper approvals and inspection,<br />
he said, "I<br />
couldn't elaborate on that,<br />
but in this case we are<br />
reasonably satisfied there<br />
was no safety hazard."<br />
He added that the charges<br />
against Jeff Sugarman will<br />
still go to court in September.<br />
The three parking spaces<br />
required for Kamal's restaurant<br />
expansion were not mentioned,<br />
but the application<br />
to rezone 105-107 Third Avenue<br />
for demolition and redevelopment<br />
is in process at<br />
City Hall. Wallace indicat-<br />
ed, however, that the city<br />
might not favour demolition<br />
The application for rezoning<br />
to R4-X proposes to de-<br />
molish the current structure<br />
replace it with a smaller<br />
two-unit building in the extreme<br />
southwest corner of<br />
the lot and use the existing<br />
drive to access two resident<br />
ial parking spots for the<br />
building and six more along<br />
the north side of that lot<br />
and the lot behind Herb and<br />
Spice. Existing access to<br />
this space from Second Avenue<br />
hasn't been considered<br />
an option.<br />
A covering letter by Kamal's<br />
lawyer says Kamal is<br />
Highpoint delayed<br />
for further study<br />

that granting of the rezoning<br />

Ratna Ray named<br />
advisor to Peterson<br />
By JOAN OVER<br />
A <strong>Glebe</strong> resident, Ratna<br />
Ray, has been named to a<br />
, team of advisors assembled<br />
to prepare Liberal leader<br />
David Peterson for his tran-<br />
sition to power after 42<br />
years of Tory government in<br />
- Ontario.<br />
The ten-member team, consisting<br />
of five women and<br />
five men, has been meeting<br />
with Ontario public servants<br />
for the_pasu week or<br />
so to obtain information<br />
and to discuss provincial<br />
government procedures.<br />
The team includes representatives<br />
from a number of<br />
professions and backgrounds.<br />
Ray is a management consultant<br />
who has had extensive<br />
experience in the federal<br />
public service. Other members<br />
of the team are educator<br />
and race relations expert<br />

Ray, one of the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
Community Association's two<br />
vice-presidents and a regular<br />
contributor to the GleZ9e<br />
says the extra traffic, the<br />
noise and the illegal parking<br />
have caused him more<br />
stress and aggravation than<br />
he wants to cope with. He<br />
says, "Almost everyone on<br />
the street is against his<br />
store being there. Sugarman's<br />
so called "walk-in"<br />
traffic parks in front of my<br />
driveway by the hour almost<br />
every day. When I phone<br />
parking control they say<br />
"Oh yeah - we're familiar<br />
with the area." I'll never<br />
understand why the city<br />
didn't close him down in the<br />
first place." Why have bylaws<br />
if they won't enforce<br />
them."<br />
McBurnie feels media coverage<br />
was pretty one-sided.<br />

Plans for Avalon Mews revised<br />
By E. LISA MOSES<br />
Development plans for<br />
Avalon Mews have changed<br />
dramatically as a result of<br />
revisions to Ontario's<br />
"Convert to Rent" programme<br />
that subsidizes conversion<br />
of selected commercial properties<br />
into residential<br />
rentals.<br />
Original plans for the<br />
Mews, owned by Avalon Mews<br />
Limited, included converting<br />
the former Co-op Garage on<br />
Second Avenue and Bank<br />
Street into 38 much-needed<br />
residential units. Revised<br />
plans now call for renovation<br />
of the existing ground<br />
floor units along that section<br />
of Bank Street for cominercial<br />
use only.<br />
After researching the developer's<br />
proposal to convert<br />
the Co-op Garage into<br />
rental units, the province<br />
apparently gave him verbal<br />
assurances that the project<br />
could proceed on the basis<br />
of plans submitted, and expressed<br />
enthusiasm about<br />
this particular "Convert<br />
to Rent" project, which<br />
would have been the first of<br />
its kind in Ottawa.<br />
Delay<br />
After the provincial election,<br />
however, the developer<br />
was informed that the<br />
province was no longer certain<br />
it had the funding to<br />
continue supporting "Convert<br />
to Rent", and that interested<br />
developers were now re-<br />
quired to submit permits<br />
along with plans before consideration<br />
would be given to<br />
such proposals. At the same<br />
time, the City notified<br />
Avalon Mews Limited that it<br />
would have to provide two<br />
additional parking spaces to<br />
comply with bylaws before a<br />
permit would be issued.<br />
Records show that the developer<br />
supplied City Hall<br />
and the province with all<br />
the information they required<br />
well in advance of deadlines.<br />
According to sources<br />
the "buck-passing" between<br />
city and provincial governments,<br />
before making the<br />
necessary decisions, served<br />
to delay a reply to the developer<br />
until "the rules<br />
had changed in midstream."<br />
Sources report that the<br />
developer has, therefore,<br />
opted not to "begin at the<br />
beginning" of this lengthy<br />
and expensive process again,<br />
since no assurances appear<br />
to be forthcoming, and to<br />
restrict his activities to<br />
renovation of existing units.<br />
At a <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association<br />
meeting on May 28,<br />
representatives from Avalon<br />
Mews Limited asked the GCA<br />
to make recommendations for<br />
developing the remainder of<br />
the property under the new<br />
conditions, and to submit a<br />
proposal to them within<br />
four to six weeks. This is<br />
the first time in <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
history that a major developer<br />
has formally requested<br />
input from the community.<br />

Three-part workshop<br />
on children's books<br />
By INGRID DRAAYER<br />
"More, please!" was the<br />
consensus of participants<br />
in a three-part workshop on<br />
children's books held at<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre<br />
April 29, May 6 and May 13.<br />
The workshops were led by<br />
Joan Weller, a children's<br />
librarian with Ottawa<br />
Public Library, who inspired<br />
everyone with her enthusiasm<br />
and love for children's<br />
literature.<br />
Books for babies, picture<br />
books, poetry, fairy tales<br />
and first novels were examined;<br />
methods of judging<br />
and selecting children's<br />
books for their literary<br />
and aesthetic qualities as<br />
well as their appeal to<br />
children were reviewed. The<br />
need to encourage reading and<br />
foster an appreciation for<br />
books at home was emphasized<br />
throughout the sessions.<br />
Suggestions<br />
The participants were unanimous<br />
in their hope that<br />
the course be repeated in<br />
the fall. A worthwhile<br />
suggestion from Joan Weller<br />
was to organize a workshop<br />
to assist those interested<br />
in Christmas book buying<br />
for children.<br />

NEWS<br />
Further concerns for nearby residents<br />
frorn p. 1<br />
brief posed questions about<br />
sewage, drainage, safety of<br />
access, blockage of sunlight<br />
and heritage devaluation.<br />
The area's combined sewer<br />
system, which accommodates<br />
sewage and surface run-off<br />
has been inadequate for<br />
years. Surface run-off from<br />
the hilltop site will be<br />
greatly increased once much<br />
of its porous ground is covered<br />
by housing and asphalt<br />
drives. Expert opinion is<br />
that the current system cannot<br />
accommodate this or the<br />
daily sewage from seventeen<br />
new households.<br />
Access to the site from<br />
the Queen Elizabeth Driveway<br />
occurs near a traffic turning<br />
point on the hill where<br />
visibility is limited. Proposed<br />
access to the garages<br />
for the four south-eastern<br />
freehold units facing the<br />
Driveway.would involve a<br />
fairly steep grade and require<br />
the removal of a wooded<br />
area on NCC property.<br />
The blockage of sunlight<br />
to the homes immediately to<br />
the north and east of the<br />
site is another problem. Two<br />
Broadway residents have submitted<br />
their own briefs estimating<br />
a loss of winter sun<br />
on their properties for<br />
about five months each year<br />
should the proposed units,<br />
rising over forty feet in<br />
height, be installed on the<br />
hilltop directly south of<br />
and above their property.<br />
They are also concerned<br />
about construction undermining<br />
the hillside which con-<br />
tinues above their property<br />
lines.<br />
Of potential concern to<br />
the region, as well as to<br />
the residents, is the devaluation<br />
of the site as a heritage<br />
landmark in Ottawa.<br />
No definite commitments have<br />
been made by the developer<br />
to preserve the heritage<br />
qualities of the house.<br />
Visitors to the regally<br />
refurbished on-site trailer,<br />
which is now Melgro's sales<br />
office for the Highpoint devclopment,<br />
will hear nothing<br />
of the area's concerns.<br />
Construction is promised to<br />
begin in October and be completed<br />
by spring.<br />
Glossy brochures state<br />
plans to install three units<br />
in the Whyte house, a departure<br />
from plans filed<br />
with the city which specify<br />
two. This would create<br />
eighteen units on the site<br />
when present zoning allows<br />
for a maximum of seventeen.<br />
Recent plans to install a<br />
visitor parking lot in another<br />
conditionally acquired<br />
property next door at the<br />
eastern base of the hill are<br />
being described by sales<br />
staff. This news raises<br />
further concerns for nearby<br />
residents and will no doubt<br />
require further examination<br />
by the city.<br />
Meeting<br />

paper has gone to press) a<br />
Design Committee Meeting<br />
will deal with the developmentes<br />

"Poor little Jeff Sugarman,"<br />
he said. "He's been crying<br />
to the newspapers and the<br />
TV about his seniority in<br />
the area and the raw deal<br />
he's been getting. My dog's<br />
got more seniority than he<br />
has. I've been here longer<br />
than him or Kamal and I make<br />
a lot less money than either<br />
of them and no one's been<br />
asking my opinion."<br />
He says he and other residents<br />
feel that if Kamal gets<br />
the go-ahead to rezone it<br />
will set a precedent that<br />
could threaten other properties<br />
in the area.<br />
He shares a driveway with<br />
105-107 Third Avenue and he<br />
feels that the residential<br />
value of his property will<br />
be seriously undermined by a<br />
commercial access running<br />
along side of it.<br />
While he and other residents<br />
have written letters<br />
and made phone calls of protest<br />
he says they have not<br />
organized in any way.<br />
In the meantime he says he<br />
wants out. "Kamal would be<br />
willing to buy me out, he<br />
says, but for less than half<br />
the price it would cost me<br />
to relocate in the <strong>Glebe</strong>."<br />

Morning workout a community effort<br />
By MARGARET RUDOLF<br />
It's not often that traffic<br />
is blocked for stretching<br />
arms and panting lungs, but<br />
this unusual mini-fitness<br />
workout was organized by the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Business Group to prove<br />
that life in the <strong>Glebe</strong> is<br />
special, and it's worth<br />
slowing down to enjoy what<br />
the community has to offer.<br />
On Thursday, June 6, morning<br />
traffic on Bank Street<br />
was stopped between Fifth are<br />
First Avenues so about 200<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> residents could participate<br />
in a stretch-out<br />
with Brenda Lauzon, fitness<br />
organizer for CBCs Midday<br />
programme. Lauzon's exercise<br />
clips are taken from<br />
scenic spots across Canada,<br />
and now the <strong>Glebe</strong> and its<br />
residents will be on the<br />
national screen in the next<br />
few days.<br />
"This is the first community<br />
we've taped for the<br />
fitness segment of Midday,"<br />
said Joan Woodward, <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
resident and producer-director<br />
for Midday. "Ernie Saar<br />
contacted me and we thought<br />
the idea was great, and<br />
good promotion for the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong>".<br />
It was only about one<br />
month ago that Saar, chairman<br />
of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Business<br />
Group, started organizing<br />
to get T-shirts printed and<br />
residents involved in the<br />
morning workout. "The costs<br />
involved were minimal. What<br />
is important is that it's<br />
a community effort," said<br />
Saar, owner of Ernie's Smoke<br />
Shop.<br />
HELENE BRUCE PUCCINI<br />
BARRISTER & SOLICITOR<br />
"We're trying to get this<br />
part of Bank Street peopleoriented,"<br />
said John Leaning,<br />
of Leaning Associates.<br />
"We'd like to prove to city<br />
council it's possible to<br />
add chairs, tables and trees<br />
along Second and Third Avenues<br />
so people could sit<br />
and have a coffee". Leaning<br />
added even with a huge CBC<br />
production van parked along<br />
Second and Bank, cars were<br />
still able to circulate<br />
freely.<br />
"This section of Bank Street<br />
has so much character.<br />
It's not yet been spiffied<br />
like Elgin Street,",said<br />
Michael Cassidy, the member<br />
of Parliament for Ottawa<br />
South. Cassidy jumped with<br />
other participants in time<br />
with Lauzon's exercises.<br />
Britannia Alderman Marlene<br />
Catterall wore her jogging<br />
togs, although she admitted<br />
she really jogs only between<br />
meetings. "But I'm here<br />
because this is a great<br />
community effort," she said.<br />
"The <strong>Glebe</strong> has a village atmosphere,<br />
it's just marvelous<br />
to see historic buildings<br />
restored."<br />

LETTERS<br />
Enforcing by-law<br />
Editor, <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong>:<br />
Last Friday, at the new<br />
location of Herb'n'Spice on<br />
Third Avenue, I was asked by<br />
the cashier to sign a petition<br />
in support of the store<br />
remaining open because the<br />
City of Ottawa was trying<br />
to shut it down. With further<br />
discussion, it became<br />
quite apparent to me the<br />
City was enforcing the by-law<br />
which requires new businesses<br />
to provide a certain number<br />
of parking spaces for customers.<br />
This by-law was in<br />
effect prior to the Herbin'<br />
Spice relocating to Third<br />
Avenue. As a frequent customer,<br />
who does not live in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> (I live in close<br />
proximity to the <strong>Glebe</strong>, in<br />
old Ottawa' South), I sometimes<br />
use my car to patronize<br />
the store.<br />
Common sense<br />
It is my understanding<br />
that by-laws are put into<br />
effect for common-sense<br />
reasons such as order, fairness<br />
and protection. Bylaws<br />
apply to all individuals.<br />
It appears to me the<br />
City of Ottawa is doing the<br />
job expected by citizens<br />
and tax payers of this city<br />
by enforcing the by-laws of<br />
this city.<br />

A new rider in the GCA saddle<br />
By JIM MC<br />
CARTHY<br />
Readers may have noticed<br />
the absence of Rob Quinn's<br />
smiling visage at the top<br />
of this column. After two<br />
years in the saddle, he has<br />
finally managed to pass<br />
the reins of office to<br />
another marginally willing<br />
victim.<br />
The occasion for this<br />
handover was the GCA's Annual<br />
General Meeting (AGM)<br />
an May 14. This meeting<br />
was highlighted by statements<br />
from two declared mayoralty<br />
candidates, and the opportunity<br />
to question them on<br />
their views on a variety of<br />
issues.<br />
The new slate of GCA Directors<br />
coming out of this<br />
year's AGM can be found<br />
elsewhere in this issue.<br />
One feature of this slate<br />
is the addition of a second<br />
director to represent<br />
business interests, consistent<br />
with the renewal surge of<br />
interest in our business<br />
community.<br />
In last month's column<br />
and at the AGM, Rob and I<br />
mentioned the contributions<br />
of retiring directors, particularly<br />

expert on Lansdowne<br />

matters. I shall limit<br />
further tributes to an expression<br />
of thanks and appreciation<br />
to Rob Quinn.<br />
My predecessor has bequeathed<br />
me an organization that is<br />
in excellent shape in terms<br />
of its membership, its administrative<br />
efficiency,<br />
its ability to react to new<br />
situations and issues, and<br />
the respect in which we<br />
are held by the various<br />
bodies and groups which<br />
act on and within our neighbourhood<br />
(e.g. the City,<br />
Region, developers, business<br />
community, etc).<br />
Those of us who have worked<br />
with Rob know how much<br />
this state of affairs is<br />
due to Rob's personal<br />
efforts. His is quite an<br />
act to follow, and he has<br />
left me a substantial<br />
agenda. Now to business:<br />

GLEBE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION<br />
1984-1985 REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS<br />
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MAY 14, 1985<br />
INTRODUCTION<br />
The Directors decided to publish<br />
'rather than mail individual copies<br />
of the Annual <strong>Report</strong>, which was<br />
adopted unanimously at the Annual<br />
General Meeting. This form of distribution<br />
saves time and high postal<br />
costs, supports the <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
and takes advantage of its<br />
excellent circulation.<br />
FINANCES<br />
The GCA's net surplus under the<br />
stewardship of Treasurer Harold<br />
Jones increased from $5891 in 1984<br />
to $8,031 in 1985. This results in<br />
a substantial contribution to the<br />
reserve for major contingencies.<br />
MEMBERSHIP<br />
The 1984-85 residential membership<br />
drive did not produce the level of<br />
past increases. Nevertheless, with<br />
a membership of over 2200 adults,<br />
the GCA remains one of the largest<br />
associations, If not the largest,<br />
of its type in the region.<br />
Thanks for this achievement go to<br />
the block reps, the area directors<br />
and to coordinator Barbara Liddy,<br />
who has been overseeing the computerization<br />
of the membership list.<br />
The next step is its transfer from<br />
a commercial service to the GNAG's<br />
IBM PC. This will cut costs, improve<br />
access to the list and make<br />
use of community-owned resources.<br />
GLEBE BUSINESS GROUP<br />
Business membership quadrupled<br />
from a base of 21 to 85 businesses.<br />
This remarkable increase<br />
arose from the establishment of<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> Business Group led by<br />
Judy Richards of Davidson's Jewellers<br />
and Myrna Fenton of the Two<br />
Sister's Dress Shoppe.<br />
Brooke Briggs, director for Business<br />
interests undertook a survey<br />
of <strong>Glebe</strong> businesses and thus helped<br />
to lay the groundwork for this<br />
successful initiative.<br />
The <strong>Glebe</strong> Business Group plans to<br />
work closely with the resident members<br />
on matters of common concern<br />
and also to pursue activities<br />
unique to business concerns on a<br />
self financing basis, for example,<br />
special events and advertising.<br />
The GCA may be the only Ottawa<br />
neighbourhood association to unite<br />
residents and businesses in one<br />
organization.<br />
In so doing, the GCA has provided<br />
a common forum to (a) debate and<br />
resolve potential conflicts, (b)<br />
discuss and decide upon matters of<br />
mutual interest and (c) pursue<br />
them with a common front.<br />
NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING<br />
Last year's report referred to a<br />
GCA appeal against a Committee of<br />
Adjustment decision. The Association,<br />
well represented by former<br />
GCA vice president (and architect)<br />
Herbert Otto, successfully argued<br />
that six units was too dense for<br />
the property at 5th and O'Connor.<br />
The builders then proposed four<br />
units and prior to the revised submission<br />
to City Hall, discussed it<br />
satisfactorily with the Board.<br />
REGIONAL PLAN REVIEVV<br />
The revision process of the Regional<br />
Official Plan saw Wayne Kauk,<br />
director for Neighbourhood Planning,<br />
chairing a committee of citywide<br />
community representatives who<br />
met nearly every week all through<br />
last summer. With Jim McCarthy, he<br />
drafted the GCA's 10 page well received<br />
brief to the Region.<br />
AVALON IVIEVWS<br />
In January 1985, Messrs. Sal Khan<br />
and Michael Courdin met with the<br />
directors to discuss plans for the<br />
buildings on the west side of Bank<br />
Street from McPherson's Gallery<br />
(non-inclusive) to Second Avenue<br />
and around the corner to the old<br />
Avalon Theatre, which until recently<br />
housed the Co-op Garage.<br />
They proposed to renovate the Bank<br />
Street stores and to convert the<br />
old theatre into 36 small, rental<br />
units. Mr. Khan also mentioned the<br />
possible erection of an apartment<br />
building "on stilts" over the parking<br />
area.<br />
The February <strong>Glebe</strong> <strong>Report</strong> produced<br />
an illustrated front page feature<br />
story. The GCA column provided the<br />
names and telephone numbers of two<br />
directors ready to take comments.<br />
The column also stated that the<br />
GCA would hold a public meeting if<br />
there seemed to be sufficient interest.<br />
There was but one call and<br />
it was in favour of the project.<br />
Mr. Khan undertook not to proceed<br />
with the additional apartment building<br />
over the parking area if the<br />
community opposed it.<br />
The Board concluded that the basic<br />
project would (a) fit within the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Neighbourhood Plan, (h) upgrade<br />
the quality of buildings in<br />
the Bank Street area, (c) provide<br />
improved parking and (d) increase<br />
Ottawa's rental apartment accommodation,<br />
which is in short supply.<br />
Unfortunately, scandalously slow<br />
handling of the application by<br />
City staff, coupled with an unexpected<br />
tightening in the availability<br />
of Ontario Housing Corporation<br />
funds, forced the cancellation of<br />
the 36 apartments.<br />
THE WHYTE HOUSE<br />
A suddenly announced condominium<br />
development of the former papal<br />
legate's residence at 520 The<br />
Driveway aroused a worried response<br />
from neighbours and heritage<br />
interests. City Hall had not received<br />
any plans prior to the erection<br />
of the sign in' front of the<br />
Whyte house, which dates to 1876.<br />
At the GCA's invitation, Messrs.<br />
Morris Melamud and Peter Pivko,<br />
the project architect, presented<br />
their plans to the April monthly<br />
meeting, which many neighbours<br />
attended as well.<br />
The Board concluded that Melgro<br />
Developments' application to the<br />
Committee of Adjustment for severances<br />
was premature. The GCA supported<br />
the Planning Branch's request<br />
to delay the severances until<br />
the Branch completed its examination<br />
of the site plan and related<br />
heritage aspects of the application.<br />
(Subsequently Melgro withdrew<br />
the application temporarily.)<br />
Wayne Kauk chaired a committee of<br />
directors and concerned neighbours<br />
charged with the preparation of a<br />
brief for Green Island and the NCC<br />
by Friday, May 17, 1985. The results<br />
may be one of the subjects<br />
of next year's Annual <strong>Report</strong>.<br />
TRAFFIC<br />
Roger Short monitored the Queensway<br />
Traffic Corridor Study, which<br />
will continue into 1985-86. Recently<br />
at a public display by the Ontario<br />
Department of Highways and<br />
Communications, Roger discovered<br />
that the regional and provincial<br />
road planners could improve their<br />
"communications".<br />
Apparently, the regional planners<br />
are considering a new and better<br />
eastbound access from Bronson onto<br />
the Queensway. The Ontario Highways<br />
engineers were not yet aware<br />
of this interesti%g and potentially<br />
attractive idea.<br />
SOCIAL PLANNING<br />
Mayor Dewar wrote to all community<br />
associations to request their support<br />
on last summer's day care crisis.<br />
GCA directors, after a special<br />
meeting in August, wrote to<br />
the various governments to urge a<br />
satisfactory solution of the matter.<br />
Perhaps this action played a<br />
small role in the eventual improvement<br />
of the situation.<br />
The directors also endorsed the<br />
provision of space at Lansdowne<br />
Park for the <strong>Glebe</strong> Daycare Centre,<br />
which now operates in the Community<br />
Centre and nearby schools.<br />
The GCA made representations to<br />
Council to support controls on the<br />
location of "strip joints". The<br />
GCA believes that the community<br />
would not welcome them in the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> and the neighbours in Ottawa<br />
South definitely want to lose the<br />
one they have.<br />
RECREATION<br />
With Christine Wilson as coordinator,<br />
a GCA team entered Winterlude's<br />
Great Canadian Bedrace,<br />
completed the course, and won a<br />
prize for best decorated-bed.<br />
CANDIDATES FORUM<br />
Under the able direction of Jim<br />
McCarthy, the GCA sponsored two<br />
political meetings. Dr. E.P. Weeks<br />
chaired the August 1984 meeting<br />
with great skill. The April 1985<br />
meeting for the provincial candidates<br />
was equally successful.<br />
At the August meeting, two candidates<br />
occupied the stage and demanded<br />
to speak at a time of their<br />
choosing rather than that of the<br />
GCA. At the GCA's request, the<br />
police removed these candidates<br />
who were charged with trespassing.<br />
While one charge is still pending,<br />
the other led to a conviction.<br />
That decision helps to reaffirm<br />
the right to organize a political<br />
meeting without fear of outside<br />
interference or disruption.<br />
LANSDOWNE PARK<br />
There has been progress on the<br />
Park and related activities.<br />
THE EX<br />
A public meeting held just after<br />
the event concluded that the 1983<br />
EX was the worst in living memory<br />
for noise,<br />
traffic and general<br />
aggravation. Consequently, the<br />
last two years witnessed a lot of<br />
GCA work, much of it by Don Ray.<br />
Notwithstanding a senior City<br />
official's recommendation last<br />
summer not to enforce the bylaw<br />
againstTiwn parking, the end<br />
result appears to be a positive<br />
change of City Council's attitude<br />
to EX-related problem.<br />
The Central Canada Exhibition<br />
Association appointed a new general<br />
manager, former Ottawa mayor<br />
Don Reid. He responded positively<br />
to GCA requests to improve traffic<br />
flows and to reduce noise.<br />
The <strong>Glebe</strong>'s consensus on the 1984<br />
EX was that it was the "best in<br />
forty years" with respect to noise<br />
and general aggravation, in spite<br />
of an all-time record attendance.<br />
Mr. Reid has promised that for the<br />
1985 EX, he will do better because<br />
he will have had more time to work<br />
on solutions to alleviate EX-originated<br />
problems for the <strong>Glebe</strong>.<br />
(NOTE: It was a pleasure to welcome<br />
Don Reid to the Annual Meeting<br />
at which he, as someone who<br />
lives or works in the <strong>Glebe</strong>, became<br />
a GCA memberi<br />
EX Parking/Traffic Control<br />
The EX over its ten day period concentrates<br />
at Lansdowne Park and in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> an extraordinary number<br />
of people, nearly 750,000 in 1984,<br />
the equivalent of nearly every<br />
man, woman and child in the OTTAWA-<br />
HULL Census Metropolitan Area.<br />
Hence, GCA representations to<br />
Green Island, summarized in the<br />
1984 brief on traffic control,<br />
argued that effective parking<br />
enforcement of off and on street<br />
parking rules, coupled with practical<br />
"park and ride", bus and<br />
taxi services, were fundamental to<br />
a safe and tolerable Ex.<br />
Ottawa Transpo, with some political<br />
and community encouragement,<br />
seized the opportunity to provide<br />
better service for the 1984 EX<br />
with a temporary bus depot near<br />
Lansdowne Park, together with the<br />
use of satellite parking lots.<br />
This arrangement, the GCA understands,<br />
will continue, perhaps<br />
with a combined TRANSPO/EX pass to<br />
encourage greater use of the bus<br />
to the 1985 EX.<br />
Park Developnnent<br />
In the words of Mayor Marion Dewar<br />
(March 14, 1985 letter to Mr. Gerard<br />
Robard, 650 O'Connor St.) the<br />
"Development Plan for Lansdowne<br />
Park is a concept plan only, which<br />
has been approved in principle by<br />
Council."<br />
As taxpayers, GCA members must<br />
remain positive but vigilant in<br />
their outlook to ensure that Lansdowne<br />
Park investments or expenditures<br />
are both economic and consistent<br />
with its inner city location<br />
and limited access. This reflects<br />
the basic message of the GCA brief<br />
to Council prior to its adoption<br />
of the "concept plan".<br />
At a more immediate and practical<br />
level, Council approved the installation<br />
of a new public address system,<br />
a long overdue improvement<br />
the Association heartily endorses.<br />
When it is operational, perhaps<br />
the people in the stadium will<br />
hear the speaker system and the<br />
neighbours won't.<br />
FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES<br />
The formation of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Business<br />
Group within the Association<br />
originates in part because of the<br />
need to rejuvenate the physical<br />
image and structure of the Bank,<br />
Bronson and Isabella retail areas.<br />
Retail competition is keen throughout<br />
Ottawa. To prosper, <strong>Glebe</strong> merchants<br />
have to attract shoppers<br />
from other parts of the City. That<br />
means the <strong>Glebe</strong> must find ways to<br />
improve its parking and traffic capacity<br />
- without damaging the residential<br />
area.<br />
Another major City issue arises<br />
from the need for relatively inexpensive<br />
rental apartment accommodation.<br />
It might be possible to<br />
develop one or two floors of apartments<br />
on existing Bank Street buildings.<br />
The approved <strong>Glebe</strong> Neighbourhood<br />
Plan refers to such a<br />
concept (page 12, para. (iii)).<br />
That sort of development, which<br />
does not increase through traffic,<br />
could also play an important part<br />
In strengthening the market base<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> merchants need.<br />
Defensive measures have of necessity<br />
dominated GCA activities over<br />
the years. The need for such vigilance<br />
will unfortunately continue.<br />
However, the directors are confident<br />
that GCA members, resident<br />
and business alike, now sense the<br />
need to initiate positive, cooperative<br />
action to improve the physical<br />
structure and general wellbeing<br />
of the community.<br />

Local support for Capital Park Fund<br />
By MICHEL RENE DE COTRET<br />
On May 25, after several<br />
months planning and work, an<br />
auction and bake sale was<br />
held at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community<br />
Centre for the Capital Park<br />
Development Fund. About 110<br />
people attended and thanks<br />
to the generous donations<br />
of the community and merchants<br />
$1900 was raised.<br />
The City will now match this<br />
amount.<br />
On June 18, at 8 pm a<br />
meeting will be held in the<br />
Community Centre to decide<br />
how to use this money. The<br />
community is invited to<br />
attend and make their views<br />

A cope kit for parents<br />
By MARJORIE FAIRHALL<br />
The <strong>Glebe</strong> Wellness Centre<br />
responded to a need in the<br />
community by presenting<br />
weekly workshops for parents<br />
who are experiencing difficulties<br />
with relationships in<br />
the family. These informal<br />
meetings offer insight and<br />
understanding through empathetic<br />
listening and sharing,<br />
practical information and<br />
role-play. Parents are encouraged<br />
to examine alternative<br />
ways of coping with<br />

as learning how to identify<br />

Problems<br />
The problems shared by<br />
many parents today are best<br />
described as behavioural,<br />
with lack of respect, lack<br />
of initiative and lack of<br />

frustrated by their seeming<br />
inability to control the<br />
situation effectively.<br />

rebellious behaviour and other has been guiding these<br />

Second oral history of "the Valley"<br />
BOOKS<br />
LAUGHING ALL THE WAY HOME'<br />
by Joan Finnigan<br />
Deneau Publishers,<br />
160 pages, $16.95<br />
How miraculous is the legacy<br />
of laughter. As miraculous<br />
as the legacy of love<br />
suggests Joan Finnigan as<br />
she celebrates humour inherent<br />
in the oral histories<br />
of the Ottawa Valley.<br />
Enamoured of her own<br />
Irish origins shared by<br />
eighty percent of the Valley's<br />
inhabitants, her<br />
ongoing search since the<br />
mid 1970's has been for<br />
stories reflecting a people's<br />
pride and rootedness<br />
to their culture. She is<br />
obsessed with collecting<br />
these stories because of<br />
their importance to the<br />
composite of Canadian folklore.<br />
(The Valley's population<br />
represents 12 percent<br />
of Canada.) Lumbering<br />
sagas, tall tales, spoonerisms,<br />
"come allyes" and<br />
"fiddlin' good times" are<br />
still exchanged by a people<br />
who inhabit a metaphoric<br />
island, in its own way as<br />
tightly structured and cut<br />
off as Newfoundland.<br />
She explains the unique<br />
geography by describing<br />
the Ottawa River as a dominating<br />
master, travelling<br />
700 tumultous miles<br />
from Lake Capimichigama<br />
(about 155 miles north of<br />
Ottawa) to join the St.<br />
Lawrence just west of<br />
Montreal. However, it's not<br />
only the river that defines<br />
Finnigan's metaphoric island<br />
of the Ottawa Valley;<br />
it's the mountains, the<br />
Opeongo Hills on the west<br />
and the Gatineau Hills on<br />
the east, perimeters acting<br />
as bulwarks against the infiltration<br />
of outside influences.<br />
A distinctive geography<br />
fed by a colourful Irish<br />
imagination has enabled<br />
the Valley's major 19th<br />
century lumbering indus try<br />
to wax mythological. Trees<br />
in the Valley had to be<br />
taller than anywhere else<br />
in the country, the lumberjacks<br />
transformed into<br />
giants, the timber barons'<br />
homes into castles. Men<br />
who went into the bush were<br />
as exciting as men who went<br />
to sea. The Irish love of<br />
exaggeration set these men<br />
and their wives apart from<br />
their counterparts in New<br />
Brunswick and British<br />
Columbia.<br />
Time's joke<br />
That's why six-foot-six<br />
Larry Foster of Pembroke<br />
who worked in lumbercamps<br />
as far north as Temiscaming<br />
was called Goliath of the<br />
River. He gained a reputation<br />
as an expert canoeist,<br />
libertine and outlaw. Once<br />
he killed a wildcat with<br />
his bare hands. When he<br />
died he was buried outside<br />
the cemetery against the<br />
fence. "But time played a<br />
joke and drew a circle that<br />
included him in. The Roman<br />
Catholic cemetery had to<br />
expand and the only direction<br />
it could go was around<br />
Larry Foster's resting<br />
place. So today he lies in<br />
the very midst of respectables<br />
who refused to give<br />
him ground many years ago."<br />
While lumberjacks and<br />
shantymen occupy much of the<br />
lore limelight, fur traders,<br />
miners, businessmen and<br />
politicians have also been<br />
orally mythologized. G.A.<br />
Howard, the first Ford<br />
dealer, is remembered for<br />
his purchase of a typewriter<br />
complete with a<br />
stenographer who took shorthand.<br />
So proud was he of<br />
the package that he paraded<br />
Joan Finnigan<br />
the good woman typing the<br />
new machine aboard a crepe<br />
paper decorated horse drawn<br />
buggy down Main Street.<br />
During the first World War,<br />
the same G.A.Howard heard<br />
the news that Sebastopol<br />
had fallen to the Germans.<br />
Anxious to share the news<br />
with his neighbour, he<br />
announced in his particular<br />
Irish dialect: "Did you<br />
hear the Cesspool fell?"<br />
The ability to laugh at<br />
oneself, to realize one's<br />
foibles fall within the<br />
universal human spectrum<br />
(even if one is a member<br />
of the Clergy, often especially),remains<br />
the underlying<br />
premise of much of<br />
the rich and often irreverant<br />
Valley humour.<br />
Macho men and unliberated<br />
women are the stock characters<br />
with one famous exception,<br />
Ottawa's first<br />
female mayor, Charlotte<br />
Whitton (1896-1975), who<br />
was elected four times to<br />
that office. A tough lady,<br />
feared for her temper and<br />
frenetic city council meetings,<br />
she is reputed to<br />
have once said, "To succeed<br />
as a woman, you have<br />
to be twice as capable as<br />
a man. Fortunately, it's<br />
not difficult." Once when<br />
Whitton was entertaining<br />
the Lord Mayor of London,<br />
he tried to flatter her<br />
by commenting on the rose<br />
corsage pinned to her dress.<br />
"Miss Whitton," he whispered<br />
in her ear, "If I lean over<br />
and smell your rose, do<br />
you blush?" Charlotte<br />
looked at him a moment and<br />
snapped back, "If I pull<br />
your chain, do you flush?"<br />
Finnigan tells readers<br />
she has transcribed these<br />
stories for the sake of<br />
laughter but it is clear<br />
after reading her fifth book<br />
and second oral history of<br />
the Ottawa Valley that<br />
laughter without love is<br />
hardly a laugh at all.<br />
On the basis of her oral<br />
history collections, Joan<br />
Finnigan has been invited<br />
to speak about the Ottawa<br />
Valley at the First<br />
International Conference<br />
of Irish Humour in Cork,<br />

Masonry stove-heater<br />
By KAY STEWART<br />
With the arrival of spring,<br />
painting and other home<br />
renovations are the order<br />
of the day. So also are<br />
tours of selected homes<br />
arranged by organizations.<br />
If a tour of selected <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
homes should be contemplated,<br />
an interesting one to<br />
include in the itinerary<br />
would be the Lomer home<br />
at 306 Clemow Avenue.<br />
This spring, the Lomers<br />
are renovating their basement<br />
and have had a Finnish<br />
design, masonry stoveheater<br />
built in their<br />
newly created "rec" room.<br />
When the idea to finish<br />
their basement first came<br />
to mind, they thought of<br />
including a wood stove as<br />
an adjunct to reduce heating<br />
cost. Then they learned<br />
about masonry stove-heaters<br />
and were lured from purchasing<br />
a conventional wood<br />
stove by the promise that<br />
a masonry one would yield<br />
more comfortable heat from<br />
less wood and could be expected<br />
to slash other fuel<br />
consumption by about half.<br />
In outward appearance<br />
their masonry heater appears<br />
to be a firebox set in a<br />
massive wall of brick.<br />
When fully completed, the<br />
brick will be overlaid<br />
with pale grey ceramic tile<br />
to blend with the colour<br />
of the other walls. Behind<br />
the masonry, it was learned<br />
it has a twisting,convoluted<br />
smoke passage. When the<br />
fire is lit, the masonry<br />
wall will soak up its heat<br />
like a sponge and then give<br />
it off slowly and evenly<br />
over a long period of time,<br />
warming the surrounding<br />
area. Retained warmth<br />
of the wall will continue<br />
to function long after the<br />
fire is out, it was explained.<br />
Does this heated wall<br />
present a danger to young<br />
children? Not at all. It<br />
will never be more than<br />
warm. According to the<br />
owner of one such heater,<br />
the only time her toddler<br />
has to be watched is during<br />
the two-hour firing period<br />
when the- doors of the firebox<br />
get hot.<br />
Well known in central<br />
Europe, masonry heaters<br />
are available in different<br />
styles. As well as the<br />
Finnish contrafIow style<br />
installed in the Lomer<br />
home, there is the Russian<br />
fireplace, the Swedish<br />
"Kakelugnar", and the German<br />
"Kachelofen". The<br />
Finnish centraflow heater<br />
is distinguishedfrom other<br />
masonry heaters by the shape<br />
of its combustion chamber<br />
which ensures a complete<br />
burn, at the same time<br />
allowing the unit to be<br />
used as an open fireplace.<br />
Today in Finland, 50% of<br />
the national brick production<br />
goes into masonry<br />
heaters and a new home does<br />
not qualify for a government<br />
mortgage unless it is equipped<br />
with a contraflow<br />
heater.<br />
Few Canadian masons have<br />
learned the technique of<br />
building masonry heaters.<br />
The Lomers can boast of<br />
having the first one in<br />
Ottawa. It was constructed<br />
for them by Norbert Senf.<br />
Senf, a Canadian with a<br />
background in both engineering<br />
and masonry, learned<br />
his construction techniques<br />
from Finnish experts brought<br />
to Maine, U.S.A., for a<br />
workshop organized by Albie<br />
Bardon.<br />
Since his discovery of<br />
the Finnish contraflow<br />
heater, Senf has built more<br />
than 20 of them, the first<br />

difference", he says. "With<br />
the wood stove our feet<br />
were always cold because<br />
the heat went straight up.<br />
But, the first time I lit<br />
the contraflow, I put one<br />

Autocross banished from Lansdowne Park<br />
by<br />
Alderman<br />
Howard Smith<br />
City Council has decided<br />
not to allow the Autocross<br />
at Lansdowne Park. Despite<br />
the disruption caused by<br />
this event in 1984 and<br />
numerous complaints from<br />
residents, Council initially<br />
voted to allow the Autocross<br />
again. Some one hundred<br />
people wrote directly<br />
to Council protesting this<br />
decision and with this expression<br />
of community support,<br />
we were able to convince<br />
Council to reverse<br />
its decision. A key role<br />
was played by Jim McCarthy,<br />
the newly elected President<br />
of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Association,<br />
who cooperated<br />
with my office to push<br />
the case to exclude the<br />
Autocross from Lansdowne<br />
Park. Many thanks Jim.<br />

GCA Meeting<br />
The annual general meeting<br />
of the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community<br />
Association was most interesting<br />
again this year. It<br />
clearly indicated the success<br />
the Association has<br />
recorded during the last<br />
twelve months. Tribute<br />
is to be paid to the work<br />
of the outgoing Executive,<br />
particularly Dan Ray for<br />
his work on Lansdowne Park.<br />
Rob Quinn did a masterly<br />
job as President for the<br />
last two years. Very well<br />
done, Rob. Also thanks for<br />
your kind remarks about my<br />
office in your last column.<br />
Women's Resource Centre<br />
City Council has approved<br />
a grant of $10,000 to assist<br />
in the creation of a Women's<br />
Resource Center. The Center<br />
will provide advice and<br />
support to individual women<br />
and women's groups as<br />
they proceed in dealing with<br />
the challenges and barriers<br />
they encounter currently.<br />
Council has also approved<br />
a $4,500 grant to Kaleidoscope,<br />
a conference exploring<br />
economic advancement<br />
for women. Another grant<br />
of $3,000 has been given to<br />
promote the participation<br />
of girls and women in fitness<br />
and sports.<br />
Herb and Spice<br />
Complaints are continuing<br />
to come in from Third Avenue<br />
residents that cars are<br />
blocking the street and<br />
their driveways as a result<br />
of insufficient parking<br />
for shoppers going to the<br />
Herb and Spice Shop. The<br />
application to rezone the<br />
adjacent parcel of land to<br />
allow for a portion of<br />
the parking required is<br />
proceeding.<br />
Capital Park<br />
Some $2,000 was raised<br />
on May 25 at a community<br />
auction. The money will be<br />
used to upgrade Capital<br />
Park. Congratulations to<br />
the auction committee, namely<br />
Jo Irwin, Jean McCarthy,<br />
Michel René de Cotret,<br />
Elaine Konecny, Patti<br />
Libbey, Suzanne Friedlaender<br />
and Cindy Delage.<br />
Mutchmor School Fete<br />
Many parents and children<br />
gathered May 30 to celebrate<br />
Mutchmor School's 90th<br />
birthday. In addition to<br />
bringing greetings from<br />
City Council, my remarks<br />
underlined the important<br />
role the school plays in<br />
this community. Reference<br />
was also made to the good<br />
cooperation between my<br />
office and School Trustees<br />
John Smart and Don Francis<br />
in achieving the upgrading<br />
of the school's playground.<br />
King's Daughters<br />
It was a great pleasure<br />
to attend the annual tea<br />
of the King's Daughters<br />
on June 1. It was enjoyed<br />
by all despite the cool<br />
weather after the large<br />
storm that struck our<br />
area. The baked goods we<br />
purchased at the sale were<br />
delicious.<br />
Parking Study<br />
The issuance of the long<br />
awaited parking study of<br />
Bank Street has been delayed<br />
again. In response<br />
to concerns expressed by<br />
business people and the<br />
GCA, my office has exercised<br />
some influence to speed<br />

Congratulations to Richard<br />
Carver of Third Avenue and<br />
Myles Frosst of Renfrew<br />

to serve on the City's<br />
Taxi Advisory Committee<br />
which is responsible for<br />
advising Council on all<br />
aspects of the taxi industry.<br />
Avalon Mews<br />
The developer of Avalon<br />
Mews has announced that<br />
the loss of Provincial funding<br />
will result in no housing<br />
units being included<br />
in this project at Bank<br />
and Second Avenue. The matter<br />
was discussed at some<br />
length during the GCA recent<br />
board meeting when concerns<br />
were expressed about the<br />
slowness with which the application<br />
for this project<br />
was handled by the Buildings<br />
Branch at City Hall. I<br />
agree with these concerns<br />
and readers may recall the<br />
problems highlighted in<br />
this column last summer<br />
about Buildings Branch nonenforcement<br />
of the front<br />

Finding your<br />
fashion category<br />
By WINSTON TANNIS<br />
Preppie? Punk? New Wave?<br />
Mod? Hard Rocker? Jock? Which<br />
one of these categories do<br />
you fit under? Or maybe you<br />
are a little schizo, and fit<br />
under several? Then again,<br />
you could be alien to all the<br />
above-mentioned groups.<br />
Nevertheless, you need not<br />
worry. This article will<br />
cover them all. Not in<br />
detail, but in general (getting<br />
too specific is always<br />
dangerous). I have chosen<br />
the above groups because they<br />
seem to dominate the high<br />
school fashion scene at<br />
present.<br />
I will begin, of course,<br />
with the ever numerous preppie<br />
clone. No Prep is caught<br />
dead without his or her Topsiders,<br />

Lacoste and Polo golf shirts<br />
and a closet packed with a<br />

seen without a pair of Vuarnet<br />
sunglasses hanging from<br />
the neck, and a good assortment<br />

Hard Rockers. Black is a<br />
favourite colour of this<br />
group. Leather jackets,<br />
jeans, a jean jacket and a<br />
good assortment of black rock<br />
concert T-shirts keep this<br />
group happy throughout the<br />
entire school year.<br />
Windpants<br />
Jocks. What more can be<br />
said about this group other<br />
than they love to wear the<br />
same clothes they play sports<br />
in. I must admit that sweat<br />
pants and a T-shirt are extremely<br />
comfortable, but at a<br />
fo/mal dinner party, I have<br />
my objections. Adidas,<br />
Nike, Puma and New Balance<br />
are just a few name brands<br />
Jocks associate with, but a<br />
true Jock is never without<br />
his or her windpants in<br />
rain or shine. Jocks have a<br />
tendency to slip into the<br />
prep category on occasion, by<br />
the way, so watch out before<br />
drawing any conclusions.<br />
New Wave. Here we have a<br />
three-way cross between<br />
Preps, Punks and Rock Stars.<br />
These individuals tend to be<br />
quite voguish, and their<br />
attire is quite flashy and<br />
loose. Lung-Mei Trading<br />
Company is a great supplier<br />
of New Wavers, as is Billy<br />
Bee. It is quite difficult<br />
to describe the New Wave<br />
individual, since he or she<br />
is usually an inventor of<br />
his or her clothing combinations.<br />

Punks. I will do my best<br />
with the Punk group, but for<br />
a thorough examination, I'd<br />
advise a trip to the Rideau<br />
Centre around the Bloom's<br />
entrance. Of course, some<br />
Punks are more serious than<br />
others, but the average Punk<br />
is clad with a solid pair of<br />
army boots, a T-shirt cut off<br />
at the arms, usually tight<br />
jeans (no brand name) tapered<br />
at the bottom and held together<br />
with safety pins, and a<br />
good supply of army wear.<br />
Mods. Saturdays at the<br />
Rideau Centre are good days<br />
to spot Mods, promenading<br />
around the market area with<br />
their long green coats with<br />
a bullseye on the back. Underneath<br />
the long green coat,<br />
it is difficult to determine<br />
what exactly is worn, but it<br />
is certain something is: Mods<br />
detest being compared to<br />
Flashers. Multi-coloured<br />
Converse running shoes is<br />
another Mod necessity.
ART<br />
From the bewitched garden<br />
One of the most traditional<br />
herb garden plants is lavender,<br />
which makes a sweetsmelling<br />
border along pathways.<br />
The soil need not be<br />
very fertile but must drain<br />
well. Originally lavender<br />
grew wild in Mediterranean<br />
Europe. Lavender from the<br />
Latin "lavara" - to wash, was<br />
the flower used to perfume<br />
water for washing. All parts<br />
of lavender are fragrant,<br />
but oils are made from the<br />
flowers. A few drops of lavender<br />
essence in a hot bath<br />
will banish fatigue. The<br />
dried buds'are used in potpourris<br />
and sachets to keep<br />
clothes closets fresh smelling.<br />

Subtlety in ikat<br />
By ELLEN SCHOWALTER<br />
During the month of May,<br />
Snapdragon Crafts Co-op,<br />
791 Bank Street, featured<br />
garments designed and handwoven<br />
by Ellen Good. Good<br />
uses the ikat technique to<br />
create a subtle pattern on<br />
her clasically simple clothing.<br />
Ikat is a dye technique<br />
in which the warp yarn is<br />
cut to various lengths,<br />
tightly bound in selected<br />
areas and then dyed. Resisting<br />
the dye, the bound areas<br />
remain their original<br />
natural colour. When the<br />
warp is threaded on the loom<br />
and woven the ikat-dyed<br />
yarn produces a pattern.<br />
Good uses silk, cotton<br />
and linen and favours<br />
natural browns, beiges,<br />
peach, raspberry pink and<br />
rust shades. The addition<br />
of creamy white makes the<br />
clothing look as appealing<br />
as strawberries with cream.<br />
She frequently weaves a<br />
tweedy combination of cotton<br />
and linen that is very pleasantly<br />
tactile. The T-shaped<br />
blouses frequently have an<br />
ikat design resembling<br />
Northern Lights. An especially<br />
attractive garment is her<br />
pink kimono jacket made of<br />
tussah silk and ikat dyed.<br />
The two-piece silk dresses<br />
would suit most occasions<br />
from work to a wedding.<br />
Good has been a full time<br />
studio weaver since 1981.<br />
Born in Pittsburgh, she now<br />
lives and works in Ompah,<br />
Ontario about 80 miles<br />
north-west of Ottawa. She<br />
completed her BFA in textile<br />
design with honours at the<br />
Rochester Institute of<br />
Technology, Rochester, New<br />
York in May, 1980, and received<br />
her Senior Diploma<br />
from the Weaving Workshop,<br />
Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta<br />
along with the Watchorn<br />
Scholarship for the fall and<br />
winter terms 1977-78. She has<br />

Arts Night at <strong>Glebe</strong> Collegiate<br />
By SEAN<br />
BOLTON<br />
After months of intense<br />
preparation, the Arts<br />
Nights were staged Wednesday<br />
and Thursday May 15<br />
and 16.<br />
All six arts media<br />
were featured.<br />
The showcase of the evening<br />
was the Drama Club's<br />
presentation of The Jury<br />
(a.k.a. Twelve Angry Men)<br />
by Reginald Rose. It played<br />
to a full house both nights<br />
and went off fairly flawlessly.<br />
The actors received<br />
plaudits by the score<br />
for their hard work and<br />
dedication.<br />
Displays<br />
In the drama studio,<br />
the audience was treated to<br />
improvisations by some of<br />
the school's best theatrical<br />
minds. The school's<br />
filmmaking talent was showcased<br />
in room 112, and the<br />
art studio set up an inspiring<br />
display of art,<br />
sculpture, and the everfamiliar<br />
cartooning.<br />
The choir performed<br />
Wednesday night to a packed<br />
audience. The programme<br />
Drama club production at <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
was well-received and the<br />
audience clapped along to<br />
some of the livelier num=<br />
bers. The Horn Club was<br />
featured Thursday night as<br />
well as the classic piano<br />
stylings of Christopher<br />
Mallory.<br />
Architectural designs and<br />
clothing styles were also<br />
shown in the drafting room<br />
and room 111.<br />
Tour de <strong>Glebe</strong> highlights Spring Fling<br />
By SARAH MONTGOMERY<br />
Every year, for three<br />
years now, <strong>Glebe</strong> has celebrated<br />
the coming of Spring<br />
with a Spring Fling week.<br />
The week began right after<br />
the Victoria Day holiday.<br />
The Tour de <strong>Glebe</strong>, a bicycle<br />
race, started off the celebration.<br />
The race was held<br />
on streets in the <strong>Glebe</strong>,<br />
specifically on Second, Chrysler,<br />
Third and Lyon. The<br />
city helped by closing off<br />
the streets involved and the<br />
residents helped by removing<br />
their cars from the Streets.<br />
Six races were run: a slow<br />
race, wherein the point is<br />
to move as slowly as possible;<br />
a Teachers' race, and four<br />
races for the junior and<br />
senior girls as well as the<br />
junior and senior boys.Everyone<br />
seemed to win something<br />
and all participants were<br />
awarded bicycle hats from<br />
Pecco's. Other prizes consisted<br />
of Tour de <strong>Glebe</strong> T-<br />
shirts, bicycle paraphernalia<br />
and meals. The <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
stage band played for the<br />
cheering, gawking spectator&<br />
The gorgeous sunny weather<br />
continued to Wednesday, May<br />
22, when the <strong>Glebe</strong> Mile and<br />
the Spring Fling Picnic took<br />
place on the football field.<br />
Two races were held for the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> Mile, one for males<br />
and one for females. Again,<br />
everyone seemed to win.<br />
June 14, 1985, GLEBE REPORT -<br />
There were <strong>Glebe</strong> Mile T-<br />
shirts, records, gift certificates<br />
from The Sportshoe,<br />
and meals from McDonald's.<br />
No records were set.<br />
After the race, the picnic<br />
was officially started by<br />
the cutting of the official<br />
balloons by Mr. Wotherspoon,<br />
the principal. The Grad Committee,<br />
composed of the<br />
school's graduates, organized<br />
food and games at the<br />
picnic. One dollar purchased<br />
a dog, a drink, and a<br />
cone.<br />
Next came the games: the<br />
sack race; the egg and spoon<br />
race, the egg toss, and the<br />
frisbee accuracy contest.<br />
These were the highlights<br />
of the day, as students<br />
strove for trivial but<br />
meaningful awards. During<br />
all these events, the great<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong> stage band played to<br />
the delight of all ages.<br />
Immediately after the<br />
picnic, eight teachers and<br />
ten grads went to Plouffe<br />
Park for a softball game.<br />
To the amazement of all, the<br />
game was won by the teachers<br />
in the last of the ninth<br />
with two men out when Mr.<br />
Pilgrim clobbered a home run<br />
over the center fielder's<br />
head.<br />
Thursday was the day for<br />
the third jewel in <strong>Glebe</strong>'s<br />
triple crown, the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
Great Canoe Race at Dow's<br />
Lake. Again, the race<br />
was won by a teacher and a<br />
student. This time it was<br />
Mr. MacMillan and Sarah<br />
Gualtieri.<br />
Friday night ended the<br />
Fling with a pyjama dance<br />
at the <strong>Glebe</strong> Community Centre.<br />
Surprisingly, students<br />
still had enough energy to<br />
whirl and rock into the<br />
midnight hour.<br />
Ottawa - Shippegan Exchange<br />
By CHRIS MINNS<br />
Tuesday, May 21, 45 tired<br />
and sweaty kids got off a<br />
Lavoie bus on O'Connor Street.<br />
Sixty five students<br />
with banners, etc. cheered<br />
and waved as the bus pulled<br />
up to start the Ottawa-<br />
Shippegan exchange. The<br />
students found their twin<br />
and went to the gym to get<br />
a drink before touring the<br />
school. After they went to<br />
the park by Patterson Creek<br />
to eat lunch.<br />
The students coming here<br />
were from Shippegan, New<br />
Brunswick, a small fishing<br />
town in Acadia. The Ottawans<br />
were from First Avenue School.<br />
16<br />
After lunch they went to<br />
spend the day on Parliament<br />
Hill. They even climbed the<br />
Peace Tower - not on the<br />
outside though! On Wednesday<br />
the participants had<br />
a bus tour of Ottawa followed<br />
by lunch in Confederation<br />
Square. Then they<br />
spent the afternoon at the<br />
Museum of Man. That night<br />
most of the students returned<br />
to the Observatcry<br />
at the Museum of Science<br />
and Technology to see films<br />
and skies.<br />
Thursday the gang went to<br />
places like the Rideau Falls,<br />
the War Museum, Art Gallery,<br />
NAC and on a long boat tour<br />
of the Rideau Canal.<br />
Friday, they saw the Governor<br />
General's Grounds, the<br />
Aeronautical Museum and the<br />
Museum of Science and Technology<br />
before seeing the<br />
RCMP musical ride.<br />
Saturday, 5:45 am, it was<br />
over as the Lavoie bus<br />
pulled out of Ottawa.

Mutchmor celebrates 90th anniversary<br />
By LIZ McCRACKEN<br />
Mutchmor School's 90th Anniversary<br />
celebrations are<br />
now just a wonderful memory<br />
for staff, students, parents<br />
and alumni!<br />
The celebrations took<br />
place at Mutchmor school on<br />
May 30th. At 1:15 pm, all<br />
staff, students and some<br />
parents congregated in the<br />
playing field on Fourth Ave.<br />
to send off approximately<br />
500 colourful helium balloons.<br />
The strong wind<br />
blowing carried the balloons<br />
with our messages, names and<br />
the school address attached,<br />
swiftly off to the<br />
East. We are hopefully<br />
anticipating replies to our<br />
messages when the balloons<br />
arrive at their destinations.<br />
With our adrenalin flowing<br />
after this event, we<br />
were treated to a Concert<br />
by the Primary and Junior<br />
Choirs, directed by Frances<br />
Pike and Liz McCracken respectively,<br />
and accompanied<br />
by Sandy Martin at the<br />
piano. The opening number<br />
"School Days" got us all<br />
into the mood for a 90th<br />
Anniversary celebration.<br />
Mr Dick Zadow and Mr.<br />
Jack Donaldson, former Principals<br />
at Mutchmor, spoke<br />
fondly of their memories<br />
of their days at Mutchmor.<br />
Dick remembered the large<br />
social gatherings for bean<br />
suppers in the mid-70s, and<br />
the tremendous attendance at<br />
the many concerts held in<br />
the "old" gym. Jack reminisced<br />
about the wonderful<br />

He also remembered the excellent<br />
Math standards we<br />

He also reminded us of the<br />

a birthday party<br />
with cakes donated by class<br />
parents.<br />
The evening Anniversary<br />
programme began at 7:30<br />
with "School Days" being<br />
sung by both choirs and<br />
audience alike. Mr. Doug<br />
Coodier, the present principal,<br />
introduced Exton<br />

of Schools, who<br />
Drought birthday greetings<br />
from the Ottawa Board of<br />

from the City of<br />
Ottawa.<br />
Special guest<br />
Following these speakers<br />
and a variety of songs from<br />
the decades between 1890<br />
and 1980 such as"High Hopes",<br />
"Bibbidy,Bobbity Boo","Coodnight<br />
Irene" ,,and "I Want. to<br />
Live", aspecial guest was<br />
introduced. Miss Frances<br />
Iveson, who still lives in<br />
the <strong>Glebe</strong> taught at Mutchmor<br />
School from 1925 to<br />
1931. She recounted many<br />
humourous anecdotes about<br />
her teaching years at Mutchmor<br />
and Hopewell Schools,<br />
and she presented us with<br />
a wonderful insight into<br />
the 1920s and 30s. Some of<br />
her former Mutchmor pupils<br />
were in the audience, and<br />
indeed one was on stage<br />
with her - Mr. Jack Donaldson!<br />
Needless to say, she<br />
had a few stories about<br />
Jack and he admitted in his<br />
presentation afterwards<br />
that he squirmed in his<br />
seat more than once at the<br />
thought of the stories she<br />
might relate about him!<br />
Once again, Dick Zadow<br />
and Jack Donaldson took us<br />
down memory lane with their<br />
accounts of the many experiences<br />
they had had<br />
while they were Principals<br />
at Mutchmor School.<br />
Following the speeches,<br />
the 90th birthday cake was<br />
cut by Miss Iveson and Mr.<br />
Goodier while everyone<br />
harmonized "Happy Birthday"<br />
to Mutchmor.<br />
The Primary and Junior<br />
Choirs presented a rousing<br />
3-part Massed Choir number<br />
called "Don't Let the Music<br />
Stop" which seemed appropriate<br />
to the theme of<br />
Mutchmor's continuing endurance<br />
over the past 90<br />
years and looking towards<br />
the 100th Anniversary in<br />
1995. The Junior Choir<br />
aroused everyone to song<br />
with its rendition of the<br />
old favourite "We'll Meet<br />
Photos<br />
Liz McCracken<br />
Again" and that provided<br />
the finale for the Concert.<br />
Following the Concert,<br />
the hundreds of visitors<br />
were invited to travel<br />
back through time in the<br />
memorabilia room and the<br />

up by the Mutchmor Parents'<br />
90th Anniversary Committee<br />
under the very capable<br />
direction of Mrs. Anne<br />
Hargadon.<br />
One other very special<br />
feature, other than the<br />
90th Anniversary buttons,<br />
tee shirts, balloons,<br />
concerts and parties, was<br />
the installation in the<br />
Mutchmor's main entrance<br />
hall of a huge time capsule<br />
in the shape of a rocket<br />
ship. This was built by<br />
the Vice Principal, Mr.<br />
Peter Thomas, and contains<br />
1985 memorabilia from every<br />
class and tape recordings,<br />
and photographs from the<br />
Concerts and the balloon<br />
release. The brass plate<br />
on the time capsule indicates<br />
that the capsule<br />
is to be opened during the<br />
100th Anniversary of<br />
Mutchmor School in 1995.<br />
On to 100<br />
Everyone enjoyed a<br />
wonderful birthday reunion<br />
at Mutchmor. Now on to<br />
our 100th! Hope to meet<br />
you again in 1995!<br />

Gallant comedy of manners and morals<br />
By ELLEN SCHOWALTER<br />
A sell-out crowd packed<br />
the hall of Dominion-Chalmers<br />
United Church, 355 Cooper<br />
Street for the <strong>Glebe</strong> Seniors<br />
Repertory Players production<br />
of "That's my Harry". There<br />
were two performances, Wednesday,<br />
May 29 and Thursday<br />
May 30.<br />
The <strong>Glebe</strong> Seniors Repertory<br />
Players is composed mainly<br />
of Residents of <strong>Glebe</strong> Centre<br />
and members of Abbotsford<br />
House. Lew Hill, who has<br />
fifty years experience in<br />
professional entertainment,<br />
including radio, television,<br />
stage and film, wrote and<br />
directed "Springtime in the<br />
Park" and "Dear Jenny" are<br />
also to his credit. "That's<br />
my Harry" was made possible<br />
by a grant from New Horizons.<br />
Small hotel<br />
The play depicts two days<br />
in the lives of the guests<br />
of the Rustic Inn, a small<br />
down-at-the-heels resort<br />
hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Peabody,<br />
played by Bernard Kealey<br />
and Edna Hunter, celebrating<br />
a second honeymoon on the<br />
occasion of their fortythird<br />
wedding anniversary,<br />
check in. Lee Sproul in<br />
the role of Peter, the desk<br />
clerk, rises in time-honoured<br />
fashion from a nap behind the<br />
desk. The Peabodys ask for<br />
an inside room and the clerk<br />
snaps back "all of our rooms<br />
are on the inside".<br />
Enter Francine Hollister<br />
played by Margaret Orrell<br />
with lots of panache and<br />
style. Exotically feathered<br />
furred, and bejewelled,<br />
Mrs. Hollister, a merry widow<br />
type, fixes her attention<br />
on Harry. She pursues<br />
Harry verbally and physically<br />
until Mrs. Peabody catches<br />
them in what mistakenly<br />
seems to be an embrace. Mrs.<br />
Peabody comments that twilight<br />
marriage can lead to<br />
midnight murder.<br />
Anniversary<br />
Act two takes place in<br />
the coffee shop of the<br />
Rustic Inn.<br />
Romantically toasting their<br />
anniversary in Golden Lion<br />
dandelion wine, Mr. Peabody<br />
spills wine on Mrs. Peabody<br />
and she remarks, "There's<br />
something about men I don't<br />
understand - what makes them<br />
so damn stupid?" Glamorous<br />
Mrs. Hollister moves in<br />
when Mrs. Peabody goes to<br />
change her dress. She tries<br />
to get Harry to become more<br />
aggressive, dress better and<br />
discard his nagging spouse.<br />
She offers him a sport coat<br />
which was owned by her late<br />
husband.<br />
A waiter, played by Jim<br />
McGill, Gladys (Mildred<br />
Bowman) and Betty (Mary<br />
Scissons), two other guests,<br />
gossip about the apparent<br />
romance between Mrs. bollister<br />
and Harry. One mentions<br />
that she heard a man's<br />
voice in Mrs. Hollister's<br />
room. "Are you sure it was<br />
a man dear?" replies the<br />
other. "As sure as an eighty<br />
year old woman can be," she<br />
responds. Margaret Br6mley<br />
as Mme Pianofski perfoms<br />
a piano solo and Jo Windsor<br />
in the persona of Senora<br />
Carlotta El Sopraniola<br />
does a very funny bit of<br />
opera.<br />
Happy ending<br />
The play ends happily<br />
after a confrontation between<br />
Mrs. Peabody and the<br />
predatory Mrs. Hollister.<br />
Harry takes off the symbolic<br />
sport jacket and puts on<br />
his old windbreaker. They<br />
leave the Rustic Inn to<br />
begin their second honeymoon<br />
at home.<br />

Music's great Tercentenary marked<br />
MUSIC<br />
By ALLISON DINGLE<br />
Months of preparation for<br />
a special celebration for<br />
this year's tercentary of<br />
the birth of J.S.Bach, G.F.<br />
Handel and Domenico Scarlatti<br />
came to fruition on<br />
Saturday, June 8 when the<br />
piano students of Elizabeth<br />
Graham-Smith gave their<br />
summer recital. Back in the<br />
fall, Mrs. Graham-Smith, a<br />
well-known Ottawa music<br />
teacher, proposed to her<br />
students that they mark the<br />
event by learning music by<br />
at least one, if not all, of<br />
the three composers and by<br />
participating in competition<br />
which she called Project 300<br />
Celebration<br />
Accordingly, the programme<br />
for the recital was planned<br />
in a celebratory mood and<br />
reflected a strong interest<br />
in music of the first half<br />
of the 18th Century. It<br />
opened with Handel's wonderfully<br />
theatrical "Arrival of<br />
the Queen of Sheba" played by<br />
Michael Damas and Leslie<br />
Zypchen. Also on the programme<br />
wasJ.S.Bach's "French<br />
Suite No. 1 in G" with each<br />
of the seven movements played<br />
in quick sequence by a different<br />
member of her group<br />
of teenage students, and<br />
Handel's "Fitzwilliam Sonata<br />
No. 1" performed by a family<br />
group - Heather Coleman,<br />
flute; Margaret Coleman,<br />
piano and Jenny Coleman,cello.<br />
A further note of celebration<br />
was added by the use<br />
of costumes - frilly blouses<br />
and long skirts, to evoke<br />
the era. Particularly special<br />
were the period costumes<br />
borrowed from the<br />
Orpheus Society for the<br />
Quintet in which Mrs. Graham-<br />
Smith herself plays which<br />
closed the concert with a<br />
performance of Robert Schumann's<br />
"Trout Quintet".<br />
The students responded<br />
to Project 300 by submitting<br />
an impressive collection of<br />
maps, family trees, portraits<br />
and study papers on<br />
a wide variety of topics .<br />
relating to Bach, Handel and<br />
Scarlatti. The projects, house and were both interesdivided<br />
into categories ac- ted in music. Two pianos<br />
cording to ages(8-10,11-13 and and a harpsichord, plus an<br />
teens) were judged by violinistabundance of books and ob-<br />
John Cornez and artist Nancy jects relating to music<br />
Currie. Even students as attest her involvement in<br />
young as 8 and 9 entered<br />
well-researched, interesting<br />
and neatly presented pro-<br />
jects. The prize winners<br />
were announced at the recital.<br />
Project 300 and the special<br />
"period" recital are<br />
typical of the enrichments<br />
Mrs. Graham-Smith brings<br />
to her classes. She encourages<br />
her piano students to<br />
listen to Classical music<br />
and to note what is being<br />
played, to attend concerts,<br />
to play other instruments,<br />
and to play chamber music in<br />
small groups, especially in<br />
family groups. In cases when<br />
a student appears to excel<br />
more in another instrument,<br />
she recommends continuing<br />
with the piano as it is a<br />
pre-requisite for any professional<br />
musical career.<br />
Mrs. Graham-Smith graduated<br />
just over thirty years<br />
ago with a diploma in piano<br />
teaching from the Royal<br />
Academy of Music in London,<br />
as an associate of the Royal<br />
College of Music in piano<br />
performance and with a<br />
Bachelor of Music Education<br />
from the University of London.<br />
Since then she has had<br />
constant experience as a<br />
teacher, performer and<br />
accompanist in England, the<br />
United States, Western Canada<br />
and Ottawa. She teaches<br />
in her home in the <strong>Glebe</strong><br />
where she has lived with<br />
her husband, architect Beric<br />
Graham-Smith since coming<br />
to Ottawa 15 years ago.<br />
Her children Claire 26, and<br />
Jane 22, grew up in the<br />
music. About one-third of<br />
her students live in the<br />
<strong>Glebe</strong>. They range in age<br />
from 6 years to late teens,<br />
but Mrs. Graham-Smith will<br />
teach adults, provided they<br />
are prepared to work seriously.<br />
The playovers and subse-<br />
quent recitals, when students<br />
play before an audience<br />
of family and close friends<br />
prepare the students for<br />
the pressure of music exams<br />
and festivals, as well as<br />
providinga focus for their<br />
efforts.<br />
With so much experience<br />
over the years, Mrs. Graham-<br />
Smith finds her ideas have<br />
changed and that her teaching<br />
methods are constantly<br />
evolving to suit the needs<br />
of the different generations<br />
she has taught. Believing<br />
that making music is the<br />

real fun and the reward for<br />
all the routine and theory,<br />
she always encouraged her<br />
children to play in groups,<br />
with even the youngest<br />
working on duets.<br />
Volunteer head<br />
Speaking to Mrs. Graham-<br />
Smith before the playover<br />
for the June 8 recital, I<br />
asked her about her involvement<br />
with the National Arts<br />
Centre Orchestra Association<br />
and about the newly formed<br />
quintet in which she plays.<br />
I learned that for the past<br />
three years she has been<br />
volunteer head of the Youth<br />
Programme Committee, working<br />
with the National Arts Centre<br />
Orchestra and all the local<br />
school boards. Her first<br />
project was the series of<br />
matinée concerts, given at<br />
the Arts Centre during school<br />
hours, for grades 7 and 8.<br />
These concerts, which have<br />
been extended to include<br />
grades 5 and 6. are conducted<br />
by Boris Brott who travels<br />
to Ottawa for them.<br />
This year they were held<br />
in early June. She has<br />
also arranged the "musicians<br />
in the school" programme,<br />
where NACO musicians go on<br />
tour to various schools.<br />
Next year's project will<br />
be a week of concerts<br />
for grades 1 to 4.<br />
As for the Quintet,<br />
its formation last year was<br />
inspired partly by a desire<br />
to do something special to<br />
mark her 30th anniversay of<br />
graduation from the Royal<br />
Academy, and partly by the<br />
chance hearing of a quintet<br />
by Hummel, scored for violin,<br />
viola, piano, cello and<br />
double bass. After quite<br />
a search to locate the score,<br />
she brought together a group<br />
of professional musicians -<br />
Brian Boychuk,violin,<br />
Phyllis Wedding, viola, Pavel<br />
Symcyzk-Marjanovic,cello<br />
and Ed Hounsell, doublebass.<br />
(All but Pavel play<br />
with the NACO.) The quintet<br />
performed two movements from<br />
the piece by Hummel at last<br />
summer's recital. This year<br />
they again provided a spirited<br />
finale to the student's<br />
recital.<br />
After talking to Mrs.<br />
Graham-Smith, I listened to<br />
two groups of students,<br />
about twenty in all, perform<br />
ed the pieces they had prepared<br />
for the recital, as<br />
well as some selections for<br />
upcoming conservatory exams.<br />
In keeping with this year's<br />
tercentenary theme, many<br />
of the pieces were from the<br />
Baroque period. The younger<br />
group of students played a<br />
variety of short lively<br />
pieces. As each student<br />
played, and played well.<br />
the others listened intently<br />
- (no squirming or lack of<br />
attention here!) Only rarely<br />
was it necessary for Mrs.<br />
Graham-Smith to supply a<br />
forgotten note, but to each<br />
student, she offered performance<br />
advice and gentle encouragement.<br />
The younger<br />
group were followed by a<br />
group of teens, Nicholas<br />
Carpenter, Robert Crabtree,<br />
Heather Coleman, Jenny<br />
Coleman, Martin Damus,<br />
Michael Damus, Alex Fleuriaur<br />
Chateau and Leslie Zypchen<br />
who played individually, in<br />
duets, and in family groups,<br />
in preparation for the recital.<br />
I was impressed by<br />
their high level of accomplishment<br />
and polished performances.<br />
Closing my eyes<br />
while listening to wonderful<br />
music, I could imagine<br />
June 8: the rented hall,<br />
the grand piano, the costumes,<br />
the intense atmosphere<br />
of the actual performance<br />
and the applause<br />
of an appreciative audience<br />
for a successful recital.<br />

HEALTH<br />
Myths and misfortunes of Pediculosis<br />
By CLAUDIA MOODY<br />
In recent years lice have<br />
become a major health problem.<br />
After World War II the incidence<br />
declined. However,<br />
they have made a vigorous<br />
worldwide comeback. They<br />
are found in every climate<br />
and may infect anyone from<br />
any socioeconomic group<br />
perhaps due in part to the<br />
increase in sexual freedom,<br />
communal living and population<br />
mobility.<br />
Lice complete their entire<br />
life cycle on their host (the<br />
human body). Eggs are<br />
firmly attached to hair<br />
shafts and.-clothing by a<br />
strong cement bond and will<br />
incubate and hatch ten<br />
days after laying in temperatures<br />
more than 229C.<br />
Therefore, eggs farther than<br />
linch from the skin will<br />
not hatch.<br />
Itching is the earliest<br />
symptom. This is an allergic<br />
reaction from an irritating<br />
substance in the saliva<br />
of the louse injected into<br />
the skin at the feeding<br />
site. There may also be<br />
mild fever and swelling<br />
of glands in the neck.<br />
To diagnose head lice<br />
the hair must be inspected<br />
for a silvery or grayishwhite<br />
glistening nit. The<br />
back of the head and neck<br />
and behind the ears are<br />
the most common sites of<br />
infestation where the hair<br />
will appear dry and dull.<br />
Contrary to popular belief,<br />
lice do not jumpnp<br />
from one person to another.<br />
They may be transmitted by<br />
clothing and linen, toilet<br />
seats and through close<br />
physical contact.<br />
Primary treatment<br />
Primary treatment with<br />
Pyrethrins or Lindane (A-200<br />
Pyrinate" or Kwellada respectively)<br />
is aimed at<br />
killing the eggs and louse.<br />
It is effective 24 hours<br />
after application but is<br />
usually recommended to be<br />
repeated in 7 days to kill<br />
pubic lice are not considered<br />
as toxic as creams used in<br />
body lice. (Creams must be<br />
left for at least 6 hours<br />
at a time). Furniture sprays<br />
are as effective as vacuuming.<br />
After treatment of head<br />
and pubic lice the nits are<br />
inactivated but will remain<br />
on the hair and continue<br />
to irritate the areas,<br />
thus "nit-picking" must be<br />
done with a fine tooth comb.<br />
Prior soaking of the area<br />
with a 1:1 vinegar and<br />
water solution for 1 hour<br />
will soften the nits.<br />
Infestation of the eyelashes<br />
and brows can be<br />
treated with an application<br />
of thick vaseline jelly<br />
twice a day for 8-10 days.<br />
any nits which may have<br />
hatched. Symptoms may<br />
This will smother the eggs<br />
continue after an effective and lice.<br />
treatment and do not indicate As a result of the social<br />
that more medication is stigma attached to pediculrequired.<br />
If overused the osis (lice) patients often<br />
products may be toxic, especially<br />
in children.<br />
The skin should be clean<br />
and cool when applied. If<br />
the skin is hot the increased<br />
blood flow in the<br />
skin will increase the likelihood<br />
of systemic absorption<br />
of the chemicals thus<br />
toxic reactions.<br />
Shampoos for head and<br />
react with shame, guilt or<br />
anxiety. It must be remembered<br />
that it is no reflection<br />
on your personal<br />
hygiene. It is certainly<br />
a misfortune but it is<br />
also very common. Many<br />
school boards are now reporting<br />
epidemic proportions<br />
of outbreaks of headlice.<br />
Remember<br />
This is a very treatable<br />
condition, but remember<br />
that:<br />
the products must be<br />
used on cool skin only as<br />
directed, especially in<br />
children,<br />
the symptoms may persist<br />
after an effective treatment<br />
(use calamine for the<br />
itching),<br />
3) treatment should be repeated<br />
in 7 days to kill<br />
any nits (not removed by a<br />
fine comb) which may hatch.<br />

Parenting Centre celebrates tenth year<br />
By JOANNE DEAN<br />
On June 21 Ottawa parents<br />
are celebrating the 10th<br />
birthday of the Parent Preschool<br />
Resource Centre with<br />
a gala party complete with<br />
skits about the centre,<br />
birthday cake and balloons.<br />
"We are inviting P.P.R.C.<br />
users and alumni to come and<br />
share memories of the early<br />
days at the centre," said<br />
Marion Balla. "We are also<br />
hoping that people who value<br />
family support services<br />
will come and pay tribute<br />
to the dedication of the<br />
staff and volunteers who<br />
have kept the centre going".<br />
Founding member<br />
Balla was one of the original<br />
group of parents who<br />
banded together in 1975 to<br />
help each other through the<br />
hectic task of childraising.<br />
Starting with bare walls and<br />
scant resources they created<br />
the Parent Preschool Resource<br />
Centre, a model that has<br />
since been copied across<br />
Canada.<br />
"At first the centre was<br />
only a dream that a number of<br />
people shared," said Balla.<br />
A 7. r<br />
Mrs. Ttggy Winkle's<br />
"The eatly stages were like<br />
watching a dream become a<br />
reality".<br />
Today the P.P.R.C., located<br />
at 63 Evelyn Avenue in<br />
Ottawa East, is a well respected<br />
support service for<br />
parents and caregivers of<br />
young children. It provides<br />
a drop-in, a toy and book<br />
library, workshops, and an<br />
outreach service to playgroups<br />
across Ottawa. In the past<br />
ten years it has helped<br />
thousands of young parents<br />
through the difficult early<br />
days.<br />
"Many parents are very<br />
idealistic when they have<br />
their first child and expect<br />
a wonderful high from parenting,"<br />
said Balla. "But<br />
they find they aren't sure<br />
of themselves and they don't<br />
get the high they expected".<br />
"The P.P.R.C. helps them<br />
to realize that this is normal,<br />
that parenting has its<br />
ups and downs. It helps<br />
parents get through the low<br />
periods and helps maintain<br />
the high".<br />
Throughout its history<br />
the centre has been plagued<br />
by financial problems. Support<br />
has come from the provincial<br />
and municipal governments<br />
and volunteer fund-<br />
PLEASE HELP THE<br />
NATIONAL RED SHIEL<br />
raising, but in 1984-85 the<br />
centre had to eliminate<br />
staff positions and reduce<br />
services to continue operation.<br />
The gala will be an<br />
important fundraiser as<br />
well as a celebration.<br />
Tickets for the gala are<br />
available at the Parent<br />
Preschool Resource Centre<br />
at 6 Evelyn Avenue, or by<br />

FITNESS<br />
Strengthening your cardiovascular system<br />
By SHELLIE LAIRD<br />
Last month I started discussing<br />
aerobic activity and<br />
more specifically heart rate<br />
monitoring. In order to<br />
strengthen and maintain your<br />
cardiovascular system, your<br />
heart must beat in its submaximal<br />
range during the<br />
aerobic part of your workout.<br />
Your submaximal range or<br />
heart rate target zone can<br />
be found on the accompanying<br />
chart.<br />
This range lies approximately<br />
between 200 minus<br />
your age and 170 minus your<br />
age. (Note that the chart is<br />
in beats per 10 seconds.) To<br />
obtain your heart rate per<br />
minute, multiply your 10<br />
second rate by six. The<br />
reason for taking a 10 second<br />
heart rate is to find out<br />
how hard you were working<br />
during your aerobic activity<br />
without getting any recovery<br />
in the heart rate. To<br />
obtain your heart rate per<br />
minute, multiply your 10<br />
second rate by six to ensure<br />
you were working in your target<br />
zone.<br />
It is useful to take your<br />
heart rate five or six minutes<br />
after starting your<br />
aerobic activity so you can<br />
adjust to your target zone.<br />
If your pulse is below<br />
your target zone, work a<br />
little harder. If it is<br />
above, ease off a little.<br />
If you're working below<br />
your target zone, you're<br />
not improving your cardiovascular<br />
fitness; if you're<br />
working above it, you will<br />
exhaust quickly without<br />
making any substantial fitness<br />
gains.<br />
Most of the benefits<br />
for your cardiovascular<br />
system are achieved in<br />
the submaximal target zone.<br />
Try and learn how hard your<br />
heart beats during various<br />
activities. Take your heart<br />
rate while reading, walking,<br />
and participating in different<br />
sports.<br />
Also take your resting<br />
heart rate. A true resting<br />
heart rate is taken<br />
before getting out of bed<br />
in the morning, even before<br />
you sit up. Put a watch<br />
with a second hand beside<br />
your bed - and count your<br />
pulse for a'full minute<br />
as soon as you wake up. An<br />
average resting heart rate<br />
might be 70 beats per minute.<br />
Highly trained athletes<br />
may have resting<br />
heart rates of less than 40<br />
beats per minute.<br />
As your cardiovascular<br />
fitness improves, your resting<br />
heart rate should decrease.<br />
You will have to<br />
work harder to get your<br />
heart rate into the target<br />
zone and your recovery rate<br />
(the speed at which your<br />
pulse returns to normal after<br />
physical activity) will also<br />
improve.<br />
Heart rate monitoring is a<br />
useful fitness tool and an<br />
easy method of ensuring each<br />
person works at her or his<br />
own speed.<br />
There are hundreds of activities<br />
which can qualify as<br />
aerobic". Any activity<br />
Serving You<br />
at which you can maintain<br />
your heart rate in your target<br />
zone for 15-20 consecutive<br />
minutes, three times<br />
per week is an aerobic activity.<br />
Running, walking cycling,<br />
skipping, swimming, skating,<br />
rowing, skiing and climbing<br />
are all good examples or<br />
aerobic activities.<br />
Fitness classes also provide<br />
a variety of activities<br />
to maintain your heart rate<br />
in the target zone for at<br />
least 15 minutes.<br />
Next time I'll discuss<br />
some of these activities<br />
in terms of exercise<br />
techniques.<br />
