Herb and Spice 

but neighbour's may close 

By INEZ BERG 

The persistent pop-up 

question of whether the 

doors of the Herb and Spice 

Shop will be forced to close 

may soon be put to rest. On 

June 7, Doug Wallace of the 

City's legal department 

stated that tentative agreement 

was reached between 

counsel for the city and 

Kamal's Restaurant Inc. and 

Jeff Sugarman that the landlord 

will pay the city a 

cash-in-lieu settlement for 

the nine spaces required for 

Herb and Spice. In exchange 

the city will not seek the 

injunction to close the 

store which was opened without 

the required building 

inspection. He said that 

Sugarman will now be able to 

apply retroactively for a 

building permit and get an 

inspection. 

While agreeing with Sugarman's 

defense that it was 

the city's parking bylaw requirements 

for the store 

that prevented him from applying 

for a building permit, 

Wallace also confirmed that 

no attempt to apply was made 

until well after the renovations 

had begun and the 

city threatened legal action 

to close the store. 

Asked whether the integrity 

of the city's building 

code and bylaws might have 

been seriously undermined, 

he did not comment beyond 

saying that inspectors had 

visited the store to verify 

violations during the renov- 

ations and that the buildings 

branch was reasonably 

satisfied that no serious 

breach had occurred. 

Asked further if the city' 

could be held legally 

liable in the event of 

structural problems from 

work done in any case without 

proper approvals and inspection, 

he said, "I 

couldn't elaborate on that, 

but in this case we are 

reasonably satisfied there 

was no safety hazard." 

He added that the charges 

against Jeff Sugarman will 

still go to court in September. 

The three parking spaces 

required for Kamal's restaurant 

expansion were not mentioned, 

but the application 

to rezone 105-107 Third Avenue 

for demolition and redevelopment 

is in process at 

City Hall. Wallace indicat- 

ed, however, that the city 

might not favour demolition 

The application for rezoning 

to R4-X proposes to de- 

molish the current structure 

replace it with a smaller 

two-unit building in the extreme 

southwest corner of 

the lot and use the existing 

drive to access two resident 

ial parking spots for the 

building and six more along 

the north side of that lot 

and the lot behind Herb and 

Spice. Existing access to 

this space from Second Avenue 

hasn't been considered 

an option.

Ratna Ray named 

advisor to Peterson 

By JOAN OVER 

A Glebe resident, Ratna 

Ray, has been named to a 

, team of advisors assembled 

to prepare Liberal leader 

David Peterson for his tran- 

sition to power after 42 

years of Tory government in 

- Ontario. 

The ten-member team, consisting 

of five women and 

five men, has been meeting 

with Ontario public servants 

for the_pasu week or 

so to obtain information 

and to discuss provincial 

government procedures. 

The team includes representatives 

from a number of 

professions and backgrounds. 

Ray is a management consultant 

who has had extensive 

experience in the federal 

public service. Other members 

of the team are educator 

and race relations expert 

Jean Augustine of Toronto; 

Conwest Exploration Company's 

chairman Martin Connell 

of Toronto; lawyer and 

wonen's activist Mary Eberts 

of Toronto; farmer Peter 

Hannam of Guelph; University 

of Windsor president Ronald 

Innai; Sudbury alderman 

Dianne Marleau; teacher and 

Grand Council Chief of 

Anishinabek tribe Joe Miskokomon; 

Toronto alderman 

June Rowlands and Computer 

Museum of Canada president 

Abe Schartz. 

Ray, one of the Glebe 

Community Association's two 

vice-presidents and a regular 

contributor to the GleZ9e 

says the extra traffic, the 

noise and the illegal parking 

have caused him more 

stress and aggravation than 

he wants to cope with. He 

says, "Almost everyone on 

the street is against his 

store being there. Sugarman's 

so called "walk-in" 

traffic parks in front of my 

driveway by the hour almost 

every day. When I phone 

parking control they say 

"Oh yeah - we're familiar 

with the area." I'll never 

understand why the city 

didn't close him down in the 

first place." Why have bylaws 

if they won't enforce 

them." 

McBurnie feels media coverage 

was pretty one-sided.

Plans for Avalon Mews revised 

By E. LISA MOSES 

Development plans for 

Avalon Mews have changed 

dramatically as a result of 

revisions to Ontario's 

"Convert to Rent" programme 

that subsidizes conversion 

of selected commercial properties 

into residential 

rentals. 

Original plans for the 

Mews, owned by Avalon Mews 

Limited, included converting 

the former Co-op Garage on 

Second Avenue and Bank 

Street into 38 much-needed 

residential units. Revised 

plans now call for renovation 

of the existing ground 

floor units along that section 

of Bank Street for cominercial 

use only. 

After researching the developer's 

proposal to convert 

the Co-op Garage into 

rental units, the province 

apparently gave him verbal 

assurances that the project 

could proceed on the basis 

of plans submitted, and expressed 

enthusiasm about 

this particular "Convert 

to Rent" project, which 

would have been the first of 

its kind in Ottawa. 

Delay 

After the provincial election, 

however, the developer 

was informed that the 

province was no longer certain 

it had the funding to 

continue supporting "Convert 

to Rent", and that interested 

developers were now re- 

quired to submit permits 

along with plans before consideration 

would be given to 

such proposals. At the same 

time, the City notified 

Avalon Mews Limited that it 

would have to provide two 

additional parking spaces to 

comply with bylaws before a 

permit would be issued. 

Records show that the developer 

supplied City Hall 

and the province with all 

the information they required 

well in advance of deadlines. 

According to sources 

the "buck-passing" between 

city and provincial governments, 

before making the 

necessary decisions, served 

to delay a reply to the developer 

until "the rules 

had changed in midstream." 

Sources report that the 

developer has, therefore, 

opted not to "begin at the 

beginning" of this lengthy 

and expensive process again, 

since no assurances appear 

to be forthcoming, and to 

restrict his activities to 

renovation of existing units. 

At a Glebe Community Association 

meeting on May 28, 

representatives from Avalon 

Mews Limited asked the GCA 

to make recommendations for 

developing the remainder of 

the property under the new 

conditions, and to submit a 

proposal to them within 

four to six weeks. This is 

the first time in Glebe 

history that a major developer 

has formally requested 

input from the community.

Three-part workshop 

on children's books 

By INGRID DRAAYER 

"More, please!" was the 

consensus of participants 

in a three-part workshop on 

children's books held at 

the Glebe Community Centre 

April 29, May 6 and May 13. 

The workshops were led by 

Joan Weller, a children's 

librarian with Ottawa 

Public Library, who inspired 

everyone with her enthusiasm 

and love for children's 

literature. 

Books for babies, picture 

books, poetry, fairy tales 

and first novels were examined; 

methods of judging 

and selecting children's 

books for their literary 

and aesthetic qualities as 

well as their appeal to 

children were reviewed. The 

need to encourage reading and 

foster an appreciation for 

books at home was emphasized 

throughout the sessions. 

Suggestions 

The participants were unanimous 

in their hope that 

the course be repeated in 

the fall. A worthwhile 

suggestion from Joan Weller 

was to organize a workshop 

to assist those interested 

in Christmas book buying 

for children.

NEWS 

Further concerns for nearby residents 

frorn p. 1 

brief posed questions about 

sewage, drainage, safety of 

access, blockage of sunlight 

and heritage devaluation. 

The area's combined sewer 

system, which accommodates 

sewage and surface run-off 

has been inadequate for 

years. Surface run-off from 

the hilltop site will be 

greatly increased once much 

of its porous ground is covered 

by housing and asphalt 

drives. Expert opinion is 

that the current system cannot 

accommodate this or the 

daily sewage from seventeen 

new households. 

Access to the site from 

the Queen Elizabeth Driveway 

occurs near a traffic turning 

point on the hill where 

visibility is limited. Proposed 

access to the garages 

for the four south-eastern 

freehold units facing the 

Driveway.would involve a 

fairly steep grade and require 

the removal of a wooded 

area on NCC property. 

The blockage of sunlight 

to the homes immediately to 

the north and east of the 

site is another problem. Two 

Broadway residents have submitted 

their own briefs estimating 

a loss of winter sun 

on their properties for 

about five months each year 

should the proposed units, 

rising over forty feet in 

height, be installed on the 

hilltop directly south of 

and above their property. 

They are also concerned 

about construction undermining 

the hillside which con- 

tinues above their property 

lines. 

Of potential concern to 

the region, as well as to 

the residents, is the devaluation 

of the site as a heritage 

landmark in Ottawa. 

No definite commitments have 

been made by the developer 

to preserve the heritage 

qualities of the house. 

Visitors to the regally 

refurbished on-site trailer, 

which is now Melgro's sales 

office for the Highpoint devclopment, 

will hear nothing 

of the area's concerns. 

Construction is promised to 

begin in October and be completed 

by spring. 

Glossy brochures state 

plans to install three units 

in the Whyte house, a departure 

from plans filed 

with the city which specify 

two. This would create 

eighteen units on the site 

when present zoning allows 

for a maximum of seventeen. 

Recent plans to install a 

visitor parking lot in another 

conditionally acquired 

property next door at the 

eastern base of the hill are 

being described by sales 

staff. This news raises 

further concerns for nearby 

residents and will no doubt 

require further examination 

by the city. 

Meeting 

On June 12 (after this 

paper has gone to press) a 

Design Committee Meeting 

will deal with the developmentes 

design proposals. 

City Planner Ann Ernesaks 

does not expect the Planning 

Committe to meet on the development 

before June 25. 

City awaiting response from community 

from p. 1 

"Poor little Jeff Sugarman," 

he said. "He's been crying 

to the newspapers and the 

TV about his seniority in 

the area and the raw deal 

he's been getting. My dog's 

got more seniority than he 

has. I've been here longer 

than him or Kamal and I make 

a lot less money than either 

of them and no one's been 

asking my opinion." 

He says he and other residents 

feel that if Kamal gets 

the go-ahead to rezone it 

will set a precedent that 

could threaten other properties 

in the area. 

He shares a driveway with 

105-107 Third Avenue and he 

feels that the residential 

value of his property will 

be seriously undermined by a 

commercial access running 

along side of it. 

While he and other residents 

have written letters 

and made phone calls of protest 

he says they have not 

organized in any way. 

In the meantime he says he 

wants out. "Kamal would be 

willing to buy me out, he 

says, but for less than half 

the price it would cost me 

to relocate in the Glebe." 

Connnnents? 

When asked for his comment, 

Aldermln Howard Smith said, 

"Maybe the city should have 

closed the store in the be- 

ginning. As it stands now, 

I'm hoping for a settlement 

that will please the most 

people and I'm open to comments 

from residents."

Morning workout a community effort 

By MARGARET RUDOLF 

It's not often that traffic 

is blocked for stretching 

arms and panting lungs, but 

this unusual mini-fitness 

workout was organized by the 

Glebe Business Group to prove 

that life in the Glebe is 

special, and it's worth 

slowing down to enjoy what 

the community has to offer. 

On Thursday, June 6, morning 

traffic on Bank Street 

was stopped between Fifth are 

First Avenues so about 200 

Glebe residents could participate 

in a stretch-out 

with Brenda Lauzon, fitness 

organizer for CBCs Midday 

programme. Lauzon's exercise 

clips are taken from 

scenic spots across Canada, 

and now the Glebe and its 

residents will be on the 

national screen in the next 

few days. 

"This is the first community 

we've taped for the 

fitness segment of Midday," 

said Joan Woodward, Glebe 

resident and producer-director 

for Midday. "Ernie Saar 

contacted me and we thought 

the idea was great, and 

good promotion for the

It was only about one 

month ago that Saar, chairman 

of the Glebe Business 

Group, started organizing 

to get T-shirts printed and 

residents involved in the 

morning workout. "The costs 

involved were minimal. What 

is important is that it's 

a community effort," said 

Saar, owner of Ernie's Smoke 

Shop.

"We're trying to get this 

part of Bank Street peopleoriented," 

said John Leaning, 

of Leaning Associates. 

"We'd like to prove to city 

council it's possible to 

add chairs, tables and trees 

along Second and Third Avenues 

so people could sit 

and have a coffee". Leaning 

added even with a huge CBC 

production van parked along 

Second and Bank, cars were 

still able to circulate 

freely. 

"This section of Bank Street 

has so much character. 

It's not yet been spiffied 

like Elgin Street,",said 

Michael Cassidy, the member 

of Parliament for Ottawa 

South. Cassidy jumped with 

other participants in time 

with Lauzon's exercises. 

Britannia Alderman Marlene 

Catterall wore her jogging 

togs, although she admitted 

she really jogs only between 

meetings. "But I'm here 

because this is a great 

community effort," she said. 

"The Glebe has a village atmosphere, 

it's just marvelous 

to see historic buildings 

restored."

LETTERS 

Enforcing by-law 

Editor, Glebe Report: 

Last Friday, at the new 

location of Herb'n'Spice on 

Third Avenue, I was asked by 

the cashier to sign a petition 

in support of the store 

remaining open because the 

City of Ottawa was trying 

to shut it down. With further 

discussion, it became 

quite apparent to me the 

City was enforcing the by-law 

which requires new businesses 

to provide a certain number 

of parking spaces for customers. 

This by-law was in 

effect prior to the Herbin' 

Spice relocating to Third 

Avenue. As a frequent customer, 

who does not live in 

the Glebe (I live in close 

proximity to the Glebe, in 

old Ottawa' South), I sometimes 

use my car to patronize 

the store. 

Common sense 

It is my understanding 

that by-laws are put into 

effect for common-sense 

reasons such as order, fairness 

and protection. Bylaws 

apply to all individuals. 

It appears to me the 

City of Ottawa is doing the 

job expected by citizens 

and tax payers of this city 

by enforcing the by-laws of 

this city.

GCA 

A new rider in the GCA saddle 

By JIM MC 

CARTHY 

Readers may have noticed 

the absence of Rob Quinn's 

smiling visage at the top 

of this column. After two 

years in the saddle, he has 

finally managed to pass 

the reins of office to 

another marginally willing 

victim. 

The occasion for this 

handover was the GCA's Annual 

General Meeting (AGM) 

an May 14. This meeting 

was highlighted by statements 

from two declared mayoralty 

candidates, and the opportunity 

to question them on 

their views on a variety of 

issues. 

The new slate of GCA Directors 

coming out of this 

year's AGM can be found 

elsewhere in this issue. 

One feature of this slate 

is the addition of a second 

director to represent 

business interests, consistent 

with the renewal surge of 

interest in our business 

community. 

In last month's column 

and at the AGM, Rob and I 

mentioned the contributions 

of retiring directors, particularly

My predecessor has bequeathed

its ability to react to new

the respect in which we 

are held by the various 

bodies and groups which 

act on and within our neighbourhood 

(e.g. the City, 

Region, developers, business 

community, etc). 

Those of us who have worked 

with Rob know how much 

this state of affairs is 

due to Rob's personal

act to follow, and he has

GLEBE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

1984-1985 REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, MAY 14, 1985 

INTRODUCTION 

The Directors decided to publish 

'rather than mail individual copies 

of the Annual Report, which was 

adopted unanimously at the Annual 

General Meeting. This form of distribution 

saves time and high postal 

costs, supports the Glebe Report 

and takes advantage of its 

excellent circulation. 

FINANCES 

The GCA's net surplus under the 

stewardship of Treasurer Harold 

Jones increased from $5891 in 1984 

to $8,031 in 1985. This results in 

a substantial contribution to the 

reserve for major contingencies. 

MEMBERSHIP 

The 1984-85 residential membership 

drive did not produce the level of 

past increases. Nevertheless, with 

a membership of over 2200 adults, 

the GCA remains one of the largest 

associations, If not the largest, 

of its type in the region. 

Thanks for this achievement go to 

the block reps, the area directors 

and to coordinator Barbara Liddy, 

who has been overseeing the computerization 

of the membership list. 

The next step is its transfer from 

a commercial service to the GNAG's 

IBM PC. This will cut costs, improve 

access to the list and make 

use of community-owned resources. 

GLEBE BUSINESS GROUP 

Business membership quadrupled 

from a base of 21 to 85 businesses. 

This remarkable increase 

arose from the establishment of 

the Glebe Business Group led by 

Judy Richards of Davidson's Jewellers 

and Myrna Fenton of the Two 

Sister's Dress Shoppe. 

Brooke Briggs, director for Business 

interests undertook a survey 

of Glebe businesses and thus helped 

to lay the groundwork for this 

successful initiative. 

The Glebe Business Group plans to 

work closely with the resident members 

on matters of common concern 

and also to pursue activities 

unique to business concerns on a 

self financing basis, for example, 

special events and advertising. 

The GCA may be the only Ottawa 

neighbourhood association to unite 

residents and businesses in one 

organization. 

In so doing, the GCA has provided 

a common forum to (a) debate and 

resolve potential conflicts, (b) 

discuss and decide upon matters of 

mutual interest and (c) pursue 

them with a common front. 

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING 

Last year's report referred to a 

GCA appeal against a Committee of 

Adjustment decision. The Association, 

well represented by former 

GCA vice president (and architect) 

Herbert Otto, successfully argued 

that six units was too dense for 

the property at 5th and O'Connor. 

The builders then proposed four 

units and prior to the revised submission 

to City Hall, discussed it 

satisfactorily with the Board. 

REGIONAL PLAN REVIEVV 

The revision process of the Regional 

Official Plan saw Wayne Kauk, 

director for Neighbourhood Planning, 

chairing a committee of citywide 

community representatives who 

met nearly every week all through 

last summer. With Jim McCarthy, he 

drafted the GCA's 10 page well received 

brief to the Region. 

AVALON IVIEVWS 

In January 1985, Messrs. Sal Khan 

and Michael Courdin met with the 

directors to discuss plans for the 

buildings on the west side of Bank 

Street from McPherson's Gallery 

(non-inclusive) to Second Avenue 

and around the corner to the old 

Avalon Theatre, which until recently 

housed the Co-op Garage. 

They proposed to renovate the Bank 

Street stores and to convert the 

old theatre into 36 small, rental 

units. Mr. Khan also mentioned the 

possible erection of an apartment 

building "on stilts" over the parking 

area. 

The February Glebe Report produced 

an illustrated front page feature 

story. The GCA column provided the 

names and telephone numbers of two 

directors ready to take comments. 

The column also stated that the 

GCA would hold a public meeting if 

there seemed to be sufficient interest. 

There was but one call and 

it was in favour of the project. 

Mr. Khan undertook not to proceed 

with the additional apartment building 

over the parking area if the 

community opposed it. 

The Board concluded that the basic 

project would (a) fit within the 

Glebe Neighbourhood Plan, (h) upgrade 

the quality of buildings in 

the Bank Street area, (c) provide 

improved parking and (d) increase 

Ottawa's rental apartment accommodation, 

which is in short supply. 

Unfortunately, scandalously slow 

handling of the application by 

City staff, coupled with an unexpected 

tightening in the availability 

of Ontario Housing Corporation 

funds, forced the cancellation of 

the 36 apartments. 

THE WHYTE HOUSE 

A suddenly announced condominium 

development of the former papal 

legate's residence at 520 The 

Driveway aroused a worried response 

from neighbours and heritage 

interests. City Hall had not received 

any plans prior to the erection 

of the sign in' front of the 

Whyte house, which dates to 1876. 

At the GCA's invitation, Messrs. 

Morris Melamud and Peter Pivko, 

the project architect, presented 

their plans to the April monthly 

meeting, which many neighbours 

attended as well. 

The Board concluded that Melgro 

Developments' application to the 

Committee of Adjustment for severances 

was premature. The GCA supported 

the Planning Branch's request 

to delay the severances until 

the Branch completed its examination 

of the site plan and related 

heritage aspects of the application. 

(Subsequently Melgro withdrew 

the application temporarily.) 

Wayne Kauk chaired a committee of 

directors and concerned neighbours 

charged with the preparation of a 

brief for Green Island and the NCC 

by Friday, May 17, 1985. The results 

may be one of the subjects 

of next year's Annual Report. 

TRAFFIC 

Roger Short monitored the Queensway 

Traffic Corridor Study, which 

will continue into 1985-86. Recently 

at a public display by the Ontario 

Department of Highways and 

Communications, Roger discovered 

that the regional and provincial 

road planners could improve their 

"communications". 

Apparently, the regional planners 

are considering a new and better 

eastbound access from Bronson onto 

the Queensway. The Ontario Highways 

engineers were not yet aware 

of this interesti%g and potentially 

attractive idea. 

SOCIAL PLANNING 

Mayor Dewar wrote to all community 

associations to request their support 

on last summer's day care crisis. 

GCA directors, after a special 

meeting in August, wrote to 

the various governments to urge a 

satisfactory solution of the matter. 

Perhaps this action played a 

small role in the eventual improvement 

of the situation. 

The directors also endorsed the 

provision of space at Lansdowne 

Park for the Glebe Daycare Centre, 

which now operates in the Community 

Centre and nearby schools. 

The GCA made representations to 

Council to support controls on the 

location of "strip joints". The 

GCA believes that the community 

would not welcome them in the 

Glebe and the neighbours in Ottawa 

South definitely want to lose the 

one they have. 

RECREATION 

With Christine Wilson as coordinator, 

a GCA team entered Winterlude's 

Great Canadian Bedrace, 

completed the course, and won a 

prize for best decorated-bed. 

CANDIDATES FORUM 

Under the able direction of Jim 

McCarthy, the GCA sponsored two 

political meetings. Dr. E.P. Weeks 

chaired the August 1984 meeting 

with great skill. The April 1985 

meeting for the provincial candidates 

was equally successful. 

At the August meeting, two candidates 

occupied the stage and demanded 

to speak at a time of their 

choosing rather than that of the 

GCA. At the GCA's request, the 

police removed these candidates 

who were charged with trespassing. 

While one charge is still pending, 

the other led to a conviction. 

That decision helps to reaffirm 

the right to organize a political 

meeting without fear of outside 

interference or disruption. 

LANSDOWNE PARK 

There has been progress on the 

Park and related activities. 

THE EX 

A public meeting held just after 

the event concluded that the 1983 

EX was the worst in living memory 

for noise, 

traffic and general 

aggravation. Consequently, the 

last two years witnessed a lot of 

GCA work, much of it by Don Ray. 

Notwithstanding a senior City 

official's recommendation last 

summer not to enforce the bylaw 

againstTiwn parking, the end 

result appears to be a positive 

change of City Council's attitude 

to EX-related problem. 

The Central Canada Exhibition 

Association appointed a new general 

manager, former Ottawa mayor 

Don Reid. He responded positively 

to GCA requests to improve traffic 

flows and to reduce noise. 

The Glebe's consensus on the 1984 

EX was that it was the "best in 

forty years" with respect to noise 

and general aggravation, in spite 

of an all-time record attendance. 

Mr. Reid has promised that for the 

1985 EX, he will do better because 

he will have had more time to work 

on solutions to alleviate EX-originated 

problems for the Glebe. 

(NOTE: It was a pleasure to welcome 

Don Reid to the Annual Meeting 

at which he, as someone who 

lives or works in the Glebe, became 

a GCA memberi 

EX Parking/Traffic Control 

The EX over its ten day period concentrates 

at Lansdowne Park and in 

the Glebe an extraordinary number 

of people, nearly 750,000 in 1984, 

the equivalent of nearly every 

man, woman and child in the OTTAWA- 

HULL Census Metropolitan Area. 

Hence, GCA representations to 

Green Island, summarized in the 

1984 brief on traffic control, 

argued that effective parking 

enforcement of off and on street 

parking rules, coupled with practical 

"park and ride", bus and 

taxi services, were fundamental to 

a safe and tolerable Ex. 

Ottawa Transpo, with some political 

and community encouragement, 

seized the opportunity to provide 

better service for the 1984 EX 

with a temporary bus depot near 

Lansdowne Park, together with the 

use of satellite parking lots. 

This arrangement, the GCA understands, 

will continue, perhaps 

with a combined TRANSPO/EX pass to 

encourage greater use of the bus 

to the 1985 EX. 

Park Developnnent 

In the words of Mayor Marion Dewar 

(March 14, 1985 letter to Mr. Gerard 

Robard, 650 O'Connor St.) the 

"Development Plan for Lansdowne 

Park is a concept plan only, which 

has been approved in principle by 

Council." 

As taxpayers, GCA members must 

remain positive but vigilant in 

their outlook to ensure that Lansdowne 

Park investments or expenditures 

are both economic and consistent 

with its inner city location 

and limited access. This reflects 

the basic message of the GCA brief 

to Council prior to its adoption 

of the "concept plan". 

At a more immediate and practical 

level, Council approved the installation 

of a new public address system, 

a long overdue improvement 

the Association heartily endorses. 

When it is operational, perhaps 

the people in the stadium will 

hear the speaker system and the 

neighbours won't. 

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIES 

The formation of the Glebe Business 

Group within the Association 

originates in part because of the 

need to rejuvenate the physical 

image and structure of the Bank, 

Bronson and Isabella retail areas. 

Retail competition is keen throughout 

Ottawa. To prosper, Glebe merchants 

have to attract shoppers 

from other parts of the City. That 

means the Glebe must find ways to 

improve its parking and traffic capacity 

- without damaging the residential 

area. 

Another major City issue arises 

from the need for relatively inexpensive 

rental apartment accommodation. 

It might be possible to 

develop one or two floors of apartments 

on existing Bank Street buildings. 

The approved Glebe Neighbourhood 

Plan refers to such a 

concept (page 12, para. (iii)). 

That sort of development, which 

does not increase through traffic, 

could also play an important part 

In strengthening the market base 

Glebe merchants need. 

Defensive measures have of necessity 

dominated GCA activities over 

the years. The need for such vigilance 

will unfortunately continue. 

However, the directors are confident 

that GCA members, resident 

and business alike, now sense the 

need to initiate positive, cooperative 

action to improve the physical 

structure and general wellbeing 

of the community. 

On behalf of the Directors

Local support for Capital Park Fund 

By MICHEL RENE DE COTRET 

On May 25, after several 

months planning and work, an 

auction and bake sale was 

held at the Glebe Community 

Centre for the Capital Park 

Development Fund. About 110 

people attended and thanks 

to the generous donations 

of the community and merchants 

$1900 was raised. 

The City will now match this 

amount. 

On June 18, at 8 pm a

how to use this money. The 

community is invited to 

attend and make their views 

known. 

A cope kit for parents 

By MARJORIE FAIRHALL 

The Glebe Wellness Centre 

responded to a need in the 

community by presenting 

weekly workshops for parents 

who are experiencing difficulties 

with relationships in 

the family. These informal 

meetings offer insight and 

understanding through empathetic 

listening and sharing, 

practical information and 

role-play. Parents are encouraged 

to examine alternative 

ways of coping with 

Our auctioneer, John Sones 

though not a professional,

enjoyment with his constantly 

humourous commentary. 

The Committee would like to 

thank him for his generosity 

and tireless effort. They 

would also like to thank: 

Jean McCarthy and Jo Irven 

for their continual work 

and Elaine Konecny, Michel 

René de Cotret, Sue Friedlander, 

Renata Dunn, Hugh 

Trudeau, Gerry and Mary

The positive, interested 

response of many merchants 

showed a real concern for 

and communication, as well 

as learning how to identify 

a drug abuse problem. 

Problems 

The problems shared by 

many parents today are best 

described as behavioural, 

with lack of respect, lack 

of initiative and lack of

characteristics. They are 

frustrated by their seeming 

inability to control the

Second oral history of "the Valley" 

BOOKS 

LAUGHING ALL THE WAY HOME' 

by Joan Finnigan 

Deneau Publishers, 

160 pages, $16.95 

How miraculous is the legacy 

of laughter. As miraculous 

as the legacy of love 

suggests Joan Finnigan as 

she celebrates humour inherent 

in the oral histories 

of the Ottawa Valley. 

Enamoured of her own 

Irish origins shared by 

eighty percent of the Valley's 

inhabitants, her 

ongoing search since the 

mid 1970's has been for 

stories reflecting a people's 

pride and rootedness 

to their culture. She is 

obsessed with collecting 

these stories because of 

their importance to the 

composite of Canadian folklore. 

(The Valley's population 

represents 12 percent 

of Canada.) Lumbering 

sagas, tall tales, spoonerisms, 

"come allyes" and 

"fiddlin' good times" are 

still exchanged by a people 

who inhabit a metaphoric 

island, in its own way as 

tightly structured and cut 

off as Newfoundland. 

She explains the unique 

geography by describing 

the Ottawa River as a dominating 

master, travelling 

700 tumultous miles 

from Lake Capimichigama 

(about 155 miles north of 

Ottawa) to join the St. 

Lawrence just west of 

Montreal. However, it's not 

only the river that defines 

Finnigan's metaphoric island 

of the Ottawa Valley; 

it's the mountains, the 

Opeongo Hills on the west 

and the Gatineau Hills on 

the east, perimeters acting 

as bulwarks against the infiltration 

of outside influences. 

A distinctive geography 

fed by a colourful Irish 

imagination has enabled 

the Valley's major 19th 

century lumbering indus try 

to wax mythological. Trees 

in the Valley had to be 

taller than anywhere else 

in the country, the lumberjacks 

transformed into 

giants, the timber barons' 

homes into castles. Men 

who went into the bush were 

as exciting as men who went 

to sea. The Irish love of 

exaggeration set these men 

and their wives apart from 

their counterparts in New 

Brunswick and British 

Columbia. 

Time's joke 

That's why six-foot-six 

Larry Foster of Pembroke 

who worked in lumbercamps 

as far north as Temiscaming 

was called Goliath of the 

River. He gained a reputation 

as an expert canoeist, 

libertine and outlaw. Once 

he killed a wildcat with 

his bare hands. When he 

died he was buried outside 

the cemetery against the 

fence. "But time played a 

joke and drew a circle that 

included him in. The Roman 

Catholic cemetery had to 

expand and the only direction 

it could go was around 

Larry Foster's resting 

place. So today he lies in 

the very midst of respectables 

who refused to give 

him ground many years ago." 

While lumberjacks and 

shantymen occupy much of the 

lore limelight, fur traders, 

miners, businessmen and 

politicians have also been 

orally mythologized. G.A. 

Howard, the first Ford 

dealer, is remembered for 

his purchase of a typewriter 

complete with a 

stenographer who took shorthand. 

So proud was he of 

the package that he paraded 

Joan Finnigan 

the good woman typing the 

new machine aboard a crepe 

paper decorated horse drawn 

buggy down Main Street. 

During the first World War, 

the same G.A.Howard heard 

the news that Sebastopol 

had fallen to the Germans. 

Anxious to share the news 

with his neighbour, he 

announced in his particular 

Irish dialect: "Did you 

hear the Cesspool fell?" 

The ability to laugh at 

oneself, to realize one's 

foibles fall within the 

universal human spectrum 

(even if one is a member 

of the Clergy, often especially),remains 

the underlying 

premise of much of 

the rich and often irreverant 

Valley humour. 

Macho men and unliberated 

women are the stock characters 

with one famous exception, 

Ottawa's first 

female mayor, Charlotte 

Whitton (1896-1975), who 

was elected four times to 

that office. A tough lady, 

feared for her temper and 

frenetic city council meetings, 

she is reputed to 

have once said, "To succeed 

as a woman, you have 

to be twice as capable as 

a man. Fortunately, it's 

not difficult." Once when 

Whitton was entertaining 

the Lord Mayor of London, 

he tried to flatter her 

by commenting on the rose 

corsage pinned to her dress. 

"Miss Whitton," he whispered 

in her ear, "If I lean over 

and smell your rose, do 

you blush?" Charlotte 

looked at him a moment and 

snapped back, "If I pull 

your chain, do you flush?" 

Finnigan tells readers 

she has transcribed these 

stories for the sake of 

laughter but it is clear 

after reading her fifth book 

and second oral history of 

the Ottawa Valley that 

laughter without love is 

hardly a laugh at all. 

On the basis of her oral 

history collections, Joan 

Finnigan has been invited 

to speak about the Ottawa 

Valley at the First 

International Conference 

of Irish Humour in Cork, 

Ireland, this June.

Masonry stove-heater 

By KAY STEWART 

With the arrival of spring, 

painting and other home 

renovations are the order 

of the day. So also are 

tours of selected homes 

arranged by organizations. 

If a tour of selected Glebe 

homes should be contemplated, 

an interesting one to 

include in the itinerary 

would be the Lomer home 

at 306 Clemow Avenue. 

This spring, the Lomers 

are renovating their basement 

and have had a Finnish 

design, masonry stoveheater 

built in their 

newly created "rec" room. 

When the idea to finish 

their basement first came 

to mind, they thought of 

including a wood stove as 

an adjunct to reduce heating 

cost. Then they learned 

about masonry stove-heaters 

and were lured from purchasing 

a conventional wood 

stove by the promise that 

a masonry one would yield 

more comfortable heat from 

less wood and could be expected 

to slash other fuel 

consumption by about half. 

In outward appearance 

their masonry heater appears 

to be a firebox set in a 

massive wall of brick. 

When fully completed, the 

brick will be overlaid 

with pale grey ceramic tile 

to blend with the colour 

of the other walls. Behind 

the masonry, it was learned 

it has a twisting,convoluted 

smoke passage. When the 

fire is lit, the masonry 

wall will soak up its heat 

like a sponge and then give 

it off slowly and evenly 

over a long period of time, 

warming the surrounding 

area. Retained warmth 

of the wall will continue 

to function long after the 

fire is out, it was explained. 

Does this heated wall 

present a danger to young 

children? Not at all. It 

will never be more than 

warm. According to the 

owner of one such heater, 

the only time her toddler 

has to be watched is during 

the two-hour firing period 

when the- doors of the firebox 

get hot. 

Well known in central 

Europe, masonry heaters 

are available in different 

styles. As well as the 

Finnish contrafIow style 

installed in the Lomer 

home, there is the Russian 

fireplace, the Swedish 

"Kakelugnar", and the German 

"Kachelofen". The 

Finnish centraflow heater 

is distinguishedfrom other 

masonry heaters by the shape 

of its combustion chamber 

which ensures a complete 

burn, at the same time 

allowing the unit to be 

used as an open fireplace. 

Today in Finland, 50% of 

the national brick production 

goes into masonry 

heaters and a new home does 

not qualify for a government 

mortgage unless it is equipped 

with a contraflow 

heater. 

Few Canadian masons have 

learned the technique of 

building masonry heaters. 

The Lomers can boast of 

having the first one in 

Ottawa. It was constructed 

for them by Norbert Senf. 

Senf, a Canadian with a 

background in both engineering 

and masonry, learned 

his construction techniques 

from Finnish experts brought 

to Maine, U.S.A., for a 

workshop organized by Albie 

Bardon. 

Since his discovery of 

the Finnish contraflow 

heater, Senf has built more 

than 20 of them, the first 

an experimental model in 

Photo 

David Schryer 

his own home north of Shawville, 

Quebec. 

"I couldn't believe the 

difference", he says. "With 

the wood stove our feet 

were always cold because 

the heat went straight up. 

But, the first time I lit 

the contraflow, I put one 

thermometer on the floor 

and another up at the ceiling, 

and there was only half 

a degree of difference". 

If you would like more 

information on the masonry 

stove-heater, contact 

Norbert Senf directly. His 

Ottawa address is 182A 

Second Avenue.

Many people who have owned

have lost track of its market value. 

Housing values have increased 

sharply in recent years; however, 

published market increases may 

not apply to your property 

because segments of the market 

move at different rates according 

to supply and demand.

Autocross banished from Lansdowne Park 

by 

Alderman 

Howard Smith 

City Council has decided 

not to allow the Autocross 

at Lansdowne Park. Despite 

the disruption caused by 

this event in 1984 and 

numerous complaints from 

residents, Council initially 

voted to allow the Autocross 

again. Some one hundred 

people wrote directly 

to Council protesting this 

decision and with this expression 

of community support, 

we were able to convince 

Council to reverse 

its decision. A key role 

was played by Jim McCarthy, 

the newly elected President 

of the Glebe Community Association, 

who cooperated 

with my office to push 

the case to exclude the 

Autocross from Lansdowne 

Park. Many thanks Jim. 

Teenagers 

If you have a teen-aged 

son or daughter interested 

in working at the Central 

Canada Exhibition this summer, 

please have them phone 

the Exhibition office at 

237-7222. 

GCA Meeting 

The annual general meeting 

of the Glebe Community 

Association was most interesting 

again this year. It 

clearly indicated the success 

the Association has 

recorded during the last 

twelve months. Tribute 

is to be paid to the work 

of the outgoing Executive, 

particularly Dan Ray for 

his work on Lansdowne Park. 

Rob Quinn did a masterly 

job as President for the 

last two years. Very well 

done, Rob. Also thanks for 

your kind remarks about my 

office in your last column. 

Women's Resource Centre 

City Council has approved 

a grant of $10,000 to assist 

in the creation of a Women's 

Resource Center. The Center 

will provide advice and 

support to individual women 

and women's groups as 

they proceed in dealing with 

the challenges and barriers 

they encounter currently. 

Council has also approved 

a $4,500 grant to Kaleidoscope, 

a conference exploring 

economic advancement 

for women. Another grant 

of $3,000 has been given to 

promote the participation 

of girls and women in fitness 

and sports. 

Herb and Spice 

Complaints are continuing 

to come in from Third Avenue 

residents that cars are 

blocking the street and 

their driveways as a result 

of insufficient parking 

for shoppers going to the 

Herb and Spice Shop. The 

application to rezone the 

adjacent parcel of land to 

allow for a portion of 

the parking required is 

proceeding. 

Capital Park 

Some $2,000 was raised 

on May 25 at a community 

auction. The money will be 

used to upgrade Capital 

Park. Congratulations to 

the auction committee, namely 

Jo Irwin, Jean McCarthy, 

Michel René de Cotret, 

Elaine Konecny, Patti 

Libbey, Suzanne Friedlaender 

and Cindy Delage. 

Mutchmor School Fete 

Many parents and children 

gathered May 30 to celebrate 

Mutchmor School's 90th 

birthday. In addition to 

bringing greetings from 

City Council, my remarks 

underlined the important 

role the school plays in 

this community. Reference 

was also made to the good 

cooperation between my 

office and School Trustees 

John Smart and Don Francis 

in achieving the upgrading 

of the school's playground. 

King's Daughters 

It was a great pleasure 

to attend the annual tea 

of the King's Daughters 

on June 1. It was enjoyed 

by all despite the cool 

weather after the large 

storm that struck our 

area. The baked goods we 

purchased at the sale were 

delicious. 

Parking Study 

The issuance of the long 

awaited parking study of 

Bank Street has been delayed 

again. In response 

to concerns expressed by 

business people and the 

GCA, my office has exercised 

some influence to speed 

CAPITAL COLUMN 

up the distribution of the 

report. 

Taxi Committee 

Congratulations to Richard 

Carver of Third Avenue and 

Myles Frosst of Renfrew 

Avenue. They have been selected 

to serve on the City's 

Taxi Advisory Committee 

which is responsible for 

advising Council on all 

aspects of the taxi industry. 

Avalon Mews 

The developer of Avalon 

Mews has announced that 

the loss of Provincial funding 

will result in no housing 

units being included 

in this project at Bank 

and Second Avenue. The matter 

was discussed at some 

length during the GCA recent 

board meeting when concerns 

were expressed about the 

slowness with which the application 

for this project 

was handled by the Buildings 

Branch at City Hall. I 

agree with these concerns 

and readers may recall the 

problems highlighted in 

this column last summer 

about Buildings Branch nonenforcement 

of the front 

yard parking prohibition 

during the 1984 Exhibition. 

Drop-in programme at 

Lansdowile Park will begin 

June 17 and run seven days 

a week between 10 am and 6pm 

until August 11. Although 

the programme is planned 

for children between 6 and 

12, all ages are invited to 

participate and staff will 

accommodate those younger 

or older as the need arises. 

Youth programmes (12-20) 

will take place in afternoons 

and evenings. Those 

over 12 who would like to 

help out on a volunteer 

basis are very welcome. The 

program is free and no registration 

is necessary. Call 

Cathy Taylor at 725-9824

Finding your 

fashion category 

By WINSTON TANNIS 

Preppie? Punk? New Wave? 

Mod? Hard Rocker? Jock? Which 

one of these categories do 

you fit under? Or maybe you 

are a little schizo, and fit 

under several? Then again, 

you could be alien to all the 

above-mentioned groups. 

Nevertheless, you need not 

worry. This article will 

cover them all. Not in 

detail, but in general (getting 

too specific is always 

dangerous). I have chosen 

the above groups because they 

seem to dominate the high 

school fashion scene at 

present. 

I will begin, of course, 

with the ever numerous preppie 

clone. No Prep is caught 

dead without his or her Topsiders, 

a good assortment of 

Lacoste and Polo golf shirts 

and a closet packed with a 

minimum of three pairs of 

red-tab Levis jeans. 

Summer preps will not be 

seen without a pair of Vuarnet 

sunglasses hanging from 

the neck, and a good assortment

group. Leather jackets, 

jeans, a jean jacket and a 

good assortment of black rock 

concert T-shirts keep this 

group happy throughout the 

entire school year. 

Windpants 

Jocks. What more can be 

said about this group other 

than they love to wear the 

same clothes they play sports 

in. I must admit that sweat 

pants and a T-shirt are extremely 

comfortable, but at a 

fo/mal dinner party, I have 

my objections. Adidas, 

Nike, Puma and New Balance 

are just a few name brands 

Jocks associate with, but a 

true Jock is never without 

his or her windpants in 

rain or shine. Jocks have a 

tendency to slip into the 

prep category on occasion, by 

the way, so watch out before 

drawing any conclusions. 

New Wave. Here we have a 

three-way cross between 

Preps, Punks and Rock Stars. 

These individuals tend to be 

quite voguish, and their 

attire is quite flashy and 

loose. Lung-Mei Trading 

Company is a great supplier 

of New Wavers, as is Billy 

Bee. It is quite difficult 

to describe the New Wave

is usually an inventor of

Punks. I will do my best 

with the Punk group, but for 

a thorough examination, I'd 

advise a trip to the Rideau 

Centre around the Bloom's 

entrance. Of course, some 

Punks are more serious than 

others, but the average Punk 

is clad with a solid pair of 

army boots, a T-shirt cut off 

at the arms, usually tight 

jeans (no brand name) tapered 

at the bottom and held together 

with safety pins, and a 

good supply of army wear. 

Mods. Saturdays at the 

Rideau Centre are good days 

to spot Mods, promenading 

around the market area with 

their long green coats with 

a bullseye on the back. Underneath 

the long green coat, 

it is difficult to determine 

what exactly is worn, but it 

is certain something is: Mods 

detest being compared to 

Flashers. Multi-coloured 

Converse running shoes is 

another Mod necessity.

ART 

From the bewitched garden 

One of the most traditional 

herb garden plants is lavender, 

which makes a sweetsmelling 

border along pathways. 

The soil need not be 

very fertile but must drain 

well. Originally lavender 

grew wild in Mediterranean 

Europe. Lavender from the 

Latin "lavara" - to wash, was 

the flower used to perfume 

water for washing. All parts 

of lavender are fragrant, 

but oils are made from the 

flowers. A few drops of lavender 

essence in a hot bath 

will banish fatigue. The 

dried buds'are used in potpourris 

and sachets to keep 

clothes closets fresh smelling.

Subtlety in ikat 

By ELLEN SCHOWALTER 

During the month of May, 

Snapdragon Crafts Co-op, 

791 Bank Street, featured 

garments designed and handwoven 

by Ellen Good. Good 

uses the ikat technique to 

create a subtle pattern on 

her clasically simple clothing. 

Ikat is a dye technique 

in which the warp yarn is 

cut to various lengths, 

tightly bound in selected 

areas and then dyed. Resisting 

the dye, the bound areas 

remain their original 

natural colour. When the 

warp is threaded on the loom 

and woven the ikat-dyed 

yarn produces a pattern. 

Good uses silk, cotton 

and linen and favours 

natural browns, beiges, 

peach, raspberry pink and 

rust shades. The addition 

of creamy white makes the 

clothing look as appealing 

as strawberries with cream. 

She frequently weaves a 

tweedy combination of cotton 

and linen that is very pleasantly 

tactile. The T-shaped 

blouses frequently have an 

ikat design resembling 

Northern Lights. An especially 

attractive garment is her 

pink kimono jacket made of 

tussah silk and ikat dyed. 

The two-piece silk dresses 

would suit most occasions 

from work to a wedding. 

Good has been a full time 

studio weaver since 1981. 

Born in Pittsburgh, she now 

lives and works in Ompah, 

Ontario about 80 miles 

north-west of Ottawa. She 

completed her BFA in textile 

design with honours at the 

Rochester Institute of 

Technology, Rochester, New 

York in May, 1980, and received 

her Senior Diploma 

from the Weaving Workshop, 

Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta 

along with the Watchorn 

Scholarship for the fall and 

winter terms 1977-78. She has 

exhibited extensively in

Arts Night at Glebe Collegiate 

By SEAN 

BOLTON 

After months of intense 

preparation, the Arts 

Nights were staged Wednesday 

and Thursday May 15 

and 16. 

All six arts media 

were featured. 

The showcase of the evening 

was the Drama Club's 

presentation of The Jury 

(a.k.a. Twelve Angry Men) 

by Reginald Rose. It played 

to a full house both nights 

and went off fairly flawlessly. 

The actors received 

plaudits by the score 

for their hard work and 

dedication. 

Displays 

In the drama studio, 

the audience was treated to 

improvisations by some of 

the school's best theatrical 

minds. The school's 

filmmaking talent was showcased 

in room 112, and the 

art studio set up an inspiring 

display of art, 

sculpture, and the everfamiliar 

cartooning. 

The choir performed 

Wednesday night to a packed 

audience. The programme 

Drama club production at Glebe 

was well-received and the 

audience clapped along to 

some of the livelier num= 

bers. The Horn Club was 

featured Thursday night as 

well as the classic piano 

stylings of Christopher 

Mallory. 

Architectural designs and 

clothing styles were also 

shown in the drafting room 

and room 111. 

Tour de Glebe highlights Spring Fling 

By SARAH MONTGOMERY 

Every year, for three 

years now, Glebe has celebrated 

the coming of Spring 

with a Spring Fling week. 

The week began right after 

the Victoria Day holiday. 

The Tour de Glebe, a bicycle 

race, started off the celebration. 

The race was held 

on streets in the Glebe, 

specifically on Second, Chrysler, 

Third and Lyon. The 

city helped by closing off 

the streets involved and the 

residents helped by removing 

their cars from the Streets. 

Six races were run: a slow 

race, wherein the point is 

to move as slowly as possible; 

a Teachers' race, and four 

races for the junior and 

senior girls as well as the 

junior and senior boys.Everyone 

seemed to win something 

and all participants were 

awarded bicycle hats from 

Pecco's. Other prizes consisted 

of Tour de Glebe T- 

shirts, bicycle paraphernalia 

and meals. The Glebe 

stage band played for the 

cheering, gawking spectator& 

The gorgeous sunny weather 

continued to Wednesday, May 

22, when the Glebe Mile and 

the Spring Fling Picnic took 

place on the football field. 

Two races were held for the 

Glebe Mile, one for males 

and one for females. Again, 

everyone seemed to win. 

June 14, 1985, GLEBE REPORT - 

There were Glebe Mile T- 

shirts, records, gift certificates 

from The Sportshoe, 

and meals from McDonald's. 

No records were set. 

After the race, the picnic 

was officially started by 

the cutting of the official 

balloons by Mr. Wotherspoon, 

the principal. The Grad Committee, 

composed of the 

school's graduates, organized 

food and games at the 

picnic. One dollar purchased 

a dog, a drink, and a 

cone. 

Next came the games: the 

sack race; the egg and spoon 

race, the egg toss, and the 

frisbee accuracy contest. 

These were the highlights 

of the day, as students 

strove for trivial but 

meaningful awards. During 

all these events, the great 

Glebe stage band played to 

the delight of all ages. 

Immediately after the 

picnic, eight teachers and 

ten grads went to Plouffe 

Park for a softball game. 

To the amazement of all, the 

game was won by the teachers 

in the last of the ninth 

with two men out when Mr. 

Pilgrim clobbered a home run 

over the center fielder's 

head. 

Thursday was the day for 

the third jewel in Glebe's 

triple crown, the Glebe 

Great Canoe Race at Dow's 

Lake. Again, the race 

was won by a teacher and a 

student. This time it was 

Mr. MacMillan and Sarah 

Gualtieri. 

Friday night ended the 

Fling with a pyjama dance 

at the Glebe Community Centre. 

Surprisingly, students 

still had enough energy to 

whirl and rock into the 

midnight hour. 

Ottawa - Shippegan Exchange 

By CHRIS MINNS 

Tuesday, May 21, 45 tired 

and sweaty kids got off a 

Lavoie bus on O'Connor Street. 

Sixty five students 

with banners, etc. cheered 

and waved as the bus pulled 

up to start the Ottawa- 

Shippegan exchange. The 

students found their twin 

and went to the gym to get 

a drink before touring the 

school. After they went to 

the park by Patterson Creek 

to eat lunch. 

The students coming here 

were from Shippegan, New 

Brunswick, a small fishing 

town in Acadia. The Ottawans 

were from First Avenue School. 

16 

After lunch they went to 

spend the day on Parliament 

Hill. They even climbed the 

Peace Tower - not on the 

outside though! On Wednesday 

the participants had 

a bus tour of Ottawa followed 

by lunch in Confederation 

Square. Then they 

spent the afternoon at the 

Museum of Man. That night 

most of the students returned 

to the Observatcry 

at the Museum of Science 

and Technology to see films 

and skies. 

Thursday the gang went to 

places like the Rideau Falls, 

the War Museum, Art Gallery, 

NAC and on a long boat tour 

of the Rideau Canal. 

Friday, they saw the Governor 

General's Grounds, the 

Aeronautical Museum and the 

Museum of Science and Technology 

before seeing the 

RCMP musical ride. 

Saturday, 5:45 am, it was 

over as the Lavoie bus 

pulled out of Ottawa.

SCHOOL NEWS 

Mutchmor celebrates 90th anniversary 

By LIZ McCRACKEN 

Mutchmor School's 90th Anniversary 

celebrations are 

now just a wonderful memory 

for staff, students, parents 

and alumni! 

The celebrations took 

place at Mutchmor school on 

May 30th. At 1:15 pm, all 

staff, students and some 

parents congregated in the 

playing field on Fourth Ave. 

to send off approximately 

500 colourful helium balloons. 

The strong wind 

blowing carried the balloons 

with our messages, names and 

the school address attached, 

swiftly off to the 

East. We are hopefully 

anticipating replies to our 

messages when the balloons 

arrive at their destinations. 

With our adrenalin flowing 

after this event, we 

were treated to a Concert 

by the Primary and Junior 

Choirs, directed by Frances 

Pike and Liz McCracken respectively, 

and accompanied 

by Sandy Martin at the 

piano. The opening number 

"School Days" got us all 

into the mood for a 90th 

Anniversary celebration. 

Mr Dick Zadow and Mr. 

Jack Donaldson, former Principals 

at Mutchmor, spoke 

fondly of their memories 

of their days at Mutchmor. 

Dick remembered the large 

social gatherings for bean 

suppers in the mid-70s, and 

the tremendous attendance at 

the many concerts held in 

the "old" gym. Jack reminisced 

about the wonderful 

Science Fairs, the musical 

production of "Tom Sawyer", 

and the Junior Choirs, 

directed by Liz McCracken, 

excellent standards over 

the years when he was Principal 

from 1979 to 1984. 

He also remembered the excellent 

Math standards we 

achieved in the National 

Mathematics League Contests, 

and the highly respected 

core French programme and 

varied Sports programmes. 

He also reminded us of the 

construction of the new 

gymnasium and all it entailed. 

Following the afternoon 

programme, each class enjoyed 

a birthday party 

with cakes donated by class 

parents. 

The evening Anniversary 

programme began at 7:30 

with "School Days" being 

sung by both choirs and 

audience alike. Mr. Doug 

Coodier, the present principal, 

introduced Exton 

Varty, the Area 5 Superintendent 

of Schools, who 

Drought birthday greetings 

from the Ottawa Board of 

Education, and Mr. Howard 

Smith, Alderman for Capital 

Ward, who brought us greetings 

from the City of 

Ottawa. 

Special guest 

Following these speakers 

and a variety of songs from 

the decades between 1890 

and 1980 such as"High Hopes", 

"Bibbidy,Bobbity Boo","Coodnight 

Irene" ,,and "I Want. to 

Live", aspecial guest was 

introduced. Miss Frances 

Iveson, who still lives in 

the Glebe taught at Mutchmor 

School from 1925 to 

1931. She recounted many 

humourous anecdotes about 

her teaching years at Mutchmor 

and Hopewell Schools, 

and she presented us with 

a wonderful insight into 

the 1920s and 30s. Some of 

her former Mutchmor pupils 

were in the audience, and 

indeed one was on stage 

with her - Mr. Jack Donaldson! 

Needless to say, she 

had a few stories about 

Jack and he admitted in his 

presentation afterwards 

that he squirmed in his 

seat more than once at the 

thought of the stories she 

might relate about him! 

Once again, Dick Zadow 

and Jack Donaldson took us 

down memory lane with their 

accounts of the many experiences 

they had had 

while they were Principals 

at Mutchmor School. 

Following the speeches, 

the 90th birthday cake was 

cut by Miss Iveson and Mr. 

Goodier while everyone 

harmonized "Happy Birthday" 

to Mutchmor. 

The Primary and Junior 

Choirs presented a rousing 

3-part Massed Choir number 

called "Don't Let the Music 

Stop" which seemed appropriate 

to the theme of 

Mutchmor's continuing endurance 

over the past 90 

years and looking towards 

the 100th Anniversary in 

1995. The Junior Choir 

aroused everyone to song 

with its rendition of the 

old favourite "We'll Meet 

Photos 

Liz McCracken 

Again" and that provided 

the finale for the Concert. 

Following the Concert, 

the hundreds of visitors 

were invited to travel 

back through time in the 

memorabilia room and the

appropriately decorated 

classrooms as they enjoyed 

birthday cake and 

other refreshments which 

had been beautifully set 

up by the Mutchmor Parents' 

90th Anniversary Committee 

under the very capable 

direction of Mrs. Anne 

Hargadon. 

One other very special 

feature, other than the 

90th Anniversary buttons, 

tee shirts, balloons, 

concerts and parties, was 

the installation in the 

Mutchmor's main entrance 

hall of a huge time capsule 

in the shape of a rocket 

ship. This was built by 

the Vice Principal, Mr. 

Peter Thomas, and contains 

1985 memorabilia from every 

class and tape recordings, 

and photographs from the 

Concerts and the balloon 

release. The brass plate 

on the time capsule indicates 

that the capsule 

is to be opened during the 

100th Anniversary of 

Mutchmor School in 1995. 

On to 100 

Everyone enjoyed a 

wonderful birthday reunion 

at Mutchmor. Now on to 

our 100th! Hope to meet 

you again in 1995!

Gallant comedy of manners and morals 

By ELLEN SCHOWALTER 

A sell-out crowd packed 

the hall of Dominion-Chalmers 

United Church, 355 Cooper 

Street for the Glebe Seniors 

Repertory Players production 

of "That's my Harry". There 

were two performances, Wednesday, 

May 29 and Thursday 

May 30. 

The Glebe Seniors Repertory 

Players is composed mainly 

of Residents of Glebe Centre 

and members of Abbotsford 

House. Lew Hill, who has 

fifty years experience in 

professional entertainment, 

including radio, television, 

stage and film, wrote and 

directed "Springtime in the 

Park" and "Dear Jenny" are 

also to his credit. "That's 

my Harry" was made possible 

by a grant from New Horizons. 

Small hotel 

The play depicts two days 

in the lives of the guests 

of the Rustic Inn, a small 

down-at-the-heels resort 

hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Peabody, 

played by Bernard Kealey 

and Edna Hunter, celebrating 

a second honeymoon on the 

occasion of their fortythird 

wedding anniversary, 

check in. Lee Sproul in 

the role of Peter, the desk 

clerk, rises in time-honoured 

fashion from a nap behind the 

desk. The Peabodys ask for 

an inside room and the clerk 

snaps back "all of our rooms 

are on the inside". 

Enter Francine Hollister 

played by Margaret Orrell 

with lots of panache and 

style. Exotically feathered 

furred, and bejewelled, 

Mrs. Hollister, a merry widow 

type, fixes her attention 

on Harry. She pursues 

Harry verbally and physically 

until Mrs. Peabody catches 

them in what mistakenly 

seems to be an embrace. Mrs. 

Peabody comments that twilight 

marriage can lead to 

midnight murder. 

Anniversary 

Act two takes place in 

the coffee shop of the 

Rustic Inn. 

Romantically toasting their 

anniversary in Golden Lion 

dandelion wine, Mr. Peabody 

spills wine on Mrs. Peabody 

and she remarks, "There's 

something about men I don't 

understand - what makes them 

so damn stupid?" Glamorous 

Mrs. Hollister moves in 

when Mrs. Peabody goes to 

change her dress. She tries 

to get Harry to become more 

aggressive, dress better and 

discard his nagging spouse. 

She offers him a sport coat 

which was owned by her late 

husband. 

A waiter, played by Jim 

McGill, Gladys (Mildred 

Bowman) and Betty (Mary 

Scissons), two other guests, 

gossip about the apparent 

romance between Mrs. bollister 

and Harry. One mentions 

that she heard a man's 

voice in Mrs. Hollister's 

room. "Are you sure it was 

a man dear?" replies the 

other. "As sure as an eighty 

year old woman can be," she 

responds. Margaret Br6mley 

as Mme Pianofski perfoms 

a piano solo and Jo Windsor 

in the persona of Senora 

Carlotta El Sopraniola 

does a very funny bit of 

opera. 

Happy ending 

The play ends happily 

after a confrontation between 

Mrs. Peabody and the 

predatory Mrs. Hollister. 

Harry takes off the symbolic 

sport jacket and puts on 

his old windbreaker. They 

leave the Rustic Inn to 

begin their second honeymoon 

at home.

was well written and very 

well acted. Concerned with 

love, marriage, pride,

ably demonstrated that the 

needs and interests of 

senior citizens are no different 

than those of younger

Music's great Tercentenary marked 

MUSIC 

By ALLISON DINGLE 

Months of preparation for 

a special celebration for 

this year's tercentary of 

the birth of J.S.Bach, G.F. 

Handel and Domenico Scarlatti 

came to fruition on 

Saturday, June 8 when the 

piano students of Elizabeth 

Graham-Smith gave their 

summer recital. Back in the 

fall, Mrs. Graham-Smith, a 

well-known Ottawa music 

teacher, proposed to her 

students that they mark the 

event by learning music by 

at least one, if not all, of 

the three composers and by 

participating in competition 

which she called Project 300 

Celebration 

Accordingly, the programme 

for the recital was planned 

in a celebratory mood and 

reflected a strong interest 

in music of the first half 

of the 18th Century. It 

opened with Handel's wonderfully 

theatrical "Arrival of 

the Queen of Sheba" played by 

Michael Damas and Leslie 

Zypchen. Also on the programme 

wasJ.S.Bach's "French 

Suite No. 1 in G" with each 

of the seven movements played 

in quick sequence by a different 

member of her group 

of teenage students, and 

Handel's "Fitzwilliam Sonata 

No. 1" performed by a family 

group - Heather Coleman, 

flute; Margaret Coleman, 

piano and Jenny Coleman,cello. 

A further note of celebration 

was added by the use 

of costumes - frilly blouses 

and long skirts, to evoke 

the era. Particularly special 

were the period costumes 

borrowed from the 

Orpheus Society for the 

Quintet in which Mrs. Graham- 

Smith herself plays which 

closed the concert with a 

performance of Robert Schumann's 

"Trout Quintet". 

The students responded 

to Project 300 by submitting 

an impressive collection of 

maps, family trees, portraits 

and study papers on 

a wide variety of topics . 

relating to Bach, Handel and 

Scarlatti. The projects, house and were both interesdivided 

into categories acted in music. Two pianos 

cording to ages(8-10,11-13 and and a harpsichord, plus an 

teens) were judged by violinistabundance of books and ob- 

John Cornez and artist Nancy jects relating to music 

Currie. Even students as attest her involvement in 

young as 8 and 9 entered 

well-researched, interesting 

and neatly presented pro- 

jects. The prize winners 

were announced at the recital. 

Project 300 and the special 

"period" recital are 

typical of the enrichments 

Mrs. Graham-Smith brings 

to her classes. She encourages 

her piano students to 

listen to Classical music 

and to note what is being 

played, to attend concerts, 

to play other instruments, 

and to play chamber music in 

small groups, especially in 

family groups. In cases when 

a student appears to excel 

more in another instrument, 

she recommends continuing 

with the piano as it is a 

pre-requisite for any professional 

musical career. 

Mrs. Graham-Smith graduated 

just over thirty years 

ago with a diploma in piano 

teaching from the Royal 

Academy of Music in London, 

as an associate of the Royal 

College of Music in piano 

performance and with a 

Bachelor of Music Education 

from the University of London. 

Since then she has had 

constant experience as a 

teacher, performer and 

accompanist in England, the 

United States, Western Canada 

and Ottawa. She teaches 

in her home in the Glebe 

where she has lived with 

her husband, architect Beric 

Graham-Smith since coming 

to Ottawa 15 years ago. 

Her children Claire 26, and 

Jane 22, grew up in the 

music. About one-third of 

her students live in the 

Glebe. They range in age 

from 6 years to late teens, 

but Mrs. Graham-Smith will 

teach adults, provided they 

are prepared to work seriously. 

The playovers and subse- 

quent recitals, when students 

play before an audience 

of family and close friends 

prepare the students for 

the pressure of music exams 

and festivals, as well as 

providinga focus for their 

efforts. 

With so much experience 

over the years, Mrs. Graham- 

Smith finds her ideas have 

changed and that her teaching 

methods are constantly 

evolving to suit the needs 

of the different generations 

she has taught. Believing 

that making music is the 

Andrea Byrne and Julia Apostle. 

Photo Allison Cingle 

real fun and the reward for 

all the routine and theory, 

she always encouraged her 

children to play in groups, 

with even the youngest 

working on duets. 

Volunteer head 

Speaking to Mrs. Graham- 

Smith before the playover 

for the June 8 recital, I 

asked her about her involvement 

with the National Arts 

Centre Orchestra Association 

and about the newly formed 

quintet in which she plays. 

I learned that for the past 

three years she has been 

volunteer head of the Youth 

Programme Committee, working 

with the National Arts Centre 

Orchestra and all the local 

school boards. Her first 

project was the series of 

matinée concerts, given at 

the Arts Centre during school 

hours, for grades 7 and 8. 

These concerts, which have 

been extended to include 

grades 5 and 6. are conducted 

by Boris Brott who travels 

to Ottawa for them. 

This year they were held 

in early June. She has 

also arranged the "musicians 

in the school" programme, 

where NACO musicians go on 

tour to various schools. 

Next year's project will 

be a week of concerts 

for grades 1 to 4. 

As for the Quintet, 

its formation last year was 

inspired partly by a desire 

to do something special to 

mark her 30th anniversay of 

graduation from the Royal 

Academy, and partly by the 

chance hearing of a quintet 

by Hummel, scored for violin, 

viola, piano, cello and 

double bass. After quite 

a search to locate the score, 

she brought together a group 

of professional musicians - 

Brian Boychuk,violin, 

Phyllis Wedding, viola, Pavel 

Symcyzk-Marjanovic,cello 

and Ed Hounsell, doublebass. 

(All but Pavel play 

with the NACO.) The quintet 

performed two movements from 

the piece by Hummel at last 

summer's recital. This year 

they again provided a spirited 

finale to the student's 

recital. 

After talking to Mrs. 

Graham-Smith, I listened to 

two groups of students, 

about twenty in all, perform 

ed the pieces they had prepared 

for the recital, as 

well as some selections for 

upcoming conservatory exams. 

In keeping with this year's 

tercentenary theme, many 

of the pieces were from the 

Baroque period. The younger 

group of students played a 

variety of short lively 

pieces. As each student 

played, and played well. 

the others listened intently 

- (no squirming or lack of 

attention here!) Only rarely 

was it necessary for Mrs. 

Graham-Smith to supply a 

forgotten note, but to each 

student, she offered performance 

advice and gentle encouragement. 

The younger 

group were followed by a 

group of teens, Nicholas 

Carpenter, Robert Crabtree, 

Heather Coleman, Jenny 

Coleman, Martin Damus, 

Michael Damus, Alex Fleuriaur 

Chateau and Leslie Zypchen 

who played individually, in 

duets, and in family groups, 

in preparation for the recital. 

I was impressed by 

their high level of accomplishment 

and polished performances. 

Closing my eyes 

while listening to wonderful 

music, I could imagine 

June 8: the rented hall, 

the grand piano, the costumes, 

the intense atmosphere 

of the actual performance 

and the applause 

of an appreciative audience 

for a successful recital.

HEALTH 

Myths and misfortunes of Pediculosis 

By CLAUDIA MOODY 

In recent years lice have 

become a major health problem. 

After World War II the incidence 

declined. However, 

they have made a vigorous 

worldwide comeback. They 

are found in every climate 

and may infect anyone from 

any socioeconomic group 

perhaps due in part to the 

increase in sexual freedom, 

communal living and population 

mobility. 

Lice complete their entire 

life cycle on their host (the 

human body). Eggs are 

firmly attached to hair 

shafts and.-clothing by a 

strong cement bond and will 

incubate and hatch ten 

days after laying in temperatures 

more than 229C. 

Therefore, eggs farther than 

linch from the skin will 

not hatch. 

Itching is the earliest 

symptom. This is an allergic 

reaction from an irritating 

substance in the saliva 

of the louse injected into 

the skin at the feeding 

site. There may also be 

mild fever and swelling 

of glands in the neck. 

To diagnose head lice 

the hair must be inspected 

for a silvery or grayishwhite 

glistening nit. The 

back of the head and neck 

and behind the ears are 

the most common sites of 

infestation where the hair 

will appear dry and dull. 

Contrary to popular belief, 

lice do not jumpnp 

from one person to another. 

They may be transmitted by 

clothing and linen, toilet 

seats and through close 

physical contact. 

Primary treatment 

Primary treatment with 

Pyrethrins or Lindane (A-200 

Pyrinate" or Kwellada respectively) 

is aimed at 

killing the eggs and louse. 

It is effective 24 hours 

after application but is 

usually recommended to be 

repeated in 7 days to kill 

pubic lice are not considered 

as toxic as creams used in 

body lice. (Creams must be 

left for at least 6 hours 

at a time). Furniture sprays 

are as effective as vacuuming. 

After treatment of head 

and pubic lice the nits are 

inactivated but will remain 

on the hair and continue 

to irritate the areas, 

thus "nit-picking" must be 

done with a fine tooth comb. 

Prior soaking of the area 

with a 1:1 vinegar and 

water solution for 1 hour 

will soften the nits. 

Infestation of the eyelashes 

and brows can be 

treated with an application 

of thick vaseline jelly 

twice a day for 8-10 days.

If overused the osis (lice) patients often 

products may be toxic, especially 

in children. 

The skin should be clean 

and cool when applied. If 

the skin is hot the increased 

blood flow in the 

skin will increase the likelihood 

of systemic absorption

anxiety. It must be remembered 

that it is no reflection 

on your personal 

hygiene. It is certainly 

a misfortune but it is 

also very common. Many 

school boards are now reporting 

epidemic proportions 

of outbreaks of headlice. 

Remember 

This is a very treatable 

condition, but remember 

that: 

the products must be 

used on cool skin only as 

directed, especially in 

children, 

the symptoms may persist 

after an effective treatment 

(use calamine for the 

itching),

in 7 days to kill 

any nits (not removed by a 

fine comb) which may hatch.

Parenting Centre celebrates tenth year 

By JOANNE DEAN 

On June 21 Ottawa parents 

are celebrating the 10th 

birthday of the Parent Preschool 

Resource Centre with 

a gala party complete with 

skits about the centre, 

birthday cake and balloons. 

"We are inviting P.P.R.C. 

users and alumni to come and 

share memories of the early 

days at the centre," said 

Marion Balla. "We are also 

hoping that people who value 

family support services 

will come and pay tribute 

to the dedication of the 

staff and volunteers who 

have kept the centre going". 

Founding member 

Balla was one of the original 

group of parents who 

banded together in 1975 to 

help each other through the 

hectic task of childraising. 

Starting with bare walls and 

scant resources they created 

the Parent Preschool Resource 

Centre, a model that has 

since been copied across 

Canada. 

"At first the centre was 

only a dream that a number of 

people shared," said Balla. 

A 7. r 

Mrs. Ttggy Winkle's 

"The eatly stages were like 

watching a dream become a 

reality". 

Today the P.P.R.C., located 

at 63 Evelyn Avenue in 

Ottawa East, is a well respected 

support service for 

parents and caregivers of 

young children. It provides 

a drop-in, a toy and book 

library, workshops, and an 

outreach service to playgroups 

across Ottawa. In the past 

ten years it has helped 

thousands of young parents 

through the difficult early 

days. 

"Many parents are very 

idealistic when they have 

their first child and expect 

a wonderful high from parenting," 

said Balla. "But 

they find they aren't sure 

of themselves and they don't 

get the high they expected". 

"The P.P.R.C. helps them 

to realize that this is normal, 

that parenting has its 

ups and downs. It helps 

parents get through the low 

periods and helps maintain 

the high". 

Throughout its history 

the centre has been plagued 

by financial problems. Support 

has come from the provincial 

and municipal governments 

and volunteer fund-

raising, but in 1984-85 the 

centre had to eliminate 

staff positions and reduce 

services to continue operation. 

The gala will be an 

important fundraiser as 

well as a celebration. 

Tickets for the gala are 

available at the Parent 

Preschool Resource Centre 

at 6 Evelyn Avenue, or by 

phoning 733-6655 (evenings).

FITNESS 

Strengthening your cardiovascular system 

By SHELLIE LAIRD 

Last month I started discussing 

aerobic activity and 

more specifically heart rate 

monitoring. In order to 

strengthen and maintain your 

cardiovascular system, your 

heart must beat in its submaximal 

range during the 

aerobic part of your workout. 

Your submaximal range or 

heart rate target zone can 

be found on the accompanying 

chart. 

This range lies approximately 

between 200 minus 

your age and 170 minus your 

age. (Note that the chart is 

in beats per 10 seconds.) To 

obtain your heart rate per 

minute, multiply your 10 

second rate by six. The 

reason for taking a 10 second 

heart rate is to find out 

how hard you were working 

during your aerobic activity 

without getting any recovery 

in the heart rate. To 

obtain your heart rate per 

minute, multiply your 10 

second rate by six to ensure 

you were working in your target 

zone. 

It is useful to take your 

heart rate five or six minutes 

after starting your 

aerobic activity so you can 

adjust to your target zone. 

If your pulse is below 

your target zone, work a 

little harder. If it is 

above, ease off a little. 

If you're working below 

your target zone, you're 

not improving your cardiovascular 

fitness; if you're 

working above it, you will 

exhaust quickly without 

making any substantial fitness 

gains. 

Most of the benefits 

for your cardiovascular 

system are achieved in 

the submaximal target zone. 

Try and learn how hard your 

heart beats during various 

activities. Take your heart 

rate while reading, walking, 

and participating in different 

sports. 

Also take your resting 

heart rate. A true resting 

heart rate is taken 

before getting out of bed 

in the morning, even before 

you sit up. Put a watch 

with a second hand beside 

your bed - and count your 

pulse for a'full minute 

as soon as you wake up. An 

average resting heart rate 

might be 70 beats per minute. 

Highly trained athletes 

may have resting 

heart rates of less than 40 

beats per minute. 

As your cardiovascular 

fitness improves, your resting 

heart rate should decrease. 

You will have to 

work harder to get your 

heart rate into the target 

zone and your recovery rate 

(the speed at which your 

pulse returns to normal after 

physical activity) will also 

improve. 

Heart rate monitoring is a 

useful fitness tool and an 

easy method of ensuring each 

person works at her or his 

own speed. 

There are hundreds of activities 

which can qualify as 

aerobic". Any activity 

Serving You 

at which you can maintain 

your heart rate in your target 

zone for 15-20 consecutive 

minutes, three times 

per week is an aerobic activity. 

Running, walking cycling, 

skipping, swimming, skating, 

rowing, skiing and climbing 

are all good examples or 

aerobic activities. 

Fitness classes also provide 

a variety of activities 

to maintain your heart rate 

in the target zone for at 

least 15 minutes. 

Next time I'll discuss 

some of these activities 

in terms of exercise 

techniques.
