Tenants Organize
By Laird Greenshields
Membership in the Glebe Tenants' Association
totals 77to date, the efforts of a recent canvass
'hold in the area. The figures represent
only 6) per cent of the Glebe area polled and
the association expects more once all lists
have been compiled.
According to steering committee member
Dave Hagerman the object of the canvass was to
advise Glebe residents of the association's
existence. A brochure was distributed encouraging
membership and informing residents of
upcoming meetings which are open to the public.
A steering committee meeting held on Jan. 10
with 18 members' in attendance dealt with policies
and future plans of the association.
With the federal election campaign in full
swing now, it was suggested an Ottawa-Centre
candidate's meeting be organized dealing
specifically with housing issues.
The Glebe Tenant's Association says at the
present time it does not have the resources
required to organize a candidate's debate on
housing.issue-s. The association plans instead
to formulate questions dealing with tenants on
the federal level to direct at Ottawa-Centre
candidates at other campaign meetings.
Steering committee member Sandy Howell says,
"At this point of our development we don't have
the base to deal with the issue."
Most areas of concern to Glebe tenants are
the jurisdiction of municipal or provincial
authorities.
The association plans a general meeting
sometime in February open to the public dealing
with property standards.
The property standards committee of Ottawa
is responsible for accepting complaints from
tenants, assessing the situation before making
a final ruling.
The Glebe Tenants' Association encourages
residents to obtain a free brochure outlining
the responsibilities of landlords, available
from the Ottawa property standards committee at
City Hall.
The association is presently working on a
leaflet outlining tenants' rights to be distributed
throughout the Glebe in the near future.
The information sheet will detail bylaws
pertaining to tenants as well as point out
ous loopholes utilized by landlords.
Plans also call for a study into the number
of complaints received by the property standards
committee as opposed to those acted on and
those resolved.

The GCA and Fifth Ave. Court
December 21, 1979 proved to be a good day neither for community
participation nor for City Hall credibility. At a special emergency
Planning Board meeting held that day to discuss the work stoppage at
the Fifth Avenue Court site, the City reversed its month-old decision
and decided to permit the developer to go ahead with his roof-enclosure
plans after all.
Briefly, the history of the events leading up to this confrontation
are as follows: In December, 1978 the developer presented to the community
a proposed design for a million-dollar shopping mall at Fifth
Avenue and Bank St. There was then and still remains considerable opposition
to this development from the surrounding neighbours.
The architects stated that in late May they changed the design to include
a roof over the courtyard. No application to City Hall was made
for this radical change at that time, but in August the developer made
application to City.Hall. This application was not considered by the
City until November when the application was denied,
At the Planning Board meeting Dec: 21 the neighbouring residents presented
a letter opposing the construction of this enclosure (roof).These
residents are very concerned that this shopping centre becomes a mini-
Billings Bridge Plaza which will cause increased traffic congestion and
eventually erode the residential nature of the surrounding area.
The GCA though still in favour of the original plan is strongly opposed
to the enclosure of the court yard and feels that City Hall must
.stand by their original decision and building application.
The Board asked the developer's architect why such a major change as
this enclosure was undertaken without city hall approval. The architect
stated "I never dreamed that we couldn't". The board asked the young
developer why he changed the plan and the developer stated that "all the
tenants asked for an enclosure and that this change would cause a 25
percent increase in sales". The developer's lawyer stated that if the
roof wasn't approved his ,client would go bankrupt.
The Fifth Avenue Court merchants claimed that their businesses have
been adversely affected because their shops have inadequate heat due to
the construction stoppage. The financially desperate merchants 'criticized
the position of the community and the city and supported the developer.
A representative for Paddlin Maddlin stated that the city was
to blame and that the city "has wasted time on going to the community"
and that in Canada all court yards should be covered since it "rains all
Summer and snows all Winter."
Controller Reid stated that "the developer should have been more concerned
with the citizens and the City". But because of the financial
hardship that would be caused to the de'/eloper'and other related business-
Letter to the Editor and Residents of the Glebe
I, and several of my fellow Glebe entrepreneurs have a problem.
Three years ago I moved to this community from suburbia because I
wdshed to be a resident of what I assumed to be a progressive and openminded
society where people choose to live in a human, people-oriented
environment,unlike the shopping-centre, bumper to bumper boring ratrace
I had been part of for several years.
In the Glebe I have found a çommunity of like-minded people, deeply
interested infitheir community and its proper development. Consequently
on Jan.5, 1978, in an effort to become an integral member of this community
I opened GLEBE FISH.
Since that time I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve and meet many
of my fellow residents and to discuss with them the many local issues
of interest to them and to me.
Since spring, as you know, the major item of local interest has been
the proposed Fifth Avenue Court. The project has been approved and construction
started. We, and now I speak for all of the merchants involved,
took steps to adapt and renovate our premises to comply with the "New
Look".
This required, for all of us, closing our businesses for a period of
approximately 4 weeks, and investing considerable sums to upgrade our
stores.
Having proceeded with these alterations in good, faith we now find ourselves
in a situation, not of our own making, where, due to a conflict
between the developer and the Planning Board concerning the acceptability
of a proposed roof, all construction has come to a halt.
the past 2 months we have found ourselves without heat and proper
power supply, and with incompleted and unattractive storefronts.
We have been subject to vandalism, to negative and confusing media reports
and to greatly reduced parking facilities.
As a result of this confusion we have suffered considerable loss of
business and, more importantly, have begun to question whether our efforts
are of use to the community we serve.
The purpose of this letter is to ask you, as a resident of the Glebe,
to indicate to your elected representatives that you wish to have this
impasse resolved. If you care for us as much as we care for you, please
make your views known to any or all of tlie
following: Alderman MacKinnon, John Evans, Car,Ti von Merveldt

men, Mr. Reid voted for the enclosure. Controller
Law voted likewise.
Both Michêle MacKinnon and Chris Chilton
spoke strongly against both the method used
by the developer and against the need for the
enclosure. Both voted against the enclosure.
The following four concessions were proposed:
no commercial use be made of the courtyard

1.) open access to the courtyard
.) the city maintain the same control over the
ceurtyard space as if it were landscaped open
sr,ace
d) the exploration of the feasibility of in-
..reased light into the courtyard - though
the architect stated this was impossible.
These minor concessions apparently allowed
Alderman Cotterall to support the enclosure and
pass the motion. There were two missing Planning
Board members, Dewar and Hasenack, both of
whom have stated they were against this enclosure.
The GCA wonders if the lesson to be learned
here is for an individual to ignore city hall's
regulations and residents concerns and just do
what one wishes. Then, after the fact, go to
city hall to obtain approval from the toothless
city hall bureaucrat and elected representa -
tives who will only moan and groan and then
perform their ritual of the rubber stamp.

Phil Waserman
by Inez I
In person, Phil Waserman does not appear the
st2reotype of local villain. The GLEBE REPORT
interviewed him Jan. 10, 1980. The boyish-looking
37-year-old is the owner of the Fifth Ave.
Court development.
"I bought the property from Mr. David Loeb
early in '79," he said.I had been working .on
the project since the beginning. He sold it to
me and I now manage it through my own company."
Waserman said the idea for a roof was prompted
by the fact that "almost without exception
present and prospective tenants requested one."
Though initially he didn't have the money for a
roof, he said he applied for mortgage funds
at about the same time he submitted application
for enclosure to Planning Branch Aug. 10, 1979.
Though he would not say who the mortgager was
he read an excerpt from their August letter stating
that financing for the enclosure was dependent
upon approval by Planning Board.
-The developer's decision to go ahead with the
enclosure was made June 13, 1979. Confirmation
of this decision is contained in a portion of a
registered letter on ACTO letterhead dated July
3, 1979. Addressed to Mr. Koffman the architect,
it 'states "this project was well underway with
excavation, formwork and concrete in progress
and structural steel, reinforcing steel and
pressed metal frames awarded with their shop
drawings commenced." It confirms that Waserman
the architect, contractor and two others were
present at the meeting.
Asked if at any time between then and now he
had tried to inform the community of the decision
he replied that the day the decision was
made he phoned Ald. MacKinnon, Howard Smith,
GCA Pres. and John McLeod, Past GCA Pres. He
heard nothing further from the community at that
time.(Ald. MacKinnon says she remembers a call
but that roofing in was not specifically mentioned.
Mr. Smith and Mr. McLeod do not recall
being notified.)
Waserman said that none of the work done on
the construction site before he submitted plans
and application for enclosure to Planning Branch
Aug. 10, 1979, violated specifications for his
original plan for an open court. He said that
when work was stopped in late November ,
the de-
cision was made by himself and the con.tractor.

Board was called for Fri Dec 21/79 to reconsider, once more an application
The Court in Question
by Inez :erg
On Nov. 20, 1979, Planning Board rejected
for undisclosed legal reasons, an application
to enclose Fifth Avenue Court. Work on the
project was halted a few days later by the
contractor and the developer.
According to the contractor, the project as
it stands will have to be roofed in. It appears
that the project has been built to specifications
for plans which had not been submitted to
Planning Branch before construction was done.
"Sure we put in the bigger footings. We did
it back in early June." he said angrily in a
telephone interview Jan. 12."There's no insulation
and no waterproofing. The concrete pad
won't hold the snow and if the roof doesn't go
on there's going to be a caved-in mess."
The project as he describes it conforms to
revised plans submitted to Planning Branch on
Aug. 10, 1979 for which a building permit has
not yet been issued and for which approval was
not officially granted until Dec. 21, 1979. He
claims that he has received no stop-work orders.
The original plans for the open courtyard
for which a building permit was issued May 22
required smaller footings to carry structural
steel of lesser dimensions. What was to have
for a revision to the site plan control for Fifth Avenue Court requesting
the enclosure of the court yard with a complete roof. The members of
the Ottawa Planning Board at that meeting were Controllers Don Reid and
Bill Law, Aldermen Marlene Catterall, Chris Chilton and myself. After a
lengthy discussion and representations from affected parties, Controllers
Don Reid and Bill Law, as well as Alderman Marlene Catterall agreed to
allow the enclosure of the roof. Alderman Chilton and I dissented. I
had opposed the enclosure of the roof from the very beginning, because
I felt that this change was a completely different concept from the
project which had been originally proposed to the community a year ago.
At the Dec. 21st OPB meeting, it was proposed that no commercial use be
made of the covered courtyard area, that there be discussions with the
developer to reach agreement on access to the courtyard, on City control
J,er the courtyard space as if it were landscaped open space and thirdly
-n the feasibility of increased light into the courtyard. In this unfortunate
situation, the developer chose to proceed as early as June /79
with a plan for a roof which had not yet been submitted to the City's
Planning Branch nor Planning Board for approval. After OPB rejected the
application for a roof constructions in November, heat was cut off from
the existing merchants' premises. The merchants were penalized severely
for irresponsible action on the part of the developer, treated in effect
as pawns. It is regrettable that the decision was reversed as the final
product, a bona fide shopping centre, will be a far cry from the scheme
shown to Planning Board and the Glebe Community over a year ago. In a
glossy brochure, the developer spoke of "retaining existing trees" (they
have long been chopped down), "time-related activities in an open courtyard",
"outdoor cafes ", etc. We were assured that this would not be
an ordinary shopping centre, that it would be "different". On that asbeen

tiens stated that at least three official notices
to correct deviations from the original plan were
issued in August and September. "In fact it was
one of these that first brought this whole matter
to the attention of Planning Board."
Buckingham stated that a stop-work order was
issued after the Nov. 20 roof application rejection.
On Dec. 19, 1979 a Special Caucus of Council
was held at the request of Counsel for the contractor
to listen to representations from the
general contractor and the sub-trades The request
indieated that the contractor had nothing
to do with municipal approval and was merely
scheduling work to be performed as efficiently
as possible. Counsel mentioned that the contractor
was under the impression that this revision
of the original drawings was approved by all
necessary authorities.
As a result of the Caucus of Council, Planning
Board met Dec. 21, 1979. After hearing representation
from a number of tenants and community
representatives, Planning Board reversed their
decision of Nov. 20. The application for enclosure
of the court was approved subject to special
conditions.(See GCA article)

Hilary Mackey
Vi Pres. Pet Owners United Inc. We are extremely concerned to learn in December's
GLEBE REPORT that Regional Transportation
has recommended the removal of the stop signs
at Fifth and Chrysler.
In discussing this matter with several of
our neighbours, it would appear that no one is

aware of the complaints concerning these stop
signs. What reason does the Region now have
for recommending the removal of these signs?
Many of us remember the major problems we
had a few months ago when the Region tried to
reinstate major collector routes in our area
i.e. Fifth Avenue. Citizens who thought this
matter was closed years ago, had to fight again
for ground they had already gained.
Removal of the stop signs at Fifth and Chrysler
is the first step. Within a short period
of time, given the waythings seem to happen
between the Region and the City of Ottawa, we
will see other intersections affected and
possibly those signs all the way down Fifth
Avenue. It will then be too late - Fifth
Avenue will be a major route from the Canal
to Bronson.
Although we are aware that the stop signs at
Fifth and Chrysler are not part of the official
Glebe Traffic Plan, we have noted the way
decisions and regulations seem to be altered to
suit the needs of particular legislative bodies,
which serve different interests, i.e. the City
Vs the Region.
On behalf of the Bank and Fifth Residents
Committee, we wish to indicate our opposition
to the removal of the stop signs at Fifth and
Chrysler and we urge all those who are concerned
to contact Alderman MacKinnon.
Let's keep Fifth Avenue the way it is - we
don't need any more traffic.

Winterlude
Everyone's wintertime fantasies come to life again this year in the
By Rhéal Leroux, NCC
National Capital Region when Winterlude invites you to share in its
winter frolic from Feb.8 to Feb. 17, 1980.
At last year's Winterlude, over 225,000 people showed up on the
world's largest rink, the Rideau Canal, 7.8 kilometres in length, to
participate in 10 days of diverse festivities.Winterlude is sponsored by
the National Capital Commission, in cooperation with a number of private
and public organizations.
Winterlude 1980 organizers have drawn up a schedule of activities sure
to delight the entire family. The Ice Hog, believed to have superior
weather forecasting abilities to his cousin the groundhog, will surface
from his home under the Rideau to declare good weather and fun for all
during the ensuing 10 days of merriment.
Winterlude Warmup will be launched by February's March, an opening
parade on Fri. Feb. 8.Participants, special guests, music floats, clowns,
balloons,Dow's Inferno,(a giant bonfire) and Frozen Fireworks will herald
the opening of the festivities.
Over the weekend, enthusiasm and sparks of excitement will be generated
by the Colonel By 10 km. Skate Challenge, an historic cutter parade, a
human chain stretching 8 km., the Winterlude Atom A hockey tournament,and
a triathalon involving running, skating and crosscoutry skiing.
An international outdoor curling challenge, where Lord Elgin and Lady
Victoria, with 30 other curlers from Scotland, will play against Canadians
on the Rideau Canal: snowshoeing competitions, special snow slides
and other original évents are scheduled.
ICE DREAM is a magical, fairytale world featuring 60 enchanting ice
sculptures. Last year 75,000 people visited Ice Dream on Dow's Lake. Put
on your skates or grab a seat on a sleigh... and visit this unique project
constructed by high school, college and university students, government
employees and some of your own neighbours.
The Region's youngsters will be welcomed to three special days on
the Canal (Mon. Feb. 11, Tues. Feb. 12 and Wed. Feb. 13) where they will
find sleigh rides, clowns, Piruvic ice playground and a myriad of other
surprises awaiting them
Thurs. Feb. 14 is a day for lovers: Beginning Valentine's Day at
7:30 p.m. the first Arlington-Daoust Outdoor Skating Show will be staged.
with guest performances by Don Fraser and Candy Jones, World Professional
Pairs Champions. A second show is scheduled at 9:00 p.m. and again on the
following days (Friday and Saturday). These events take place at Fifth
Avenue.Warm-up after the show at several Winterlude Balls scheduled a-

The Great Canadian B,drace and the Bartenders
Race in which bartenders and waitresses carry
full glasses of wine, are two of the entertaining
events during the second we2kend of Winterlude.
Last year harness racing attracted some of the
best race horses and drivers LA Canada, and the
event was broadcast on CBC. Thus all of Canada
was able to admire the agility of these fine,
high-stepping animals and the skill demonstrated
by their drivers in handling them. The Canadian
Club Classic will be the crowning event of the
festivities..
Participants will be able to enjoy sleigh rides
ice mazes and slides, bean suppers,dance and
music, and many other activities.
Check your local newspaper for the exact time a
and location of events, or call Rhéal Leroux at

Perhaps this period of political uncertainty is the appropriate time
to launch an alternative party with a refreshing new philosophy. One that
lies outside a left-wing or right-wing orientation.
The 'Green Movement' has already made its presence felt in a small but
very significant way in its first federal election in Britain, where the
Ecology Party ran in 53 seats. The movement has also been significant in
the politics of France, Italy, in the European Parliamentary elections,
Australia, New Zealand and Tasmania.
The Conserver Society philosophy of Canada has many similarities to
Britain's
Ecology Party Manifesto and the Science Council's Report,
CANADA AS A CONSERVER SOCIETY, could provide an excellent basis for developing
policies for a Canadian Ecology Party. The party needs a holistic
scope and a comprehensive philosophy which seeks to solve all the social,
economic and environmental crises confronting us.
Any nominations from the Glebe for an Ottawa Centre candidate?
The Elm as a Pollution Indicator
The elm tree has a very large leaf surface area, the largest of any
tree in North America. If all the leaves of a mature elm are placed edge
to edge on the ground,they cover about 10 acres. With this much of its
surface exposed to air pollution, it is natural that it would be more
susceptible to disease than other trees. Thus when the elm bark beetle
comes along, the tree is too weak to fight back. Other tree species will
soon follow the demise of our stately elm.
This is the view of Richard St. Barbe Baker, the world's most renowned
expert on trees for the past 70 years.
COOL YOUR surmER - BOTTLE A BIT OF WINTER
Does anyone recall when the cottage icebox was filled with ice cut
during the winter from local lake and stored in sawdust for summer use?
Ed Morofsky of Public Works Canada's Energy Secretariat, is behind
Project ICEBOX, a resurrection of the idea of using winter's cold to make
ice but this time to cool office buildings during the summer months. What
could be more natural?

Renovation Information
Wood siding and other wooden parts on the exterior
of houses such as porches and bargeboards
can last indefinitely provided they are protected
from damage by weather etc. The most important
thing is not to let deterioration begin.
Minor repairs with caulking compound, inserting
new wood pieces, touching up with a paint brush
can save trouble if action is taken quickly.
A "stitch in time saves nine":
Covering exterior wood with metal or plastic
siding is expensive, and in most cases is completely
unnecessary. It also changes the appearance
of the building and reduces the heritage
value.
Most repairs and routine maintenance can be
done by the hôme handyman with a minimum of
effort and cost. If hired help is needed, don't
just trust the yellow pages or newspaper ads to
locate a tradesman - the best way is to find
one who is actually working on a similar job on
someone else's house and is doing a good job.
Also pass on the names of good tradesmen; eventually
more will specialize in solving the maintenance
problems of the older Glebe houses, without
destrcying the heritage features.
Cambodian Relief
Dear Editor:
May I try to dispel some of the confusion that
appears widespread on the effc2ts to provide relief
to Cambodian refugees.
Although I can say very little about the situation
within Kampuchea itself where UNICEF and
the International Comrittee of the Red Cross are
directing the effort, I do have first-hand reports
troM CARE workers in Thailand which testify
to the high degree of co-operation existing
petween the various agencies and organizations
ministering to the sick and hungry in the
refugee camps.
There is an actively functioning council
called the Committee for Co-ordination of
Services to Displaced Persons in Thailand
(CCSDPT) which meets at least once a week and
allocates responsibilities to participating
agencies.

Fifth Avenue Court
by Howard Smith
The Saga of Fifth Avenue Court continues and
some recent developments are described by Bob
Monaghan our Planning Committee Chairman in a
separate article. As of the date of writing (Jan
8) the Ottawa Planning Board had decided to
refer the matter, including whether or not the
courtyard should have a roof, to City Council
on Wed.Jan 16 at 5.30 pm. Immediately before
that council meeting there will be an open
public meeting at City Hall at which residents
can express their views directly to Council
members.
Glebe Development Plan
On :Jan. 16,COuncil is expected to give approval
to the Glebe Development Plan and we can
then move directly towards its implementation.
The Plan does not cover all the land owned
by the NCC in the Glebe. The NCC and Parks
Canada are now examining proposals for the
further development of the Rideau Canal and
Dow's Lake. Preliminary contacts with the responsible
officials indicate we may have an
opportunity shortly to participate in discussion
on how these properties should be managed and
developed.
Workshop on Community Participation
The City-sponsored workshop on liaison with
citizens and community participation will be held
in February. The GCA is providing a representative
to the organizing committee and will be
actively participating in the actual workshop.
It would be interesting to learn your views and
experiences in dealing with City Hall. To what
extent is it easy to obtain information of a
general or very specific nature; to what extent
do you fee/ your views are taken into account;
how can the process of information dissemination
and community participation be improved? Please
let us know your thoughts (235-7400) after 5pm.
Federal Election in Ottawa Centre
Prior to the federal election Feb. 18, the
GCA plans to sponsor an all-candidates meeting.
It likely will be on Mon. Feb. 11 in Glebe

Membership Update
by Joy Heft
As of this writing, the 1980 membership totals 1530 members living
in 840 households. While this achievement would be envied by many conmunity
associations, we have so far fallen short of last year's succesc
when we reached over 1000 households and boasted over 1800 members.
The picture to date is this:
A plus: We have sold over 300 new memberships: About 75 of these are
from the Dow's Lake Area which was part of the campaign for the
first time this year. We have also done well in recruiting new
members in areas that have been traditionally well represented.
A minus: Over 500 former memberships are as yet unrenewed. This loss
may be explained in part by the fact that people have moved, are
no longer interested (very few of these), or were not home when
their block rep called. Another considerable factor is that we
have simply not been successful in finding block reps for every
block. (see below)
A(partial)solution : 1. Very soon, we will be mailing out renewal
forms to those who were absent when canvassed. This will be the
last opportunity for these people to renew this year.
2. Accompanying this article is a membership form which may be
clipped out and sent in by those wishing to join our ranks or
renew a lapsed merbership.
A plea: Listed below are the blocks where no reps exist. If you have
a bit of free time and are willing to canvass your own or a neighbouring
block among them, please contact J. Heft at 232-1492.

In 1905, he entered Toronto University. After Doc's graduatioh, Di.
Wilmot, Dental College Principal, recommended him to take over a Sussex

after 50 years as a dentist, he was renowned for his gold and bridgework.
He had been the second highest single dental user of gold in Ottawa.

with a solid top and the new and comfortable balloon tires, he sold the
Overland ten years later. Having owned and worked on five cars in his
lifetime, he says wistfully,"Perhaps I should have kept it because, after
10 years, it did not have a spot of rust, not a spot." In 1978, at 96, he
decided to give up driving.
During the summer, he took his wife and four children to their lovely

at the beaches, relax at their cottages and dance in the-hall at the end

The deiision of the Physical Environment Committee will then be forwarded
to City Council, for approval or rejection Feb 6.
Some Glebe residents have expressed fear that this stop sign may be
a "first" and that other stop signs are threatened. This is not so.
All the stop signs installed as a result of the 1974 Glebe Traffic Plan
met the warrants of the Regional Transportation Department and they are
not up for review or evaluation. The multi-way stop at Fifth and Chrysler
was installed even though it did not meet the warrants, with the understanding
that it would be reviewed after a trial period. It is as a
result of this review that the Physical Environment Department (the
bureaucrats) is bringing the item tp the Physical Environment Committee
(the politicians). The final decision is up to City Council on Feb. 6.
At the risk of being redundant, I would like to reassure Glebe
residents that this is NOT the beginning of any attempt to remove Stop
Signs in our community.
Region Responsible
In reply to Mrs. Bernice Hamer's query in the December issue of the
GLEBE REPORT, I have been officially informed in writing by Mr. Michael
Sheflin, Commissioner of Transportation for the Regional Municipality
of Ottawa-Carleton, that RMOC has no plans whatsoever for the Bronson
and Carling intersection. As this corner is the intersection of two
regional roads, it would be the Region,and not the City who would become
involved in any transformations or renovations to that corner. The
Region has no plans for the intersection.

Works in Progress
and Future Exhibitions
For the aficionados of Pat Durr's miniature
acrylics, she's still producing them. Wells
Gallery is the place to go to view her latest
works. Pat's currently thinking big and has
begun a new series of large,mixed-media paintings.
"More gestural,"Pat describes them.
Another artist on .a new tack is Ken Finch.
Ken heads for the Gatineau once a week to paint
and collect images for a new series of large,
abstract landscapes. "I'm experimenting," Ken
says,"and hope to show the results this summer."
John Tappin's large wood and plastic light
sculpture, nearly completed, was conceived for
the stairwell of The Amberwood Village Country
Club, Stittsville. It is an ambitious and intriging
work. John expects to continue sculpture in
wood combined with plastic or bronze. His work
is on view in his basement studio at Corpus
Christi.
Photographer and printer Jaan Krusberg
has just produced a silkscreen and co-produced
"The Ninth Annual Family Slide Show" - a photofantasy
and spoof which Jaan says he may like
to show at The Glebe Centre next Christmas.
Geos magazine will publish this spring
some of architect John Leaning's fine drawings
.of the north. And if the public is lucky, an
exhibition of the same will be arranged at that
time.
Monica Pine is off to England for a month
to feast on galleries and sketch. When she
returns she expects to organize a retrospective
exhibition of her varied works.
Jeannine Robertson is currently working on
a suite of four silkscreen prints. She is aiming
for completion by Confederation Day. These
will be shown at The Braam Gallery of which she
is co-owner.

Glebe Renaissance by D. H. Fullerton
GLEBE REPORT January page 17
We moved to Glendale Avenue in 1945 and have lived in the
Glebe for 23 of the 35 years since. Most of the missing 12
were spent on Delaware at the Driveway, just a good golf
drive away. This no doubt tells you something about us, and
our bias in favour of inner city living in preference to
newer suburbia, but I think it also provides you with one
more confirmation of the wisdom of your own choice of the
Glebe as a good place to live.
The Glebe to-day, of course, is not the place it was 15
or even 10 years ago. Miracles have been wrought with old
row housing, signs of architects at work are everywhere, and
if elegance is hardly the word to apply universally, there
is scarcely a street where most of the houses have not been
improved in tome major way. The relatively few new houses,
Percy, Lyon and Bank. Although I was attacked by one local
politician as taking 'elitist' action to keep traffic
off my own street, Glebe citizens were intrigued and a
city traffic study was undertaken. NCC agreed to block
access from the Driveway from Monkland to Fourth, and
the system you see to-day, a watered down version of
Leaning's project, finally emerged.
The slowing of traffic which resulted has undoubtedly
helped make the Glebe a more attractive place to live,
particularly for families with children, but during recent
years there have been other elements at work. One
was certainly the developing sense of neighbourhood,
some of it fostered by the Community Association, which
gave residents a sense of belonging to a specific area

to perform a similarly divisive operation in Ottawa East - all
of this to provide readier access to downtown for the cars of
the new hordes from the developing western suburbs. This was
part of the iniquitous OHATS (Ottawa-Hull Area Transportation
Study) proposals, which calmly recommended the criss-crossing
of the city with new artèrials and expressways, regardless of
their impact on established neighbourhoods or on the homes of
the people in them. Ottawa was to be delivered, bound hand
and foot, to the automobile.
This outraged many Glebe residents, as well as others in
threatened parts of the city, and the neighbourhood association
movement took off. I shared their sense of outrage, and
when I became NCC Chairman in September 1969, I found many NCC
staff members of a similar mind. We decided to do what we
could to bring about a saner approach to transportation and
traffic problems. For one thing, I made a number of speeches
attacking the automobile; one was delivered in Glebe Collegiate
in January 1970 to a group of local Community Associations.
I ended the speech with what I hoped was a resounding
call to arms:
"Whether you like it or not, you are at war with the
automobile. You must fight, but you can only fight
effectively by banding together and exerting political
pressure...You will lose battles...but you can win the
war:"
One of the best things we at NCC did was to call on John
Leaning, Glebe resident and former NCC employee, to draw up a
plan to show how a neighbourhood could protect itself against
1
the incursions of the car. He had been doing work in this
field, using the Glebe as his model, and he prepared for us
what came to be known as the Leaning Plan. Essentially it
involved restricting access from outside, eliminating through
streets as much as possible with stop signs, making things
easier for pedestrians,and seeking to push traffic on to perimeter
arterials such as Isabella and the Driveway.
The City was not very enthusiastic but since NCC controlled
one street in the Glebe, Clemow,we decided to apply Leaning's
approach to it,blocking entry at Bank and Bronson,closing it at
Bank and O'connor,and narrowing the avenue to one lane at Bronson

Mary says Tom is a more sympathetic reviewer. If Mary has a bad
meal she just wants to leave - forget the coffee, and write about her
negative reaction, but Tom will try to find something good to say about
the place. Tom says this is because he knows that the restaurant business
is a tough one. The owner/manager puts so much into his restaurant,
financially and emotionally, and these people need encouragement. The
Fords believe that the best restaurants are those where the owner/manager
is present; his supervision ensures the quality of the food and service
and results in more satisfied customers. This is one enormous advantage
which independents have over restaurant chains. The chains, on the other
hand, have the financial resources to sustain a new branch while it gets
going or even to carry a poor restaurant for a while.
Can reviewers make or break a restaurant? Yes and no. A bad restaurant
will fail, regardless of what the reviewers write. A favourable review
can increase business - on one occasion by as much as 300 percent. Tom
and Mary stressed that they are reviewers, not critics. They try tO inform
the public about a restaurant's performance measured against the
restaurant's own objectives. They do not attempt to write a definite
judgment based on an absolute ideal. You can have good junk food, for
example.
The Fords have been told of customers who enter a restaurant with a
Ford review in hand and order exactly those dishes mentioned. Does this
reflect timidity as does the fact that English-Canadians will not complain
about bad food or poor service? (They'll eat the meal but never
come back.) Good food is a mutual affair, demanding honesty and imagin-
ation from both customer and cook.
Ice cream and pie still food of the future?
Ottawans. have become more adventurous in their tastes. Twenty years
ago the most exotic food in town was garlic spareribs and chicken fried
rice. Today the locals are satisfying their taste buds with Greek,
Mexican, Indian, and Afghan dishes while starting to demand fresh fish
and undercooked vegetables from the non-ethnic establishments Yet too
.
many restaurants cater to the lowest common denominator with identical
menus and decor: heavy on atmosphere, slabs of meat, and iceberg lettuce
awash in a gluey dressing. And too many customers keep going back for
more.
What can we look forward to in the 1980's as the energy shortage
continues and inflation keeps food prices climbing? Common sense suggests
more neighbourhood restaurants so that customers can walk to a decent
meal rather than driving across town and so that good restauranteurs
can develop an appreciative local clientele. More restaurants should
experiment with alternate dishes, based on vegetarian ingredients, which
can be less expensive, more nourishing, and just as delicious as anything
Mom used to make. More restaurants should use local seasonal foods.

There has been much community interest and
discussion in Ottawa in the last few years
concerning the availability of affordable housing
for people with modest incomes. The City of
Ottawa Planning Branch has been devoting considerable
attention to a number of housing issues
within the inner city, specifically the issues
of; rooming house accommodation, housing for ---
single persons, rehabilitation and the retention
of rental housing.
The facts
Rooming house accommodation is quickly
disappearing.
Every third household in Ottawa is now a
single person household.
Ces dernières années la communauté 'd'Ottawa s'est
beaucoup intéressée, et il y a eu beaucoup de
discussions, au sujet des possibilités de logement
pour les personnes à revenu modeste. La Direction
&l'urbanisme d'Ottawa a étudié à fond plusieurs
des problèmes de logement en ville, en
particulier, les problèmes de logements en maisons
de chambres, de logements pour personnes seules et
de réhabilitation et de maritien du logement offert
en location.
Les faits
Les logements en maisons de chambres sont en
voie de disparition rapide.
Un logement sur trois â Ottawa, est maintenant
occupé par une seule personne.

Inner city rental housing is being converted

income persons and families.
hat will be done?
To address the issues, the Planning Branch has
prepared a series of twenty-six recommendations
and would like to have your comments on them
before they are considered by City Council. Three
of these recommendations are:
1. That the City of Ottawa make funding available
to landlords of rooming houses to fix up their
properties in order to retain the existence of
some rooming house stock.
That the City of Ottawa Non-Profit Housing
Corporation become active in the acquisition
and management of rooming houses and other
accommodation suitable for single persons.
3. That conversions of rental properties to
ownership tenure in the inner-city neighbourhoods
of Ottawa (Dalhousie, Lowertown,
Sandy Hill, Centretown, Capital Ward) be
restricted to single detached and newly
constructed row and semi-detached dwellings,
or when the present tenant wishes to purchase
their unit.

Le logement en location, en ville, est en
train de devenir logement occupé par le
propriétaire, avec diminution du nombre
d'unités à loyer à la portée des personnes et
familles à revenu modeste.
Que va-t-on faire?
Face â ces problèmes, la Direction de l'urbanisme
a préparé une série de vingt-six recommandations
et elle voudrait savoir ce que vous en pensez,
avant de les soumettre au Conseil. Voici trois de
ces recommandations:
Que la Ville d'Ottawa mette des fonds â la
disposition des propriétaires de maisons de
chambres pour leur permettre de remettre leurs
propriétes en bon état, afin que l'on puisse
conserver une partie du nombre de maisons de
chambres.
Que la Société du logement ) but non lucratif
de la Ville d'Ottawa se lance dans
l'acquisition et la gérance de maisons de
chambres, et autres modes de logement
convenant aux personnes seules.
Que la conversion des propriétés â louer, en
occupation par le propriétaire, dans les
quartiers de Dalhousie, de la Basse-Ville, de
la Ca-te-de-Sable, du Centre-Ville, du quartier
Capital, soit limitéé aux maisons simples et
aux maisons en rangée et jumelées de

GLEBE REPORT January page 20

With the beginning of a new decade, the present
executive of GNAG goes into the final
stretch of their term of office. In the middle
of April, the annual meeting will see the end
of another "year" for GNAG. In order to prepare
for the coming year, it is time for all
people in the Glebe to think about volunteering
to help out with GNAG.
Some people have the feeling that this takes
a lot of time. In fact, it only takes that
amount of time which one wishes to devote to it.
Many of you Glebites do volunteer for community
work. Have you ever considered serving on GNAG?
(or the Glebe Community Association?) With the
many people who do help out, we all find the
time devoted to GNAG is minimal. I would ask
you to give some thought to helping out with
GNAG and to coming out to a meeting or two (we
meet the second Wednesday evening of each month).
If you wish to explore this group, please call
me (236-4328), Anne Jeanjean (235-7405), Anne
Woodbridge (235-1627), Dinah Showman (232-4602),
Patricia Mercer (233-6851) or any other GNAG
member. We know you will enjoy yourself.
In last month's GNAG BAG, I mentioned the
various groups which use the Centre. However,
I forgot to mention that we also have a Seniors'
programme - some card games, conversation, and
some tea and sweet bread in Ilse's Pantry. I
have talked to some of the senior people who
attend and they are very enthusiastic about it.
The Winter programme booklet is out. It
shows the total offering of programmes and
courses being held at the Glebe Community Centre.
Be sure and pick one up since registration
started January 10.

School Notes
Hopewell Public School Student Council
Hopewell's student council is in the process of planning

contest, car wash and graduation dance at the end of the year.
Learning by Doing in Montessori School

While the name Montessori is not unfamiliar to most parents,
her theories and methods are less well-known.
The Montessori approach aims to ensure the normal development
of the whole personality of the child, of his physical Moving clockwise around the table are: Claire Campbell,

his own work and proceed at his own pace, his failures are
only temporary and are soon overcome. By learning in this
way the child gains the self-confidence so necessary in the
creation of competence.
The large and colourful assortment of scientifically designed
material available to the child enable him to learn
by doing. Thus he is able to get a picture of reality in
the concrete before proceeding to the abstract. Each task
teaches hand, eye co-ordination, small muscle control and
relationships in shape and size, colour and texture.
The role of the teacher is to show the child the proper
way to use the material and do work. The child then teaches
himself through his own activity.

Hearty Soups
The truly great soups of every national cuisine are those which serve
as a meal-in-a-bowl. Here are two vegetable soup favourites which have
"evolved" in my kitchen. The first will be familiar to children and
parents of the Saturday Workshop cooking class of 1974-75.
Winter Vegetable Beef Soup
In a soup kettle cook 3 onions, chopped, in 2 tbsp. butter until they
are tender and golden. Stir in 1 lb. ground lean beef and 1 garlic clove,
minced, and cook the mixture separating the beef with a fork, until it is
brown. Add 3 cups beef stock, 2 large tins tomatoes, 1 cup each of potatoes,
celery, green beans, and carrots, all diced, 1 cup dry red wine,
2 tbsp. chopped parsley, 1 tsp. basil, 4 tsp. thyme, and salt and pepper
to taste. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer it for
about 1 to 14 hours. Serves 8 - 10.
Ham Bone Vegetable Soup
Prepare the following vegetables: Core and shred a 1 lb. head of cabbage.
Peel 1 lb. celeriac, 1 small parsnip, 1 small white turnip, and 1
small yellow turnip and cut them all into bite-sized pieces. Scrape two
large carrots and slice them thinly. Peel 1/3 lb. onions, trim off the
root and green top of 1 large leek, and slice them both. Shell 1 lb.
peas (or substitute 4 - A lb. frozen). Trim A lb. green beans and 4 lb.
wax beans and cut them both into 3/4-inch pieces.
Melt 3 tbsp. shortening in a soup kettle. Add the vegetables and cook
them, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes. Add a ham bone, a bouquet
garni, 3/4 cup old-fashioned oatmeal, a 1 lb. can of Italian tomatoes,
and 2 qts. of beef consommé'. Cover the kettle and cook the soup for 3
hours, or until it is thick. Discard the ham bone and the bouquet garni
and add salt and pepper to taste. Half the soup can be poured into
freezer containers, cooled, and frozen. Remove the frozen blocks from
the containers, wrap them in freezer-weight foil or in freezer bags, and
store. The remaining soup will serve 6 - 8.
To serve the frozen soup, put it in a saucepan and heat it slowly,
turning the frozen block occasionally to hasten defrosting and stirring
frequently to break up the frozen pieces.
Next month a series of recipes reflecting the "ethnic mix of the Glebe"
(CAPITAL WARD NEIGHBOURHOOD STUDIES. EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT*) will
begin with recipes from the German cuisine. Watch fôr Italian, French
and British recipes: If you would be willing to share a recipe with our
readers, please drop it in at THE.GLEBE REPORT office in the Community
