Council Approves Neighbourhood Plan By Doug Gloin City Council gave its assent to the Glebe Neighbourhood Plan on Jan. 16; the approval, fiowever, was not without controversy. Although Alderman Joe Quinn cast the only vote against the plan, several other members of City Council said they feared the plan had fallen short of some of its goals. Ottawa, February 15, 1980 8 The areas of greatest dispute in the 63-page Vol. No. 2 report were recommendations concerning rental dwellings within the Glebe. Many councillors felt the plan was defeating the intent outlined at its inception more than two years ago. The neighbourhood plan states its concern to "main- tain, preserve and enhance the Glebe as an attractive residential neighborhood for people of various ages, income levels and life situat- ions." The Glebe Neighbourhood Plan was initiated on Sept. 15, 1977. The goal was to promote a "villagén atmosphere within the Glebe and the plan was drawn up through cooperation between the Glebe Community Association and the City's planning board. Different interest groups worked in committee to study areas of concern such as transportation, land use, and recreational and social needs. Alderman Rolf Hasenack voiced the strongest objections to the plan. He disagreed with cer- A Gatineau Park Winter Scene on Dow's Lake?

Council Approves Plan from p.1 realized the recommendation was designed to control the number of absentee landlords operat- ing in the Glebe, he thought "conversions are an integral part of a community, and allow it to change and adapt.' MacKinnon argued in favour of the regulation. She said it would prevent speculators from operating "whose only interest is making money." Hasenack lost a motior in a tie to delete a proposed 10.7 metre height limit on new buildings. He said the height limit eliminated the possib- ilities of a varied neighbourhood. "We have done a flip-flop," Hasenack said, "the concern o tenants is not beiNig thought of." Dissatisfaction with what some members of council saw as a movement to turn the Glebe into an area of single-family dwellings focused on the half-acre proposed park at the corner of Lakeview Terrrace and Bronson Avenue. While the plan to use the site as parkland Photo by Toni Venturi was carried, Controller Ralph Sutherland gave "reluctant support" for the proposal.

Counsel for the developer simply stated that the project would have to be deferred indefinitely for financial reasons if the roof was refused. Controller Sutherland defended Council's support of the enclosure. 'It was felt that nothing useful would be gained by denying the roof" he said. "While we do not applaud the methods of the developer we do not feel that the neighbourhood planning process will be compromised by granting enclosure."

When City Council passed the Glebe Develop- C ital ment Plan, it endorsed the recommendations of the Lansdowne Development Advisory Committee (LDAC), as originally approved by City Council in June, ard 1977.

After it was successfully opposed by area residents, Council formed LDAC to consider a long-range plan for Lansdowne.

The book is 'Chil- dren's Choices of Canadian Books': the Glebe children are among more than 800 children from the National Capital region who participated in Choices of the study on which it is based. It all started about two years ago when a small group of Ottawa pa- rents shared their concern for their children's awareness of things Canadian. When reading good Canadian books was accepted as a possible GINADIAN way to improve this, they discovered how difficult it is to find such books and then to know whether a child would like them. Books recommend- ed by teachers, librarians and the book industry always reflect the adult point of view; little or no research has been done to establish how BOOKS children react to bcoks these adults suggest. As a result, the Citizens Committee on Children, a local voluntary organization, developed a plan to ask children to read and report on selected books. Readers were signed on, adults devised a book questionnaire and a system of distri- 1" buting books and collating their responses. The result is 'Children's Choices of Canadian Books'. Published in ..41, November, it describes 198 titles in English as to story outline, read- er's enjoyment, age range for which each is suitable and relative Cana- dian content. Parents, teachers, librarians or anyone searching for a child's gift will find it helpful and readable as well, for the children proved to be candid and perceptive critics with many a pithy (and amu- sing) comment. Priced at $3, the book is available at Octopus Books, Bank St. near Fifth, or by mail (add 50ç for postage) from the CCC, Box 6133, Station J, Ottawa, K2A 1T2.

I am writing to express the appreciation of the Glebe Community Assoc- iation and all Glebe residents for the contribution of the City of Ottawa to the preparation of the Glebe Development Plan. The effort put in by the members of City Council and City staff combined with the many hours of h4rd work contributed by a wide cross-section of citizens has resulted in a Plan which the Glebe and Ottawa can support and be justi- DAVID HAMILTON fiably proud. It would seem reasonable to expect that on January 16, 1980, Council would endorse the Plan given that its central objective is to maintain the Glebe as a residential community in which people in diverse cir- cumstances and life styles can live in harmony with each other and in balance with the interests of the City of Ottawa as a whole. Such approval would also constitute a reaffirmation of Council's commitment to community planning and set the stage for the actual implementation of the Plan. In conclusion, the Glebe would like to thank you and your colleagues on Council for this continuing interest, encouragement and support.

Furniture donations began piling up in the church hall, and where there were duplicate items, these were exchanged for other furniture and appliance items at the Furniture Depot. All offers of clothing were directed to Project 4000, and when the family arrived in September, they were taken on a "free shopping spree" at the Clothing Depot in the old St. Jean Baptiste School at Somerset and Empress Streets. The only clothes that eventually had to be pur- chased were a few pairs of winter boots. Keo's flair with a needle and thread has converted some most unlikely pieces of used clothing into a stylish wardrobe for the whole family. This busy family must get up at 5.30 or 6.00 in the morning to get everyone organized for schools and jobs. Bounkeo works all day as a dishwasher and attends evening language classes. He had taught himself basic English in the Refugee Camp in Thailand, but needs advanced language training in order to practice his trade as an Accountant. He had worked for the Bank of Tokyo in Vientiane before the country fell to the Communists. Keo is learning English with a speed that amazes her teacher at Ottawa Tech. She is a skilled dressmaker and in her spare time between school, caring for the children and household tasks, she has been earning money making clothes and doing alterations for members of the Sponsorship group and their friends.

22 cents from each of your tax dollars goes just to pay the interest on the national debt.

Don't you think it's time for some tough decisions?

Canada is over 100 billion dollars in debt. Just 13 years ago the amount of money it took to run the country was less than what the federal deficit is today. That's what the Trudeau government did for you. Eight months ago Canadians voted for change and the Conservative government under Prime Minister Clark started making some very tough, but very necessary, deci- sions. Decisions which we all know have to be made today if we want to build a secure tomorrow. And that tomorrow is closer than we think. In the short time the Conservatives held office we acted on over 125 campaign commitments all aimed at getting government away from credit card spending and waste, developing our energy resources to loosen our dependence on unstable foreign oil supplies, and providing you with an open, responsible government.

I ask you to support me with your vote. By doing so you will be returning a government which knows that we've got to stop sticking our heads in the sand and face up to our problems. A government which knows that if it takes tough measures today, we'll all have a better, more secure tomorrow. It really is time for tough decisions. Isn't it?

DINING OT SUPER with Barbara Riley SPECIALS Pub Atmosphere at Patty's Patty's Place (1070 Bank) is a snug little pub decorated with green glass shades, green plants, Irish posters and other pub paraphenalia, a stand-up bar and thirteen tables - all in a space smaller than most FARES "rec" rooms. On a cold and wintry evening it is cozy and warm (except when someone forgets to close the door) and where else can you eavesdrop ING UP so easily on two different conversations at the same time?

The heart of the menu.is a series of variations played on the theme of fish and chips ($4.95) - shrimp and chips ($5.25), scallops and chips G° ($5.25), fisherman's platter (scallops, cod, shrimp and chips for $5.75- plus Irish stew ($4.25). The non-Irish can order roast beef or smoked meat sandwiches with chips $3.50) or even - begorrah: chili ($3.75). Patty also offers "homemade" soup ($.90) and dessert (apple pie - $1.25, BUY NOW Irish currant pudding - $1.00, crème de menthe liqueur parfait - $1.95). In addition to the usual alcohol, there is a long list of Irish specialty drinks plus Harp beer ("Made in the Republic of Ireland"). AND SAVE The fish and chips and scallops in a basket came piping hot to the table. The thick chips were good, the batter crisp and the fish delicious, but only six little scallops could be found. The servings are very moderate so a very hungry diner (or your average teenager) will have to supplement the meal with a roast beef sandwich. Luckily Patty makes a good one - hot and tender beef between thick slices of crusty bread. Dessert was a downer. The apple "pie" (really a deep-dish apple crisp) was made with canned apples and the currant pudding was almost indiges- tible. Bread pudding is one of my favourite's but Patty's was heavy and Ottawa-London soggy, as if it had been made of flour and water. And while it is quite legitimate to use old bread, stale bread is definitely a no-no. Well, me lads, the Irish music is good fun, the waitress pleasant, from $419. and the atmosphere cheery. Best bet: fish and chips, Harp beer and in- stead of dessert, why not try Irish coffee: C414 1 Toronto-lreland from $395 Healthy PLANTS Original CRAFTS Friendly PEOPLE Toronto-Rome from $559 February IVY assorted Special varieties HANDA The exotic plant of the month is the Phalaenopsis Orchid, Also available are flowering azaleas, narcissus, begonias , cyclamens amaryllis and kalenchoes, to brighten up anyone's day.

Of the eleven children in the family, three are artists. A brother who is a portraitaartist in Toronto recently designed a cover for a Harlequin romance. A sister stu- dies at the Art College of Ontario. Joe's abilities as an artist were recognized in primary school. After high school graduation in Buckingham, he helped his father in an abat- toir by day - and studied art through corres- pondence at night. ne developed an interest in .art theory and in 1966 moved to Ottawa. Joe then studied aesthetics and studio art at Ottawa University. He received a B.A., art specialty, in 1972. At present he is completing a post graduate degree in phenomenology. "It's a method of analysis easy to apply to art," Joe explains. Now as then he supports his studies by working as a butcher and as a free lance por- trait artist. The walls of Joe's apartment indicate this artist's versatility and interests. One sees animated, slick portraits of opera stars in conté (crayon with oil binder), large acrylic abstracts, a soft-colored, dream-like portrait of a small boy (who, friends insist, is Joe him- self) and some small etchings. "My orientation is toward the graphic," states Joe, "and etching is my preferred medium." He is experimenting with a new etching technique which originates with him. He uses no hard tools, but instead draws directly on the plate with rubber cement. "I want to create fluid lines, more typical of ink drawings." In his small etching of "A Woman", Joe achieves this goal. Joe especially wants to teach art. "I really want to help kids develop a capacity for aesthe- tic experience...to develop a positive attitude towards aesthetic enterprise...for kids to be intelligent observers who won't grow up to say - that 's beautiful because I recognize it." He hopes to be hired soon as an itinerant art teach- er for primary students. For those interested in a portrait by Joe, he can be contacted through Mrs. Furmanczyk, 728- 4959. He draws children and adults.

The Ottawa Historical Society meets Fri. Feb. 29 at 2 p.m. Mr. Phet, Somsanook and Mrs. Thou Phamisith at their new Glebe home. A Laotian Family Begins a New Life By Susan Annis Phet, Thou and six year old Tou Phamisith stepped off the bus into a cold Canadian winter afternoon on December 14, 1979. Although the climate was not welcoming or particularly hospitable, warm hearts were waiting for them at the depot, to help them through the phenomenal trans ition they are experiencing. Language and faces were totally foreign; their families, friends and roots were thousands of miles and many time -:!ones away--all that was familiar was behind them, and the voyage that had begun with a swim across the Mekong River over a year ago, to find safety in a teeming refugee camp in Thailand, was ending. The Phamisith family, sponsored by the Glebe Neighbourhood Sponsor- ship Group, have had the very good fortune of being offered lodging with Decked out in feathers and with her pet a family in the Glebe for their first few months in Canada. They were canary along Joyce Kirby is one of the talented thus, immediately upon their arrival, swirled up in the bustle of the performers in Plus Six In Song. Christmas season--a fête quite alien to them. They were treated to everything from Santa Claus and stockings and turkey dinner, to New Year's Day celebrations. (We can only wait now until their English improves to find out what they thought of it all!) The Phamisith family had no knowledge of either English or French when they arrived in Canada. As the Laotian community in Ottawa is small--and the number of individuals who could serve as interpreters only a fraction of that--the logistics of the simplest communications were difficult at the start. Nonetheless, it is always surprising and gratifying to find out how much indeed can be exchanged without words. Tou is now attending a special class for new immigrant children at Connaught; and Thou and Phet (who has attacked his English vocabulary with a vengeance!) are at High School of Commerce ESL courses. Phet has already been moved up a level. They have quickly become expert users of their OC Transpo passes, and do not hesitate to travel by bus to a supermarket which has ad- vertised good buys in a local Wednesday paper!

RECIPES FOR GERMAN DISHES Travels in Germany have impressed us with the richness and variety of German cuisine. German food is not heavy or stodgy and includes an im- mense diversity of different dishes to try. The quality is very high. German cooked meats and sausages, for instance, are one hundred per cent meat, with no colouring, cereals or other additives. This strict atten- tion to quality is true of all German food. To anyone trying German food and drink for the first time, I say "Gut essen, gut trinken." Sauerkraut Mit Ananas (Pineapple) Sauerkraut is the national dish of Germany. However, my Irish grand- father made it in quantity and stored it in barrels for his large family as did many others in pioneer days in Canada. Along with pickles of all kinds sauerkraut was important as a major method of food preservation. Sauerkraut - acid cabbage - results from a curing process in which many bacteria appear on the cut edges of the cabbage. The added salt draws out the natural sugar stored in the vegetable. Some of the present bac- teria act upon the sugar, changing it to acids, thus resulting in the mellowing of the cabbage. Reminder In this recipe the distinctive sour flavour of the sauerkraut is com- bined with the sweetness of grapes and fresh pineapple. Housing In Your Neighbourhood Capital Ward Public Meeting 1 lb. 4 oz. tin German sauerkraut (or your own*) Tuesday, February 19 dry wine Mutchmor P.S. 3/4 pint white 7:30 p.m. 1/2 lb. seedless green grapes 2 small fresh pineapples 1 red apple

Drain the sauerkraut. Pour wine into a saucepan and boil over a high heat until reduced by half. Add the sauerkraut and cook for several minutes, separating the strands with a fork. Reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, until most of the wine has been absorbed. Cut the pineapple into 1 inch cubes. Stir into the sauerkraut with the grapes, and cook gently until heated through. Strain the mixture and pile into the pineapple shells if desired. Decorate with a few grapes and slices of apple.

* If you would like to make your own sauerkraut try the recipe in ALL ABOUT PICKLING, Canadian edition, Ortho Books. Rinderrouladen 4 thin slices of topside beef German mustard Salt and fresh-ground black pepper 2 oz. smoked streaky bacon (or German Speck if available), diced 2 oz. peeled, chopped onions SPRING 2 oz. fat (or 2 tablespoons cooking oil) 1 pint water 1 packet of dried Steinpilze mushrooms (caps), soaked overnight

FASHIONS Beat meat lightly, brush with mustard, season with salt and pepper. Mix together bacon and onions and spread mixture on to meat. Starting ARRIVING at the narrow end, roll up the slices of meat and secure with a skewer or cotton. Heat the fat and brown the beef rolls well. Bring half the water to DAILY the boil and add to the beef. Braise gently for two hours or until ten- der, making up any water lost during cooking time. Add soaked Stein- pilze half an hour before the end of cooking time. The remaining liquid round the meat should be used as gravy and can be thickened before ser- ving if wished. Correct the seasoning. Serve with potato dumplings and salsify. (When fresh salsify is not iCiroSistps available, you can substitute the German tinned variety which is a good quality young salsify.)
