The Old Spaghetti Factory: Bravo B readed Scallops lb. $479 Salmon (frozen) lb. $2.99 Question: How can you fill two bottornless pits for $6.90 plus tax? Answer: Take two teenagers to the Old Spaghetti Factory. Oysters oz. $2.59 Old Factory at 126 York Street is a large, bright and lively place divided into The Spaghetti MERR Y CHRISTMAS TO ALL several rooms and one streetcar and decorated with stained glass and assorted 'junque'. The staff is young and energetic which probably explains why the service is prompt and cheerful. Our waiter was efficient and had a sense of humour - a good combination. Best of all there is a choice of eleven complete dinners (main dish, salad, loaf of bread, spumoni ice cream, coffee or tea) priced from $2. 65.to $4.95. Two costlier dinners (veal at $5.25 and steak at $7.45), a child's qtebe portion of spaghetti ($1.95) and a large salad bowl ($.95) round out the menu. Spaghetti main attraction 827 BANK ST. 238-1951 Spaghetti, the main attraction, comes with meat balls or a variety of sauces: tomato, butter and cheese, mushroom, clam, meat. The wine list has three reliable reds: Szekszardi ($5.95 for 35 ounces), Valpolicella ($6. 50) and Mouton Cadet ($10.25); the other reds include something called "Spaghetti Duck" ($5. 25)- clearly Introducing one to avoid at any cost. The imported house red ($1.10 per glass) was thin in flavour and no match for the spaghetti. Imported beer is $1.40 and there is a short list of white, sparkling, and rose wines. Our meal got off to a good start with a loaf of warm crusty brown bread accompanied by plain and Mr. Rams garlic butter. Part way through dinner we a were offered second loaf and it disappeared as quickly the new owner of as the first. Then came the salad (sigh!) - clumps of iceberg lettuce garnished with four tiny carrot shavings. I know that fresh vegetables are expensive and that restaurants are trying to cut costs. But isrit it possible to add a few leaves of spinach or romaine lettuce or Chinese cabbage just to vary the monotonous taste and appearanc e of the old standard? In the Factory's favour the amount of salad CAMEO dressing was just right; it did not swamp the lettuce. On the other hand it had a thin flavour, tasting as if it had been watered down. On the main courses ($3.45 each): spaghetti with rich meat sauce and spaghetti with spicy meat BEAUTY SALON sauce. The spaghetti was flavourful with enough 'chew' to indicate that it had been cooked just about perfect ly. The Old Spaghetti Factory scored better on its spaghetti than some restaurants where 969 BRONSON AVE. (COL. BY TOWERS) the presence of Italian owners, maitre d', waiters and cooks do not prevent the serving of soft, soggy TEL. 237-0405 and tasteless pasta. Each meat sauce was a generous serving with a delicious and robust flavour. A shaker of bland tasting cheese accompanied the spaghetti. OUR NEW WORKING HOURS For dessert we tried spurnoni, vanilla ice cream, and apple pie a la mode, coffee and tea. The hot Mon-Wed. 9:00 A.M.-5.00 P.M. apple pie was acceptable and the ice cream went down nice and easy after the main course. Thurs. & Fri. 9:00 A.M.-7:00 P.M. Sat. 9:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M.

Ideal for kids Mr. Hans and his expert staff are at your The Old Spaghetti Factory is ideal for dining out with kids of all ages. There is enough hum and service at the Cameo Beauty Salon and chatter so that young children's voices do not intrude on others as in, "Mommy, see that funny-Iooking welcome your patronage. man over there?" The background music is just obtrusive enough to provide older kids an opportunity for music appreciation, as in "Isn't that the Bee Gees?" "No, you turkey, they don't_sing hard rock, A very Merry Christmas and a Happy it's Wings" "Wings aren't hard rock, man; you're thinking of the Stones." "Maybe it's Boston." Parent: "Let me tell you about rock and roll." New Year to all our patrons. Nutritionally, it was an unbalanced meal- good protein, good carbohydrates, but little or no vitamin and minerals. Our desserts and drinks unbalanced it even further. But it's hard to beat the Old Spaghetti Factory for goal spaghetti at reasonable prices. Our three complete din_ners plus glass of wine, pie and tax came to $13.11. One word of advice: the restaurant does not take reservations except for large groups so it is a good idea to go a bit early,, especially on weekends.

Since the end of June, Diane Munier- a Glebe resident- has filled every spare minute reading, researching, writing, co-directing and editing, editing, editing. The focus of all this extra- curricular activity is Ottawa's oldest Protestant church. On October 13th, 1828, St. Andrew's (still at its original site on Kent at Wellington) opened for business. George IV was on the throne of England - Queen Victoria was only 10 years old and Sir John A ,just 13. Ottawa - muddy, drunken, rough Bytown- had been established barely two years earlier with the coming of Colonel By and his Royal Engineers. To celebrate these 150 years, Diane and her co-editor, Enid Pottinger, elected to mark the occasion Twentieth century style. "We approached Ottawa Cablevision and, completely innocent of the incredible amount of work involved, asked them to help us produce a videotape telling the story of St. Andrew's - its founding, it survival, its people." Diane goes on to point out that "we are such an anachronism - a Gothic stone church set down in the middle of secular glass, steel and bureaucra.cy. We wanted the tape to reflect some of our tenacity, sorne of our contributions to the downtown community and some of our spirit of survival. "

St. Andrew's and the Glebe

St. Andrew's has been connected with the Glebe for nearly all of these 150 years. Anyone who has studied Canadian history will remember the controversial "clergy reserves" - those grants of land set St. Andrew's Church, Wellington and Kent Streets aside by the government "for the support and benefit of the Protestant Clergy. " In Scottish Presbyterian terms, this grant of land was the minister's 'glebe'. Ministers were desperately underpaid, and revenue from their glebes enables them to live, if not richly, at least adequately. In 1835, St. Andrew's applied for and received its own 'glebe' - a plot of land running from Bronson to Main Avenue and from Glebe Avenue to Fifth. The terms of the grant stipulated that land required for canal purposes could not be used by the clergy, nor could any land "at present under BOOKS MAKE GREAT water." During the Nineteenth century, St. Andrew 's bought, sold and rented property, took back mortgages and made loans to Ottawa residents. The Church today, though, has sold off all of its CHRISTMAS GIFTS Glebe properties. Some of the Glebe churches that St. Andrew's helped establish (spiritually and financially) were Glebe-St. James, St. Giles and MacLeod-Stewarton. Also helped were the founders of the Ottawa Ladies College (now the Ottawa Board of Education Building at the corner of First and Lyon). Even Hey Dad! Brian Doyle John Younghusband, builder of so many Glebe houses, borrowed money from St. Andrew's.

Up in the Tree, Margaret Atwood Harrowsmith Reader Lights, camera, action

Ourselves & Our Children, Boston Women's "For a couple of amateurs I think we did well! ," says Diane. "Would we do it again? Not tomorrow! We went from crisis to crisis. The skies opened when we needed sunshine; when we needed a cloudy Health Collective day, the sun shone." There was the time too, when th e Sanctuary sank into darkness as the camera light blew every fuse in the place. When they were taping a communion service, the elders couldn't find their way to the front of the church because of the glare of lights. "When we went to tape in the Nursery, every child in the place, as if on cue, began to whirnper, cry and howl. People froze in front Undecided? Give a Gift CertifiCate of the camera or else mugged umercifully. Angelic children picked their noses and usually outgoing children cowered behind chairs. The equipment broke down exactly two minutes before a guest speaker's appearance and the minister forgot his collar the day we came to tape his sermon. But- in spite of every setback, Ottawa Caklevision came through with physical support, advice and ideas. We couldn't have Octbpus done it without them. " Books

Twenty three pictures in acrylic and water colour were realistic representations of life and scenery in the high ar Wild life enthusiasts would particularly appreciate the skill in which the artist seeks out minute details. Tiny individual hairs on the inside of ears, a glowing orange eye and the black patch on the tail of an arctic wolf are faithfully reproduced. Two polar bears appear small and stark against barren land and rocks on Southampton Island. The heavy matted coat of muskox almost brushes windswept tundra as it grazes.

Other landscapes of melting ice, rocks and icebergs gave so,ne idea of the grandeur, magnitude and space in unemotional factual terms, in views of Greenland and Cairn Creswell Bay, and would reproduce suitably as post cards. There was a conspicuous absence of birds, one of Brenda's strongest subjects seen in a previous exhibition by her at the Den-Art Gallery. Instead, there were rather awkward figures of walrus hunter s in a boat on a choppy sea, and two Inuit men unloading the "komatic" on Belcher Island. Here again some detaiLs were remarkable; the zip on a snow jacket was carefully painted, but the mens faces were wooden and lifeless.

Last month we featured an interview with Hazel Mackenzie the Co- ordinator of the Glebe IGA SE Recycling Depot for tin and glass. This month, we concentrate on the volunteers who keep the depot running. Now*, Question: How many volunteers do you need to run the Depot? Answer: Technically only 7- one for each day of the week. But we need many more to volunteer so that one need only commit oneself to a short time. As I mentioned last month, volunteers are to work only for 2- 3 months, but often it is much longer because we have no reserves. no sl-c ff supposed Some dedicated volunteers Still Puzzled About Question: What sort of person volunteers? Answer: The ages range from 80 to 15 years! We have teachers, housewives, retired people, and Christmas Gifts? a student.

And, I can replace them which is the situation right now. of course, we'd be pleased to make up cheese Question: How do you get volunteers? trays for your party at home of office. Answer: Partly through the GLEBE REPORT advertising which is free. Mrs. Enid Kirkhope of Findlay Avenue volunteered after reading about us. Also, I have met prospective volunteers at the depot For your added convenience, we will be open when I have been working there. Mrs. Edna Halliwell of Madawaska Avenue saw me there and decided December 18-23 until 9:00 p.m. she could take a turn. She has now rettuned to us after a few months' absence. Sometimes a person has phonel me about recycling and ended up volunteering; Mrs. Margaret Jaekl of Glebe Avenue 732 Bank/236-6977 did that and I hope she didn't regret phoning me! She and her son Christopher, then about 4 years (between 1st and 2nci Avenues in the Glebe) old, went every Tuesday after school to the depot to work. Municipal parking lot behind the IGA. Organizing the depot Question: Are there ways in which the Glebe Depot organization could be changed to get more people actively involved? OWN Answer: Definitely! A new co- ordinator for a start. Perhaps the committee systemwould work better. Ilf I have never had enough time to organize and the us meetings, volunteers we have working for have not seemed to need them. But there are always ways to improve the system. After 2 years as co- ordinator I am ready to retire to make way for more energetic people. CHE ESE SHOP Question: Is co- ordinating the depot onerous work? Answer: NO, it's very easy. Volunteers must find their own replacement if they are unable to go to the depot on their day. I keep the records of glass and tin weights phoned to me by the Rideau Yard foreman each week. I am available to all who want information about the depot ensure that there is a volunteer for each day of the week, and circulate a roster to each volunteer to keep them informed. recycle your cans & glass 47 tons ... and what do you get?

Skateboarding is fast becoming a sophisticated sport and the Glebe now has its own custom skateboard shop. RADICAL MOVES at Fifth and Bank is the brainchild of David Scanlon, a young Glebe Collegiate graduate, whose love of sports and the accoutrements thereof, has led him to make this unusual career choice. Although winter isn't a season we usually associate with skateboarding, Dave wants to be well established in the community by the time the first piece of pavement appears in the spring. Meanwhile, he is also selling racquets for squash, tennis and racquetball. Chuck Mohapel and Donald McDiarm id, both racquet stringers with many years of experience, are on hand to restore and repair racquets. "Sometimes a new grip is all that's needed to make a racquet feel like new again, " says RADICAL MOVES owner. The greater part of Dave's stock is in skateboards, wheels, axels and safety padding, however. "We're pushing for a skateboard park in Ottawa, where the sport could develop safely, as it has in California," says Dave. "It has enorrnous potential, if we could just interest someone in building the necessary bowls and ramps." Meanwhile the kids will continue to skateboard on streets, parking lots and playgrounds and RADICAL DAVID SCANLON at his new skateboard shop, RADICAL MOVES MOVES has the padding to make the sport as safe as possible, under the circurnstances.

We have tried to keep necessary services, such as the After Four program, functioning. As a result, the GNAG's visibility is lower than usual. Nonetheless, much good work continues to be accomplished. Special kudos are due to Patricia Mercer, GNAG Co- ordinator of Children's Programs, for the excellent job she continues to do with keeping the After Four program, P.D. Day programs and children's Saturday Workshops flotuishing; to our Centre staff Lyn Davies and Ellen Wallace for keeping things afloat in a difficult period and to Doris Ashiq and Ann Anderson for coordinating a highly successful craft fair in November. This period allows us some breathing space to look into certain aspects of commimity programming, and how it can be improved. George Wright is currently evaluating the GNAG's current appraoch to Cinnamon and spice, and offering subsidies where necessary (a basic policy is that no one is excluded from programs because of all that is nice lack of finances) . Please contact George directly (233-6982) with your comments as he will be bringing recommendations before the GNAG executive.

Cassia is sometimes called "false cin- namon'" and the bark is coarser and thicker than true cinnamon also the flavor is not as delicate. Both Cinnamon and cassia are important spices today, in ground form they are used in cakes, honey buns, and pies. Stick cinnomon is especially popular in making spiced cider and brewing hot chocolate. In the ninth century cooks at a monestary in Switzerland used cinnamon , pepper, and cloves to season fish. Hippocrates, the famous ancient doctor, valued cinnamon for its medicinal uses. Broken cinnamon pieces added to pep- permint tea is helpful in relaxing a tense stomach. The word clove comes from the French clou, meaning nail. The first references to cloves are found in the third century in China. In France cloves and onions are basic ingredients for soup stock. Indiaias use cloves to flavour the betel nut chewed by millions. Whole cloves may also be used for syrups, gravies, punch and pickling, while ground cloves are popular in baked goods and fruitcakes. Clove oil is used not only in cosrnetics, but also for remedial purposes. It is an aid for foui gas in the stomach, helps digestion , has antiseptic action and relieves a toothache. A few drops of oil in water will stop vomiting and clove tea will relleve nausea. Eating cloves is said to be an aphrodisiac. Allspice, (pimento officirnalis) is the berry of the pimento, CHRISTMAS HOURS an evergreen tree.

Allspice berries are used both whole and ground in broths, gravies and for pickling. Ground allspice is delicious in desserts and with most yellow vegetables. It is also an impor- tant ingredient in Benedictine and Chartreuse liqueur. Oil of allspice is said to have some anesthetic effect, a plaster from the spice helps in rheumatism and neuralgia. Allspice water and oil are also useful in cases of flatulence. Nutrneg and Mace (Myristica fragrans Houtt) both come from the same tropical evergreen tree. The shell contains the mace which is detached from it and bright red, but turning to an orange colour when dried. The brown oval kernel is the nutmeg.. In small quantities nutrneg acts on the stomach to improve appetite and digestion, but it should be eaten sparingly because it contains an oil that can produce stomach pain, delirium and (helping the Glebe ) other symtoms of poisoning. The flavour of both nutmeg and mace is sweet, fragrant, and spicy. Nutmeg tends to be sweeter in aroma than mace and is used in cookies, eggnog, jam and OTTAWA COMMUNITY puddings.
