Last month, while Roger and I were sitting around congratulating ourselves on finishing another OSCAR (me for getting everything in the paper in spite of late arrivals and the usual last minute scramble for photos and Roger for getting the invoices out before mid-month), we thought of a way to get some response Jrom our readers.

There is a lot less traffic, more Nichols Humphreys, Richard Cazeau green space and a more residential/community atmosphere in Ottawa South.

Zone G: Triona Dalziel (coordinator), Gwenda Davies, The But, since it is only a 10-minute walk to the Glebe, Tubmans, The Dalziels, The Swinburnes, Chris Petrusic, this doesn't pose any real problem.

OSCAR November 1986 page 7 SHARON PLUMB: Having been involved in children's sports in Ottawa South for a number of years, I'd like to comment on varying rates of participation between Ottawa South and the Glebe. No doubt, some of this variation may reflect differing attitudes toward competition and community. Children from both areas compete together in minor sports organizations where boundaries generally encompass the Glebe, Ottawa South, and Centretown. Ottawa Centre Minor Hockey Association, playing out of \ Brewer Arena, draws most of its players from the immediate vicinity. Competitiveness is downplayed and house league competition has a distinctive neighbourhood flavour. Other team sports such as baseball arid soccer are similarly overrepresented by players from Ottawa South. In contrast, SMART Glebe youngsters participate more in individual sports such as skiing, speed skating, and track and field events. Can we deduce from this that the well defined geo- graphical boundaries of Ottawa South and its intense feel- SOLUTIONS ing of community produce better team players? Or are Glebe residents simply more rugged individualists? Some patting advice for coaches: Regardless of the geopgraphical distribution of players, never schedule a FROM game for March Break. A rite followed by both communities is the annual southward migration of any resident who can run, skate, or bounce a ball.

CHARLES de LINT: I don't really feel that I can contri- KEYLINK SYSTEMS bute to this column - mainly because I don't see any dif- ferences between Ottawa South and the Glebe.

In my opinion, • graphics design more open space distinguishes Ottawa South from the Glebe. • manuscripts and books • wordprocessing and graphs • advertising flyers WAYNE STANTON: Real urban centre dwellers eat pizza, • camera ready quality especially half-price ones. • quick results In Ottawa South people live; in the Glebe they reside.

The site plan control process is too subjective and lacks the control, authority, and community input afforded by a zoning bylaw. This issue is further compounded by the apparent ease of obtaining severance or approval for minor variance by the Committee of Adjustment. 6. The stated policy of enlarging existing housing stock is supported. However, planning must include consid- eration of impact on existing community services such as schools, recreational facilities, traffic, parking and related concerns. For these reasons, OSCA feels that prohibition of GBPs in Ottawa South is necessary with site-specific rezoning an option for special cases.

Belle jeunesse! Tantôt sage, tantôt exubérante! Toujours tendre...

Je m’entretenais récemment avec cinq jeunes gens qui fréquentent l’école Hopewell, située sur l’avenue du même nom. Avec la permission du directeur de l'école, Monsieur John Loucks, je suis allée les rencontrer et ils ont gentiment accepté de participer à une petite entre- vue . Tout notre entretien s'est déroulé en français, car ces jeunes sont tous inscrits au programme d'immersion. Ils se sont exprimés avec beaucoup d’aisance dans la langue seconde, ce qui m’a bien plu; d'ailleurs, l'école Hopewell attache une grande importance à la qualité de l'enseignement du français.

Je vous les présente: Sarah, Meagan, Lindsay, aux conflits. Les pays doivent aussi se montrer Julian et Stéphane.

M Par ailleurs, ils croient que l'argent consacré aux armements devrait être utilisé pour venir en aide aux pays du Tiers-Monde. Cet argent pourrait aussi servir a résoudre les problèmes liés à l'environnement comme la pollution et les pluies acides.

Leur message? Les gouvérnements doivent absolument écouter les jeunes, car même s'ils n'ont*pas le droit de voter, ils ont- beaucoup d'idées et des solutions originales à pro- poser pour résoudre les problèmes. Ils trouvent que les chefs de gouvernements ne réalisent pas leurs engagements et attendent toujours trop tard pour agir.

One must question whether the U.S. provides a good model for Canada to follow in developing tax reform propos- als. Certainly the U.S. economy is a complex one, and com- mercial practices closely parallel those in Canada. The result is that the corporate and business tax systems can and should be very similar. The argument breaks down somewhat when the system of individual taxation is considered, however. Some U.S. pre- ferences (such as mortgage interest deductibility) cannot be shed in the U.S. for obvious political reasons. However nice it would be for homeowners, such a preference has no place in Canada, in the face of Canadian social and politi- by JOHN P. MANLEY cal priorities.
