REQUEST FOR COMMUNITY OPINION In 2013, the Ottawa Carleton Board of Education closed the boarded hockey rink at Mutchmor to facilitate construction of the school addition. The OCDSB has now agreed to return the rink to Mutchmor; however, the rink (see Option 2 on the graphic) will be 30 per cent shorter than the original (Option 1). A group of residents has been pushing for the return of the rink for some time and is interested in your opinion as to what further action, if any, should be taken. As this group wishes to represent and takes its direction from the community at large, it would be appreciated if you would take the time to contact Richard Webb at [email protected] to advise which of the following options you favour: Refrain from any further action; Continue to press for return of the original rink; Wait until the end of the first year of operation to determine if further action is warranted; or Wait until the end of the first year of operation to determine if further action is warranted only if the OCDSB commits to reviewing the situation – with the possible return of the original rink – at the end of the season. Please also advise if you wish to receive information on future developments. Your name and contact details will be kept private and confidential. Thank you for your assistance.

REMEMBERING Glebe Report November 8, 2019 13 Uncle Jack

By Don Westwood

Uncle Jack was the husband of my mother’s sister Floss. They met in the 1920s when my Auntie Floss was working at the Model Laundry in Watford, England, and Uncle Jack drove the delivery lorry (truck) there. They never had any children and lived a quiet life, devoted to each other, and they were a wonderful uncle and aunt to me and later to my brother. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Uncle Jack was called up into the army. He was sent to Egypt to drive in the convoys taking munitions to the front, a hazardous task. It was WESTWOOD OF D. COURTESY PHOTO: at the siege of Tobruk in June 1942 that Uncle Jack’s fate was sealed. The Eighth Army, to which his regiment The Royal Army Service Corps was attached, lost 50,000 men – 15,000 were killed or wounded, the other 35,000 were taken prisoner. Uncle Uncle Jack (the man on the far right) and his mate Tom (to his left) in Italy saying their farewells at the end of the war to the Jack was listed by the War Office as Daughters of Charity, who had sheltered them from the Nazis, before heading home to England. missing, but not necessarily dead.

Tone Cluster and Studio 507 are partnering to present an evening of art and music at Centretown United Church on November 23. Joseph Danis is one of about a dozen community artists who regularly paint at Studio 507. It’s a Wednesday afternoon and he is at his easel in Studio 507 adding splashes of colour to his whimsical painting of skaters dancing across the Rideau Canal on a wintry afternoon. Some of his paintings have been exhibited in local galleries. The studio welcomes community artists who want to connect with the artistic community. It provides the materials – canvasses, paint, brushes and easels – and encouragement and guidance from professional artists who volunteer as mentors. Par- ticipants find a friendly space to be themselves and to strive for artistic excellence. The studio is a joint program of Centretown United Church and Centre 507, a community drop-in located on the 2nd floor of the church at Bank St. and Argyle. The studio operates every second Wednesday of the month and periodically offers workshops on various painting and mixed-media topics. Tone Cluster choir is a 35-person auditioned choir offering a queer-positive environment where singers can be themselves while striving for choral excellence. The choir is performing “Quiet No More: A Choral Celebration of Stonewall” which commemor- ates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising in New York. It all takes place on November 23 at Centretown United Church, 507 Bank St. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert begins at 7:30. Following the concert, at approximately 9 p.m., the audience is invited to a reception and art exhibit featuring the works of Stu- dio 507 artists. Audience members can enjoy snacks and mingle with the singers and artists. Paintings and art cards will be available for sale. Concert tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door and can be bought online at tonecluster.org. For more information on Studio 507 please visit centretownunited.org.

Tahara demonstrated This process of cleansing and ritually purifying the body is respectful and provides an opportunity to pray over the deceased one.” Maranta wants to share this ritual practice because she says our society has a stigma around conversations about death. “Up until about 100 or 120 years ago, all of these life rituals took place in the home or were centred in the community,” says Maranta. “With industrialization and urbanization, many of these various life rituals like birth, illness and death have been moved into institutions. This separates them from our everyday life.” Maranta says that the removal of these conversations from society has made us reluctant to talk about death. “So many of the rituals that take place around death are shrouded in mystery,” she says. “We often don’t have a chance, until we are confronted with a death of a loved one or even our impending death, to know what the different possibilities are.” Judith Wouk says Tahara is a spiritually-fulfilling ritual practice.

“I think it’s really important for spiritual development to WILLISCRAFT SARAH PHOTO: think about the process of life,” says Wouk. “The people that At a Community Deathcare Expo on October 19, Glebe residents Anna Maranta and Judith Wouk shared do this have a very great spiritual satisfaction.
