OTTAWA, DEC. 3, 1976 glebe report

Monday, Dec. 6 is Voting Day!

This year City Council is spending $7,000. to whornp up entht siasm for the municipal elections. They fear voters will be too tired, or too busy to brave December weather and make it to their neighbourhood poll. City Council's fears are not without forundation. Less than half the voters sh owed up in the lait municipal election two years ago, and this year a quiet campaign might make it worse. Why do local elections make people yawn? After all, your alderman/woman (alderperson?) is important to you. You can complain to hirn and he has to listen. You can pressure him into trying to make life better for you and the neighbourhood re: traffic, transportation, garbage, zoning, recreation, snow removal and taxes. If he annoys you, you can try to vote him out. All this should make your alderman an exciting person. Why isn't he? Look at the fun people had watching Ford and Carter battle it out for the U.S. elections. The next U. S. president won't throw snow on your lawn or put up your mill rate. When Rene Levesque squashed Bourassa, nobody yawned. But Mr. Levesque is not likely to give you good garbage service or worry about Lansdowne. Pierre and Joe and their power struggle fascinate us but neither of them will help you change the zoning or chase out a developer.

Virtually all the residents of Rosebery Avenue got together recently for a dinner party at the nearby Parthenon Restaurant. They were celebrating the success of their year-long campaign to prevent commercial spot rezoning of their street. The dinner was attended by about 60 per- sons including Alderman and Mrs. Lockhart and other friends of the Residents' Committee. Photos by Neville Reed. Page 2

Peter Zarkadas of Ottawa Page 3 Herbert Otto: "Store front" architect By Susan Annis You can't walk down many stzeets in the Glebe these days without seeing signs of renovation to older houses. The trend to suburban living has done an about face and now there is renewed interest in the city core. Devel,opers are taking over rundown houses and turning them into attractive homes. There are also many people buying old homes with a view to fixing them up themselves. These are the people who interest Herbert Otto- "store-front architect". A professional architect with a small Ottawa firm, Herbert Otto has developed a special interest in private projects to remodel old homes. His recent work with Heritage Ottawa and his interest in restoration work has led him to offer his services to home owners. When Heritage Ottawa offered a series of lectures last spring on maintaining and restoring old homes, Mr. Otto gave one of the talks. He was overwhelmed at the response to the series. From the questions people asked, he was sure that architects don't communicate well with the average homeowner. He feels most people don't "mow how to approach a professional architect. Yet this advice is necessary to anyone planning to renovate an old home. Herbert Otto's plan is to make this needed expertise accessible and affordable to the public. He compares his service to that of a family physician. He will worlc by appointment. He will conduct "house calls", make "diagnoses", and prescribe "remedies". As he is not trying to sell a product, he feels his advice will be unbiased and objective.

Hoping for a third win . . . Don Lockhart for Alderman

by Helen Gooderharn He's done it twice before and December 6 incumbent alderman Don Lcckhart hopes to do it again by talcing Capital Ward a third tirne. He's running, naturally, on his record. He says he feels sorry for the other three candidates who have so much to learn about the Glebe's corn- - munity groups and interests. The Glebe Report visited hirn at his home on Madawaska and found him busy answering constituents' calls. "509 of my work is with neighbour. to- neighbour difficulties, like messy garbage, laneway fights, noise, etc. Lockhact told us that he takes special interest in Bank Street. He's not in favour of widen- ing it to accommodate tomorrow's traffic. "Cost restraints would be enounous." He'd prefer exclusive bus lanes and more buses to make more efficient use of busy Bank Street. He is interested in the merchants' problems too and has spent a lot of time trying to revive the Glebe Businessman's Assoc. He warns, "they need to start planning now to be ready for the Glebe Neighbourhood Plan shaping up for January. Bank Street has great shopping potential and we should plan for it." Dennis Jabour of the Brass Ring will be President of the Glebe Business- man's Association, he said. As for the Exhibition at Lansdowne Park, he finds it an ear-sore and complained this year about the electronic racket. He favours a "toned-down use" of the Park generally and would like to curtail events involving thousands of people (and their cars, which is the problem). He doesn't wa nt a parking garage at Lansdowne. "It would solve nothing - buses are cheaper. " He would like all Civic Centre tickets printed with two bus tickets attached. Lockhart feels public transit is the answer to traffic congestion. On a visit to the farnous Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, he noticed there was lois of public transit and no parking at all. The Ex's future is a problem. "It's disruptive and should be moved to a better site. One year contracts with the Exhibition Association would be a good idea. The Ex is not relevant any more", Lockhart said. He would like to see a Mimi-Expo approach with exhibitions from Ottawa's many embassies. We asked him what his first priority would be if re-elected. "Definitely to get a commit ment from the Federal Government as to how and when they plan to de-centralise. Losing 5,000 jobs just like that is serious, and no city politician here knows what the Federal Govern- MERRY CHMTN1A2AVD ment will do next. They don't tell us. I read it in the newspapers like anyone else. Success- ive mayors have pleaded with them to be consulted on planning." "City politicians can't plan in a vacuum. It's a gut issue, directly affecting hew much tax A HAPPY ,VEW YEAR! we all pay. " He feels strongly that the Federal Governrnent must work closely with City Coun- cil to plan Ottawa's future. He wants no part of an unplaruied Ottawa. And he's quick to point out that he doesn't believe in restricting growth so much as "planning for growth. Bigger is not necessarily better", he feels. Lockhart lives with his wife and son David, a Glebe High School student, and he has a married daughter.

Joe Cassey for Alderman by Mamie Johns tone

In 1968, Joe Cassey went first into shock and then into municipal politics. He and his wife June had lived in their home on Cartier Street for only one month, then someone told him it was about to be expropriated to make way for a new bridge to replace the Pretoria. To protect residents from such shocking encroachments on their neighbourhood, the Centre Town Community Association was formed, with Cassey as a leading member. He was alderman for Wellington Ward 1972-74, and at the request of local citizens is run- ning for Alderman in Capital Ward this year. He feels his experience will be useful, as the twc communities have similar problems. Ever since 1968, Joe has been an active participant in cornmunity affairs. He has served on Community Associations, the Federation of Citizens° Associations, the Air and Water Pollu- tion Board, The Regional Housing Committee and the Youth Services Board. He believes that many area problems are caused by regional government's excessive con- cern with roads. "Most suburban.alderrnen vote as a block, with the attitude that downtown is just a place to work. Easy access is their only goal. Cassey regrets that the Queensway was allowed to split the city in two. He would oppose any plan that would intrude on the community. He would like to see Pretoria bridge rebuilt to original specifications when it has to be replaced in about 5 years. "There are only two bridges like it in the whole world." Opposed to the widening of Bank Street, he would, however, propose rush-hotr prohibition of parking on both sides to permit two lanes for buses. He wants the Glebe merchants to take an active role in improving the appearance of the street, with such additions as flower boxes, uniform signs, etc. If elected, he hopes to be appointed to the Central Canada Exhibition Association Board of Directors. He voted against expansion of the football stadium seating, and is opposed to any further expansion. A move to Rockcliffe Airbase or Carleton Raceway would permit the Exhi- Photo by Toby Sanger bition to expand; he feels it is dying in its present location. He hopes Lansdowne Park can be used more by the community in the future. Cassey, 49, was born and went to school in Port Arthur, Cassey sees Capital Ward as an ideal place for people to live; a place well supplied with now Thunder Bay. He studied at the University of Toronto for parks and recreation. He puts the implementation of the neighbourhood plan in a top priority one year, and in 1959 came to Ottawa. Joe is in sales and position for January. marketing for a distillery. He is not happy with the new snow removal policy, and wants better bus service in off hours. At home, Joe is lord of the kitchen, while June, his wife, He realizes the elm tree removal policy is inequitable (some residents benefitted from free re- is the gardener- in- chief.

by Sue Pike

After three unsuccessful attempts to be elected as alderman of Capital Ward, the question many people ask Leo Morency is why he wants tc run again. a voice in the wilderness, crying to be heard," says Mr. Morency. "I don't get dis- couraged. Even if I'm not elected, at least Pm being heard. Not connected to any political party, Mr. Morency feels that he has the freedom to vote as he sees fit. "What this city needs now is another Charlotte Whitton, a person with her personal integrity, a champion of the people. Leo Morency is focusing his campaign on a few issues. The most important, he feels, is the fate of Rideau Centre and the Confederation Square Underground Shopping Mall. "It is irnperative that our new council members do all in their power to obtain private industry and commercial investors to build and establish themselves in Ottawa, thereby revital- izing our much needed uptown core area." Reacting to a question about Lansdowne Park, Mr. Morency said he would be in favor of moving the Exhibition, but to leave the Civic Centre and Stadium. "We could build parking towers within the grounds to handle the car problem." And speaking of cars, Mr. Morency asks why the city forbids homeowners to park cars in their laneways for a fee, while allowing Bank Street merchants to sell parking space. If perrnits are needed, then private citizens should be able to obtain the same permits. Leo Morency feels it is important for the Alderman of Capital Ward to be concerned with the city as a whole. ".After all, we are all members of a team. " But, if elected, he pledges to maintain contact with the various associations in the Ward, and to try to reflect their concerns on City Council.

by Pat Davey. When I interviewed Thom Bennetton his role in the upcoming election he was confident of success. Although he 'occasionally slipped in the "if elected" phrase when prefacing remarks, he was always careful to correct it to "when elected". As the youngest (27) and least experienced of the three aldermanic candidates in Capital Ward Thom Bennett's confidence, some would say overconf idence , is a decided plus factor. He ran a strong second to Don Locichart in the 1974 elections and if campaign signs along Bank St. are any indication he has the support of a considerable segment of the business community. Thom Bennett talks easily, in a relaxed marner about his life. He comes, he tells me, from a long line of preachers,wesleyan Methodists, all great talkers, and it shows in his own "gift of the gab". With his attractive wife Susan and their 9 month old baby daughter Shannon, he lives in an apartment house on Fifth Ave. He was born and brought up in the Glebe and will tell you that he likes the community the way it is and doesn't want to see its essential character altered. "I could never be happy living in a big city" he says, and adds that provincial p olitics would never attract him as they did his older brother Claude because success in that field would mean spending a great deal of time away from Ottawa. Thom is very proud of his older brother's record and achievements. He worked for Claude Photo by in all of his election compaigns. Along with preaching there is a tradition of politics in Toby Sanger the Bennettfamily and when one of their number is running for office the others turn out in full force for them. Mrs.Bennett Sr. looks after son Claude's constituency office and is currently doing the same work in Thom's campaign. First snow Thom Bennet is running for alderman because he believes that people in Capital Ward are not satisfied with their present representation on City Council. He says that people have By Alfred Holden beentelephoningitim about such matters as slipping in the vicinity of the King's Daughters Home, dangerous sidewalks and inadequate slip-shod measures taken to control flooding Recollections of "first snow past" failed to haunt me that along the Rideau River. morning a week or so ago.

She is fascinated by the devel- opment and history of music DEWAR... in the medieval and renaiss- ance periods. "Early music" has had a return to popularity and we are again appreciating its delicacy and harmonies. A recorder group at Fisher Heights Public School was her first project. Now she teaches continuing edu- cation courses at Glebe, Wednesday night for adults; Saturday morning for the younger group. She also teaches a course in "Early Music" at Ottawa U.

by Penny Sanger photos by Shirley Post

Street scene in Soochow

Shirley Post, who lives on Powell Avenue, is just back from China. I sat through a snowy afternoon with her, looking at slides and hearing about the tIvee weeks she spent there learning about China's services for its children and young people - education, health, day care and so forth. It was the height of the succession struggle but she didn't hear much about that. How to get the experience of China across to Canadians? Avid as we are for news of that huge country and its incredible achievements, how do you make what you've seen real to your neighbour's, in their comfortable home s and busy lives? The one thing to understand, says Mrs. Post, is the bedrock commitment of all Chinese people to China and its future. "Their lives are filled up with commitment, the commitrnent to 'serve the people whole- heartedly'. The only thing I can relate it to is early Christianity. From her notes and talk some vignettes emerged, of lives so different from ours yet similar- ly centred in family and community. If you were a school child now in China, you and yourfriends would spend a total of two months over the year doing jobs in the community. Even very young children would help, at simple factory jobs perhaps. You might help out in your neighbourhood's communal kitchen, or learn a skill in a local manufacturing plant. You would take physical education and political training as well as regular classes every day and not always from trained teachers. Some of your teachers would be members of a rural commune, or the army perhaps. But your teachers would be responsible for many sides of your life; they would visit you at home to make sure that everything was going well and that (for example) you'd had your immunization shots. Your home would be small and you'd share it with your grandparents, most likely your father's parents. After you and your parents leave in the morning your grandmother would clean up the house , then go out to do exercises or visit with friends. She and your grandfather would also do community work - something like sweeping out public buildings perhaps. They would be mem- bers of studygroups on Mao's thought. They might eat at the neighbourhood kitchen (20 cents each, bring your own bowl and spoon) or buy food there or in a shop to prepare at home. Your mother might work in a local textile factory. (She is sure to work somewhere) As a woman she'holds up half the sky' as Chairman Mao said, so she will get the same pay as your father for the same work. But she can retire, at two-thirds of her annual wage, tea years earlier than he can, at 50 years. She gets 56 days maternity leave, and would have been puzzled if A family plays in a park in Nanking asked, as Shirley Post asked, what if she wanted to stay home and look after the baby. "Who would want to do that? But one side of Chinese community life will ring a bell with community types in the Glebe: Josie's Common-sense Column "There must be meetings every single night", Shirley Post said.

at Glebe Centre No 76 is an interesting house for several reasons. It is considered primary in heritage im- portance by the National Capital Commission; its architecture reflects the changing economy- of Ontario in the early 1900's; and it is probably the only house in the Glebe with four maple leaves carved into the bargeboards of its peaked roof. No, 76 is believed to have been built about 80 years ago since its address first appeared in the directory of 1896. Unlike many old houses in the Glebe, No 76's address did not change. Fourth Avenue addresses were not changed as frequently as those on older avenues, Fourth Avenue houses were regularily spaced so new ones were not placed between them. The squat shape and rectangular building plan on No, 76 is of special interest. An article in the Ottawa Evening Citizen (IViarch 2, 1929) " Facts about the Glebe in 1894", a James Ritchie commen,ted on housing in the Glebe during the 1890's. He recalled that houses were at first constructed as small frame structures with one room downstairs, three small bedrooms upstairs and a lean-to kitchen at the back. They were built according to this plan because they were heated by a small heating system - a box stove. Heating was expensive. After 1900 these houses acquired their present day appearance. From the original height of 1 stories they were raised to 2 or 21 stories. (Such houses have either peaked or flat roofs). They were extended into long rectangular buildings This expansion can be explained by the hot air furnace system which came into general use at the turn of the century By 1913 major Ontario cities had electric street cars. improvements to roads, brought about by the electric street cars,made the transportation of bulky materials like coal, less expensive. Thus coal, on which the hot air system depended , was introduced in greater quantities into suburban areas. Houses could now be built larger because it was no longer so expensive to circulate hot air.

GABRIEL DUMONT by George Woodcock. Hurtig Publishers, Edmonton $8.95. In this biography of Gabriel Dumont, the military leader of the 1885 Metis rebellion, George Woodcock raises a question which has intrigued many Canadians for sorne time. How and why*do we choose our heroes? "I have been fascinated by our attitude towards the two men (Riel and Dumont) which I think reveals a great deal about the view Canadians hold of themselves and their world. For ninety years now Riel has remained one of the perennially fascinating figures in Canadian history. But Gabriel Dumont has gone almost uncelebrated" How can this be when Dumont had all the trappings of the romantic hero- the kind that create a Davy Crockett. Supremely competent physically he lead the Metis hunters during all the last years of the great prairie buffalo hunts. Photos by 'Blue Glass Graphics' His marksmanship made him and his rifle 'Le Petit' famous throughout the west. He spoke six Indian languages - Cree Sarcee (his mother's people), Blackfoot, Sioux, Gros Ventres and Assiniboine The facility with languages together with his great courage, strength and skill made him a welcome guest in Indian camps across the plains. Woodcock underlines another of Dumont's attributes often overlooked by those who think only of the simple man of action. When the Saskatchewan teritory was virtually without law or order Dumont translaLed the rules and regulations of the annual buffalo hunt into a working governmental structure for the community of St. Laurent. No other community was able to so organize itself. Dumont was not without his following - at least in the west- and Woodcock admits the existence of numerous myths regarding Gabrieg legendary exploits. However, this biography includes only those facts which Woodcock felt were verifiable This penchant to separate fact from fiction may be fundamental to Canadians and their choice of hero. Much is known about Riel both pro and con. But few aspects of Gabriel D =ones life were accurately clvonicled. Even Woodcock's portrait of him is fuzzy. Dumont was illiterate and although he left some rem inisences, most of his story is told as a part of some one else's life. Dumont was of heroic stature and the life of the Metis before civilization crept west was certainly romantic. George Woodcock's biography brings this vital part of our history back into view. It may also have a special message for us today. English-French differences have perrneated our entire country and history - not merely the eastern portion so much in the news now. Gabriel Durnont's hatred for and mistrust of the English was profound but perhaps not unfounded. It is also a reassuring Canadian irony that he should be rescued from near oblivion by one of Canada's outstanding English speaking authors.

Glebe Memorial Park. A redeveloprnent plan for Glebe Memorial Park at the West end of Glendale is being circulated in the neighbourhood for final comments. Some of the present equipment will be re- located to make room for a proposed wading pool. A wooden clirnber is suggest ed to replace the present round- about, while junior swings will be needed. A picnic area is also planned and more trees are to be planted. Eventually, the skating rink and basketball backboards will be reassigned to the Chamberlain and Lyon Park. If you wish to see the proposed plan or make suggestions, please contact Sylvia Holden, Area Director, Glebe Community Association (235-2139) or Sheila Pepper, Department of Recreation and Parks ( 563-3337).

OMB Hearings on the Regional Plan The Federation of Citizen's Associations has received an LIP grant to aid them in presenting their objections to the Ontario Municipal Board at the hearings on the Regional Municipality of Ottawa -Carleton plan. These hearings will begin in February. The main thrust of the FCA's objections is the growth issue, in terms of nurnbers of residents living in a growth area, and where it will be located. They will also lend support to local groups dealing with such objections as transport- ation, preservation of agricultural land, etc. The new president of the FCA is George Strong, from Ottawa South.

Push-button light for Glashan children On Wednesday November 24th, Regional Council gave its final approval for a push-button light to be installed on Cham- berlain Ave. at Kent. Bernice Hamer and Sue Pike led the group of parents and concerned residents who had requested a pedes- trian device for the Glebe children attending Glashan. They had the support of the school principals and the Glebe Commun- ity association. The light should be installed in January or February.

Pretoria Bridge A Toronto firm is presently examining Pretoria Bridge and its engineers and consultants will make recommendations to Parks Canada, the branch of the Department of Indian Affairs responsible for the bridge. The Ottawa East Community Assoc,- iation has also cited the problem of the bridge and the threat of another bridge as one of its main concerns. The GCA is to be kept informed of any new developrnents. 11011DO natural foods
