,, e b e Octoberreport 13, 2006 Vol. 36 No. 9 1 Serving community since 1973 FREE Light Rail Transit big topic at all-candidates meeting During the question and answer session, the audience asked questions about the Glebe traffic plan, the candi- dates' personal commitment to the Ward, densification, the wages of the councillors, and other traffic problems in the area. All candidates had an opportunity to answer the ques- tions, and all attempted to do so. The mayoral candidateswho attended the meeting, , , Piotr Anweiler, Jane Scharf, Barkley Pollock and Larry O'Brien, all had three minutes for their opening statements and to answer questions posed by the moderator, Anne Scotton. These included their posi- tion on the LRT, the future of the city centre, Smart Growth and property tax assessments. Bob Chiarelli spoke about his introduction of an om- budsman who condemned the present MPAC system for as- sessing property, and the need to finish the LRT job.

The school gym, which holds approximately 350 people, was not full for the councillors meeting; however, by the time the mayoral candidates took the stage it had filled to an estimated 75 per cent ca- pacity. The candidates for councillor were on stage first: Jay Nordenstrom, Ian Boyd, Clive Doucet and Sean Curran. Five questions were posed by the mod- eratorJan D'Arcy, regarding the Light Rail Transit (LRT), culture in the Cap- dal' Ward, property taxes, infrastructure and the issue of increasing traffic problems as the population rises. Each candidate had three minutes for his opening speech, during which he could address these questions. Ian Boyd spoke first. He is in favor of the LRT plan, is actively involved in the cultural life of the city and supports discussions with the province about property taxes. Jay Nordenstrom pointed out the low voting turnout of 28 per cent for Capital Ward in the last elections for councillor and stressed the im- portance of voting. He focussed on his background, working and living in Ot- tawa. Third to speak was Clive Doucet. He stated his support of the LRT and its Garden Angels ability to solve the transit problem and limit the expansion of arterial roads, The Glebe garden angels (and friends) have been busy planting tulip bulbs and also the need for community centres to be small, walk-to centres.

"It's gotten smaller over the years, so we're looking for new members," says Brown. Right now, the club is mainly made up of women, most of them widows. The ages range from 73 to 93. The club provides an outing for Ottawa sen- iors twice a week. It's especially beneficial to those who don't have many family members around. Roberta Brown says she's been lunching with the ladies for about 14 years. She notes she's met some good friends along the way. "You get out to see a lot of friends. It's nice to get out of the house. I really enjoy the company." Every Tuesday and Friday, the Glebe Centre van picks up each luncheon club member and heads to the grocery store, bingo hall, shopping mall, casi- no or movie theatre. And, of course, the trip also includes a meal out. There's room for about 14 people in the bus. Most days there are between six and a dozen members taking part. Elizabeth Parcher is with Abbotsford House. She says helping these women get out of the house and socialize as a group really lifts their spirits, especially in the winter months when they just don't get out very often. "For some people, it's difficult to get to Abbotsford. This club keeps mem- bers connected to the community", says Parcher. "Some find apartment living surprisingly isolated. This helps them associate with people they wouldn't normally associate with." Staff and volunteers from Abbotsford House pictured Ph°t°' Swam'Shan And Roberta Brown says she appreciates the attention from the volunteers with May Court representatives in front of the van supported by the May who help club members on the outings. "I'm visually impaired so, when we Court Club of Ottawa. go shopping, someone stays with me to help out while I find the things I re- ally need." About three volunteers accompany the members on each trip. Some of the women are a bit frail, but none have any cognitive disabilities. "The club adds Fast Free Home Evaluation Online quality of life for a small number of people. It makes a difference in people's Glebe Homeowners... lives," notes Parcher. Need Hels Sellin your Home?

LRT Big Topic cont'd from page 1 Piotr Anweiler spoke positively about the future of Ottawa and the need for Pottery Classes with planning in Smart Growth. Jane Scharf spoke strongly about her opinion that corporations have too much influence in City Hall and continued on that train of thought, not answering all of the questions. Barkley Pollock was positive Debra Ducharme about the future of the city centre, offering ideas to improve transit and ad- Established in 1979 dress homelessness. Larry O'Brien spoke of the importance of fiscal respon- sibility and real tax relief, saying that Ottawa had a spending, not revenue, problem. The questions from the audience were about immigration, affordable hous- ing, and the need for infrastructure renewal, among others. In general, Alex Munter and Bob Chiarelli had clear responses to each question, but Munter al- so took every chance possible to blame Chiarelli for problems in the city. Chiarelli responded by reminding the audience of Munter's past support. Jane Scharf answered most questions, but tended to return to her favoured subject of big corporations' influence on City Hall. Anweiler and Pollock both came across as genuinely passionate, however their responses often seemed to lack research or insight, although Pollock did repeat the innovative ideas he stated in his opening speech. Larry O'Brien was prepared for the questions asked, stating the ability of public-private partnerships to solve several prob- lems and his support for a "workable LRT." When an audience member asked a question in French, only Chiarelli and Munter responded in French.

This popular Glebe Neighbour- hood Activities Group (GNAG) fundraiser is now orchestrated by a committee of 12 people and involves many months of detailed plan- ning. In addition, over 60 volunteers give their time on the day of the tour to ensure security in the homes. Tour-goers were thrilled to see such a variety of architectural and decorating styles. Tea and cookies at the community centre proved a fun way to end of the tour. Special thanks to the homeowners who gra- ciously opened their doors for this event: Lynn and Brian Davies, Lorie Derraugh and Fred CasarramOna, Susan and Russell Freen, Monique Punt and Rob Smith, Pam and Jim Skippen, and Brenda Sprung and Russ Cluett. Thanks also to Louise Carota for her stunning ticket cover sketch, to The Pantry, and our sponsors C&M Textiles, Randall's, Loeb Glebe, Second Cup, Laser Zone, Bloomfields, Ottawa Kennedy Flower Shop and Select Roses.
