It is all too easy to be scared off by talk of Committees and Boards and Associations and City Hall, by all the legal jargon, and by the apparent intricacies of the various "issues" batted around by all these groups.

Everyone's participation is of the utmost importance. We receive no government grants or subsidies of any kind. One should avoid being "scared off". And, as the Rosebery decision points out, there is really Advertising from Glebe merchants pays our bills and no reason to be frightened: people spoke and and City Hall didt, bite. The Rosebery decision printing costs. 5200 copies delivered to Glebe homes is yet another example of survival of a "government by the governed" doctrine. The people that would have been most affected by a change in a law voiced their opinions about it, and were heard. SUMMER EDITOR: Alfred Holden, 83 Renfrew Ave 235- 2139 I do not, however, extend any congratulations to the person who opposed the Rosebery Avenue residents' application for a downzoning. By doing so he forced an Ontario Municipal Board ASSISTANT EDITOR: Edmond Hum, 35 Renfrew Ave 235- 289.7 hearing into the matter (which is fine), but then he failed to even show up at the hearing (which means the hearing was an unecessary rip-off on the tax payer). In the future, I hope such people will be required to pay back the government for it's expense. It is appalling that this ADVERTISINC ASSISTANT: Pat Hart, 235-1348 businessman should force such a hearing and fail to participate in it.

SERVING THE GLEBE AND GREATER OTTAWA page 4 Nostalgia: Gordon McKeen remembers

by Jeanne Ward

Besides the trolley cars and horse- drawn cabbies of the early nineteen hundreds, some of the oldest residents of the Glebe were serving the community as well. Gordon McKeen and his father started a small grocery store on Cleary Avenue and Bank Street way back in 1905. They made light delivery to customers, harnessing the horses frorn the stables behind the store. Today McKeen still half- owns the IGA on Bank St. and lives on First Ave. "I've lived in the Glebe for over 65 years. " says Gordon McKeen looking spry arid affable. Where did the narne 'Glebe' originate? McKeen remembers. "Glebe cornes from the name 'church lands'. You see, St. Andrews church on Wellington St. used to own all this land. It was mostly bush then but the oldest built up area of the Glebe stems from Isabella St. to Centre St. (Now Holrnwood Ave. ) and from the dr iveway to Lyon St." Fifth Ave used to be called Mutchmor St. named after Mutehmor, a wealthy man who owned and resided in a large estate-the Holiness Movement College. The College does not exist anymore, in it's place lies Brewers Retail! More readily remembered in McKeen'smind was the temporary use of Landsdowne Park by the "Princess Pats Infantry" around Above: Monkland Avenue, around 1920. Below: Corner of Bank and First 1914-18. Todays exhibition grounds were used for Barracks of the Avenue, around 1907. Building in picture is presently our Neighbourhood "Old Princess Louise Lagoon Guards".

Once in a while he smiles as he remembers the Saturday night dances at the old Rideau csi Canoe Club, wadding calmly at the end of Fifth Ave. and the Driveway. "There used to be a ferry boat, the 'Yuanica Yuan', It'd run from Canal St. uptown, all the way down the river as far as Kemptville where we'd stop and have picnics. And of course Sunday night there'd be a Bandstand at Landsdown, and we'd sing some of the old war songs: "Peggy O'Neil was a girl that could steal... Back at that tirne when little under half of Dow's Lake was swamp and Carling Ave. was a lumber yard of J. R. Booth, the slow-pace of commercial Glebe was a playground for any young man. Indeed McKeen rornped in the sand and wooden frame of Glebe Collegiate and saw the gradual steel begin- nings of St. James' dome. "Beside St. James Church was the area racetrack. I don't remember it well", admits McKeen, "It had it's beginnings way before my day." Yet McKeen does recall the large city built toboggan slide on the south side of the canal The same bushy area served as a good shelter for sldn swimming off ''Pig's Island" in summer.

Lansdowne Park: A collage of problems by Randal Martin Like the return of migrating geese, that annual time -marker, the "Ex" is now upon us. With it and the noise and inconvenience it brings, comes renewed interest in the future of Lansdowne, particularly among residents in the neighbouring communities. Progress in planning has been slow, but in the past year some important steps have been taken to give shape to future development. The Lansdowne Development Advisory Committee has become streamlined and a set of recommendations from the Committee have already been appro - ved by Board of Confrol and City Council. The effect of this decision, taken a little over two months ago, is to define the future of Lans - downe in terms of the main goal of maximizing beneficial use to the public within the constraints of the existing roadway system. Two alternative directions for Lansdowne wer( hus rejected. The Murray and Murray proposal, commissioned by the City and submitted in Jura 1972, was rejected as too detrimental to the I surrounding community.- - both from the point of view of expansion and destruction of housing, I I and the needed roadway additions. The second proposal rejected was one the main emphasis of \ which was to "develop its revenue raising potential to the maximum." \ ' The blueprint for the future, as recommended by the Committee and passed by Council states that there will be no future expansion of the Civic Centre or Staditun.

The plans will focus on buildings containing heated space but of highly utilitarian design, capable of swift conversion for such uses as participatory sports activities such as exist in the present Coliseum, Exhibition purposes, including trade, machinery and livestock, and year - round ice surface capacity. The same plans will seek to connect below -ground space with the Civic Centre Exhibition Hall level, for the purposes of extending the exhibition area, and to restaurant and centralized food preparation facilities on a concession basis on the ground floor level. Specific mention was also made of the need for meeting rooms for community use. There will be no increase in existing surface paved parking space, and no garage parking space will be constructed, accord- CPI ing to the recommendation endorsed by Council. Emphasis will be placed on the provision of public transit for those events attracting large crowds.

Since the time these recommendations were approved by Council, three new developrnents have taken place. First, agreement was reached by the Committee to locate the new Rough Rider practice field near the tennis courts and baseball Thursday, diamond. This location will allow for expansion to a field useable for soccer, and Alderman Joe Cassey has been actively September 15, 1977 seeking use of such space for the community.

Capital Ward is about to get a Neighbourhood Plan. The planning wil be jointly completed by the residents of the Ward and by the City of Ottawa Planning Staff working out of site offices located in the three neighbourhoods of Capital Ward: the Glebe (including Dow's Lake area), Ottawa South and Ot- tawa East. By way of introduction, my name is Jack Ferguson and I am the planner assigned to the Glebe. Our site office is now open (although you may have to climb over a few boxes fo get in) and is located at 195 First Avenue at Bank Street. If you're in the area, please drop in and see us. Stan Wilder will be working out of Hopewell School and David MacDonald at #70A Herridge Street on the Crttawa South and Ottawa East portions of the Study respectively. In addition, advertisements have been placed to hire a Commtwity Liason person whose job it will be to encourage public involvement in the Study and who will, in effect, be Capital Ward's representative at City Hall. The person, when hired, will work out of the Glebe Planning Office. Parked Cars Peeve this Paved- in Maple.

Each neighbourhood will be prod- ucing a plan similar in nature to the Dalhousie and Centretown plans completed just to the north of us, with the exception thai their three plans will be drawn together as part of a whole for Capital Ward. Easy as 1- 2 - 3 -4 Just how do we go about the process? Briefly, the following steps provide a general outline of the stages we will be encoun- tering over the next 18 months or so: Step 1: Finding out what are the existing conditions in the area, what trends have happened in the past and forrnulating a list of issues and concems derived not only from the interpretation of the raw data, but more importantly, from dialogue among people who live here and can relate the feelings and needs of the Glebe which statistics cannot do. This step would also include analyzing these issues to determine both city- wide and local implications. From this we would hopefully draft some initial goals and objectives that we would like to see realized by our plan. All of this would be packaged in a document and pres- ented to the members of the Ottawa Planning Board. Step 2: The second stage would involve a refinement of our goals and objectives and attempt to zero in on solutions and alternatives to achieve the study' goals and objectives (for example, HOW to stop through traffic on a particular street or or what programs are required to meet the recreational needs of our young people, etc. ) Special studies on transportation, heritage, recreation, etc. carried out in conjunction with Regional Planners, planning specialists and consultants would be included as well. Finally during this phase, an attempt would be made to suggest priorities in implementing the recommended LEkDED & SfAINED GLASS solutions and proposals. All this would be put down in the form Residential & Commercial Windows of a plan.

Step 4: Submitting the plan and by- laws to the City of Ottawa Ottawa, Ont, K1S 2C3 613.2342385 Planning Board and to City Council for approval. If all of that sounds confusing, I can well believe it, but in many cases all of us will be learning as we go along. The plan is not 'crested' by City Hall 'for' the people of the Glebe. Rather, the plan will be the result of hard work by the people living and working in the Glebe in conjunction with people frorn the Planning Branch (in this case myself and others with expertise in areas such as recreation and transportation) to set out the way in which the community would like to go in the next few years.

Now and tien something comes along that starts as a fad but refuses to disappear, and eventually grows into a sp opul- ar and recognized pastime.
