OTTAWA, NOVEMBER 1977 glebe report

Queen Sparkles at First Avenue Housing Co-op

By Sandra Hawkins On October 20, 1977 a group of Glebe residents and would be residents came together to explore the possibility of form - ing a Glebe Non - profit Continuing Housing Co - operative. This responsible group of citizens are concerned that there be housing in the Glebe for a diversity of income groups. The Rehabilitation Housing Co- op would be based very much on the Dalhousie Housing Co - op experience which has proved to be quite successful. What is a Rehabilitation Continuing Non- Profit Housing Co- operative? A Continuing Housing Co - op is a group of people living in the community who come together and incorporate them - selves under the Provincial Non- profit Act. This is not to be confused with co- op housing where a group of people live co - operatively in one housing unit which may be rented from a private land lord. As a legal non- profit corporation the Continuing Housing Co- op is eligible for Central Mortgage and Housing assis - tance in buying and renovating housing units at below market costs. This allows that member residents of individual hous - ing units with-in the co - op pay monthly payments to co - ver only the costs of their particular unit which over a period of time is relatively lower than rising market values. A Re - hab. Co- op is one which buys deteriorating properties at a reasonable price and again with CMHC funding renovates the units to broader community standards. Continuing Non- profit Housing Co - operatives are an alternative to Public Housing and expensive private owner- ship. It is one which encourages community self - reliance for control over quality and price of living space. Membership is initially made up of both residents and non- residents of the co- op units. Homeowners and renters in the Glebe are invited to participate in the development of this community based endeavour. Residents of the Glebe Housing Co- op units ultirnately are expected to be respon- sible for the management, maintenance and education in- volved for the co- operative.

New principal for community school

by Martha Lemieux First Avenue Public School has recently acquired a new principal, Mr. Norman Wing. Mr. Wing's transfer from Pleasant Park Public School to First Avenue marks his second experience in a French Immersion - English stream school. Mr. Wing was born in Ottawa but grew up in Lyndhurst, a small rural town located in Leeds County. He attended the local public school where he received both his primary and secondary education. From there he went to Teacher's College and then into the profession itself. After becoming a seasoned teacher, he returned to Ottawa University to acquire his Bachelors and Master of Education on a part - tirne basis. He added the final touch to his academic training by following the principal's program at Queen' s University. Mr. Wing heartily supports community schools, a reflection no doubt of his happy days at school in Lyndhurst. He views them as "some touchstone to touch upon" in our highly complex society. The school for him is an integral part of the cornmunity and should act as a continuum in the life of the child. He embraces his new job in the spirit of "adjusting his philosophy to the philosophy of the community". 14e intends to pursue a worthwhile combination of the two. Area committees formed On Thursday, October 27, after years of waiting, and many meetings, the Glebe sect.on of the Capital Ward Neighbourhood Study finally got uriderway. At a well- attended general meeting at the Community Centre, residents approved with minor amendments a committee structure worked out by the planning staff from opinions expressed at earlier area meetings, then broke into five area groups to constitute their working committees. Area committee meetings, as well as interest committee meetings (transportation, commer- cial, land use, etc. ) are already scheduled. Please see the notice in this paper. All meetings, at all levels, are open, so make this your plan by noting on your calendar the next meeting planned for your area, as well as the interest committees which most concern Norman Wing, new principal at First Ave. School you, and be sure to attend, so that the Plan will reflect your needs and interests. by Joyce McCaffrey page 2 Illiteracy: Another

Page 4 "Jeff Morgan" Music teacher at Glashan Blue notes "Symphony in Blue for Pop Bottle and Kazoo" may well have to be the only music at some future Glashan band concert if we dont support City principals' recommendations to budget for instrumental music at the intermediate level. The Elementary and Intermediate Principals' Association met two weeks ago to address this problem. They agreed to request that an annual allowance of at least $4 per instrumental student be budgeted under the Programme Development portion of the Capital Funds Budget to begin January, 1978, or to expect the programme to fold. That's not very much money, considering that an annual allotment of $5.65 per home economics student and $8. 22 for each industrial arts student (that's metal arts and woodwork) is already allowed at junior highs. Why? Because these program- mes require special equipment with lirnited lifetimes and main- tenance requirements. Instruments are delicate machines which require regular ad- justment and maintenance with careful use under normal condi- tions with four students sharing most instruments at Glashan, the present stock of equipment is certainly well -used: On the cost side, the $1220 which would become available with this year's 320 students taking instruction (that's more than half the school!) would cover the cost of instrument repair and mainte - nance ONLY,.., not replacement, not music (much of which Jeff Morgan funds himself), not expansion.

The Glebe Community Association wholeheartedly endorses the efforts of the anirnators to encourage participation by all residents and groups in the ward, and in fact brought up the ne- cessity, as well as the difficulty, of doing so in all preliminary meetings with the planning staff. It is therefore rather puzzling to read that"the Capital Ward planning sessions are in danger of becoming a middle-class forum for middle- class values"- rather as if such input from residents is sornehow suspect or sinister! Could it be that the Citizen's reporter arrived on the scene with his bundle of prejudices and stereotypes, rather than an enquiring mind? However, my main concern is with the aLleged fear that the residents will "railroad through a plan infringing on the rights of the businessmen". The reporter obviously did not attend any of the preliminary area meetings, in which residents were asked to list three or four vrtt. gE A GREVF Day wIlEN cuR DAy cARE carrrRs things they liked about living in the Glebe, as well as three or four they disliked.

Apple mint, Indian mint, Corsican mint (which is used for making creme de menthe liqueur), horse mint spearmint are just a few. All of them possess the same properties and have been used since ancient times. It is the peppermint (Mentha piperita) that is valued for its aromatic flavor, and used in pharmaceutics and cosmetics.

QUILTS; QUILTING MATERIALS \227-8460 Page 9 Eleanor Milne, sculptor and designer WITH MONICA PINE

Eleanor Milne is a sculptor working for the Government. In her home on Powell Avenue she told me about the vvork she has done during the past 15 years, most of it in the Parliament Buildings. I followed up the information with a visit to 'The Hill' to see the stained glass windows and ceiling in the Chamber of the House of Commons, and the frieze in the lobby which Eleanor designed and worked on. As the autumn sunlight poured through the brilliant glowing colours, I found the windows breathtaktngly beautiful. They are 27 feet tall,made from thousands of pieces of glass, representing the Canadian Provinces in floral emblems. The richness of design and execution create a rare and exquisite visual experience. Miss Milne also supervised the restoration and modernising of the Charnber ceiling. Originally painted during the First World War, diamond shaped patterns incorporate the arms of the different provinces in muted colours, contrasting with the almost overpowering impact of the cathedral-like windows. Close by in the Lobby is a 120x4' limestone frieze relief carving. Done in neo-Gothic style in keeping with the character of the building, it is a philosophical allegory of Canadian history, representing ideas and results of actions. Here you see the original inhabitants of this land. scenes from life in peaoe and war, with trade, fishing, farrning, lumber, mining and a host of detailed sculpture. This major work was started in 1964 and took five years to complete. This summer Eleanor was responsible for refinishing the original desks in the House of Commons, (about 200 of them) and designing the speaker's console for the recently in- stalled T.V. All of this had to be done in time for the Queen's visit and opening of Parliament on October 18t h. Now she is working on a series of limestone carvings representing the salient points of the British North American Act. I went with her to the warehouse studio on Somerset Stree, to IE/e anor Milne see this work in progress, and met three of her assistant carvers.

Page John Conway: He left them laughing by Ediaond Hum "There's an old rule in show business," John Conway ,ays. "When you leave the stage, you leave the audience clapping away and wanting more -- and then you don't go back! Besides, I Iniew it was time to retire when mothers who had seen the show in their childhood started bring- ing their kids to see Chich in the publicity tours." Chich. That's how John Conway affectionately refers to his main puppet, Uncle Chichimus, who, along with Hollyhock, Slimey the frog and others, endeared themselves to the Canadian public through television, from the early moments of TV at the CBC in Toronto, to the (far, at CJOH- TV here in Ottawa. Conway worked with people like Norman Campbell and Norman Jewison, both of whom started their careers as directors of the Uncle Chichimus show, and enjoyed celebrity status dus'- big the height of the'show's popularity. He established an innovation in puppetry by brealing out of the puppet stage and having his puppets appear on ladder steps, fences and the like. AU the programmes were improvised around a certain theme, and in the early days done live. But Conway decided it was time to go in 1966, and left TV and puppetry to teach English, first at Champlain for three years and then at Glebe Collegiate.

Conway was born in Toronto, and was partly raised near Peterborough, where as a boy he developed puppetry as a hobby. At 15 he left home and never went back. He turned to travelling on the road and to various jobs for money. As a consequence, he didn't go to high school very much, but managed to enter the University of-Toronto for his B.A. in English. In his second year of university he left to become a navigator for the Air Force. He later returned and finished his studies, and became a University teacher of English at UBC. In 1946 he attended an amateur dramatic arts company run by Dora Mayor Moore which was also the training ground for Don Harron and Mayor Moore, Dora's son. It was this little pool of talent that soon became very involved in the CBC. Since nobody had had any experience with television, everybody was a potential candidate for work, and Dora Mayor Moore's proteges were immediately approached. Mayor Moore became TV programme director, and John Conway, because of his heavy in- volvement with puppets, was asked by the CBC to do a show. He chose a puppet that he had used before as an old king for a puppet production of"St. George and the Dragon", and renamed hirn Uncle Chichimus, "imus" coming from the Latin for 'good, better, best'. "I made Chich as a part- old man, part-baby sort of character with exotic pretensions," says Conway. Hollyhock was to be the female foil to Chich, and Pompey the naive juvenile character. "They were all stock characters, and their Jobs and ages changed depending on what wa: needed in a certain skit.

Conway rehearsed for six months before the cameramen, doing dry nins so that the technicians would get some practice with the new marvel of television. On SeptemLer 8th, at 7:15 pm in 1952, a 15 minute programme called "Let's See", serving as a preview for the night's entertainment, hit the airwaves in Toronto on CBLT. Percy Saltzman became the first person to be seen on Canadian television, doing the wea - ther mid- programme, and cavorting with Uncle Chichimus and the gang. The programme was an instant hit Sinclair changed mind At first Gordon Sinclair panned the show as beii ",:utesy", (in his column in the Toronto Star). He wondered in print what other bright ideas the CBC had in mind for its television programming. But eventually Sinclair changed his mind and became one of the most devoted fans of the Uncle Chichimus Show, which appeared week daysat 6:30. Sinclair was not alone in his devotion. Uncle Chichirnus became the 3rd highest rated programme in the country, beaten only by Sat- urday night hockey, and "The Big Revue", a Canadian variety show. Dozens of magazine and newspaper articles covered the success of John Conway and his puppets. And when Percy Saltzman moved to a new show ("Tabloid") he was replaced by Larry D. Mann, who was an accomplished Canadian actor. As the top-heavy bureaucracy grew in the CBC, its handling of its stars became notorious. "The CBC bureaucracy has al- ways wanted its stars under its thumb", says Conway while put- ting his thurnb on the table, squishing some imaginary bug. "It wants them all under its control. And every so often you'll get these waves of dissatisfaction against the CBC; people leav- ing for the States or going to the private stations." Page 11 Although Conway had offers to go to the states, he decided not to as he felt the characters of his puppets had roots in small town Ontario. Hollyhock was really a down -to-earth Ontario girl, Chich a quixotic old- timer. So he offered his talents Ernie Bushnell (vice -president of the CBC at that time) and Stu Griffiths (head of CBC English programming), who were one of many applicants for the lucrative Toronto private station. And although John Bassett (of Toronto Telegram fame) received the licence, Bushnell and Griffiths did get the licence for Ottawa, where CJOH -TV was established. Conway didn't mind moving to Ottawa. It had always been a good town for puppets; in pre -TV days Conway used to appear at Ogilvy's with his puppet show. But this time Conway was to specifically do a children's programme (the show was to air weekdays at four), and work around cartoons and commercials. He introduced Slimey, the frog, For the first time women were used to talk to the puppets, like Syd Patrick and Jean Price. 'And the show was a big hit. After 16 years of professional puppetry Conway felt trapped by his own success. Since every- one stereotyped him as a puppetrnaster, Conway could not do other things in show business that he wanted to do, lilce producing a television production of a ballet. He developed psychoso - matic backaches during shows, and was admittedly getting tired of puppetry. So on Oct. 1, 1966, John Conway did his final show and said goodbye to television and to puppetry. fe Doctor John'' Conway definitely wanted a change of careers, and having been a teacher years before, and having the qualifications, he went to work as an English teacher at Glebe Collegiate. In the English department he is affectionately lmown as "Doctor John", a nickname coined by fellow English teacher Bruce MacGregor. Conway says he likes Glebe, and approves of the unique English programme found there. "I won't touch it anyrnore", says Conway of his puppetry, "It ended as a hobby years ago". When asked why he and Uncle Chichimus have not been caught up in the nostalgia craze, Con- way expresses piuzlement. "I guess the kids who watched the show belong to a generation thaes been forgotten. " and his now?

And driven to his death by it. in love, who's a pervert Nureyev commendable who's Another (deliberate)obscurity was in guessing who was in love and who was just a pervert. Miss Big surprise is Rudolph Nureyev's commendable acting. Not Dunn was early thrown into doubt about love altogether, having several tirnes been spurned. only has he no Russian accent, but he has a good Italian accent! She is obviously full of love ,by nature, but there remains her fascination with one-night stands: He doesn't shift much from an expression of Sicilian bravado, temporary sex complete with insincere wails of 'I love you' in the heat of passion. but he does act the part convincingly. As mentioned, the Two men, both considered by her as only one night stands (relations have taken an odd twist character of Valentino was not examined too closelycertainly in her life), apparently love her but are unable to express it. Early on, she made her love (or not a part Which would require Max von Sydow or Al Pacino. perhaps her love for the idea of love) obvious, but it was rejected outright. But he does develop the confusion which evidently grew in the The real emotional turmoil this modern void between adamant definitions of love, sex, character from his rise to stardom to the disastrous boxing-match friendship, man, woman, etcerera, is not played up. The only look we get at the mental darkness for his honour and subsequent death. Miss Dunn was supposedly suffering was the drawing by her of a windswept, torrnented woman.

Kane (the wornan who introduces hm to film), is smooth and professionaL Again, the characters are pretty flat, not requiring smoothly directed great acting talent. A more technical fault-- one of the few, because technically the film was smoothly directed-- adept is the half- development of characters. Several characters are left unfinished, notably Amy, the direction young deaf-mute whom Miss Dunn 'loves' very much. By the final destruction of Dunn, all the Russell's direction is adept and professional. He makes clever characters given an initial development are left unfinished. little films. He keeps interest by constructing visual "loud noises" Again, it is technically a well- directed and well- written film, meaning that it is always to keep audience attention.

There isn't a whole lot of integrity in Russell's method of wa,ding off tedium. BO porno Perhaps the film was re- cut before its Ottawa showing, but I found very little pornography in it and no obscenityfor those concerned with rumours of Nureyev's,uh, overexposure. One note about "Valentino" is that it does quite effectively capture the insane, media-crazed spirit of the twenties. The twenties the rich knew. AndValentino's short life, regardless of how it is portrayed-- is the epitome and anticipation of a series of such tragedies: Fatty Arbuckle, Buster Keaton, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe Page 16

Three cheers for Glebe Conservers! PILOT WASTE NEWSPAPER Who says we are an affluent, uncaring, consuming society with no thought for our children's future? So many people every day demonstrate their concern for the environment by various means, whether recycling or saving fuel, that it may be tirne to think more positively about RECYCLING PROGRAM ourselves. The image we have gained in the press has been based on facts and has shown us how Ytupid we have been in despoiling our heritage. But there are signs that this attitude is PROGRESS REPORT - GLEBE AREA changing; experience has shown that given the opportunity to practice recycling on a conven- ient, accessible basis, people will do so. It is not that we are thoughtless or uncaring, but DATE TONS COLLECTED that we need information about our environrnent and our damage to it. Once_alerted to the SEPT. 14 TONS problems we have to desmonstrate to our governments our desires for solutions, since without 10.5 grass roots support our governments cannot take effective remedial action. SEPT. 21 10.0 TONS Here in the Glebe we are demonstrating daily otur concern for the land. One householder SEPT. 28 17.3 TONS has cut down her GARBAGE from one can a week to one can every two weeks.

Total savings in fuel oil last winter as compared with the pre- OCT. 13 8.8 TONS vious year was 120 gallons. More importantly for household expenses was a saving of $58 on the total annual fuel bill. One Glebe resident has had a WATER-HEA'TER SWITCH installed in OCT. 19 9.6 TONS the kitchen so that she can turn off the heater easily (rather than run down to the basement) OCT. 26 12.0 TONS when she knows she won't be needing hot water. Last winter we put clear PLASTIC SHEETING OVER DOUBLE WINDOWS that were not required for ventilation or for the view, such as hall MINIMUM TARGET: 12 TONS PER WEEK and stair- landing windows. This was so successful in cutting down the air intake (euphemism for drafts) that we plan to extend the coverage to side windows in the main rooms and let the WASTE NEWSPAPERS SHOULD BE PLACED view take care of itself through the large central window. AT THE CURB BY.7:00 A.M. ON We all know about keeping worms in some soil in a garbage can in the basement to be fed our FOOD SCRAPS (e. g. vegetable waste unfit for broth- malcing, egg shells, tea leaves and REGULAR REFUSE COLLECTION DAY coffee grounds), thanks to our well - known conserver, Sylvia Holden. We have also learned (WEDNESDAY) IN REGULAR KRAFT from her to save ECG CARTONS and PACKAGING ITEMS such as plastic food trays that can be used as play material for our local day care centre or kindergarten or for young visitors at GROCERY BAGS OR CARDBOARD BOXES. home. Babysitters might take note of these ideas for amusing their charges. MAGAZINES can - NO FASTENERS SUCH AS STRING, WIRE not be put out for newspaper recycling but would be welcomed by nursing homes or hospitals, maybe even your hairdresser, doctor or next - door neighbour. One Glebe resident had the OR PLASTIC. bright idea of a COMMUNAL LEAF - SHREDDER which could be bought by the community and RAIN OR SHINE loaned out for a small fee to enable us to compost all those leaves more easily than can be done in bulk. Another person saves those 128 oz. SALAD OIL CANS, takes off the top and uses SUCCESS OF THE NEWSPAPER them as file boxes for important papers. It would be better to do without PLASTIC JUGS altogether or put them on a recyclable RECYCLING PROGRAM basis, but until a solution is found we must try to find ways to prevent them reaching the dump DEPENDS ON 10()% PARTICIPATION where they do not decompose. Here are a few ideas gleaned from discussions with people at our Community Centre Flea Markets: DON'T LET THIS NEWSPAPER use as watering jugs for plants - one on each floor of the house (did you know that if water stands for 3 days the chlorine is lost?) or for making up and storing liquid GET NEAR THE DUMP! fertilizer small ones filled with sand or gravel for ballast can be used in the toilet tank to lower the water level, thus saving water frozen water-filled jugs are useful for insulated picnic bags bottom part cut off can be used as a toilet brush holder or as a pail in the sandbox top part inverted for use as funnel for fondue fuel, for the sandbox, for putting rice, sugar, etc. into storage containers; also for "hot caps" for young plants on frosty nights in Spring cut into strips to serve as identification tags for plants and seeds; I have also heard of strips being made into sun hats by lacing "holed" strips together but I don't have the

exact details' ! CLOTHING, DRAPES, FURNITURE, if not recycled at our local Flea Markets can be picked up by Neighbourhood Services (728 - 3737) or given to other worthy causes often highlighted in the daily press. Does everyone know about the City's pilot project to RECYCLE NEWSPAPERS into housing insulation? Now taking place every Wednesday over the whole Wednesday collection area including Centretown and Ottawa South, our record in the Glebe has been good but could irn - prove. We started off with 22./3 of Glebe households participating to produce 13 tons. We have reached 50% participation producing 17 tons but now we are down to 40% participation for a total of 91 tons. Remember to put it out before 7:00 am in a box or brown shopping bag, rain or shine. The TIN AND GLASS RECYCLING depot is doing record business at the back of the Glebe ICA. We are now averaging 1 ton of glass per week and 200 lbs . of tin. Remember to remove all metal and plastic including lids from the glass and all the paper from the tin, otherwise volunteers will have to stand around with their little kitchen knives doing it. B y checking through the material prior to sending it to Montreal (glass) and to Hamilton (tin), the volunteers save City taxpayers the equivalent of $60 per ton of glass in man hour/ wages. There must be many more ideas to save energy resources and reduce pollution. Please share them with us by phoning or writing Hazel Mackenzie, 381 Second Avenue, 236- 9054.
