Sir Banister Fletcher's A History of Architecture identifies 35 different types of arch- es, many of which you can find in the Glebe. Here are a few of them; more of them will be in an upcom- ing display on the Glebe Historical Society's board at Loeb Glebe on (Elliptical: The Driveway and Patterson Creek) Arches aren't just on buildings. The bridge over Patterson Creek at the Queen Elizabeth Driveway is an Bank Street. elliptical arch. The vertical supports for an arch are called piers or columns. The block at the top of a pier is called an impost. The wedge-shaped blocks are called voussoirs, except for the one at the top (the keystone) and the ones immediately on top of the imposts (the springers). By varying the shape and centre of the curve or curves, you get dif- ferent arches. YOu can try it yourself with a compass and a piece of paper.

Photos: Steve (Oval: 156 First Avenue) An arch and its reflection make up an oval Reid window, like this striking one at 156 First Avenue. (Three-centred: 100 Strathcona Avenue) A three-centred arch is similar to an elliptical arch, but its shape is defined by three circles: a large one in the centre and smaller ones for the sides. A three-centred arch is more rectangular than an elliptical one.

Bone marrow donors needed BY BRENT MACDONALD In the Dec. 5 issue of the Glebe Report, there was a plea for individuals to come forward and consider being bone marrow donors. A young girl in the area, Tanya Heney, desperately needed a bone marrow transplant and a com- patible donor had not yet been found. Time was of the essence. How my heart reached out to Tanya and her parents. Ab/Back Glute Press This plea brought back many memories for me, as I had been a bone mar- row donor in 1999 and submitted an article to the Glebe Report encouraging individuals to consider becoming donors. Nothing has changed since then. I Showers & Free Towel Service I continue to be an advocate for this tremendous medical miracle. Imagine being able to give someone else a second chance at life through a bone mar- row transplant! HOURS OF OPERATION: Tragically, time was against the Heney Family. Tanya's cancer was too Monday-Friday, 6:30 p.m. aggressive and a compatible donor had not been found. As a result, a trans- a.m.-8 plant could not be attempted, and she died in mid-January. Saturday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. More bone marrow donors would greatly enhance the possibility of finding a compatible match for a patient in need. As an bone marrow donor unrelated to the recipient, you never know who it is you will help, but I can assure you, 99 FOURTH AVENUE the recipient and their family will be forever grateful. Please consider being a volunteer donor and contact Canadian Blood Services at 1-888-236-6238. It will change you-forever. 29 Glebe Report February 13, 2003 REPORT
