Great Glebe Garage Sale May 28: Spread the word

BY JIM FOSTER

Scoop, lift, turn, dump, a hand on each control, he smiled with glee. My favourite Great Glebe Garage Sale purchase is a red and black me- chanical shovel I bought for my three year old son Se- bastien.

I watched him dredge canals through the slush in our backyard last week for half an hour. That's five minutes longer than the box the dish- washer arrived in and the shovel was only five dollars. I'm not sure who likes it more, Sebastien or me, but it really is a treasure - something I would have loved as a kid. That's what makes the sale so special to me, finding that chance item like a five dollar four pocket door with three free hinges that fit your house without a minor renovation. The thrill of a great purchase is surpassed only by the opportunity to empty our basement of every surplus item I've tripped over in the last ten months.

We are focusing our attention on advertising the sale this year. Susan and Kathryn our Great Glebe Garage Sale publicity gurus have placed ads in over 10 different publi- cations. A press kit will also be distributed to T.V. and radio stations. The kits will include one of our classic Great Glebe

Garage Sale Enviro-mugs. We also need your help to ensure our community's sale is a success. Make it a point to tell someone new about the sale today. Our incredible flying banner will be seen waving above Bank Street at Second Avenue by the third week of May. Many thanks to The An- tique Shoppe and Newcom De- velopments for their co-operation.

You can register for the sale by dropping your forms off at the Glebe Community Centre, 690 Lyon St. S., The Glebe Apothecary at 778 Bank St or The Tea Party, 103 Fourth Avenue. See page 2 of the Glebe Report for the Great Glebe Garage Registration form.

As always we ask registrants to donate 10% of their proceeds from the sale to the Ottawa Food Bank. Approximately three days before the sale registrants will receive a garage sale kit which includes helpful hints and a donation card. Please have this completed and ready for pick-up by 3 p.m. May 28th. Tax receipts will be mailed by the Ottawa Food Bank. The sale is always a great kick off to summer. Many thanks from the Glebe Community Association. Have fun!

For more information, call Jim Foster 563-3570.

On March 28, astronaut Roberta Bondar, Chair of Canada Trust's Friends of the Environment Foundation came to Central Park to acknowledge the community based tree planting project undertaken by the Glebe Community Association and local volunteers. She addressed a number of area residents, project organizers, local officials, and a group of Grade 3, 4 and 5 students from Mutchmor Public School.

Her visit was one of several in the Ottawa area organized by FEF Ottawa Chair, Steve McCormick, to view community based environmental initiatives supported in part by FEF funding.

Since the Central Park Re-Planting project began in 1992 it has received $1,500 in funding; $500 from Canada Trust in 1993, and $500 each from the Glebe Report and the City of Ottawa's Recreation & Culture Department. Labour, assistance and training have come from many other sources as well.

The Patterson Creek Park tree planting initiative also received $500 from Friends of the Environment.

Neighbourhood Watch begins A very successful Glebe

North Neighbourhood Watch (GNNVV) meeting was held on Tuesday April 12 at the Glebe Community Centre. Over 100 people filled the downstairs meeting room. Sergeant Jacques Corbeil and Senior Constable Gary Schuiteboer ("Skate") of the Ottawa Police indicated that they had never seen such a fast turnaround in the creation of a Neighbour- hood Watch programme. Much credit is due to Brian and Mar- jorie Lynch, Coordinators of the Glebe North Neighbour- hood Watch for organizing the

Glebe Singers concert May 14 Everyone is welcome at the

Glebe Singers' Spring Concert! It will take place at 8:00 p.m.,

Saturday May 14, at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament (Fourth Avenue at Percy).

Our music ranges from jazz to folk songs from Newfoundland and Africa. The major work is Mass in G by Franz Schubert.

The Ottawa Valley Chamber Ensemble will be performing as well as accompanying our presentation of the Mass.

We are able to present our concert free of charge due to the support of Glebe busi- nesses. Thanks to Home Hard- ware, Loeb Glebe, Inniss Pharmacy, The Book Bazaar, Puggwash Children's Books, the Scotia Bank, The Glebe Em- porium, The Framing Experi- ence, Marala, Nicholas, Fel- lenas, Arbour Recycled Prod- ucts and Croissant Express.

A voluntary collection will be taken and sent to a charity.

The Glebe Singers is a \faun-

program so effectively. Ovei 15 neighbours had volunteered as Block Captains and gone door to door to obtain well over 90% participation in the program. To this end, Sergeant Corbeil announced that the GNNW will receive two Neigh- bourhood Watch signs. Ideas from the community were sought for placement of the signs and two locations were identified: one at the south- east corner of Bronson and Chamberlain and the other at the north-west corner of Bank and Powell.

N EWS Best tulip fest yet

The Cowboy Junkies, Skydig- gers, Murray McLauchlan, the Doughboys and Blind Boys of Alabama lead a list of 27 Main Stage concerts that will be featured in Ottawa's favourite concert setting: the outdoor stage at the Canadian Tulip Festival, presented by Canada Trust in Major's Hill Park, May 18-23. Opening with 'Ottawa Night,' the festival will feature Quebecois music, punk, funk, rap, pop, folk, blues and jazz throughout the week, as well as a host of multi-cultural per- formers.

However, the real star of this year's festival is an exotic Turkish Village, a mini-tented 'city' the Festival imported from Turkey. As centerpiece of the event's theme, 'Turkish Tulip Tribute', the area salutes the culture of the tulip's original home. From fortune tellers to magnificent carpets, the fascinating area has constant entertainment, displays, and delicious cuisine.

Festival TuliPasses (pre-sale tickets) are just $12 and provide unlimited admission to Major's Hill Park for all concerts, the Turkish Village, and other activities including MetLife Kid's Town, Family Ac- tivity Land, and the Craft Vil- lage. Kids TulipPass buttons available at McDonald's Restaurants are 501T.

TuliPasses are only available prior to the Festival, May 1-17, at Canada Trust, Japan Camera, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pizza Hut, Eatons, Jubilee Jewellers and Tulip Boutiques in major malls. For more information, call the Tulip Hotline: 567-4447.

This year a guide to Ottawa's Tulip Beds will be available. This map lists special tulip va- rieties and explains the signif- icance of particular beds.

During the first three weekends of May, an OC Transpo Tulip Bus will help tulip lovers view Ottawa's glorious floral displays. For $1, riders can climb aboard at: Byward Mar- ket, National Gallery/Major's Hill Park, Ottawa Congress Centre, Fifth Avenue, Opeongo, Dow's Lake Pavilion and the Central Experimental Farm.

Six May time "Tulip Getaway" packages, beginning at $30, have been crafted for locals

and visitors to experience the Tulip Capital's spring celebra- tions at special savings.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Ottawa's oldest event, the

Tulip Festival is run by community volunteers who dedi- cate their time, skills, and en- thusiasm to the event. Eight hundred jobs are waiting for applicants.

Tobias Keogh, volunteer coordinator, believes the Cana- dian Tulip Festival is popular because it is run by people in touch with the community. Volunteers make new friends, enjoy the weather, and help the community. They also receive a T-shirt, admission, meals, certificate, and a Thank You Party.

"We depend on our volunteers, they make the Festival bloom," says Keogh. For information on becoming part of the world's largest tulip festival, call 567-4447.

Neighbourhood Watch, continued

Coordinators Brian Lynch and Peter Ostapchuk became members of the Ottawa Neigh- bourhood Watch Association and are encouraged to meet once a month with the Ottawa Police at regular Association meetings.

For those of you who could not attend the April 12th GNNW meeting, please feel free to contact either Brian Lynch (233-1994) or Peter Ostapchuck (237-4804) to obtain information and the phone number of your Block Captain(s). We would like to thank all of the Block Captains and members of the neighbourhood who participated in making our Glebe North Neighbourhood Watch program a success. We have begun the process to assist our neighbours and to watch out for one another.

For Ninevah's Sake" Everyone is invited to "For

Ninevah's Saker, a musical based on the Old Testament story of Jonah, to be held at Barrhaven United Church, 3013 Jockvale Road at 3 PM on Saturday, June 4th. Local per- formers Laurie Evans, Kari Klusmeier and Jim Richardson will be appearing in the musical, written by Walter Far- quharson and set to music by Ron Klusmeier.

Aberdeen Pavilion opens June 27

BY JIM WATSON Mark June 27 down in your

calendar as we celebrate the grand re-opening and dedica- tion of the 96 year old national and local historic site at Lans- downe Park known as the Ab- erdeen Pavilion.

After years of debate City Council approved a plan put forward by Councillor Peter Hume (Alta Vista) and myself in July 1992.

The plan called for the restoration of the building to its original form. Instead of some of the grand schemes of the past (trade show com- plexes, hotels, etc.) our plan simply restored the building so that it can be used in the summer and warm months as exhibition space (car shows, The Ex, craft sales, etc.) and in the winter months as a naturally frozen skating facility (as it was in 1904 when the Silver Seven won the Stanley Cup there!)

The building is steeped with history. Lord Strathcona's Horse brigade used it prior to the Boer War, and MacKenzie King was chosen Leader of the Liberal Party under its dome. - Everyone is invited to attend

the grand re-opening on Mon- day June 27 when the festivities begin with a complimentary community barbecue at 5 p.m. in front of the building (Bank St. side). Jugglers, buskers and musicians will perform, and exhibits on the history of the building will be on display. At 7 p.m. (sharp) the formal ceremonies get underway inside the Aberdeen when the Right Honourable Ray Hnatyshyn, Governor General of Canada formally re- dedicates the building. At approximately 7:30 p.m., The Central Band of the Canadian Armed Forces performs. Limited edition prints by well known Ottawa Citizen artist Ben Babelowsky will be on sale, and complimentary souvenir programs will be available.

A number of local sponsors have come forward to help us defray costs, including Rogers Cable TV, the Senators, Ogden Entertainment, The Citizen and we are appreciative of their help.

All of the principals from schools in Capital Ward have been contacted and asked if their students would partici-

Message from the Mayor BY JACQUELIN HOLZMAN

The way in which Nicholas Battersby was killed brought to the surface our collective fear that we might not escape the fate of so many American cities after all. Until now, Ot- tawa has been a place where we expect our brightly lit and travelled main streets to be safe. Our reaction to this act of violation was shock, then out- rage, and finally a compulsion to action.

At the municipal level, we are taking action on the number of guns in our community. The firearms amnesty I have initiated will remove all types of firearms - including re- stricted weapons and unregis- tered hand guns - from circulation, no questions asked. In 1990-91, a similar program led to the destruction of 194 weapons in Ottawa.

We are using the weight of our "official" voice to press the federal government for gun control. We have asked that ail firearms be registered, that firearms and ammunition be sold only to holders of a Firearms Acquisition Certifi- cate with a photograph at- tached, that all such sales be registered, and that no one under age 18 be sold ammunition. We will lobby MPs for their support.

Our efforts towards crime prevention - the root of any solution - include simple things like improving street lighting and more complex initiatives such as my campaign to make Centretown a place where many more families choose to live. But funda- mental to crime prevention, I

believe, is youth having a pro- ductive role to play in the community: jobs.

Job creation is the reason I

give a great deal of energy to pursuing economic opportunities at home and abroad - particularly challenging at this time because, for every job lost to recession, two new jobs have to be found: one to replace the loss, the other to provide necessary growth.

I am thankful for the results achieved so far, including the start of construction this summer of the Ottawa Life Sciences Technology Park to house an industry predicted to provide 10,000 jobs in the region and further thousands in spin-off opportunities.

Our lives have been changed because of Nicholas Battersby's death. As we begin the healing process, we rededicate our- selves to returning to Ottawa the quality of life which de- fines us.

Editor Glebe Report, Our special "Heartfelt

Thanks" go out to the owners of Puggwash Children's Books, Mayda & John Owen, and especially to Carine Powell - a very warm, wonderful, friendly lady who works there.

Her kindness and sensitivity last January when I stopped in to purchase a book for my niece's 6 year old son Geoff in B.C., who was just diagnosed with leukemia, will forever be remembered.

My finances at that time were limited and after I ex- plained this to Carine, her eyes lit up and she said, "Come with me." We went to the front counter where underneath they had a box of beautiful children's books ready to go to the Children's Hospital in Ot- tawa. We proceeded to go through these books with tears in our eyes. After we had chosen some, she looked at me and said, "What's the difference between the Children's hospital here or the one in Vancou- ver?"

As we all know, God works in mysterious ways. The day my parcel arrived, little Geoff had just been told he had to go back to the hospital for more tests.

These tests are very painful and the parcel, I am told by my family, made such a difference and put a big smile on his face. We have these wonderful people from Puggwash to thank.

I spoke to our little Angel last night and what he has to en- dure is unbelievable but you would not know that by talking ta him. He is so very brave. We could all learn from these little heroes.

Forever Grateful, Ellen Olson & Family

CAPITAL COLUMN New rules about leaf & yard waste collection

By Councillor Jim Watson

LANSDOWNE PARK On May 18 Community

Services and Operations Committee (CSOC), a committee of which I am Vice-Chair, will discuss a range of issues dealing with Lansdowne Park and its uses.

As you know, Lansdowne Park has been the focus of debate and conflicting visions for a number of years. City staff are preparing a report about what the future of Lansdowne Park should be in order to make it more economically stable.

My personal vision of Lansdowne Park includes the following pillars:

MORE GREEN SPACE Lansdowne Park is

technically a park, but it more resembles a parking lot. With the addition of the Bank & Holmwood park this year and the contribution of green space along the Driveway next year (when Curl-o-drome #1 comes down) we are continuing the process of wrapping the entire park in green space.

I would like to see more trees and grass in place along Bank Street to improve the look of the area.

FEWER ACTIVITIES Currently over 350 various

events are held at Lansdowne Park each year. They range from football games (25,000 + people) to wedding receptions. Lansdowne Park has quickly reached the point of over saturation and the more that goes on at Lansdowne, the greater the impact on the surrounding community. We have to realize that Lansdowne Park has its limitations in terms of space and parking. I would prefer to see smaller to mid-size events as opposed to disruptive mega events (i.e. monster track events, day long concerts, etc.).

COMMUNITY FIRST I would like to ensure that

community areas (wading pool, Bank & Holmwood Park, ball diamonds) remain as a priority use for the community first and foremost.

The silly idea of the trade show complex/hotel from a few years ago at Lansdowne Park and its $90 million price tag should not even be contem- May 1, 1994 - Glebe Report - 6

plated again because of its in- appropriateness for a residential area.

LEAF & YARD WASTE The 1994 leaf and yard waste

collection program is now underway, and will continue until mid-November. Leaf and yard waste will be picked up bi-weekly, the same day as your blue box collection.

To reduce waste and protect our environment, leaf and yard waste will no longer be picked up if it is in plastic garbage bags. It must now be put out for collection in reusable garbage containers or in leaf and yard waste paper bags. They can be purchased at many major retail outlets including Loeb, Canadian Tire, Arbour Recycled Products, Loblaws and Home Hardware.

CAPITAL PARK City staff have been carrying

out improvements in City parks throughout the City to ensure that play structures are safe and comply with Canadian Standards Association (CSA) guidelines. Upgrades to the play structures in Capital Park are scheduled for this year. The general play structure meets CSA guidelines, but the stand-alone steel dome climber and swings do not. They will be replaced with a new climber and swing set. For information on this initiative please call Grant Peart from the Department of Recreation and Culture at 564-3074.

SPRING CLEAN UP REMINDER This year's Capital Ward

Spring Clean Up will be held Saturday May 7. We will meet at the Glebe Community Centre (690 Lyon St. S) at 10 am to clean up the Glebe area, and then at The Old Firehall (260 Sunnyside) at 2 pm to go through Ottawa South. Come out and help keep our community beautiful! Food and prizes will be provided to make the event more fun.

' ST. JAMES TENNIS CLUB Congratulations to the St.

James Tennis Club, which has received a self-help grant for the resurfacing of the tennis courts.

1994 RESURFACING PROGRAM Please note that Bronson Av-

enue from the Bronson Avenue Bridge to the Queensway is scheduled for resurfacing this year. Although we do not have a set construction date, the Region will be starting construction on regional roads at the end of May. Resurfacing is a process that strips the asphalt and replaces a new layer on top without digging up the roadway.

TREE PLANTING PROGRAMS Many residents have called

me to inquire about tree

planting. The City has a number of tree planting programs, and plants approximately 1,500 trees every year. The basic program is the Routine Tree Planting Program, in which the City plants the trees. To get your name on the list call 564- 1111.

Some programs depend on resident involvement. In the Do-lt-Yourself Tree Planting Program, homeowners can buy a tree from the City for $10 and plant and maintain it themselves.

In the Commemorative Tree Planting Program, you can honour a person or event with a tree planting ceremony. Af- ter City Council approval, the City coordinates the planting of a tree in a City park with a plaque at the base of the tree. The City also maintains the tree. In this program all costs are paid by the applicant.

There is also a Naturalization Program in which a portion of a City park is brought back to its natural state through the planting of seedlings and trees. This program depends greatly on community participation.

Finally, the Green Streets Canada Tree Planting Program is a two year (1994 and 1995) program designed to increase tree planting in the City of Ot- tawa. The Federal Government has provided financial assistance of $100,000 each year for two years, which will be matched by an equal amount by the City. Planting will be done in the Fall. We hope to get communities involved in identifying, and bringing forward proposals, and in the planting.

If you have questions about the various tree planting programs, please call the City's Trees Division at 564-1119.

CCEA COMMUNITY RELATIONS Once again I will chair the

ROUGH RIDERS - NEW OWNERS I hosted a very positive, yet

frank meeting between the new owners of the Ottawa Rough Riders and our community. In attendance from the community were: Beatrice Raffoul and Don Dobson (Glebe Community Association), Wendy Daigle-Zinn (Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group), John Bond (Ottawa South Community Association), Cam Robertson, George Falconer and Diana Paterson (Dow's Lake Residents' Association).

Rough Riders representatives were: Bruce Firestone (Chair), Phil Kershaw (President), Dennis Ruffo and Barry Lett (Vice- Chairs). The Director of Lansdowne Park was also in attendance as well as a representative from the Region's Health Department.

We talked about the team's upcoming plans and about problems the surrounding communities have experienced in the past such as traffic, parking, noise, and community- relations. We talked about the noise issue, particularly from outdoor concerts and how we can better improve public transit to avoid the parking problems that games create.

I think both parties were appreciative of the opportunity to talk about and listen to each other's plans and concerns. We talked about the noise issue, particularly from outdoor concerts and how we can better improve public transit to avoid the parking problems that games create.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH Congratulations to Brian and

Marjorie Lynch and Peter Ostapchuk for their hard work in organizing yet another very successful Neighbourhood Watch meeting in the Glebe on April 12th. The turnout of over 100 neighbours from Rosebery, Renfrew, Imperial, Powell, Lyon, Percy and Clemow was very heartening. The rash of break-ins in that area acted as a catalyst for the formation of this group of neighbours looking out for other neighbours.

My thanks also to Ottawa Po- lice Constables Jacques Corbeil and Gary Schuiteboer for their help. This turnout and commitment from the residents of the Glebe once again shows how much our neighbourhood cares about our homes and streets. CAN I HELP?

Bea says thanks and farewell

By G.C.A. President Beatrice Raffoul

The 1993-94 term of the Board of Directors is drawing to an end. As previously stated I will be stepping down as President, effective May 18th. It has been a great three-year term.

I remember vividly and fondly the recruitment call from Sylvia Holden some ten years ago. Thank you Sylvia for making that call!

The people that I have met through my involvement over the years have enriched my life. The highs and even some of the disappointments from working on issues of concern with residents in the Glebe have given me tremendous satisfaction. The sense of team, the help of many who gave so generously of themselves over sustained periods of time, to our community's real concern over the development of Lans- downe Park, Market Value As- sessment, Official Plan Re- views, Budget processes, community planning for Winter- lude, the Central Canada Ex- hibition -have reinforced my belief that cooperative efforts undertaken in a respectful environment contribute to the building of a good track record.

I want to thank past presi- dents who afforded me the opportunity to learn and contribute - Rob Quinn, Jim Mc- Carthy, Brian Jonah, and Don Dobson.

Thank you to Inez Berg and the Glebe Report Team who have, with humour, supported my redefinition of the monthly deadline!

Thank you's must also be extended to the former aldermen and Councillors with whom I

have worked -Howard Smith, Rob Quinn, Lynn Smyth. I especially thank Councillor Wat- son for his cooperation and support during my term as President - it has been a plea- sure to work with you Jim.

During the course of my du- ties and responsibilities there are a number of other past and present municipal politicians from surrounding wards, whom I would like to thank for their accessibility and consultation - Diane Holmes, Nancy Smith, Darryl Kent, Nancy Mitchell, Alex Cullen, Peter

Hume, Joan O'Neil, Peter Harris.

Thank you to Mayor Holzman for your open door policy, as well as to Regional Chairman Peter Clark.

I would also like to extend my appreciation to the City of Ot- tawa Chief Administrative Offi- cer and His Department Heads for their annual consultations with our Association - a process that has been most pro- ductive from our standpoint.

Citizens across the Region will, only too soon, experience the effects of Regional Reform. Where once our ward was represented by a single individual at both the City and Regional Councils -we will soon have two. It is disappointing to realize that reform and consultation have produced this result. I believe that our new Board will have to be vigilant in tracking the activities of both Councils and in assessing their priorities and affecting their decisions.

This will be a very interesting time for people to get involved in the work of our Board.

AGM Personnel renewal time! The

Annual General Meeting is scheduled for May 18th at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Centre, 690 Lyon. The deadline for submitting your name is May 13th. Don Dobson and myself await your call to participate.

The Mayoralty candidates will be coming and it is hoped that they will expound on their vision of the City and the role of Mayor in the "reformed dynamic," as well as the impor. tance of downtown communities in their vision.

This will not be an "all candidates" meeting but rather an informal opportunity to listen to and discuss with those persons, who are proposing to represent us, the issues that are affecting our neighbourhood. Please attend.

The AGM usually last about two and a half hours. The first half of the meeting consists of reports, including that of our Councillor. There are draws for prizes and refreshments are served. This is followed by our special guests - the candidates for mayor. The evening ends with the new executive taking office.

May 1, 1994- Glebe Report - 7

N EWS

BY SR. CST. GARY SCHUITEBOER My wife noticed a list posted

at the check-out counter. In bold black letters it stated, "Do not accept cheques from these people." A list of names was very visible to all who were doing business in the store. It was obvious that the store owner was very angry and frustrated and this roster of names was an attempt to warn other trusting persons to be- ware of doing business with these individuals. The list was also an attempt to publicly shame the fraud artists. I checked with the Crown Attor- ney's office regarding this practice. There is nothing criminal about this type of posted list, as far as the Crimi- nal Code of Canada is con- cerned, but there is the pos- sibility of a civil liability suit being brought against the store owner by persons on the list.

When I was a boy mv father told me, "If there is one thing worse than a thief, it's a liar." Fraud is deception that is practiced in order to achieve unlawful gain and in my view it is worse than stealing. Many an angry merchant has felt the same way after experienc- ing the frustration of having a cheque sent back by the bank with a notice informing them that an account is closed or that there are insufficient funds to cover the amount needed. The store manager that displays the sign "No cheques accepted" will usually tell you that their store has been a victim of this definitive abuse of trust.

At least once a week I must remind angry shop-keepers that there are two levels of law; criminal law that your police service is responsible to uphold and the civil law. This discussion usually takes place after a merchant has called a person who passed a "rubber cheque" and given the individual a week to come in to the store with the money owed or the police will be notified. The week has passed with no sign of reimbursement and the store manager has called me to May 1, 1994 - Glebe Report - 8

make an official police report. I then must inform the merchant that I am unable to assist as the case has entered the civil level of the law. Because a person has been given a certain time period to come into the store with the money owed, a verbal contract has been created which is within the area of civil law. The police have lost jurisdiction over the case. The merchant's only recourse to recoup any losses at this point is to sue civilly or to employ the services of a collection agency. Remember that even if a police report has been made and the com- plainant has chosen to pursue it by way of the criminal courts, the chances of recoup- ing the loss are minimal. The merchant will still be left out of pocket unless restitution is part of the sentence demanded by the Crown Attorney after an accused has been found guilty. The police are not bill collectors. They may only suggest possible sentencing the Crown which may or may not be followed.

What can you do as a merchant to protect yourself? Ob- taining two pieces of identification is a usual practice before accepting a cheque and at least one of the required pieces of identification could be a recognized credit card. Some merchants have devised a stamp that includes a signed waiver allowing them to use the credit card number to obtain funds if the cheque presented is not honoured. The danger here is obvious since the only time a merchant can confirm whether a credit card is genuine is when it is actu- ally being used. What if the card was cancelled but not returned? What if the I.D. and the credit card were in fact stolen at the time of presentation? I recommend asking for a piece of identification with a recent photograph. At least you know that the person across from you, is the same person presenting the demanded pieces of identification.

The only way to ensure you are not to be the victim of fraud is to accept only cash or to employ the services of the bank debit card. The card will cause the funds required to be immediately debited from the bank account.

to become more involved with the concerns of the Commu- nity I patrol. If you have a concern you think could be of interest to others, stop me on

What's cooking

BY SANDRA KEARNS

Recently our afternoon playgroup friends could be found having fun in the kitchen with Darlene. We all loved taking our turn mixing and adding the special ingredients that soon became a very delicious snack. With a little help and a lot of fun we all became excellent cooks. Our secret ingredients: fun and laughter.

On our recent photo days everyone had the opportunity to smile for the camera. Once we had practiced our beautiful smiles, it was time for our class picture. As everyone settled, there was only a moment for a

quick glance towards our own special hand print before it was time to say cheese. Thank you to Luciano of Jostens Canada for helping make this a very special day.

G NAG NEWS GNAG supports full-time councillors

BY WENDY J. DAIGLE ZINN

G.N.A.G. participated as part of the public delegation on Thursday, April 7th at City Hall; addressing the question under Regional reform - whether City Councillors should be full or part-time.

As you may know, the Glebe Community Centre is operated by the City of Ottawa in partnership with GNAG. Last year over 60,000 people participated in City and GNAG sponsored programmes at the Centre. Over 80,000 people used the Centre. As well, GNAG Board members contributed about 4,600 volunteer hours on programming, staffing, organizing and running activities there. Our successes have been accomplished despite our Community Centre's limitations, a 70 year old building which was not designed as a recreational facility.

GNAG feels, therefore, that we have credibility to voice our concerns regarding councillors' hours. We definitely support having full- time City Councillors with the mix of part-time regional councillors. If this does not occur we fear the following:

1. Reduced accessibility to

and accountability from our part-time City Councillors. At present, Councillor Watson works an average of 62 hours per week. Regional Reform will double his constituents and halve his time. We are in regular contact with our councillor on a myriad of issues, from dealing with departments responsible for the physical needs of the Glebe Community Centre to our present feasibility study as well as labour relations problems. Our Councillor definitely keeps City staff responsible to their electorate as should any elected official at any level of government. Regional reform proposes to reduce this responsibility to part-time. How can they do it and how are we to have the same level of accessibility - 6- 9p.m.? 7-8p.m.? We all live fragmented lives as it is. We cannot afford to have our access to our "grassroots" representation fragmented as well.

2. GNAG perceives the potential for possible "conflicts of interest" arising if City ,councillors must obtain employment themselves -(not so for regional councillors).

GNAG cannot comprehend

how regional councillor positions can become full-time. Regional responsibilities have only been 10% of City Councillors' time, and, since we understand the added responsibilities are policing, waste management and economic development - all at policy making level and as these are also dealt with at committee level - our needs for accountability and accessibility to our Regional Councillors are very, very low.

Therefore, we are asking for some common sense to be used in this decision. Given current financial constraints, another level of government should not be put in place. We most definitely must not regress to part-time City Councillors in order to make it easier for our provincial government to have only one person with whom to negotiate - Regional Chair. We shall lose too much if this happens.

ROUGHRIDERS AND COMMUNITY MEET

On April 12 Councillor Jim Watson organized a meeting with Bruce Firestone and representatives of both the Rough Rider's and Bretton Woods Entertainment and community representatives from the G.C.A., GNAG, Ottawa South Community Association and Dow's Lake Residents' Association. It was a consultative meeting and from GNAG's point of view a step forward. GNAG's concern was to point out that Lansdowne Park is one of the Glebe's essential recreation spaces. We play baseball, basketball, swim and just play there! We have limited 'green space' in the Glebe and our access to Lansdowne green space canot be jeopardized. Mr. Firestone and his associates, were quite open to listening to all our concerns and have agreed to follow-up meetings. GNAG would like to thank them, and John Grey, Manager of Lansdowne Park for agreeing to meet with us and hear our concerns. It is our intention to keep this process going and we thank Councillor Watson for organizing and maintaining this process.

WOW! Women on wheels

Now thatspring has arrived, more and more bicycles are on the roads - but how many of these cyclists are women? A 1992 survey of Ottawa-Carleton cyclists found that close to 10% fewer women than men cycle for recreation at least once or twice a week, and over 50% fewer women cycle to work or to school. Women on Wheels, a group of female cyclists organized by Citizens for Safe Cy- cling, is working to increase these numbers by showing women how easy it is to join in.

A great way to get some fresh air and exercise, cycling is also a fun and efficient way to run errands and get to and from work. Commuting by bicycle can save time if you normally use public transit, and with a bit of planning, your commuting time will only increase slightly if you normally take the car. Cycling to work is economical, healthy and envi- ronmentally friendly, and does not have to be a scary experience.

On Thursday May 5, 1994 Women on Wheels will hold a ,workshop to, discuss issues related to commuting by bicycle. Topics include, riding in traf-

fic, the basics of gearing techniques, hints on cycling to work and dealing with bad weather. The workshop will take place at the Ottawa South Community Centre at 260 Sun- nyside Avenue from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Other Women on Wheels workshops will take place throughout the summer. Dates and topics for the upcoming workshops are: May 19 - personal security/harassment while cycling

securing your bike June 16 - cycling in fashion/helmet-friendly hairstyles

flat tire repair demonstra- tion July 14 - family riding/transporting children, groceries, etc.

perspectives: bicycle use around the world September 15 - accessories: helmets/lights/bells, etc.

history: early feminism and cycling.

All workshops are free and will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Ottawa South Com- munity Centre. For information call Citizens for Safe Cy- cling at 567-1288.

Fire safety tips for spring BY FIRE FIGHTER DAVE

CRANIDGE Spring cleaning, lawn work,

and barbecuing are all sure signs that Spring has finally arrived, and we at the Ottawa Fire Department would like to pass on a few tips to ensure you have a fire safe Spring.

Cluttered conditions in the home contribute to fires by providing sources of ignition and fuel for fires. Here are a few cleaning tips to help prevent fires: - Regularly dispose of com- bustible materials such as paper and scrap. Don't let them accumulate.

Store all flammable materials, such as cleaning sol- vents, in approved covered containers.

Keep oily rags and mops in fire resistant metal containers because of the danger of spontaneous combustion.

When using any engine fuelled by gasoline, whether a boat, mini bike, or lawnmow- ers use extreme caution.

Never smoke vvhile using gasoline.

Turn off engines and let them cool before fuelling. Then move the engine at least 10 feet from where you fuelled it before restarting.

Never use gasoline for cleaning or to start a fire.

Keep machinery clean, to prevent overheating.

Many of us enjoy our first barbecue of the year during Spring, and more and more of us are cooking with propane. Propane is a flammable gas that is stored as a liquid under pressure. Propane, being heavier than air, will tend to accumulate in low spots upon release from its containment. Any leak in the containment system, if undetected and not corrected, could result in the contents of the entire cylinder discharging, posing as an ex- plosion hazard. The following guidelines should be observed:

Close the propane cylinder valve tightly even when empty.

Protect the cylinder valve from damage.

Store propane cylinders outdoors or in a well-ventilated uninhabited, detached building such as a garden shed and away from any sources of heat or flames.

Do not store a cylinder inside a vehicle or inside any buildings.

When not connected to the barbecue, as when transporting in your car for refill, use a

Affordable, personalized, quality ha

POL plug cap at the cylinder outlet, so that even if the valve is inadvertently opened or does not hold pressure, the plug will prevent propane from es- caping.

Use soapy water to test for leaks.

Change the 0 ring (can be obtained from your propane dealer).

When using propane, be at least 10 feet from any open- ings such as dryer vents, windows or ducts.

When cooking outdoors ensure you observe the following safety precautions.

Do not wear loose clothing that could flop against the grill.

Always use long-handled utensils for barbecuing.

Keep grill away from com- bustible walls or materials.

Keep children and pets away from the grill.

Keep ABC type extinguisher nearby.

NEWS Glebe questions

CLYDE SANGER Here comes a query from Bill

Singleton, of 5 Ella Street, ob- viously a tidy-minded man. He asks about the notices on the telephone poles along Fifth Avenue. (Before I put his question I have to remark that Ella Street will soon become to the Glebe Report, or at least to this column, what the city of Reading in southern England is to CBC's As It Happens program: the point of reference from which all other places are measured!)

Anyway, Bill's question: "Is there some competition going on to have your notice stay up the longest on the poles? There are some that date back to November on Fifth Avenue. Whose job is it to clear them off? Can anyone do it?"

Fifth Avenue certainly seems to hold the current record. There's the invitation to a "Candlenight vigil for East Timor, November 12," while several poles still advertise the "Christmas Cake and Bake Sale, Canadian Croatian Women for Peace, December 14."

I asked the ever-helpful Eliz- abeth Tuck, Councillor Wat- son's assistant, about who should be clearing them. She said that years ago City Hall saw to it, and the men who swept the sidewalks tore old notices down. Then it was left to the hydro and phone com- panies. But now there was a ruling on it from the Supreme Court. She put me on to the Legal Department.

Yes, it's true, said Doug Wal- lace. Last September the Supreme Court of Canada heard an appeal from a rock band (he couldn't recall its name) against a by-law of the City of Peterborough forbidding postering. The learned judges said, of course postering on public poles was a form of freedom of expression we should all cherish.

Since the court didn't set any limits to this freedom, it's a moot point how long posters should stay up. Mr. Wallace's rule of thumb is "a couple of weeks, or until the event it ad- vertises has happened." He says the Engineering and May 1, 1994 - Glebe Report - 14

Works Department is supposed to clear them.

Well, don't hurry over, please. The telephone poles ( Julia Propellor singing for Clayoquot Sound, and the un- dated and long-lasting invitation to "Meditation - A Way to Alertness") are some of the glories of the Glebe. Skye Fans returned to Ottawa from British Columbia for one special reason: yes, the messages on the Glebe poles. So she says.

Now here's a question that requires reader participation. I have a possible answer, but someone else may improve on it The question is: "Which Glebe family has had the longest direct connection with First Avenue School?"

A strong nomination for this title is the family of David Dunlop of Powell Avenue. His mother, who was then Orian Carruthers, was in the kindergarten class in 1917 (her elder sister was there in 1913, but she is not in direct line). He followed in 1948 into the same room and with the same kindergarten teacher, Miss Gaisford. That's 31 years at least, and David says his mother used to remark that Miss Gaisford was old in her day!

Now a third generation: David's daughter Oriana is there in Grade 4, and went through the same kindergarten room (Miss G. doubtless watching from afar). His mother used to collect her grandchild at the old school up to last year, right to the week when she died.

I had to ask about the slight difference in names, Orian and Oriana. David who was the deputy chief of protocol at Ex- ternal Affairs until launching his own consultant's firm, explains he added the 'a' for diplomatic reasons. It also sounds more musical.

Can anyone beat the Dunlop record? Please let me know.

I'm still working on a question from Alice St. James, who wonders about the street num- bering on Third Avenue. When she was born, her parents lived at 320 Third and that number no longer exists. They run (in the block between Lyon and Percy) from 206 to 234, and then (west of Percy) jump to 360, with a further skip to 364. Alice, who now lives at 420 Third, is sure the old house is still standing, but with another number. All quite confusing, but I'm told the City Archives may have the answer.

Choosing a suitable day care provider BY CATHERINE SEWARD

The care of your precious and innocent children is a trusted commitment. There- fore choosing a day care provider is one of the most important decisions you may be faced with, regarding your child's welfare.

Arrangements for in-home, high-quality care can be made in two ways. Dealing with a child day care agency is one method, and through a private day care provider is another. All type of child care arrangements have advantages and disadvantages. It is your responsibility to choose the type of care that will best meet your child's needs and your family's life style.

Day care agencies are licensed under the Ontario Day Nurseries Act, and the homes of the day care providers in their employ are licensed under the Act too. These providers may care for up to five children as well as their own children. Agencies handle the investigative work involved regarding the provider. These providers have been screened for fitness for day care, their health, their hon- esty and dependability. Their houses are checked for safety,

cleanliness and proper play space. The agency worker will make surprise inspections at the day care home to make sure the provider is providing in-home quality-care for the children in her care.

Arrange a meeting with an agency. At such time fees will be discussed; hours you will need care, etc. They will probably ask "What do you expect from day care?". A meeting will then be set up with a prospective provider.

Before you meet the provider, prepare a list of possible questions, bringing them with you to the interview. Dis- cuss questions with the provider, and hours of care needed. Bring your child with you to see how the provider relates with your child.

Ask for a tour of the house so you can check the following: is it child proof? Check play area for safety, no broken toys lying around. The outdoor play area should be fenced. Indoors check for smoke detec- tors, fire extinguishers, and covers for electrical outlets. Check safety of sleeping quarters, cribs and playpens should be safety approved. Strollers should be approved too.

Ask the provider if there is a back-up friend or someone who will take care of the children if there is an emergency, or if the provider has to be ab- sent. Make arrangements to meet this person. If there is no back-up, let the agency know. They will probably be able to help.

After thanking the provider for the interview, tell her you will contact the agency with your decision. Let the agency know your decision soon.

Private home-based child care, is neither regulated nor supervised, therefore care- givers and parents share the responsibility of ensuring that children receive high-quality care.

Names and phone numbers of day care providers can be obtained at local schools, neighbourhood and daily newspapers, under day care listing.

Call some of these providers and set up appointments. The interviews should be very similar to the interview with

N EVVS

the agency provider. There is, however, one exception. You should ask for names and phone numbers of references. Some of these references should be people the provider works for at the present time.

Be sure to contact the references. If you decide the provider is suitable, both of you should draw up a contract as protection for both parties. Ask the provider if you may visit her and the children she takes care of for a couple of hours someday, bringing your own child with you. You will then see how she relates to children. After your child is under her care, make surprise visits.

Now that there is a commitment between you and your provider, try to honour the contract, such as paying on time, and picking children up on time, etc. Honouring the rules on both sides, parent and provider, will build up a trust, which is a valuable asset.

ARTS Art for Aberdeen selected The City of Ottawa's Art in

Public Places Programme, De- partment of Recreation and Culture, is pleased to announce the winning proposal for a permanent work of art to be created for the newly-restored Aberdeen Pavilion.

Ottawa artist Tim desClouds has been awarded the commission for his proposal to create and install a directional weather-vane in front of the west entrance facade of the Aberdeen Pavilion. The work will be completed by Septem- ber 1994.

The proposed work of art is entitled "The Cows Fly Home on Sunday." It will be crafted in traditional hammered-copper, and depict a fish leaping be- neath a winged Holstein cow with wheels for hooves.

Tim desClouds describes the work as whimsical and reflec- tive of the warmth and vitality of the people using the Lans- downe Park site. The symbols and images created in the piece represent rural life in the Ottawa Valley and the simplicity of days gone by. With the addition of wheels in place of hooves, the artist in- tends to convey the passage of time and advent of technology. The cow's wings and leaping fish symbolize the artist's op- timistic view of the future.

Twenty-three submissions for the Aberdeen Pavilion commission were received and reviewed by a five member Art Selection Committee composed of a community member, ar- chitect, artist, City Project Manager and a Public Art Committee of Ottawa member. The winning proposal was selected based on its artistic excellence and its appropriateness to this National Historic Site.

This public art project is made possible through the City of Ottawa's Percent for Art Policy. Since 1985, new or renovated City facilities and capital projects with budgets over 2 million dollars desig- nate 1% of their budget for site-specific works of art. Un- der this policy, the Art in Pub- lic Places Programme collabo- rates with architects, city planners, artists, the community and contractors to es- tablish the criteria for each project. As part of the process, Programme staff work with area schools to involve students in site visits, slide pre- sentations, and hands-on projects relating to site-specific public art.

For more information contact Annalee Adair, Public Art Con- sultant, City of Ottawa at 564- 1133.

Source of Art New paintings by Mary Nunn A Source Of Art Gallery is

presenting "Flowering" a major exhibition of new paintings by Mary Nun until May 7.

The watercolor sketches done on location last spring and summer, mark the fruition of many years of teaching, drawing and painting in watercolor. The work shows complete mastery of a medium with clean, fluid colour, free- ness in line, and economy of image.

Beginning last fall with small works exploring the brilliance of colour inspired by stained glass artistry, Mary Nunn has founded a new direction in her art, a unique, vibrant .and strong personal style of expression. Struggling daily with the problems asso- ciated with new media, and working to a scale much larger than previously considered, she has managed in a short time to develop a significant body of new work.

In the last year, Mary Nunn has been on painting trips to Bermuda and Newfoundland, where she taught workshops at May 1, 1994 - Glebe Report -18 18

Memorial University Art Cen- tre, had an entry in the Cana- dian Who's Who, and was signed up by the Sobot Gallery in Toronto where her new work is now on exhibition.

A Source of Art Gallery is open from 11:30 to 4:30 Tuesday through Saturday at 5th Av- enue Court, on Bank Street. It is an artist-run gallery/cooperative. For show information, or to become a member, call Lu Jonescu, President, at 238-5908.

Portraits of the Living Maya by Jaya Krishnan, 1994.

Following a year travelling through Mexico and South East Asia, Glebe artist, Jaya Krish- nan, will be showing some of his works at A Source of Art Gallery in Fifth Avenue Court from May 24 through June 4.

The exhibit, entitled Portraits of the Living Maya, is a collection of beautiful watercolour paintings of some of the people now inhabiting the states of Chiapas and the Yucatan. Shy young girls, the women of the markets, men wrinkled by toil and time -- all are represented with vibrancy and compassion.

World attention was focused on the suffering of the native people of Chiapas in January of this year during an upris- ing of the peasants. The revo- lution was a blunt reminder of the poverty and injustice that still exist.

Glebe residents and others are invited to view tylr. Krish- nan's stunning portraits of the proud descendants of the ancient Maya people, whose culture and civilization dominated Mexico and Central America for centuries.

FEATURE Y worker experiences India's diversity

BY JEAN MUNRO On February 2nd, I embarked

on a journey to India which has made a great impression on me. I was accepted to go to India with the International Youth Participation Program through the YMCA-MCA of Ottawa-Carleton. For two months I observed the various programs delivered by the YMCA with the Hyderabad YMCA and I was there to strengthen this partnership by learning about programs and the Indian culture.

When I first arrived I sat in on meetings of village women who were beginning to orga- nize collectives. The YMCA would send social workers to the collectives to discuss women's legal rights as well as dowry. Dowry is a certain amount of money and gifts which is demanded by the husband's family and given by the bride's family during the marriage process. This dowry has put enormous pressure on women and has created great inequality between men and women. Within these collectives, the women would discuss the issues around dowry and try to come to a consensus on how to end dowry in the village. As well, with large collectives the women would start up their own cottage industry and make and sell various products like soaps, dresses, and plates. Health workers would also meet with the women to discuss various ways of cooking more nutritious meals.

My second week was spent in Bombay at the All India Street Children's Conference. I at-

small village called Himayath- nagar located 50 km outside of Hyderabad. I lived with three young women social workers from the YMCA and one of their mothers. It was very interesting for me to compare my situation in the village with my life in the Glebe as I live with three young women here as well. We would do very similar things like cleaning, eating, and shopping together but as well in Himayathnagar we would spend the mornings collecting water from the local pump and the evenings playing with the local children and making jasmine garlands to wear in our hair the following day. Instead of spending an evening on the phone we would go from house to house and visit people or if there was an urgent message to be sent, one of the children would be the messenger. Because the village did not have this "advanced technology", I was able to have much greater personal contact with people and it was a welcome change.

Throughout the day I would work with the social workers on numerous community programs. To encourage a cleaner community the YMCA sponsored a "Rangoli" and clean environment competition. Rangoli is a design found outside houses made with rice powder drawn by the women or children early in the mornings. The people would continued on Books page

SPORT Shooting Stars: Girls' basketball success

The Ottawa Shooting Stars Girls' Basketball Club is completing its third year of operation this month. The Stars closed another exciting year with their annual banquet held at the Glebe Community Centre on April 29.

The Shooting Stars came into being three years ago when 16 girls, aged 8 to 11, from six Ot- tawa-area schools, including Mutchmor and Glashan, gathered at Glashan one evening a week to make new friends, learn basketball skills and participate in fun scrimmages. Because the Club's emphasis was on participation rather than competition, the Shooting Stars did not fare well in the few regional tournaments they entered that first year; but they did have fun and they did make progress and they did learn to love the game of basketball.

In its second year, the

Shooting Stars grew to 31 Mi- nor Bantam age 11 and under players, divided into four House League teams. Eight Grade 8 students, members of the Glashan Gators Girls' Bas- ketball team, acted as coaches, role models, demonstrators and assistants to head coaches Cindi Bates and Devon Woods. Each Wednesday evening the enthusiastic participants learned and practiced skills for an hour and played scheduled games during the second hour. For the purpose of tournament participation, the girls were divided into two teams: one novice and one more experienced. The fledgling Stars were still no match at the competitive level with the likes of the Gloucester Wolverines who select team members on a try- out basis from an enormous House League program.

94 season, numbers increased to 57 girls, this time in two age categories: Minor Bantam (11 and under) and Bantam (12 & 13). More parents became involved and four competitive teams were formed. At the Bantam level, sponsorship was provided by the Women Teach- ers' Association of Ottawa, which contributed to the purchase of team uniforms.

The Black Stars, consisting primarily of Glashan Grade 7 & 8 girls and coached by Cindi Bates, completed the season undefeated within the 12-team "A" Division league of the East- ern Ontario Basketball Asso- ciation. Centretown resident Vanessa Maxwell led the league in scoring, averaging 18.9 points per game. Pam Hughes of the Glebe vas the eighth highest scorer in the league with an average of 7.4 points per game. Hughes also recently scored the winning

basket to give Glashan the "A" Division gold medals in the O.B.E. Championships. The White Stars, 16 Grade 7 girls from several area schools including Glashan and Hopewell, coached by Devon Woods, enjoyed a successful season as well, finishing in the middle of league standings.

At the Minor Bantam level, 25 girls were also divided into a novice and a more experienced team. The older Stars' team

This excellent team, coached by Glebe resident Chad Gaffield and Gord Robertson, finished a highly successful season by capturing gold medals in the "B" Division of the Glashan Gators Invita- tional Basketball Tournament, going undefeated against four 0.B.E. Grade 7 teams. The novice Stars, coached by Devon Woods, won some and lost some this season but were definitely big winners in the fun category!

The Shooting Stars were started by Bates, a Glashan Physical Education teacher, and Woods, a Carleton Uni- versity professor, to fill a void in Ottawa and provide opportunities for their daughters and their daughters' friends to play basketball. Prior to the formation of the Shooting Stars, basketball clubs were

Invention convention on display May 2-6

BY ADRIANA KIEVIT, VICE PRINCIPAL

Both divisions, Primary and Junior, are working on inven- tions that will be displayed during Education week May 2 - 6. The Junior classes are working on an Invention Con- vention which was put into place shortly after the March break. The different steps of being an inventor and of creating an invention are being discussed and followed: Invent-stigate, Invent-storm and Invent-solutions. Inven- tions are being made with recycled materials brought from home - cartons, paper cylinders, plastic containers, etc. On May 5, a number of invited guests will evaluate the in- ventions at the Invention Con- vention in the gym. Parents, friends and relatives are invited to attend.

The Primary Division is busily designing and building, and will display their inven- tions during Education Week as well, but in the class rooms, and during Open House on May 3 in the morning, and on May 5 in the afternoon. The Junior Kindergartens will be making means of transportation from building blocks; the Senior Kindergartens will be designing farm shelters from building blocks; the Grade ones will be making a playground from recycled materials; the Grade twos will be making building shelters from paper and paper products. The Grade threes will be making a fairground. Parents, friends and relatives are invited to attend during Open House on May 3, in the morning, and May 5 in the afternoon.

Spring sports underway Basketball is well underway

at First Avenue School, with games being held each Wednesday at noon hour. The Grade 5 and 6 students make up 6 teams; each team will play twice. The players are very enthusiastic, and play a very fast game of basketball. I think we may have some players who are destined for a ca- reer in basketball! We continue having friendly games with neighbouring schools: our Grade 6 basketball players went to Hopewell to play with their Grade 7 and 8's. We did well, but Hopewell did better. A great time was had by all,

and the Hopewell students shared stories about their old "alma mater."

Ringette will be a second noontime sports activity in April for Junior students; Primary students are busy with the soccer games at noon. Now that the weather has become more spring-like and the snow is gone, there is room for more activities in the yard. Skipping ropes and balls are the order of the day. Physical Education classes are being held outdoors whenever possible. Training for Track and Field will be starting soon.

ERS IN CLASS are using word processing for their writing, and graphics for their illustrations. As well, there are programs in Math, Science and Logowriter that are appropriate to grade level. Both Primary and Junior students are computer literate. As well, each classroom has one or more computers, and the teachers use these as centres, integrating the computer in to the curriculum.

MAY BAKE SALE The Student Council will hold

a bake sale at the end of May in order to raise funds for CHEO, and for Student Council. Par- ents and students will be asked to contribute baked goods which will be sold at recess and lunch time. The Student Council is planning the activity. Another major event will be a talent contest in June.

This spring term will be key to your students' success.

Work hard and play safely Glebe learners.

BY MICHEL GUILLON It is, perhaps, the dream of

every child to someday visit foreign lands. I am very proud of having made this dream come true for over 1500 children since I founded Club Es- poir at Hopewell Public School. Translated literally, the word means "hope" and for 19 years through Club Espoir I have been striving to improve relations between French and English speaking Canadians, and to build bridges between Canada and France. I am full of hope that our young people will improve their world. We absolutely must stand behind them in their efforts.

At a time when we are aware of so much violence and self- ishness, I feel proud to see so many of our youngsters working positively to create friendship and love not only amongst their own club members but also, in their school, and with our friends in France.

While helping to perfect their second language, the exchanges also introduce our students to another culture. They learn that people of ferent languages and cultures

-;,can indeed live together in brotherhood and peace. As a

SCHOOL NEWS

result, many times over the years, former participants in the exchanges both in Canada and in France have made a point to renew old friendships, always trying to use our slogans. Target slogans for ES- POIR include "partage" (sharing), "s'entraider" (helping one another), "dé- couvrir" (discovering), and "espoir en un avenir meilleur" (hope in a better future).

Another very successful exchange visit has come to a close...Was it worth the two years of careful planning to spend those two short weeks in France? Definitely, yes.

As always, the hospitality shown to us by our hosts was impeccable. All our French counterparts were friendly and co-operative, which contributed highly to the success of the exchange. The be- haviour of our members was excellent, and most developed greater maturity during their stay.

Numerous friendships were made or renewed. I am truly proud of the efforts of the 24 Hopewell students to make this one of the best exchanges in the 19 year history of Club Espoir. Let me assure you of the seriousness of our children

who always gave me cause for satisfaction. I daresay that we owe our success to them first.

Notre échange nous aura permis d'enseigner plus à nos enfants sur l'amour de leur prochain, en même temps que de renforcer leur désir du savoir, ce qui les aidera à devenir des citoyens dont nous ne pourrons, à juste titre, qu'être fiers.

Tout ne fait que commencer! Je formule le voeu que dans les années à venir nous con- tinuions d'aller de l'avant,dans un même élan de compréhen- sion et d'amitié. En fait, ce que nous venons de vivre n'est que le prélude à une nouvelle grande amitié entre jeunes

garçons et filles, de culture différente mais avec une même grande chaleur au coeur.

Voilà! I wanted to tell you about all the great success of the exchange and to thank you for the trust that you placed in me and ESPOIR. It is now time for me to start preparing for our visit of 1996 to Provins. Will those of you who are interested in your son or daughter's participating on the exchange (the child will be in Grade 8) please write to me (fax: 669-0188) or phone (663- 6899) and I will give him or her an application form.

Très amicalement à tous, Michel.

SCHOOL NEWS Mutchmor reads in SQUIRT sessions

BY SANDRA RAWSON AND MARY GLEN

The entire school community achieved an extraordinary level of engagement in the activities of Mutchmor Reads More. During three activity- packed weeks beginning after March Break, over 17,000 pages were pledged and read at home and at school in SQUIRT sessions (Sustained Quiet Unin- terrupted Individual Reading Time). The resulting Mutch- mor Bookworm, created segment by segment to mark pages and/or books read by each student, now winds its way well down the length of the ground level school corri- dor.

Authors and storytellers visiting the school included Brian Doyle, Jan Andrews and Joan Weller. The Great Owl Book Fair offered a wonderful selection of new books for keen readers; the used book sale gave everyone a chance to shuffle their libraries at home; and the resulting profits were sufficient to allow each classroom teacher to select and purchase five new books.

The "Grande Finale" was a celebration of the performing arts. Mutchmor's first "School Grown Café" showcased the tal- ents of students, parents and teachers in over 30 different acts, ranging from poetry reading and instrumental renditions, to folk singing, lip syncing, tap dancing and conjuring tricks. Back stage efforts supporting the per- formers were prodigious. Playing to an SRO crowd in the school library, the entertainment was a resounding success.

Great thanks for this celebration of books, reading, performance and the imagination go to the Co-ordinator Sandra Rawson and the school staff, Café impresarios Diane McIn- tyre, Erene Augustyn and Christine Pugh, and to every member of our school community. "We read therefore we are." Engrave it in your hearts.

BENCHMARKING COMES TO MUTCHMOR

Members of the OBE's Admin- istration team briefed the April Home and School meeting on progress to date in de- veloping key benchmarks to measure students' learning outcomes in mathematics.

We learned that an array of "descriptions" are used for outcomes like spatial sense and geometry, estimation and mea- surement, and number sense and numeration, in order to precisely assess a child's progress. A portfolio of each student, begun in Kinder- May 1, 1994- Glebe Report - 24

garten and passed on through to grade three, then from grades four through six will allow him or her to be assessed along a continuum.

It is not yet clear how benchmarking will be incor- porated in the traditional report card system.

Mutchmor teachers Terr

Davies and Dale Poulter have been leading teams of their colleagues in the primary and junior groups of the school to first understand and then im- plement this complex but po- tentially useful approach to assessing and giving feedback. This has consumed enormous amounts of "free" time, but staff as a whole believe it has been beneficial, allowing them to teambuild for the grade-to- grade integration.

COMINGS AND GOINGS With the announcement of

current Principal Ruth Her- rick's appointment to the position of Principal, Ottawa Chil- dren's Treatment Centre, Mutchmor is now anticipating the naming of a new leader and champion. Eleven candidates are competing for nine principal vacancies across the OBE elementary system; an announcement will be made once that competitive process is complete.

Mrs. Vezina has left her Grade 3/4 class in room 19 in the capable hands of Mrs. Niki DiVito, teacher and noted local storyteller. We all wish Martha well as she anticipates the birth of her second child.

A GREAT BASKEIBALL SEASON Congratulations to both the

Girls and Boys Basketball Teams who went to the city- fi- nals and each achieved second place overall. To coaches Mr. Walji and Ms. Kemp, great thanks, and to all the players and their enthusiastic sup- porters, congratulations. A silver feather in all your caps!

SCHOOL NEWS Lady Evelyn P.S.

Official opening May 4 BY NANCY MOONEY Everyone is invited to a

spring fête to celebrate the Official Opening of Lady Evelyn's beautiful new building. During the day there will be a special party for the children. Balloons, banners, a treasure hunt, ice cream and cake are a few of the many important ingredients. A special tea for the school's closest neighbours is being planned by Jeff Frith's grade 4/5/6 class. The children will have their own official opening ceremony during the day.

At 4:30 the adult festivities begin with a barbecue of hamburgers, hot-dogs, and tofu-dogs in the school yard. There will be tours of the new building - each classroom will have a representative who will be happy to explain the wonderful displays centering around a nature/spring theme. A huge tree will appear to grow from the bottom floor right to the top unifying all levels of the building in a celebration of nature. There will also be a continuous slide presentation "The ABC's of Lady Evelyn Alternative School" shown during the evening. At 6:00 p.m. the "very short" speeches begin featuring OBE trustees, officials and community representatives . Afterwards, cake and refreshments will be served. The video room is available for children to occupy themselves.

A very special invitation is extended to former Lady Evelyn students. There will be


a guest book for alumni to sign as well as a corsage presented to each made by some of the students. Any photos, memorabilia and remembrances of Lady Evelyn are being sought. Anyone with memories to share or wishing further information should contact the school at 239-2404 or Pamela MacMillan at 235- 2504.

students are from the National Capital Region while the other half come from across Canada and are billeted with local students.

Each delegation of two students assumes the role of rep- resenting an assigned Com- monwealth country and its interests. In order to do this, the students must research in advance the political, economic, social characteristics and international position of their country. At the Confer- ence, students participate in several debates and round table discussions on current issues of interest to all countries with the goal of reaching a consensus on future directions. Issues to be debated this year include Dependency and Development, Environment vs Development and Trade Blocs and Co-operative Ventures. Out-of-town participants will also have opportunities to visit Parliament Hill, the High Commission of a Common- wealth Country and an Ottawa

Lynx Baseball game. Glebe Collegiate, always an

enthusiastic participant, has two delegations to this year's Conference. Julie Shouldice, Jon Langdon, Michel Protti and Julie Richard are our four representatives.

Student conferences such as these offer students an excellent opportunity to study and understand major world issues from the perspective of a country with needs, interests and goals which may be different from those of Canada. Students learn how to negotiate in order to reach a consensus on issues of common concern. Each delegation also benefits from the knowledge contributed by other participants on their respective countries. At the end of a conference, students leave with a new appreciation of the international challenges faced by all countries together.

SCHOOL NEWS Citizenship Court goes to schoo

BY FARIDA TAVARES People from all over the world, literally, gathered

at Ridgemont High School on April 20 to mark a unique day for staff and students, who not only participated in swearing in 47 new citizens, from 23 different countries, but also dedicated a multicultural mural to the community. The event was a unique celebration of Citizenship Week.

Shirley Druhan, a law teacher at Ridgemont, was instrumental in bringing this real citizenship court to the school for a public ceremony, presided over by Judge Dover-Cohen, who welcomed the new Canadians to our country in a very moving ceremony.

A school which truly reflects a multicultural society, Ridge- mont's student body consists of students from 75 different countries, and to celebrate this rich cultural diversity, a multicultural mural in the school cafeteria was created by art students and several students from other countries, under the leadership and guidance of Nancy Courtright, head of the Arts Department. The idea of a mural, first planted two years ago by Shirley Dunn, an ESL teacher at Ridgemont, became a reality when student Peter Panteleakos suggested a tree with "Flag Foliage," the foliage depicting flags of all the countries represented at the school. Then began the work

May 1,,1994 - Glebe Report -28

of identifying the countries and researching their flags which culminated in a truly outstanding commemoration of our cultural mosaic at Ridge- mont.

After the Citizenship Court, student Tanya Curran dedicated the mural to the community. Among the guests at the reception were Mr. Robert Gillett, Director of Education, Mr. Ron Lynch, Assist., Director of Education, Dr. Lorne Rachlis, Superintendent of Schools, Abdi Omar, Cultural Liaison 0.B.E., Deputy Chief Lyon, Ottawa City Police, Staff

Sgt. Garth Hampson, Coun. Nancy Mitchell, Mohamed Hadi, President Somali-Cana- dian Cultural Association, Farah Mattan, V. P.,Somali- Canadian Cultural Association, Charles Kayazze, V.P. African Resource Centre, Lucilla Spigeblatte, Ottawa/Carleton Immigrant Service Organiza- tion & Beryl Gaffney, MP. Mr. Tom Graham, Manager of Loblaws (Alta Vista/Bank) donated a "Canadian Flag" cake and flowers.

Mr. Gary Smith, Principal of Ridgemont, summed up saying

Nancy Courtright, Head of Ridgemont Arts Dept & the students who created the multicultural mural & participated in the Citizenship Court ceremonies.

"we students and teachers at Ridgemont were very fortunate to witness the creation of 47 new Canadians today. These 'new' Canadians displayed great personal pride in becoming Canadian citizens and their pride had a positive effect on many of our students in attendance, who recently became citizens or are waiting eagerly to do so. The multicultural nature of our school provided an ideal setting for a Citizenship Court and we were very happy to be part of this experience."

We congratulate these dedicated students who have received an overall A average. It's no easy feat maintaining an A average. That's why we're proud to call these Glashan students our best!

BOOKS Arab liberation put into perspective By Sharon Abron Drache

SANDCASTLES THE ARABS IN SEARCH OF THE

MODERN WORLD By Milton Viorst Alfred A. Knopf,

414 Pages $32.50 (cloth) Both sides now is ironically

what this book is about. Ap- propriately called Sandcastles, by Milton Viorst (Middle East Specialist and author of numerous books), it initially addresses the fragility of mud- brick buildings in pre-World War I Mesopotamia which in- evitably fell prey to termites eating the timber, and weather eroding the mud. Apart from a few of these structures, little remains.

The sandcastle metaphor serves as key to the unresolved quixotic search for stability by several countries which Viorst has visited and studied exten- sively in his capacity as staff journalist for the New Yorker. They include: Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait and Jordan. One chapter is titled The Palestinians, reminding readers of the gruesome reality that these unfortunate Arabs still do not have their own homeland while Israel rests uncomfortably in hers. A chapter devoted to Turkey describes the pivotal role played by the Ottomans in shaping a warped concept of Arab nationalism.

Putting Arab liberation into perspective is Viorst's preoc- cupation. He has already dealt with Israel in a previous book Sands of Sorrow: Israel's Jour- ney from Independence (1987). His scope reached further with his 1989 publication, Reaching for the Olive Branch: UNWRA and Peace in the Middle East.

He explains how after four centuries of Ottoman rule, the division of the spoils by France and Britain perpetuated old mythologies and never gave nationalism a fair chance. Although Arabs claim to be fascinated by Western democracy, their religious and cultural baggage prevents them from embracing it.

It can be argued that Arabs entered the modern world as colonies of Europe who felt abandoned by the Ottomans and betrayed by the West. To this day the memory of the betrayals of France and Britain haunt the Arab psyche and

have been transferred willy nilly to the United States and Israel; in short, Arabs have never adjusted to the many transitions the twentieth century has imposed on them.

Viorst displays profound sympathy for this ancient people whose prophet Mo- hammed is both savior and op- pressor: Islam in its various incarnations adapted from the Koran prevents secular progress.

As a Jew, Viorst is impeccably respectful of the Islamic terri- tory on which he treads. Per- haps the high point of the book is his treatment of Iraq influenced by his understanding of how religion works in a country divided between dif- fering sects of Muslims.

When Nasserism flourished in the 1950's and Egypt flaunted pan-Arabism, securing its vision with Syrian uni- fication (1958), the Iraquis, whose monarchy had floun- dered since the end of World War II with Communism moving in as the best-organized civil institution, were ready for the rise of the Baath party of which young Saddam Hus- sein was a zealous member. The Baath party viewed itself as the nation's saviour To understand the bloodshed of those days, one must keep in mind that Iraq did not have a tradition of political dissent. Be- cause the Communists used killing and torture, the Iraqis responded with imitation. Throughout the 1970's Saddam Hussein moved Iraq away from Communist influence into his own version of paternalistic authoritarianism. With a secret police to control his people's true desires, he proceeded to help the poor and condemn the thoughtful. Viorst accounts for one man's dream for his people transforming into a dream for himself.

On the road to economic re- covery, Iraq adapted democracy as a code word for "Higher Arab National Inter- est," subscribed to by Hussein, until he was undermined by Iran and Kuwait, Russia, America and Israel.

Kuwait began flooding the world with oil, and no government, even Iraq, could sustain a one-third loss of in- come. Iraqis succumbed to Hussein's propaganda believ- ing there was a conspiracy to destroy them.

The Iran-Iraq war, "Iran- gate", and the subsequent invasion of Kuwait are window dressing for the complicated mixed loyalties which come and go as shifting as the sands of the Arabian desert, as frag- ile as the mud-brick homes of

pre-World War I Mesopotamia. Palestinians are undoubtedly

pawns in the Arab quest for liberation where freedom and democracy are veils for totali- tarianism. Islam reigns abso- lute, beyond any nationalistic, secular reality.

While the 20th century has taught the West that human rights and environmental issues are just as important as heavenly doctrine, the Arabs find themselves torn between ancient dogma and modern progress.

Palestinians who, like Jews, have been forced to move from country to country may have more in common with the Is- raeli "enemy" than their Arab compatriots. Like Jews, Pales- tinians are forging nationhood out of homelessness. As these two peoples struggle for a peaceful co-existence, they may well prove to offer a shin- ing example to their Arab neighbours.

Sharon Abron Drache's most recent book is the Golden Ghetto.

Y worker experiences life in India, continued take great pride in the appear- ance of their houses and small gardens and it was a treat for me to go around and judge the wonderful rangoli. Other programs implemented by the YMCA include 'Each one Teach one' where school children would teach adults and children basic literacy at night, 'Crèche' which is a daycare for children of working parents, 'Tailoring Centre' where women take a year long course in tailoring, and the introduction of appropriate technology such as smokeless chulas (stoves) and bio-gas systems.

Although my home base was Hyderabad I was able to visit the YMCAs in Delhi, Bangalore and Madras. In Bangalore I

taught aerobics at the YMCA's physical education college and worked with social workers in a slum area on an immuniza- tion and health education project.

I feel that I had a very 'real' experience of India because I

was able to see the diversity within the community. One day I was meeting the chief minister of Andra Pradesh (the premier of a province) and the next day I would be weighing babies at a crèche in a local village. When one normally thinks of India, images of bloated babies and great poverty appear, but there is so much more. I met a professor who described India very well, picture the latest rocket ship being pulled by a bullock cart to the launching pad and there you have India. India is a perplexing mixture of wealth and poverty, peace and violence, old and new, beauty and ugliness. I met some of the most giving and caring people that I am sure I will ever meet and they have sent me back to Canada with warm and rich feelings of India.

OBSERVATION POST Not Armageddon, but a warning

BY COURTNEY BOND

"In a sense, Earth is no longer orbiting peacefully about the Sun. Earth is careening toward the spiritual equivalent of a massive wall." So starts the concluding sec- tion of Global 2000 Revisited: What Shall We do? by Gerald O. Barney and others, a 1993 publication of the U.S. futurist think-tank, MillenniuM Insti- tute, Arlington, Va., full of warning for man.

Some will have Robert Ka- plan's apocalyptic report on Africa in the February 1994 issue of Atlantic Monthly, , or at least noted the two-page reply by M. Gee pooh-poohing it in the Globe and Mail, April 9. Gee in turn was ridiculed as a "Pollyanna" by eight corre- spondents in the same paper on April 16. The Globe and Mail plays down the danger we face. Why?

There is an answer, but no consolation, in the Barney work, referred to henceforth as G2000R. He wrote the Global 2000 Report to the President (Carter), in 1980, and went on to create a non-profit organi- zation that became the Mil- lenniuM Institute. The Chair- man of the Institute's Board of Governors is Ottawan Peter H. Aykrovd. His son, the actor Dan Aykroyd is a financial supporter.

An early draft of G2000R, was presented at a conference sponsored by the Council for a Parliament of the World's Re- ligions in Chicago, 1990. A later draft was studied at the Harvard Seminar on Environ- mental Values in 1992. "The Institute is nurturing a worldwide network of individuals and organizations that are planning to use the 1999-2000 period to encourage a major shift in human attitudes and institutional goals, a shift toward a sustainable future."

Carefully documented, G2000R, sums up our situation. May 1, 1994 - Glebe Report - 30

Over the last 70 years the world's population tripled. A drop in human fertility is necessary involving many factors, particularly religious and social, to stabilize the figure at about 12 billion in 100 years. There will be enormous diffi- culty in feeding this many. But it may not be possible to use enough petroleum to grow the needed food, either because there won't be enough remaining or the atmosphere may not be able to accommodate the resultant carbon dioxide. Only 22% of Earth's surface is tillable. Catch 22?

Other critical issues, such as AIDS, the return of tuberculo- sis, risk of nuclear accidents, global debt, migration of peoples, corruption, and drugs, complicate the situation. The South, with its much greater population, will dissolve into chaos -- as it is now going -- later followed by the North.

Can we work together to create the conditions necessary to stop population growth, to reduce the use of resources, to ensure civil order, health and education for people everywhere, to preserve soils and species, double agricultural yield without harming the ecosystem, convert to non- polluting energy sources, stop immediately the emission of chemicals destroying to ozone layer, bring equity between nations and peoples of North and South?

There is a widespread lack of awareness -- witness the Globe and Mail -- but people must be alerted. Progress, as we think of it, must be abandoned. We must learn to live with one another, with other creatures, and with the Earth. We are in danger. Instead of progress we find "all the biogeochemical systems essential for life on earth ... are now disturbed on a planetary scale." This situation was named in 1970 the "global problematique" (problematique global).

Petroleum geologists agree: the total amount of Earth's oil was 2,000 billion barrels. (Oil shale and tar sands are marginal). By the year 2010 about half of the oil remaining will be in the Middle East. The much-revered market mechanism has not reacted to the need for an alternative to the petroleum economy, partly because of the United Nations System of National Accounting (UNSNA) counting Gross Do- mestic Product (a misleading statistic), and because of an intrinsic fault in the market mechanism itself.

One effect of human activity

is the release of the substances known as "greenhouse gases." It is estimated that their accu- mulation will result in the average temperature of Earth rising by about 2.5° by 2100, bringing gross changes in weather patterns and significant flooding by the oceans.

The common refrigerants, chlorfluorcarbons, which are volatile, dissipate upwards, taking about ten years to reach the stratosphere. There they react with the ozone, each cfc molecule destroying 100,000 ozone molecules. Reduction in ozone protection permits more of the sun's cancer-causing ultra-violet B radiation to reach Earth, with dangerous effect on light-skinned people. We must expect significant losses of ozone until at least 2000. If the existing agreement is strengthened, if all countries agree and comply, the ozone layer might be repaired within about a century.

In addition to overpopula- tion, land shortage, environmental, health and global debt problems, the world faces a shortage of water in both quantity and quality. Conflicts are arising between communities and nations over water, land, oil and other resources.

CLINIC

Corruption has caused such countries as Zaire to collapse into chaos. Community is fail- ing in many regions of the world, refugees from many countries are fleeing, many to the North. Forty thousand in- fants and children around the world are dying daily of hunger and malnutrition. Nine-tenths of the world's people live in hopeless poverty. We, the one-tenth ignore what is happening to that nine-tenths.

Of a number of goals proposed for mankind the first is that we must see that a sustainable, just and healthy human development requires first a sustainable, just and healthy human relationship with Earth. Both North and South should work toward a clear- non-discriminatory body of international law and a continuing forum for global discussion. Dignified self-re- liance and independence must be fostered. The UNSNA must be replaced, agricultural research stimulated.

The North should stabilize its resource consumption and reduce the damage it is doing to the global life support systems of the Earth, provide debt relief and facilitate bodies like

the Commission for the South (described here in November 1990). It should accelerate its transition to a renewable energy economy, deal with its wastes within its own borders, use defence funds to invest in the South and reimburse the South for its, the North's dis- proportionate use of the Earth's resources.

The South should make primary and secondary education, especially for girls, compul- sory, give women access to opportunities in the labour market, maintain and strengthen family planning, provide effective legal guarantees of property rights and enforce- ment of contracts, decide on private and public insurance and pension programmes, al- leviate poverty, emphasize "human capital" formation, choose up-to-date technologies that conserve energies.

We earthlings are walking a path that becomes more and more perilous. Each year's delay in stabilizing population growth adds 90 million more to our numbers; we bum 20 billion barrels of petroleum, our endangered habitat loses 30,000 species; delay in stabilizing greenhouse gases brings more warming.

The momentum in our complex global systems, in this un- sustainable growth, will not be easy to stop. If braking actions are not taken in the next five to 10 years, we face an ecologi- cal crisis without any prece- dent. Yet we wonder if something so far outside the bounds of experience can really be happening. There is the ten- dency for us to believe that man is so intelligent he can conquer the global problematique. Many political and spiritual leaders and the general public are uninformed. Some doubters wonder if the problem is not too great.

Our instrument of development is the nation-state and our guiding philosophy has been the domination of nature. One of our subsidiary institu- tions is the corporation. Some have grown larger economi-

OBSERVATION POST cally than small nation states and have become difficult to control or regulate.

Most faiths accept the legitimacy of the existing development model. But it has failed, lost its legitimacy. The people of the South live far below the standards enjoyed by those of the North. The model has left half of the world's population, the female half, out of touch with progress. The Earth itself rejects the model. Man is only part of the biosphere. The two must coexist.

We have to rethink our model of development, "reexamine, reconsider and reformulate every human institution to ensure that it fosters and supports our first principle, a mutually enhancing relationship between the human species and Earth as an un- avoidable necessity for a mutually enhancing relationship among humans."

The premise of the sovereignty of the nation-state is absolutely false. Nation- states are interdependent. Relations between nations will require major revision. The right to wage war must be re- consiaerea ana alternatives, such as Gandhian non-violent citizen defence studied. Ag- grieved minorities must be heard. G200R wants multina- tional corporations to be in a mutually enhancing relationship with Earth in one to two decades.

The family is recognized as the primary school for teaching values. In it children learn from the example of the parents (and sometimes the parents from the children) "the difference between need and wants and the meaning of enough." They learn how men and women relate, how to be masculine or feminine, are taught either to hate, dispar- age and shun, or to love, ap- preciate and accept those who are different in faith, culture and race.

G2000R is a sweet, quixotic, excellently written document that faces our condition, explains our problems and -- as my next article will show, offers what seems to be a credi- ble way out for us.

KIDSPACE 3 Pet Stories Starring Hamsters & Cats

CHAPTER ONE THE NIGHT

Heather had a brown hamster named Henry. One night Henry had a party. Henry pulled his wheel out of his cage and out the door. Henry rolled his wheel down the street. There were millions of hamsters rolling down the street. Finally all the hamsters met at Heather's house!

There were wood shavings all over the place. All the wheels were everywhere. Cracked sunflower seeds were all you could see!

CHAPTER TWO MESS TIME

The next day when Heather woke up and saw the mess she knew it was clean up time! Heather had to clean up sunflower seed shells, shavings and other messes. Night after night, the same thing happened. They pitrtied, Heather cleaned, they partied and Heather clearied. Finally Heather stayed up one night 'and watched the room. It was silent and It struck midnight. 12:00 all the clocks said. Just when Heather was about to give up .... she heard a noise.

Four Talking CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

Hi! my name is Greg Snicker. I own two cats and I live with Mom. My father died of a stroke. I live at two houses, my mom's and my grandmother's and grandfather's farm. I am 8 years old and my father died when I was 4. I miss my father very much. I love cats. I have a girl cat called Dianna and a boy cat called Charles. I named them after the prince and princess because they look royal and they eat royally.

CHAPTER TWO MY CATS

Today when I came home from school I noticed something different.

Dianna and Charles didn't run to the door. Instead, Di- anna just sat there. I noticed something else. Dianna was fat in the tummy. I went up stairs and asked my mum if we were

feeding her too much. NO, we were hardly feeding her at all. I went up to Dianna and Charles and, not expecting an answer I said, "what's wrong with you?" Dianna said, "I'm pegnant-."- I was so surprised! I ran up the stairs saying "She May 1, 1994 --Glebe Report - 32

CHAPTER THREE ALNIOST

"Finally they came," Heather said, but it was only a branch tapping against the window. Heather walked up the stairs to go to bed when .... she heard lots of banging and crashing. Heather started to walk down the stairs and she saw the most neatest thing she ever saw!

CHAPTER FOUR "NEATO"

"All those hamsters and all those wheels" Heather said. Heather didn't know which hamster to pick up first. There were black hamsters, grey hamsters, multi-coloured hamsters. Luckily it was a weekend because Heather stayed up till 10:00 a.m. petting and picking up hamsters. When Heather's mum came down and saw all those hamsters she nearly fainted.

-CHAPTER FIVE PET SHOP

Heather's murritsaid "am I dreaming?" Heather scooped up all the hamsters and put them in 5 paper bags and brought them to the 5 pet shops and kept her favourite !!!

HENRY !!!

THE END

Cats talks, she talks!" When I finally got upstairs my mom asked "Who talks?" "Dianna talks." My mom said, "impos- sible." "She did," I said. "Comedown and I will show you."

CHAPTER THREE SURPRISE

My mom came down and I finally asked Dianna a question. I said, "Dianna and Charles, do you love me?" They both said "yes".

Two weeks later .... I ran home from school! When I

came in the door Dianna was having her last ,!! BABY!!

I was so excited! They were so cute. I raced upstairs to get a blanket. When I came downstairs Dianna was licking her babies and Charles was trying to keep Dianna warm. I put the blanket on them. I started to see the fur on them. They were so cute I can't begin explaining! I was so happy! There were 2 babies. The next day we got Dianna neutered. I was so scared when she had the operation. Lucky I didn't have to watch!

CHAPTER FOUR FOR SALE

The next day I had a sale. I

put up signs everywhere but nobody came. I was glad I

wasn't selling any. They are both girls. One is white. The other has spots. My mum wants to sell them, but I don't.

CHAPTER FIVE THE FARM

When it was my turn to go to

The Royal Hamsters

CHAPTER ONE One day there was a King and

Queen. They lived in a beautiful palace. They also had ev- erything a person could ever wish for, but what they really wanted was a daughter. One day the Queen was Sitting underneath a shady tree when a mouse came up and said "you are going to have a baby in a few weeks." But the Queen didn't believe the mouse so she patted the mouse goodbye and went into the palace.

CHAPTER TWO TWO WEEKS LATER ....

"I had a girl! I had a girl!" One day the King and Queen were walking around the palace. A witch came out and said to them. "When your daughter turns sixteen she will eat a candy and turn into a hamster. Ha! Ha! Ha! The King and Queen were scared out of their skin!

CHAPTER THREE 16 YEARS LATER

One day the daughter went out and found a candy and ate it! She turned into a hamster!

Meanwhile, the same story was happening somewhere else.

A prince ate a sweet and got turned into a hamster. They both tried to get back to their own palace. But they didn't have success. Then, when they were running, they bumped into each other. It was love at first sight. Now they had another problem, they were lost in a big field!

the farm I brought the 2 kit- tens and asked my grandpar- ents if they wanted them and they said "yes." I was so happy they had a good home!

THE END

,r..,

CHAPTER FOUR They decided which palace

they were going to go to easily because the prince's mother was terrified of small creatures. So they headed for the princess's palace. They were terrified to sleep outside that night. They went walking the next morning to look for the palace. The same mouse that had told the Queen that she was going to have a baby said to the princess, "You are very near the palace keep on walking." But of course they didn't believe the mouse so they walked in the opposite direction.

CHAPTER FIVE It was getting late! They

managed to go to sleep in the forest again but it was very hard to. The next morning they went looking for the palace.

!! GUESS WHAT !!

They found the palace that morning and went inside. The Queen saw them and said "Oh my goodness!" They knocked on every wizard's door but they couldn't change them back.

100 YEARS LATER One day when the prince and

princess were sleeping they had a funny feeling ... THEY WERE HUMAN!!

CHURCH NEWS The Religious Women of Blessed Sacrament parish

BY SISTER MARY TESKE Blessed Sacrament wishes to

acknowledge the presence of the Religious Women who live in our parish.

Congregation Romaine de Saint-Dominique, at 306.First Avenue is a residence for young girls. They are an international congregation working in many countries in the world. Two retired sisters are assigned to administer this house in the national capital maintaining an attitude of warm welcome.

With God's grace they live the "Today" in the joy of "Ser- vice": the life of the Gospel, uniting prayer, study, frater- nal love, and recreation.

The Religious Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, (F.M.M.) located at 268 Powell Avenue, is where the

training of young sisters takes place. There are five sisters living in the house who work in different areas and one young woman training to be a sister. The F.M.M. is an international missionary congregation of 8600 sisters involved in 76 countries.

The Grey Sisters of the Im- maculate Conception (G.S.I.C.) English branch of the Grey Nuns were founded by St. Mar- guerite d'Youville of Montreal. They are an international congregation working in Canada, Dominican Republic, and Bahamas. They have worked in the parish since 1927 and lived in the parish since 1960. At present there are five sisters living at 193 Fourth Avenue, three of whom are involved in the parish and two working elsewhere.
