By MICHAEL FRIEND

Ottawa South can take pride in the fact that Patty’s Place Pub has once , again come through as one of the driving forces behind the success of this year’s Help Santa Toy Parade.

Year long activities organized by Marty Hodgins and his staff at Patty’s Place, combined with the generosity of the residents in Ottawa South and the surrounding neighbourhoods resulted in a contribution of $16,000 to this yearV fund. When combined with the proceeds from the parade, a total of $60,0000 and 24,000 toys was collected.

This annual event is organized by the Ottawa Professional Fire Fighters Association with all money and toys being distributed by the Salvation Army to Ottawa’s less fortunate. -

Sid McLennan, the 1991 Parade Chairman, wishes to thank everyone who participated in or contributed to this years Toy Parade as it will "make a lot of kids happier this Christmas."

INTRODUCING A NEW ASSOCIATE EDITOR FOR OSCAR

Peter Hecht is a landscape architect by training and a physical and community development planner by experience, who is currently employed as a facility planner. He is particulary interested in environmentally-based, community physical planning as a means of improving currently used planning techniques.

Dear Editor:

I was surprised to find prominently displayed in your November issue, unedited, a letter from Stuart Averill attacking me personally in rather pejorative terms, and misrepresenting my views on Lansdowne Park.

The same appeared in the Glebe Report, to which I contribute regularly, and where I considered it fair game since readers had been exposed to my views and those of the Glebe Community Association as I had written them.

For the readers of Ottawa South, where a fair number of people know me, but where the Glebe Report and its contents do not generally circulate, some of the comments in the letter were entirely out of context. OSCAR should have edited out the more extreme comments, or alternatively given me a more satisfactory opportunity to respond, which I believe was formerly OSCAR’s practice in such cases.

In any case, whatever Averill’s or my views might be, the voters have now decided.

EDITOR’S NOTE

It comes as a surprise that Mr. McCarthy would consider the publication of an opposing view on Lansdowne development only fair game in the Glebe Report. The Lansdowne question is of interest to Ottawa South residents, of which a fair number read the Glebe Report. I apologize for offending Mr. McCarthy’s sensibilities for not contacting him prior to publication, in spite of knowledge of the Glebe Report’s plan to publish the same.

OSCAR will edit any submission when space is a consideration or when information contained in the article is in error. Spelling and grammatical corrections will also be made.

OSCA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

By PETER HECHT

The Ottawa South Community Association, affectionately known as OSCA, held it’s annual general meeting at the Firehall on 20 November 1991. About 50 stalwart residents attended and then enjoyed a reception afterwards where they had a chance to engage our new councillor and Carleton U’s director of public relations in conversation.

The meeting began with remarks by Donna Walsh on the state of OSCA and then she introduced councillor-elect, Jim Watson, who spoke at length on his ideas, aspirations and the issues which he sees as important to Ottawa South.

Some of these are the Rideau River Cleanup (fish from the river being more contaminated than those in Toronto Harbour), the student problem and the Housing Task Force, the university’s plans for expansion, the state of the community centre, the Perley Hospital and it’s site, the courthouse/detention centre, Billings Bridge shopping centre expansion, Brewer Park and a recent community safety audit.

Jim spoke with enthusiasm and with the hope that all these things could be tackled during his term of office since "megaprojects" are not on the agenda at City Hall. He has a feeling that this council will be trying hard to pull together instead of apart and to be more responsive to the needs of the citizens.

Mr. Watson is always ready to talk and discuss any issues and he would like to be accessible to all constituents. You can reach him at home at 14 Pansy or at his new office where the number is the same as the outgoing councillor.

Mac Harb, our federal member of parliament followed. He spoke briefly about what he has been doing, especially on literacy and education. He has published some papers on these issues and the next constituency newsletter will be outlining his concerns regarding the impact of immigration on social services in large cities, especially since the federal government is responsible for immigration policies but has not followed them with financial support, especially in education.

There was one question to Mr. Harb regarding the elimination of subsidies to transit in the National Capital Region to keep trans-border fares reasonable in particular since civil servant wages have been frozen. Mr. Harb was unaware of the situation and will look into this matter. Bonnie Ostler reported on the OPC (OSCA Program Committee) and it’s status. OPC is responsible for the implementation and operation of all programs for OSCA such as After 4, extra-curricular programs on evenings and weekends, summer programs and social events such as the music in the park. The big problem is adequate space, especially for the After 4 and the lack of teen programming. They are trying hard to come up with some way of meeting these needs. Tony McCormack delivered the treasurer’s report and showed that OSCA broke even this year.

Brian Eames delivered the OSWATCH report and touched on numerous items which will continue to affect the community. The zoning bylaw is old and out-of-date leaving us open to over-development. He mentioned that there is a chance that the group building concept may be re-incarnated as planned unit development (PUD), the latest draft of the traffic plan is ready, that the lane between Willard and West Coast Video will be closed and that the convent development is well ahead.

Brian also mentioned numerous other issues which need attention and announced the he and Donna Walsh are retiring from active duty. OSWATCH needs help and direction.

An OSCAR representative was not present so a announcement of changes was made by a board member. These changes will be announced in OSCAR itself. Elections (or acclamation) followed for the president treasurer, secretary and past president and directors. Since there were no more than one nomination for the officers and since the potential number of directors was not reached, everyone as nominated was elected. No dissent was expressed.

The guest speaker was Pat O’Brien, Director of Public Relations and Information Services for Carleton University. There are currently 21,000 full and part time students and it is estimated that by the year 2001 there may be 26,000, if a 2% growth rate is maintained. This may drop however, if the economy picks up and more people go to work instead of to school.

Work currently in process includes the recent doubling of library space, an advanced centre for engineering studies, an art gallery and two floors to the Hertzberg Physics building. Most of this work will be completed by mid 1992. There are future plans, depending on funding, for a full daycare centre on the parking lot west of the Athletic centre, a technology development building (2 or 3 stories) and some expansion of current buildings.

The other announcement made was that 1992 is the 50th anniversary of Carleton and that there are number of events planned to mark this anniversary. The public are invited to these events and a schedule will be available shortly. The evening ended with wine and cheese courtesy of the directors to keep expenses in line with the national economy. Next time don’t miss it. All residents are welcome to attend.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

I LOOK FORWARD TO

WORKING WITH YOU

COUNCILLOR’S COLUMN

By JIM WATSON Councillor, Capital Ward

I would like to begin my first column in our community newspaper by sincerely thanking the residents of Capital Ward for their support of my candidacy in last month’s municipal elections.

The campaign was a truly rewarding experience as I had the opportunity to meet thousands of people and the chance to listen to their concerns and comments on a wide range of issues.

Seeking public office at any level of government is never an easy task, especially these days when the public demands much of its elected officials.

It is my hope that I will be able to live up to your expectations, and it is my commitment to work diligently to serve all the residents of Capital Ward.

If I am going to be successful, I will need your help and guidance. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require assistance on a matter dealing with City or Regional Government.

I might not always be able to help, but I will try, and most importantly I will get back to you with a reply, whether it be positive or negative.

My City Hall office number is 563-1308, and my home number is 230-2235.

For correspondence, you may write to me at City Hall, 111 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, KIN 5A1. My fax number is 564-8412.

I want to also thank my three colleagues who also stood for election during the November 12 contest. Frank deJong, Michael Lynch and Lynn Smyth should be congratulated for running good campaigns and for putting their names forward.

I look forward to working with them and their supporters over the next three years as we come together for the betterment of our community and City.

Since the election I have had the pleasure of meeting with a number of community activists in an effort to listen to their concerns about what priorities should be addressed in the next few weeks and months. Donna Walsh, Past President of OSCA was particularly helpful in presenting her group’s priorities that include funding for After-4 programs; increased community centre space; more adequate lighting at Brewer Park and in the community as a whole; Rideau River clean up; Ottawa South traffic study; future development in our community; City plans for Brewer Park; and expansion plans for Billings Bridge.

These topics and many others will take up a good part of my activities at City Hall and Regional Council. I welcome your advice on these issues over the course of the next several weeks.

In January I hope to include a survey in this column that will ask you what you think of some of the major issues facing our community.

At the annual general meeting of OSCA a motion was passed asking me to begin the process of finding the necessary funds for new and expanded community centre space for Ottawa South.

Therfact that we have had to go outside our community centre for space for the After-4 program is proof that we are in need of expanded facilities.

I will be meeting with City staff to discuss the motion with an

eye to finding the funds to start the process, I will also work with fellow Councillors to convince them of the urgency of this project.

Over the course of the summer the City passed new regulations dealing with snow plowing on residential streets, and to put it mildly, the policy is bizarre and impractical.

The policy states that "once a forecast of 7 cms or more of snow has been received, parking on Regional and City streets will be prohibited between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.

The policy makes no sense whatsoever for a number of reasons:

1) Where do people park if there is a complete ban on street parking?

2) Which forecast becomes the authoritative one, and what happens if there are two or more conflicting forecasts?

3) What if it begins to snow after you have gone to bed?

As it stands now you can wake up in the morning and find a $20 parking ticket on your vehicle, whether you have permit parking or not.

I have already begun working with Councillor Diane Holmes to reverse this policy and resort back to the old policy that worked fine.

The former policy allowed people to move their cars based on a 12 hour plowing cycle your street would be plowed either between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. or 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. This would allow you to move your vehicle to a nearby street to avoid being ticketed or towed away.

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your family the very best as this special time of year.

This holiday season is often a difficult time for many in our community. Why not offer to volunteer for one afternoon or evening with an organization that would love to have your assistance as they try to make Christmas a little more special for those less fortunate.

Joyeux Noel...Merry Christmas... Happy Chanukkah.

"GIVE-A-KID -A-SKATE"

With temperatures plummeting and the preparation of outdoor rinks under way, our attentions will soon turn to outdoor winter fun.

"Little feet keep growing", is a thought on the mind of Ottawa Broadcaster, Brian Kelly, as he wonders about the children who can not afford skates.

Last year over 1,000 children in the region were able to enjoy the winter rite of skating thanks to the Christmas initiative, "Give-A-Kid-A-Skate" which was launched by Radio Station 54 Rock.

This year used skate donations are being accepted at 54 Rock, 1504 Merivale Road, Sport Experts locations and The Bay (Sports Departments at St. Laurent, Rideau and Bayshore Shopping Centres) until December 13th.

Kelly says all skates will be sharpened, newly laced and have a fresh toasty pair of socks tucked in prior to distribution to area needy.

"I guess a lot of people take it for granted that having a pair of skates is no big deal, but believe me, to see the joy on a kid’s face in getting a pair of skates as a result of the public’s generosity, is a big deal to them", explained Kelly.

CHOICES

By MICHAEL FRIEND

The other night a friend and I dropped into a large convenience store on the Ottawa South stretch of Bank Street to buy a bottle of Coca Cola. We were quite surprised to find a very limited stock of soft drinks at room temperature in returnable 750 ml glass bottles.

The display coolers were being used exclusively for soft drinks in cans, non-returnable 500 ml glass bottles and 2 L plastic (PET) bottles.

Since the cans and small bottles were too small for our purposes and the 2 L plastic "PET" bottles were too large (with the environmental concerns of PET bottles also playing a part in our choice, see accompanying article), we opted for a warm 750 ml glass bottle.

When we inquired at the check out as to the reason for the lack of chilled soft drinks in returnable bottles, we were told by the store’s staff that "they" (Coca Cola Ltd.) had requested that the returnable bottles not be sold from the coolers.

The Coca Cola Ltd. Sales Office in Ottawa deny any such policy and informed me that the display practices are determined by the vendor.

What ever the reason for this lack of choice in soft drink containers we will be on the look out for local shops which give us the choice we want.

PLASTIC POP BOTTLES AND YOU

The multi-million dollar soft drink industry is an active member of Ontario Multi-Material Recycling Inc. (OMMRI) and has made contributions in excess of five million dollars to support blue box and other recycling programs in Ontario.

Soft drinks are produced in returnable, refillable bottles and recyclable cans, both of which are sold at a comparable price to the 2 litre plastic bottle (PET) which is also used to contain the same product. The soft drink industry continues to encourage residents to purchase their product in a container which is not readily recyclable across Ontario. However consumers are assured it’s OK, as this is the same industry which makes financial contributions to blue box programs.

Is this really the answer? Again we are relying on recycling to resolve our waste problem. Next time your purchase soft drinks why not consider the following:

(l)Glass or soft drink containers are refilled by the manufacturer 10 to 12 times before being recycled, reducing the input of energy and natural resources in the manufacturing of new bottles.

(2)Recycled glass and tin are used to produce new glass bottles and cans, truly completing the recycling loop.

O’)Where PET is recycled, the recycled plastic is used to make other plastic products and not PET bottles again, resulting in non- renewable resources being used to manufacture new PET bottles. ED note: Ottawa’s ”Blue Box" program does not currently include the recycling of plastics.

While other plastics are more difficult to avoid, the questions you should ask yourself still apply, is the product available in another package ? Can the package be reused? Is the package currently recyclable in your blue box program (i.e. glass, aluminum or steel containers)? When you can answer any of these questions with a resounding "yes" then and only then should you feel good about your purchase.

Never underestimate the power you have as a consumer. Boycotting products you don’t believe in can bring about change, especially if you personally inform your store manager and manufacturing companies of your concerns. Together we can make a difference!

The Environment Pages Ottawa South

OUR PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

The world we live in is our physical environment. As everyone knows, particularly after so many years of haranguing by people ranging from the academic to the sensationalist, we are rapidly heading into environmental trouble. If we believe the academic, we might have a chance. If we listen to the sensationalist, it is only by a miracle the our world will not decay into a place only fit for the hardy cockroach.

By now, most of us practice "greening" in many small ways and perhaps in some big ways too. Many of us are using composters, paper bags, thermos bottles and footpower, when we can. These are the easy parts. It is more than just a matter of saving what we consume. It is of utmost importance that we learn to treat the space we occupy with a softer touch. To paraphrase, we are borrowing a place on the earth for a short period of time but we leave our children to inherit our work.

We live with what our forebears left us. We are trying to cope with the physical environment upon which we depend for our daily life. In our community, roads, sewers and water pipes, buildings and houses were built, for the most part, by those who came before. The holes where trees used to grow and rivers used to run are also part of the physical environment we have been left to inherit.

What has never been widely understood is that much of the physical environment is affected for an extremely long time by the building of those things which make up a city. Roads and pipes have an effective lifespan measured in centuries. Pipes and roads for the most part, are replaced as needed and in the same place due to cost constraints. Roads and services in London, bombed in WW2 and Tokyo, destroyed by an earthquake, still follow the same paths as their predecessors. How much is shade worth, how much a pleasant view? How much energy should we save by planting trees to break the wind? It would appear that it is impossible to change or replace those everyday things which regulate and bring comfort to our lives since we have not yet placed a monetary value on the ameliorative powers of the natural environment. At the moment, we seem to want to live in the past.

So, where does this leave us? We must work to ensure that our community is understood and planned to meet the future, before things are done to it which will never be able to be changed even when it is common knowledge that they are wrong. These things are coming and we must find ways to ensure that Ottawa South is not adversely affected.

Over the next few months, this environmental page will try to find out about and to look at some of the developments which will impact on Ottawa South such as the twinning of the Bronson Bridge, the potential for converting the driveways along the canal into dual, one-way through roads, building plans at Carleton University, plans for Brewer Park. The new Official Plan for Ottawa will also be looked at and some of the ideas it contains for improving Ottawa South. Ideas and input from the community is a necessity, so please forward your ideas, rumors, data and material.

Peter Hecht is an Associate Editor for OSCAR and will be writing on environmental and healthy community matters. Questions and materiel may addressed to him, c/o OSCAR


The Environment Pages Greening Ottawa South

How Green is Ottawa South? Where Can We Start?

How Green is Ottawa South? Does it really matter? I suppose that most of us have had our experience in trying to ensure that the many reasons why we are living here. In most cases it has been one of frustration. We are suffering from increasing traffic, noise pollution shared by those who are generous with their high-powered audio systems, visual pollution, lack of maintenance of public facilities, increased costs to use our already paid for public amenities and on and on. And of course with trying to get City Hall to do something about all these and other problems is perhaps the most frustrating.

As individuals, we can start to think about how we would like to see Ottawa South change. What we like about it, what we would change and some of the ways this might be done are the start. Write down these things and start to work them into ideas. Discuss these ideas with your neighbors and find out who else is interested in them as well. Once we have a better idea of what it is which makes Ottawa South the place it is and might be, we can set up groups of people who can work on starting a Healthy Community Project.

What does Ottawa South mean to you? How can you get to what you want? How can we generate an atmosphere of positive change from current, departmentalized, organizational thinking to a more holistic approach? Ironically, we could be saving money or conversely, doing more with the same amount. But until we know the whole story, these benefits won’t be evident.

Healthy Communities

In the meantime, let’s start to look around us and make plans for the next year. What can we do about our community to make it better? Remember, a healthy community is not just a green community. We need to look at things such as street lighting and getting improvements to dark corners, power lines on Bank Street and Sunnyside and all the other streets where trees are massacred to protect those precious but aging power lines, identifying empty tree planting spots, better planning for Brewer Park so that it is an inviting community park not parking lot, improving traffic flow and patterns for safety and so on. If You Are Interested

If you are interested in helping Ottawa South become a Healthy Community and a better place, you can start right now. Get out your notebooks and start making notes. Send in these ideas and we’ll start incorporating them into articles and as messages to our elected representatives. Start networking with your neighbors and friends. If there is interest we can get people together to start some activities. Interest has already been expressed in arranging events such as environmental film nights.

For those who can’t wait, there are a number of organizations which are involved in Healthy Communities activities:

• Citizen’s Greenprint Committee of Ottawa Carleton 810, 150 Kent Street Phone: 567-1702

There is a movement getting going called Healthy Communities. This is a continuation of the Healthy Cities Project which is taking place in many countries of the world to try to find a way of what we would call the greening of a community. The Healthy Community movement considers that a Healthy Community is one in which the physical, mental, social, environmental and spiritual is considered at all times. That is, that all public policy decisions and actions are made in a holistic way which considers all these factors rather than just one. This means that cost or political expediency cannot become the overriding factor just because one department has responsibility for the job.

But this movement is just beginning. The Healthy Community concept must become a part of all municipal activity by all staff. We are going to have to help, even insist that our representatives and their staff become aware of and versed in environmentally sound practices and procedures. We are not alone. The Region is starting to look at the concept themselves and will be going out to interested groups and individuals for ideas, input and then projects. Since it is a concept of considering the whole community, the community will have to act as the focus for the project. These projects have been working all across Canada, so there is plenty of support and precedence to look at. But it will only work when the community gets involved.

This group has produced a "Greenprint" for the future of the movement in the Ottawa Carleton region. They have started a roundtable on the environment and welcome participation in a number of working groups on various aspects of the environment.

the enthusiastic support of many

mothers and fathers, the trip was an

easy and relaxed affair. We found

some of the children well informed,

they could teach us about the huge

Suzanne Lowther McVeigh’s

music lessons are now in progress.

The children enroled in the program

eagerly look forward to their

Wednesday class.

Denise and Noelle are both

introducing French songs and simple

French words during circle time.

The children look baffled to begin with, but then happily join in and

participate. It makes circle time

interesting and lively.

We are looking forward to

the snowy season, and to the festivities that go with it. A walk in

the snow some sunny day will be enjoyable for all.

A few more children can

still be accommodated. Our school’s

of the pioneer era through the extravagance of a Victorian Christmas to the commercialism of the 1960’s and 1970’s. For children and their parents there will be a Christmas ornament workshop while the history buffs can enjoy a historic photograph and artifact Christmas quiz, complete with prizes. Christmas carollers will also be on hand and everyone is encouraged to sing along to their favourite carols.

For the hardy there will be snowshoe tours around the grounds and also outside, the public is invited to help decorate and light our evergreens. Hot chocolate, hot cider and other festive treats will be available.

The Museum is open from noon until 5:00 p.m., with an admission charge of $2.00 and is located on Cabot Street off Pleasant Park, near Riverside Drive. For more information call Kevin Kitchen at 564-1363.

Growing to Serve You The Ottawa Board of Education is growing to meet the educational challenge. With new programs, equipment and schools, we are providing students with the tools they will need to be contributing members of society.

Donna Belanger, Principal, Churchill Alternative School

Churchill Alternative School The Board decided in the fall of 1989 that the Churchill Alternative School building, 345 Ravenhill Avenue, be replaced. A new building was planned which was carefully located on the old site to best utilize the limited site area and maximize the play- ground area while providing a modem school facility. Churchill opened its doors on September 3, 1991. Three hundred and forty-six students are presently

enrolled in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6.

Sherrill Ryan, Principal, Grant Alternative School

Grant Alternative School Grant Public School, 2720 Richmond Road, closed in June 1988 and opened again in Septem- ber 1991 to take the overflow of students from Churchill Alternative School. The school opened its doors with 135 Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 students in September to help accommodate

the rapidly expanding alternative program.

Ross Maxwell, Principal, Robert Bateman Public School

Robert Bateman Public School The new school located at 1250 Blohm Drive is designed as a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6 Dual-Stream Pro- gram with a student capacity of 600. A day-care facility is also available. Construction was completed at the end of December 1990 and classes began in the new building in January 1991.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING IN OTTAWA SOUTH

By M. D. PAVELICH

The recession threatens to dampen the Christmas spirits of Canadian retailers, but some Ottawa South shopkeepers say they’re optimistic, hoping to attract shoppers with unique gift ideas, lower prices and an accent on service.

Fred Baldwin, owner of Baldwin House Antiques at 1115 Bank St., says retailers must work harder to attract buyers in tough times because buyers are also working harder, looking for bargains.

"Everything has slowed down," he explains. "But people are still out there wanting maximum dollar value. Sometimes they even have to make a career out of shopping. "

"And that’s why I promote the benefits of used or antique furniture. For every dollar a customer spends in my shop, he gets five dollars worth of value. We’ve even gained new customers because of the recession."

Baldwin’s shop, which is in the heart of Ottawa’s antique district, specializes in mahogany furniture. He says many shoppers avoid new diningroom or bedroom sets when money is tight, prefering instead the craftsmanship and style of antiques.

"And for Christmas gifts there’s a whole range you can spend," he adds. "There’s no need to be pretentious...Instead of a diningroom set, you can start with with silver, china or Victorian lace. "

Like Baldwin, other antique dealers on Bank St. tout their distinctive choices for holiday gift-giving.

"We have beautiful, wonderful old coverted gas and oil lamps," says Kay Hills, a sales clerk at Yardley’s Antiques. "And 20 different hand-carved wooden geese and swans... We even have a life-sized papier mache cow wearing an old straw hat looking for a good home at $395."

But some retailers hope shoppers, bored with mall options, will be lured by new wave alternatives like En Equilibre’s snowboarding excursion, a day of pampering including a makeover and light lunch with champagne from

Atlantis Beauty Spa or Savannah Groceteria’s hand-sized cymbals, ideal for Lebanese dancing.

Elaine Vacher is the general manager of Tallmire’s Fashion which has been on Bank St. for more than 50 years. She says stocking items the chain stores don’t carry is integral to running a clothing store in the South End.

"We always have things different from the mall stock," she explains. "Our customers have come to expect this. We carry Canadian and European clothes in an array of colors and we’re very picky about our manufacturers."

Personal service and attention to details like never running out of gift boxes at Christmas are other ways of beating the malls and the recession, Vacher adds.

"But the turnaround is slow this recession," she says. "The government says it’s over, but it’s hard to see it. Honestly, I don’t hope for an increase this year. I’ll be happy if we do what we did last year."

And meanwhile, an Angus Reid-Southam News poll reported in November that 42 of 100 Canadians promised to spend less on yuletide purchases than a year ago.

Rudolph Duschner, owner and tailor at Rudolph’s Tailor Shop for more than 30 years, fears the strong dollar will make Ottawans shop in Plattsburg, New York this Christmas.

He says he still hears of resentment of the public service employee wage freeze, the rise in the cost of living by more than five per cent in 1991 and the seven-per-cent goods and services sales tax.

"I’m lucky I have been here for a long time," he adds. "I have a well- established clientele who like to come in to support me and shoot the breeze a little.

"But many stores won’t be able to hold out after a tough Christmas and people cross-border shopping. It’s too bad really. They should at least stay home to shop.

"Maybe I’m old-fashioned. I figure I make my money here and I should invest it back into the community. It’s simple. "


By M. D. PAVELICH

Are you tired of shopping mall sameness? Perhaps, the crowds with their pushing and shoving bother you. Or are you having trouble finding a Christmas gift for your hard-to-please aunt Petula and uncle Vladimir?

There’s no need to catch the number 7 bus to the Rideau Centre nor flee south of the border to do your shopping. No, you don’t even have to leave the neighbourhood.

More than 40 businesses line Bank St. between Landsdowne Park and Billings Bridge, making it one of Ottawa’s most vibrant and interesting shopping districts.

Below you’ll find OSCAR’s list of 30 shops in seven categories with a few gift ideas or things to watch out for while shopping on Bank St. This is not, however, an exhaustive list. That would take all the fun out of the great holiday gift hunt.

But remember, in 1991, just about everybody sells gift certificates for Christmas.

—Antiques, Art and Collectibles

The Bank St. shopping district is best known for its antiques. If expensive or large gifts are impossible this year, look for trendy items like odd glass and pottery, sterling silver and small pieces of Victorian jewellery. Hockey cards, comic books and other collectibles might be good ideas for the kids.

COMMUNITY COFFEE HOUSE HUGE SUCCESS

By THE HOUSE BAND

Something was definitely brewing Friday, November 22 at the Old Firehall! To a capacity crowd, the community centre cooked to the toe-tapping music performed by lots of eclectic, amateur musicians. The success of the evening was due to the spectacular group effort of neighbourhood volunteers and musicians, and the response of an enthusiastic audience.

The main hall was transformed into a lively coffee house complete with a colourful backdrop by Kim Barclay, multicoloured lighting, a full sound system, candles and paper table cloths with crayolas for all. The diversity of age groups and musical styles represented made this community event a real hit.

MUSIC AT TRINITY

BY Brian Cameron

During the month of December, there will be two special musical events at Trinity Anglican Church that will appeal to the Ottawa South community.

The first is an Advent Carol Service on Sunday, December 8, at 7:00 p.m. This is a beautiful service of readings and music • which is very symbolic in nature. It begins in darkness and candlelight, and with each reading the lights are brightened until the church is filled with light, reflecting the coming joy of the Christmas season. Advent carols have a somewhat different flavour than the more popular Christmas carols, being more introspective and contemplative. Hence the combination of Advent readings and carols can make a good way to start ,your Christmas celebrations off with a bit of inner reflection and meditation. A freewill offering will be taken at the service, which will be followed by a reception.

Then, on Monday, December 16, at 7:30 p.m., there will be a special Christmas concert geared for the whole family, "An Olde Fashioned Christmas". The program will include seasonal favourites, such as selections from the "Nutcracker Suite", played by the Divertimento Orchestra; Christmas music sung by the Trinity Choir; organ Noels; and

a great carol sing-along. A reception will follow the concert. Admission will be by ticket: $8 adults; $5 for seniors/students; $20 for families. Tickets will be available from members of the Trinity Choir and the Divertimento Orchestra, as well as at the door. You can reserve yours by calling the Trinity Church Office at 733-7536.

Trinity Church is located at 1230 Bank Street (at the comer of Cameron) in Ottawa South.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

By REVEREND STEWART HEWLETT

While driving down to Savannah, Georgia with my friend, Wes, a couple of weeks ago, he brought a bag of magazines with him, which included a number of issues of the "New Yorker". As I read through some back issues, I noticed a church from Philadelphia had written a letter to the editor informing the magazine of a "famous typo" they had made a few years ago. The story read: "Several years ago, as we were beginning to work for more inclusive language in hymns and prayers, we printed in our worship bulletin the words for "God Rest You Merry Gentlefolk". One verse was printed with a letter misplaced in one word. We had it: "to save us all from Santa’s power, when were gone astray".

My chuckles and the New Yorker’s interest point to something deeper than a mix-up; they reflect our intuition that we are trapped in Santa’s power". Santa is a powerful symbol for the way in which secular Canadian life has taken up and almost taken over the Christian holiday. Santa can also serve to represent the commercialization of Christmas with its pressures for acquisition.

"Santa’s power" indeed!

Nevertheless, a chuckle is the right response, rather than a groan. Their "typo", you see, was deeply accurate in one more way. The "powerless babe of the manger" does have the strength to "save us all from Santa’s power".

For me, that means taking advantage of the marvellous opportunities to join with our Southminister community in worship this season. The grounding in faith and the lift of joy I find there are just the antidote I need to ward off the assaults of the commercial Christmas. Our traditional rhythm in this season puts special features in our morning worship and holds several extra services. That may represent a deep awareness that we need more than the usual amount of antidote.

So if you see me smiling at some odd time during the Christmas Eve communion, you’ll be able to guess what I’m remembering. Maybe you’ll even join me in rejoicing in the coming again of the one who can "save us all from Santa’s power when we might go astray".

As we enter the festive season it is a time to remember friends and acquaintances who have been helpful over the past year. This is particularly true for me because of 1991 being an election year and the assistance I received in my bid to be re-elected to the Ottawa Board of Education. Many people helped in a variety of ways, flyer distribution, displaying of posters and lawn signs, monetary donations, etc., etc.

It all added up to a successful campaign. I am grateful and will endeavour to represent in a caring and efficient manner not only Ottawa South, Centretown and The Glebe, but the system as a whole. We are facing an uncertain future in Canada/Ontario generally and Ottawa specifically. It will truly be a challenge to deliver quality programs at a reasonable cost...not an easy balance with an expected erosion of the tax base. It is my intent to keep you well informed.

Thank you for your support. Our family wishes your family the best in the coming year.

OPERATION TREESAVE

By CAPITAL REGION RELEAF

An old Fine’s Flowers nursery site has been sold and is scheduled to become a housing development in the next couple of years. Approximately 20,000 trees (consisting of healthy and vigorous young Red and White Pine, Larch, Green Ash, and Birch) are still on this land and unfortunately are slated for the bulldozer. However, with a little effort, planning and commitment, these trees can be saved and transplanted across our region. We at "Capital Region Releaf", are going to take the initiative and make saving these trees our first project - "Operation Treesave".

Capital Region Releaf was recently founded by the group of people who were formerly responsible for Earth Day in Ottawa. This group brings many years of experience in community involvement, events management and fundraising to this project.

The overall goal of this organization is to increase the population of urban trees throughout the Ottawa Region. Urban trees across North America are not being replaced at the rate that they are dying. In the years of Dutch Elm Disease, hundreds of thousands of our urban trees died and were never replaced.

"Operation Treesave" is vital to the air quality and beauty of the capital region. Destruction of these trees, on the other hand, will not only result in a loss of benefits described above, but the bulldozing and burning of these trees will have

a dual negative effect on the surrounding environment since carbon dioxide will be released.

This project will begin In September, 1992, and remaining trees will be moved in 1993. A team of committed volunteers will dig, ball and burlap the trees on the old nursery site in preparation for planting. Interested community groups will plant these trees in street-tree situations, in parks, and in designated green spaces on weekends in September, 1992. In addition, individuals will be able to purchase appropriate sized Birch trees for their homes.

Interested community tree- planters will pick their own locations to be planted, in cooperation with their local city. The cities of Ottawa, Nepean and Gloucester are targeted for fall planting in 1992. Each will have a team leader who will act as a liaison between groups and the city.

Unfortunately, not only do we need to transplant these trees, we also need to purchase them from the present developer. Therefore, fundraising will be an integral part of this project.

WE NEED YOU!!...to be on our special events team, on our publicity team, on our fundraising team, on our working board of directors, to plant the trees, and assist us in many other ways. If you or your community group are interested in any of the above, please call 234-7817. Our first volunteers meeting will be on January 15th, at the Ottawa-Carleton Centre, 111 Lisgar Street in Ottawa, at 7:30 p.m. See you there!

mi SHR33HIE ffl GO EARLY FINANCIAL VOYAGE A G.HOWAR FERGUSON EDUCATION FORESTRY STATION, KEMPTVILLE

During the month of October the Grade two and three classes at St. Margaret Mary’s School received an early education in finances. The unit was called "Money" and to enhance this unit, Mme Smith decided to have a sale in the classroom. Toys, books and jewellery were donated for this business venture.

The children each brought a maximum of two dollars to school one Tuesday and the sale began. The children had to decide what they could afford after looking at the prices and decide whether they really would put the article to use and be pleased with it. It was a day of decision!

Once the sale was over the children gathered together and discussed how much they had spent, how much money they had left over, and in three cases, how much was put on lay away.

The class earnings from the sale amounted to $11.75 and were used for a trip to the Fresh Fruit Company to purchase an apple for each student. This left $7.10 for another venture at a later date.

The highlight of the unit, however, was the following week when the children were invited to the Toronto Dominion Bank on Bank Street during Customer Appreciation Week. They were taken on a grand tour of the bank by Mr. Kelly, the Manager. They eagerly entered the vault, learned about opening accounts, saw safety deposit boxes, watched the mechanics of the Green Machine, and even got to hold and inspect

SUCCESS!

The St. Margaret Mary’s School annual "Book Fair" was another winner. On Wednesday, November 13, we had a book sale that was a pleasure for everyone. Children were able to buy books that they really wanted and parents were able to get an early start on their Christmas shopping. Teachers, as well, got an opportunity to purchase books that they wanted to add to their own personal collections.

Thank you to all the people who participated in making the book fair the success that it was.

large bills. Following the tour the

children were treated to juice and donuts, a welcome treat. They were also given pencils as a souvenir. The next day the children designed posters which were displayed at the Toronto Dominion Bank.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Kelly for such an informative tour, and to Mrs. DaSilva for organizing our visit.

S K AND J K HARVEST SOUP

Thanksgiving was a busy time for the Senior Kindergarten class at St. Margaret Mary’s School. As the autumn progressed, they were learning about harvest, as well as learning the names of vegetables in French. On Wednesday, October 9, the children peeled and chopped vegetables which were used in making a Harvest Soup. They worked busily in the staff room in eager anticipation.

The following day, the Senior and Junior Kindergarten classes joined together for a harvest feast. They had homemade soup, crackers and raw vegetables to eat. They talked about the early Thanksgivings, discussed what they were thankful for and what they were doing on the Thanksgiving weekend. It was a wonderful way to begin the Thanksgiving holiday.

Les eleves de la cinquième et de la sixième annee sont ailes visiter une station forestière le 22 octobre 1991. Ce voyage a ete formidable pour les enfants. Nous avons appris le role important de la foret sur notre vie quotidienne.

Nous avons visite les serres ou ils font pousser les nouvelles repousses et des façons qu’ils améliorent la qualité des arbres afin qu’ils soient plus résistants aux maladies et qu’ils poussent plus vite.

Nous avons vu des grands champs ou au printemps ils

replantent ces petits plantes et aussi la machinerie qu’ils utilisent pour faire ces plantations.

Ensuite nous nous sommes promenés dans une foret et nous avons participes a une chasse aux trésors. Durant cette chasse aux trésors, nous avons vu la difference entre une foret naturelle et artificielle.

Avec l’autobus nous avons fait le tour de toute la station. C’était une belle journée enrichissante. Nous espérons y retourner l’an prochain.

THE HAUNTING OF HOPEWELL

By NORMA STANSBURY

Weird, wonderful and wacky were the catchwords of the day as Hopewell celebrated Halloween - from witches to warlocks, ghosts to goblins, Frankensteins to Freddies (Kruger that is) - all were seen wandering the hall ways which had been decorated with haunted houses, enchanted forests and plenty of pumpkins.

Celebrations started early, as students entering the school were treated to haunting special effects over the P.A. system. Mr. Langdon, the principal, continued the fun by making all his announcements as Count Dracula.

In the morning there was a Halloween Assembly for the Primary grades, M.C.’d by Meaghan Scanlon and Tony Sproul who introduced Mrs. Thompson’s grade three class reciting a Halloween Tale, Mrs. Fleury’s grade two’s performing a song, Mrs. Doyle’s grade four’s giving a Halloween Serenade to the tune of a well-known Christmas carol and Mrs. Smirle’s SK class singing three short numbers. Mrs. Myscouhg’s students gave an entertaining and informative lesson on Halloween safety, and student Allison Williams recited a Halloween poem.

The closing act was a play written and performed by the Library Assistants called "The Spirits of Halloween are not really what they seem". Anna Calvert played the Baby Pumpkin Princess,

Caitlin Peeling her mother, the Pumpkin Queen, Margaret McCarthy the Court Jester, Meaghan Scanlon the Sorceress, Amy Scanlon the Phantom and Tony Sproul the Grim Reaper. This entertaining cast gave a second performance in the library for the afternoon Kindergarten classes.

Smaller celebrations were held in classrooms throughout the day, and we caught sight of Mme. Evermann’s class enjoying some great-looking Halloween cakes and cookies while being entertained by the local "fou du roi".

Later in the afternoon a Halloween dance was organized by Student Council for the Intermediate students. Dusty Johnson was D.J. and a cut-rate entrance fee was offered to anyone in costume. Rumour has it that the Grade seven boys outdanced everyone there!

SPORTS BEAT

By TYLER WOYIWADA

October was Hopewell’s lucky month with sports teams placing well in the four events they participated in.

Starting with girls touch football, they won two games and lost two games for a third place finish. On the team were Jennifer Pouliotte, Natasha Walker, Cassie Seaborn, Anne MacDonnell, Lisa O’Connor, Jenny Lochheed, Emily Depew, Shanley Marsh, Linsey Bennet, Carley McQuaig and Angela Strange (Quarterback).

The tournament was played at J.H. Putman on the twenty-fourth of October. Jenny Lochheed accounted for most of the points. She also kicked the winning point in the last play of the first game to give Hopewell a 1-0 victory. Linsey Bennet got two interceptions and Natasha blocked several touchdown passes.

In the bantam girls, Wendy Jermyn was first, Andrea Croll placed fourth, Angela Strange came in sixth and Monica Dingle was eighth. In the intermediate boys category, Paul Osepchuck was fourth and Samuel Hubert came in seventh. In the intermediate girls category, Katie Kirby took the number three spot.
