Herb & Spice Closes BY INEZ BERG

On the afternoon of Monday,

October 29, a number of Glebe residents and other

customers in the Herb and Spice shop received an un-

pleasant surprise. Ottawa Police arrived to ask them

to leave the store.

Owner, Jeff Sugarman was also required to leave, after which the doors were locked and a Notice of Dis-

tress posted by a bailiff on

behalf of the landlord, Briland Development. It re-

quested that rent owed be

paid within five days. In the following week res-

idents expressed shock and disbelief that such a popular, well established Glebe

For those of you who don't recognize her, it's Cathie Buchanan, the Glebe Community Centre Director.

But not for long. Cathie will bid a lot of sad children and adults farewell on November 19. Her time with us has ended, and she will be moving on to the more challenging position of Facility Manager at Jack Purcell Community Centre. There she will be responsible not only for the operation of the community centre and its programs, but the Senior's Programs and the operations of the Pool.

all be sorted out and the

store re-open were dashed

when the notice of distress

was_replaced with one declar-

ing bankruptcy. That was

followed by signs announcing

a half-price sale on merch-

andise and goods in the

store to be held Wednesday,

November 7th.

The Glebe Report has been

unable to reach Jeff Sugarman

for his comment.

Many Glebe residents are

saddened at the closing of

this store which was an

integral part of the com-

munity. Many local business

people are wondering what

business may be next.

If you don't think someone who'd wear a "fwivowous wabbit suit" to the office can do it, think again. Those who have worked with Cathie during her three year term here know that her characteristics of thor- oughness and good humour have achieved a very positive balance in the programs and the operation of the Centre. She is going to be missed by us all. Though she's looking for-

The annual 'Come Sing Messiah" will be held this year on Friday December 7

at the Glebe Community Cen- tre, 690 Lyon Street. This popular event was initiated in 1978 by John Churchill, Chairman of the Music Depart- ment, Carleton University. Since 1988 it has been organized by CAMMAC (Canadian Amateur Musicians / Musiciens amateurs du Canada).

Those who come every year are famiiiar with the evening's format - rehearsal at 6:00 p.m. and a short break, followed by a 'per-

formance' at 8:00 p.m. Rem- ember to bring your own music score. The choir and orchestra (the 'Divertimento Orchestra - founded in 1983) will be conducted by Gordon Slater. Soloists will include Carla Sved (soprano), John Whyte (ten- or) and Duncan Schutthe (bass).

Though she won't be here for the changes Cathie will always be welcome to come

back and visit all her friends.

The Centre's new Director will be Sharon Plumb. Sharon is an Ottawa South resident who comes to us

from the Adapted Unit of the Recreation Branch. Welcome to the Glebe

Community Centre Sharon, and welcome to the Glebe!

Come Sing 'Messiah' This year it will be nec-

essary to buy a ticket in order to attend (either as singer, or audience) -

unfortunately necessary because fire regulations limit the number of people in the Main Hall to 420. In past years efforts to limit the number attending have been unsuccessful. Tickets ($3.00) will be available at the Glebe Community Cen- tre, and aiso at Counter- point Classics prior to

the event. Any remaining ones will be on sale at the door. To ensure your partici- pation in this popular event, we recommend that you purchase your ticket before December 7.

OPINION Another Skydome in the making?

BY: JIM McCARTHY

Reports that the City of Ottawa is looking at joint venture approach to

their Lansdowne mega-project, paired with the re-

cent news from Toronto about the financial situation of the Skydome, raise some

interesting and potentially frightening parallels. The Skydome fiasco,where

a joint public-private en- terprise resulted in the public taxpayer taking all the risks and ending up with a $300 million debt, is

only another example of the penchant of governments in Canada for ending up at the losing end of such "joint" ventures. Nobody seems to learn the lesson that if something is a good

LETTERS Boy apologizes to Glebe Editor, GLebe Report:

Sometimes in our life our children do something CO

disappoint us. Often done without thinking, the con- sequences are not the best. Recently my son and his

friend whose names I shall leave unmentioned, agreed to deliver flyers for a local business. Unfortunate- ly their actions caused a great deal of discomfort for the owner and staff, as well as some Glebe residents.

In school and at home we try to teach our children respect, responsibility and awareness of environmental issues. The respect and responsibility starts at home and then is expanded upon at school. Still my son and his friend chose

More twinkling bits please Editor, Glebe Report:

I have reached the age when a diet of stories in the glebe Report about students being "motivated to discover their true potential" in Shad Valley no longer satisfies the ap- petite. I must also admit that, although I canvassed some Aldermen to swing that vote over the Aberdeen Cattle Palace, I believe there is more to the world, and to the Glebe, than Lansdowne Park. The one page I consistently enjoy

business will be only too happy to do it on its own.

In last months Capital Column, we were told that the City's current project managers for their Lansdowne development are "testing" the market for private sector interest in developing the area over the exhibit show complex as well as the commercial component of

the park. In fact, this is

the third time in the last five years in which this subject has been explored. There were no takers the first time the City looked for private-sector partners. On the second occasion, a City-hired consultant (Stevenson Kellogg Ernst and Whinney) studying the need for exhibit space could

in the Glebe not one fiyer but several stuffed into their maiiboxes so that when the residents arrived home, they found their halls littered with five, ten and in some cases, thirty flyers.

Speaking only for my son, after a long discussion on the above issues, he would like to send his sincere apologies to the owner and staff of Ashbury Realty Inc. and to the people who were inconven- ienced by his actions. He is aware of his mistake and that many people were affected by it.

Sincerely, Regretful Son and Hopeful parents.

in your paper - and hunt for, first - is Courtney Bond's Observation Post. And a gem of a stovy in the October issue was the description of John Lubron's garden. Why bury these treasures on pages 23 and 32? Can't we have more such contributions? and more humor? You have built the paper into a substantial and prospering pub- lication. It just needs some twinkling bits.

forsee private-sector in-

volvement only if the City

undertook to reduce the risk considered to be in-

herent in the development of trade-show facilities, e.g. by including a greater

commercial (i.e. retail or

office) component. In other words, Lansdowne

looks like the kind of deal the private sector would hardly get into on its own.

A lot of taxpayers' money is at stake if the City goes ahead with its Lansdowne dreams. Figures of $80 to $100 million have been cited to provide all of the facilities in the plans. In his letter to the G-Lebe Report last month, Nicholas Ralph warned of the likelihood of this bill rising even higher and of the potential burden

on the taxpayers of Ottawa, arl to provide a pure subsidy to the trade-show industry. After the Skydome example,

a possible joint venture on Lansdowne is hardly reassur-

ing. And given our city fathers and mothers' talent for one-sided deals with the private sector (e.g. the concessions to the Rough Riders, Triple-A baseball, the Rideau bus mall), there is no reason to think they will strike a better bargain with their private- sector partners than the Province did with Skydome.

N EWS Neighbours' initiative beautifies park BY ALLISON DINGLE

On SaLurday, October 27, when most Glebe residents were attending to their

Fall list of chores, the

people on Linden Terrace joined together to form a work party in Patterson Creek Park. Armed with shovels and

wheelbarrows, suitably attired in workclothes and boots, they planted 13

trees in carefully chosen lo-

cations in the Park. The

trees were swung off the

truck with a hydraulic crane and lowered into freshly dug holes. Then

reams of workers got busy

cutting away the packing,

straightening the trees and filling in the earth

around the roots. Spirits were high among

the 25 neighbours parti- cipating in the planting. Young.. and old came, eager

to enjeky the fine weather and to help with the project. Two\and a half hours later, six 1,indens, two

SCOUTS CANADA

BY JAMES COURTRIGHT We left Glebe St. James

Church on Friday night October 19th. It was cold with a feeling of rain. We arrived two hours later at the campsite near Danford Lake, Que. Most of the other troops were already there. When we got out of the car, we found that the temperature had dropped to about two deg- rees. We had to get our tents up before it got any colder. It was too windy to light a fire, so it was very cold. After a mug-up of hot chocolate and cookies, we retired to our tents. Not all people went right to sleep. When we got up at six

thirty the next morning, we had trouble lighting a fire until someone found a roll of toilet paper to use as tinder. Breakfast consisted of ham and eggs. That warmed us up. We started the morning

activities by dividing all the scouts into groups of about 15 each. We were sent off to six activities: lacrosse, canoeing, path- finding, and gully-cross-

steady deterioration of

the existing trees in the

Everyone who came out to help on Saturday had a wonderful time. It was a very happy experience but the real reward will come in the years ahead, as

In the coming months, many of us will experience a sense of panic. We are

fast approaching the "giving" time of the year. Over the next few weeks the Glebe Community Centre will offer many opportunities to give in both traditional and special ways - each is worth experiencing for the satisfaction it brings.

The Craft Show and Potter's Guild offer a wonderful opportunity for traditional gift giving. The singing of the Messiah or carolling during the Snowflake Special give an opportunity to share music and good cheer. Finally, the Glebe Neigh- bourhood Activities Group is asking something of you - to provide us with suggestions for programmes that can be offered at the Com- munity Centre. Working together we can ensure the

best recreational services for the entire Community.

The Ottawa Board of Education believes that developing an

education system to serve the individual needs of all students

requires a strong partnership with the community. Working together, the learning experiences of the students and of the

community partners are enriched.

JOIN US! GET INVOLVED WITH YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY.

Career/Work Education To assist students in making informed career choices and to

improve the preparation of students for the world of work, the

Ottawa Board of Education has developed a close relationship with

the business community. During the 1989-90 school year 835

students participated in co-operative education. The students

gained experience and awareness as well as high school credits

while they were doing it. OBE students have worked in everything

from cartooning to physiotherapy, from genetic research to auto

mechanics. Information: 239-2263.

Partners in Education Programme Partners-in-Education is a programme whereby a school and

a business adopt each other. The resulting partnership builds

bridges between business and education; between the perceptions

of students and the realities of the world of work. Partnerships

match educational needs with available private sector resources

with the goal of improving the quality of education within a com-

munity. Information: 239-2359.

Meet 'SKATE' BY GARY SCHUITEBOER

This article will be the first of many I hope to write for the Glebe Report. My name is Gary Schuiteboer, and I have been a member of the Ottawa Police Force since 1977. Our Force has involved itself in community based policing since January 1, 1990. This type of policing encourages the public to work closer with its police force.

One excellent way to promote better liaison with part of a community and its Police Force is by way of the Beat Officer. I

was assigned to the Beat Squad and given the area known as '12 Beat'. This Beat includes Bank Street from the Queensway to Lans- downe Park, and extends one block west, and one block east of Bank Street. During my time on 12 Beat

I have made over 140 con- tacts with the storefront merchants on Bank Street. As well, many of the residents of the Glebe have spotted me walking about my area of patrol. Most of the people who have met me know me by my nickname 'SKATE', as my last name seems to cause problems with pronounciation.

Basically the best way to describe a Beat Officer's duties is I am a police cruiser without wheels. I

handle the same calls as a cruiser would -- alarms, break and enters, thefts, as well as armed robberies one of which was the Bank of Nova Scotia armed robbery where I assisted in the ap- prehension of a suspect at Bank and Fifth.

The difference between a Beat Officer and a cruiser

is that I am more approach- able to the public. It is hard to have a conversation with someone when you are travelling at 50 kilometers per hour. The Beat Officer has the advantage of being more personal and more accessible than the officer in the cruiser.

In future articles I

will discuss the concerns that have been related to me from your community; one of which has been the problem of shoplifting. What are your powers of arrest? Can you detain? And possible deterant methods to discourage this type of criminal activity. I will welcome any input on other topics of con- cern you may have in your community. Do not hesi- tate to stop me when I

am walking your beat, and give me a "Hi Skate." Until then...see you on the Beat.

GCA Plan for Glebe of the future By G.C.A. President Don Dobson

PLANNING PLANNING The Board had a stimu-

lating meeting recently when, led by Glen Milne our Director of Planning, we discussed our visions of the Glebe - what the Glebe means to us as indi- viduals, what we like about the community we live in, what we'd like to preserve, to change, what is possible, what is fantasy.

Glen led each of us through an exercise of sharing our individual visions and, to a certain extent,

BY ROB QUINN

At their October meeting, Glebe Community Association directors debated a cash-in- lieu parking decision by City Council and, contrary to Alderman Smyth's wishes, even voted to appeal it to the

Ontario Municipal Board. What's all the fuss over a

building owner who wants to

pay some money to the City for two parking spaces his development cannot provide to

meet the zoning rules? In May 1986, City Council

adopted this policy because the Committee of Adjustment frequently permitted building owners to escape their responsibility to provide parking as reQuired by the zoni

For example, where space rented for an office is to become a restaurant, the zoning wisely requires more parking to be provided. But if the space is in an older part of town, there's seldom extra land available.

However, Committee of Adj- ustment would rule that the inability to provide three or four parking spaces was a

minor variance and allow it. Older parts of the City like the Glebe and Ottawa South


our wishes and dreams for the development of our community. Common themes quickly emerged. Unique ideas highlighted the discussion.

Unknown to us all, Jim McCarthy, our "old man of the Board", had been asked by Glen to contrast the

current Board's vision with the vision that had been developed by many, many volunteers - both GCA members and residents - during the 1977-80 era of major community planning activity.

The similarity in themes was startling - a residential community, a mix of income groups, a village atmosphere, preserving green space, priority to

pedestrians and cyclists, maintaining the street scape, preserving heritage property, development of

Lansdowne Park as a community-at-large resource, and more.

The bottom line - what

to do about the vision. The City of Ottawa is

proceeding with the hear- ings on the draft Official Plan. They were delayed in the face of criticism from several community associations and groups and a decision by the City to do a study of the cen- tral core. One of the general themes of community association objections was that the draft Official Plan was perceived as bia- sed in favour of commercial development and developers

The GCA Board of that year did not voice objections to the draft Of- ficial Plan. The Board redrafted the 'Plan of the

Glebe'. City staff accepted the Plan for inclusion in the Official Plan -

making our Plan one of about ten to be included in the City of Ottawa Official Plan. The issue of what to do

about, and what position to take on, the draft Of-

Background of cash-in-lieu problems streets. Residents, short of

spaces themselves, face even greater congestion,as do cli- ents of existing businesses.

BENEFITS The cash-in-lieu policy al-

lows Council to decide if a

developer will be permitted to pay a sum of money to off- set his/her failure to provide the required parking.

If Council says yes, at

least staff have examined the case and the City receives a

payment which goes into the parking reserve fund.

This is better than giving away non-existent spaces,but there is no guarantee the

money will go into providing new spaces in the area.

GLEBE SCARCITY There have been many deba-

tes on parking issues on and around Bank Street. For good reason too! Hence, cash-in- lieu applications require careful consideration. The Community Association oppos- es them regularly. Its position is stated as follows:

"...the Glebe Community As- sociation objects to the granting of any cash-in-lieu

this part of Bank Street as there is a well documented history of park-

already have inadequate parking shortages. Cash-in-lieu ing in their commercial ...only exacerbates the pro- areas. So the spillover goes blems. When and if the City into adjacent residential can provide nearby parking

on City lots, the GCA will review each application on its merits." Peter Beninger, Chairman

of the Glebe Business Group says they generally oppose cash-in-lieu.

APPROVALS DOUBLE In the 1985-88 term of

Council, 11 parking spaces were approved, 4 of them on O'Connor Street.

The current council has use to a restaurant/pub in approved a whopping 22 spaces

and still has a year to go. part of the building. The

val and Ald. Smyth concurred. Ald. Holmes whose ward in-

cludes Elgin Street, which has intense parking problems, voted against the Glebe and Bank restaurant application.

THE LAST STRAW The case which provoked the

GCA vote to appeal to the OMB, arose from the application from the owners of 885- 891 Bank, in which Irene's, Ernesto's Barbershop and Prime Crime are located.

The application was to pay for two parking spaces that later development of the building required to be supplied. There is no land for them.

ficial Plan, in the light of other community associations objections, is

our next challenge.

Bear with the GCA Board. Share your vision for our community, our City and our Region with us. Support us in our work. Let us know your wishes. The commitment of the Board to preserve and protect the best ideals of the Glebe was under- scored in the dynamics of

our October meeting.

CASH-IN-LIEU PROBLEMS Further to the cash-in-

lieu discussion for 885-891 Bank Street, the Board of

the GCA voted in favour of an Ontario Municipal Board appeal of this decision by City Council to accept what has become a parking short-fall of 11 spaces -

a bad decision. We have since learned that the decision cannot be appealed. The community will have to live with another bad decision.

City staff's report recommended against the application, stating that the building enjoyed six credits. This means the building was in use before by-laws required parking be supplied, and had no parking but was credi- ted with six spaces.

In 1984, the owner obtained a further credit of 3 spaces from Committee of Adjustment. This arose from the changed

December 1986 and in January 1990 two "orders to comply" with building permit rules were issued because this conversion required cash-in- lieu before it was legal.

In effect, the appli- cants were seeking to "re- gularize" the situation after the fact.

The staff report also said that there is a severe short- age of parking in the area and that this application, if approved, would lead to

"overdevelopment".

Cont'd. on p. 13

Cash-in-lieu cont'd. ABOUT FACE AT COUNCIL

The report to Planning Committee and Council opposed the application and noted both the GCA's and Glebe Ald. Smyth's written opposition as well.

Ald. Smyth changed her mind. At the cablecast Oct- ober 3/90 Council meeting, Ald. Kent, chairman of the Planning Committee (Ald.

Smyth is a member) asked if the Committee had done what she wanted. In her ab- sence, the Committee was informed that she wanted the application approved. Ald Kent noted a closer

look at the report revealed her opposition and he re- marked ori a letter just received from the GCA also seeking a negative vote.

She responded that the Committee had voted exactly as she wished - to approve the application.

Council did so, with Al- derman Kent and O'Neil dis- senting.

HAS OWNERSHIP CHANGED?

Ald,Smyth defended her changed vote on the grounds that the upstairs tenants

are Glebe residents and do

not drive to work, and that

the building owner acquired the building after the illegal conversion.

As to a change in owner-

ship of the building, the GCA's minutes of June 1984 report that one R. Bujold,

the owner of this building, had applied for a minor variance for three parking spaces. The 1990 application

stated that the building's owners are G. MacEachern and R. Bujold, two Glebe residents and voters.

DISCOURAGING RESULTS

As it turns out, Council decisions on cash-in-lieu are not subject to appeal to the OMB.

This building now enjoys 11 parking credits. Two apartments have been lost. Ald. Smyth says they would be very noisy being situated over Irene's. Maybe some extra insula-

tion and some consideration after 11:00 p.m. would have kept them liveable as afford- able apartments. Offices, however, pay more.

benefit from a $2.50 rebate on this year's pass. In addition, Gatineau Park is introducing a new mail-in registration service this year which will allow skiers to avoid lineups. Registration forms will be available at many area sports boutiques, the Old Chelsea Visitor Centre and at 14 Metcalfe Street Information Centre in front of Parliament Hill; passes are available at the last two locations. Daily passes will be available in the Park's various parking lots throughout the cross- country skiing season ($5 for adults and $3 for adolescents and senior citizens).

The user fee was introduced in 1989 to help counter the high costs of trail and service maintenance. Last year, 3,500 cross country skiers purchased the season pass and the NCC is confident that it will be able to continue to offer skiers the high quality services they haw come to expect in Gatineau Park.

BUSINESS NEWS 10th Anniversary for the Architecture Book Store

October marked the tenth anniversary oi the founding of the Architecture Bookstore, Ottawa's first and only bookstore dedicated to the subject of architecture and its related design disciplines.

In early 1980, founders Robert Froom and Anthony Leaning gratuated from the School of Architecture at Carleton University. Both had participated in its tirst Directed Studies Abroad program and found after their return to Ottawa a need for better access to the growing supply of publishing in this field. The bookstore opened up

in its small building at 116 Third Avenue after renovations to convert it from an antique store. The original building had been used as a horse stable for a Bank Street business. A party marking the event

was held October 15th to which many friends, and colleagues were invited. Among the first visitors were Michael Coote, direct-

store has since benefitted greatly from a very real curiosity about architecture and design on the part of the public at large who remain a significant part of the clientele. Atter 10 years the book-

store has developed a maii order clientele across the

country. Books have been shipped to the Caribbean, the Far East, and Australia.

Since 1988 a joint book service with the RA1C has proved to be success. The bookstore continues to service the needs of educational programs in architecture and its related technologies in the Ottawa area.

As this decade rolls around, and evidence per- sists of similar economic conditions to those which existed au the time of the

book store's founding, it

appears that there will be another boom of architect- ural exploration via writing and drawing. With wry acknowledgment of this double edged irony, Robert Froom and Anthony Leaning anticipate another decade

The Glebe Apothecary at 778 Bank Street, is now offering bottled water that comes from its own pure water processing equipment.

The store has installed expensive equipment featuring a series of very fine filters tnat transforms

the city water into pure water. Doug says that the Reverse

Free samples of Water Well Pure Water are available from the instore water fountain.

Because the Glebe Apothe- cary is producing the pure water itself the price can be quite low.

To maintain the low prices the system is set up as "self-serve" and therefore the customer must make a one-time initial purchase of a container. These are avilable in a variety of sizes and shapes inciuding a unique easy to carry 11 litre (3 gallon) bottle

which is square and has a

handy carry handle.

The Giebe Apothecary is the first store in Ottawa to have the water purifying system installed. The

system is now widespread in

the province of Quebec where installations of the Water Well have been going on for the past ten

years.

Introductory s. seminar

The Glebe Apothecary is featuring a free seminar weekend on November 22, 23

and 24 to introduce the Water Well water and services to

the community. People will be able to sample the water, ask questions and enter a

contest to win a free home water fountain.

Claudia and Doug McKeen invite everyone to visit the

store and sample the pure water from the Water Well.

CAPITAL COLUMN Highlights of year as Deputy Mayor 1=111M

By Alderman Lynn Smyth

A new Deputy Mayor will soon be elected by Council. My term of office ends on December 1. During the past year my duties as Deputy Mayor were many and varied. On reflection, I am impressed by how many constituents I have met at official funct- ions. From foster parents

to fundraisers, arts and sports people to community organizers, Capital ward residents certainly play a vibrant and active role in the network of city-wide and national organizations. It was a pleasure to meet so many committed volunteers who are making a positive impact every day on the quality of life in our City.

One of my favourite memories of the year was presenting the silver medallions to the United States women's hockey team at the closing ceremonies of the historic

Women's World Hockey championship. The excitement of

the Team Canada win gave us an evening to remember. Another was while giving the

key note address at the

Capital Cities of the World

Conference in Dakar, the

capital of Senegal. As I

looked out from the podium I saw a sea of brilliant robes and turbans of every colour and description, a

sight not soon torgotten.

The opportunity to chair council provided some challenging and often unpredict- able moments. All in all, quite an experience. Thank you to all of you who gave me your advice and encourage- ment. This, together with superb support from family and friends allows me to look back on the past year with a sense of accomplishment and for that I am grateful.

guide these developments in a manner compatible to

the community as a whole

city and regional needs. I

am confident that this con-

tinued personai contact will ensure results that we can all be proud of.

This last year of my term is an election year, as

some may have guessed by the political volleys already being fired. As we

enter it, it is still not clear what the structure of the regional and municipal councils will be. The main questions in everyone's mind is whether one person or two people will be re- presenting them. The answer

should be forthcoming from the provincial government shortly. One thing I do

know about the upcoming year...it won't be boring. Thank you for making the past year so interesting.

1991 CITY/REGIONAL BUDGETS Next month elected re-

presentatives will focus on city and regionai budgets for 1991. City and regional committees will be reviewing all departmental budgets. The present economic climate has put enormous pressures on all of our resources and council must make difficult, yet wise choices in the months ahead. Your adivce and comments on financial priorities are needed and welcomed.

QUEENSWAY COLLECTORS OMB APPEAL

One of the main reasons I ran for political office was my conviction that the region's proposed Queensway collector lanes, if cons- tructed, would have a

profoundly negative impact on our community. The Ontario Municipal Board is hearing an appeal from the Ottawa East Community Association. The cost for expert witness and legal council is expected to be $100,000. Sol Shinder of Goldberg, Shinder, Gardner and Kronick has agreed to lead the appeal (Bravo!).

FOCUS Co-housing a revolution from Denmark

BY SILVIE GRENIER & CHRIS BRADSHAW

Imagine not having to rush home to fix a meal every evening for the family or to always be there to mind the kids. Or having high quality housing without paying the high costs most of your friends pay.

For hundreds of Danish families in over 50 housing projects built over the last

decade, the solution is cohousing. If this idea sparks your curiosity - come to the Glebe Community Centre Tuesday November 27 at 7:30 p.m. and learn more about it.

What is co-housing? Cohousing is a new housing

type that combines the au-

tonomy and advantages of

private dwellings with the

advantages of community living. Each household has a private residence, but

shares common facilities with the larger group, such

as a kitchen and a dining

room, a workshop, a play-

room, guest rooms and

laundry facilities. As a result, the indi-

vidual living units can be smaller, requiring space

only for the needs of the

individual members of the

household and their regular - versus infrequent - needs. There is still a living

room and kitchen, but they can be made smaller since the 'great house' is used for larger gatherings and

special meais. For that

reason there is usually no formal dining room. The

bedrooms are smaller and extra bedrooms for guests are not necessary. Many units are designed with a main floor bedroom with its own entrance that is often used for a suite for grandpaients, an older child or to rent to others.

Outside, the units -

without attached garages or carports - are grouped along pedestrian-scale walkways, sometimes covered

by giass, with parking grouped at the periphery or below the units, since

basements are not as necessary. The 'great house'

is usually at the centre where it is handy to all

the units The shared space leads

to sharing on many levels. Dinner detail is assigned to different people who buy the food and utiiize others including the children assigned to heip in meal preparation, setting the tables and clean up. For example,

one family may have to prepare only one meal a month if there were twenty units and meals were served five times a week. If residents wish to take part in community dinners, they

could sign up a few days in advance and pay for the meal after dinner. Also, older children help younger ones with homework and personal problems. Or teen- agers have other adults than their parents for advice and insight as an additional reference point to peer pressure. Ride-sharing and car-sharing are also

common byproducts of neighbours who are much more aware of common schedules and interests.

The nuclear family has its downside: excessive role playing, few breaks in the daily routine, a lack of feedback on how one might do things better, little help during emergen- cies and crises, and too much isolation and loneli- ness. To increase the amount of sharing, some projects purposeiy seek a broad mix of household types and personal backgrounds. At the same time, the residents resist being inward looking with respect to the surrounding households, often purposely offering the 'great house' as the site for community-wide meetings, garage sales, and work projects. Getting these projects

launched requires a strong commitment to the advantages

Cohousing really provides the same ambiance as a typical office: a small private space with many shared spaces to ensure maximum interaction and sharing. Co- housing is for people who do not see their home as an escape from their work environment, but as an extension of community and growth.

Cohousing developments vary in size, type of ownership, design, and priorities. Most successful projects ac- commodate between 15 and 33 households and are usually owned and managed by the residents on the same basis as condominiums. The units are generally ground-oriented (townhouses, stacked townhouses, semi-detached) but

rarely singles. The Danish experience has shown that the

resale value of cohousing is equal to or. greater than neighbouring homes.

ARE YOU OVER EXTENDING YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.?

So many things to plug

in, so few outlets to plug

them in to. It's a common

problem these days, especially in older houses.

Many people use extension cords or multiple

plugs to handle everything. And soon every outlet begins to look like an

octopus. That's not a safe way to deal with electricity. Overloading outlets

is dangerous. Every year fires are started by misuse of electricity. If you

don't have enough outlets, have a qualified electrician install more. It's also

a good idea to have your service upgraded so your system can take the

electrical demands of today's labour saving appliances.

SCHOOL NEWS Glebe C.I. - Partnerships in education

BY VIRGINIA LINDSAY

October has been a bount-

iful month for Glebe Col-

legiate, with the signing

of two Partners-in-Edu- cation agreements in the

space of six days.

The Partners-in-Education idea was outlined in the

February 1990 Glebe Report.

Essentially, it is an agreement between a school and

some other organization to

share facilities and per-

sonnel for the mutual benefit of both partners. A committee of ten Glebe teachers has been working for almost two years to link Glebe with other institutions which could enrich the resource base that Glebe has to offer its students

CARLETON UNIVERSITY PARTNERED WITH GLEBE

On October 19th, a formal agreement was signed by Glebe Principal Dave Harvie and Carleton University President Robin Farquhar to create a Partnrs-in- Education relationship between the two educational institutes. The signing took place during the morning of a Professional Develop- ment Day for Glebe staff hosted by the University. "We're virtually next door

neighbours," says Principal Dave Harvie, "Yet we are far from familiar with what goes on in each other's domain. Glebe is an academic institute. Most of our graduates go on to university. A closer tie with Carleton can only make it easier for Glebe students to make this transition smoothly."

Career Exploration BY MARLENE GLOVER

Students at Glebe now have the opportunity of requesting a Career Exploration assign- ment which allows them the opportunity to experience working conditions and employer expectations in career fields in which they are interested.

Since September, Mrs. Marlene Glover in the Guid- ance Department has placed students in career areas as diverse as Archaeology, Veterinarian, Forensic Sci- ences and Police work. The students are interviewed to determine their career interests and then placed with a member of the community who is empioyed in that field. Generally,

From the partnership ar- rangement, Glebe hopes to gain access to Carleton facilities for field trips, use of Carleton staff as Academic Mentors and Co- operative Education Super- visors, and the use of Carleton students as peer counsellors for graduating Glebe students.

Carleton Academic Vice President Dennis Forcese sees a variety of benefits of the partnership to

Carleton. "We're anxious to attract more scholarship level students from Glebe. If they become more familiar with the quality of many of our programs, they may make Carleton their first choice." he said. "We are also very concerned with reducing 'transition- to-university trauma'. If

EMR AND GLEBE FORM LIASON

The Deputy Minister of Energy, Mines and Re- sources, Canada, Mr. Bruce Howe, came to Glebe Col- legiate on October 25th to sign a three year agreement of partnership with the school. In a speech to the students and staff, Mr. Howe outlined the energy problems facing Canada today. He stressed the pres- sing need for Glebe students to continue their studies

in science and technology

sO they will be prepared to share in solving these

problems tomorrow.

To encourage excellence in scientific pursuits,

Mr. Howe announced two categories of awards for Glebe students to be presented annually by EMR.

The Minister's Prize for Excellence will be presented each year at Glebe's Grad- uation Exercises to the

students earning the top mark in each of the four OAC (formerly Grade 13)

Science Courses: Biology,

Chemistry, Physics, and Science in Society. The Deputy Minister's

Prizes for Achievement in science will be presented annually at Glebe's Awards Night to the students

who have earned the top

mark in each of the Science Courses offered at the

Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12

levels.

Glebe's Partners-in-Edu- cation Committee Chairman, Ian McKercher, feels that both these partnerships will open a tremendous range of resources to Glebe students to augment and enrich programs currently in place. This is a very competitive world," he said, "and we want to give Glebe students every advantage. It is really a blessing to have a wealth of talent such as can be found in the Carleton and EMR staffs, so willing, and so close at hand."

SCHOOL NEWS Lady Evelyn's Halloween party

BY ADRIAN ZAHL

We celebrated the last afternoon of Daylight Savings Time with a visit to where the wild things were, at the annual Hal- loween Party in the gymnasium of Lady Evelyn Primary Alternative School. We were escorted by a space ghost, a kindergarten student named Joshua. The party is a tradition.

How _long has this tradition lasted? Nobody is quite sure. Dodie Wood, the purple-haired principal of the school, thought the event dated back as far as the school's in-

ception in 1982. Hers seemed to be the oldest memory present.

tions and created a general blur of tin foil, sparkles, chiffon and black capes. We spoke with a few of

the wild things. Jarrah Thomas-Reynolds was a brave and noble knight, who was inspired, he

said, by the story of King Arthur. Christopher Pease was a black cat. He and his brother made the costume. "We have a cat at home", he explained, "although he isn't black." A robot wasn't up to answering questions and just beeped.

The party, engineered by a committee of dedicated parents, and a Christmas Bazaar coming on December 1 as well as a mid-winter party and a June picnic, illustrate one of the school's guiding principles: school- community partnerships. Part of the philosophy is to involve parents in the running of the school, thereby enriching the children's school experience.

SCHOOL NEWS Mutchmor, Glebe Centre join generations

BY SHEILA JENKINS A very exciting project,

linking Mutchmor School and the Glebe Centre is taking place in our community.

Conceived as a vehicle for enriching both the lives of the seniors living at

Glebe Centre and the students at Mutchmor, the pro-

ject has taken off under

the direction of a parents committee, the school ad- ministration and the admin- istration of the Giebe Centre. This joint venture in "bringing the generations together': is off to an en7

thusiastic start and will see many activities taking place throughout the school year.

To initiate the project, an information session was held at the Glebe Centre. Residents were invited to come and listen to some of the ideas presented by Mutchmor's principal, John Kruspe and a parent organ- izer. Plans for possible activities were highlighted and residents contributed their ideas.

Great enthusiasm was shown at the suggestion of the students building snowmen just outside the wall of windows in the main lounge. That first snowfall can't be too far off:::

The following week, an

afternoon tea and Open House

was held at Mutchmor. The

Glebe Centre van transported a group of residents to

the school where they were entertained by the Primary Choir and Miss McCracken's grade six class. They toured part of the first

floor and enjoyed tea, baked goodies and conversation with the students,

staff and parents. Many of the guests had interesting tales to share of their "good old school days" and they all expressed amazement at the many changes that have taken place in the school system

over the years.

Visits by the students to Glebe Centre then took

place over two weeks in

October. Kirsten Murphy, the program worker at the Glebe Centre, took each group of children on a tour

which included the kitchen, dining room, main lounge and even a resident's living quarters. Riding the elevator to the 12th floor proved to be a big hit, particularly with the younger children: At the

end of the tour, juice was served in the lounge and the children had a

chance to chat with some of the residents. Other activities have

included Thanksgiving songs by Ms. Stinson, Poulter &

Murphy's grade 2-3 classes, a Hallowe'en parade by Donna Edward's kindergarten classes and the hanging of childrens' artwork in the dining room at the Centre. Future pians will revolve around special holidays as well as any other activities where the children can share some of their school life with the senior. Seasonal decorations, storytelling and card making are just a few of the activities to come. The staff at both Mutchmor

and the Glebe Centre, as well as the residents and students are enthusiastic about this sharing of time and look forward to many happy and interesting visits together.

OBSERVATION POST Challenge for the South

BY COURTNEY BOND

My wife and I spent three years, from 1971, with CUSO in Tanzania. My work, the preparation of a national atlas, was completed in 1974. We returned there briefly the next year.

On September 25, 1990, we were invited as ex-CUSO, with a few others, to attend a North-South Institute Round- table, where the former president of Tanzania wouid be guest speaker. Arriving early, we were chatting in the Institute's Murray Street conference room with Barry Fleming, field director of CUSO of our day, when I sen- sed a presence -- and looked into the smiling, youthful face of Julius Kambarage Nyerere. Clyde Sanger quickly introduced us and I res- urrected my Swahili. "Malimu Nyerere, Baba wa Taifa, kiongozi shujaa!" (honorifics the people would use). "Nimechora atlasi ya Tanzania". As Chairman of the South Commission, he had come to Ottawa to introduce the Commission's report, Challenge to the South.

Imagine a divided worid. Everything south of the US.A. on this continent, and south of Europe, the USSR and Japan with the exception of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, consti- tutes the South. The re- mainder, including Canada, is the North.

We "Northerners", with 20-25% of the world's population consume 85% of the world's non-renewable energy and emit nearly 75% of that industrial carbon dio- xide that is disastrously changing our planet's climate. Grinding poverty is a large part of life in the South. Infant mortality, aithough lowered since 1965,

is still grossly greater and

life expectancy, slightly

improved since that date is

a good deal lower, especially

in Africa. Our trade policies, the

low prices we pay for the

commodities they produce,

exploit the South. In the

1980's our high interest

rates have greatly slowed the

progress they were beginning Photo: Clyde Sanger to make, so much that in 1988

debts was 40% of the value ot exports. Education statistics, on August 3, 1990. It

was to have had a full exposé on the BBC -- but that was the day Saddam Hussein unleashed the dogs of war.

In a compendious 287- page text containing not a sentence that isn't packed with information, the Report devotes a quarter of its bulk to describing the sad history of the South and its so far fruitless efforts to remedy the situation. Then it launches into a detailed description of what the South can do. Mr. Nyerere pointed out the difficulty of this task with a folk tale from his native region: "Where you going rabbit?" To kill the

elephant." Rabbit makes his effort. "I'll try, try and try again!" The South needs to be or-

ganized at the global level and to be more effective in mobilizing its shared expertise and experience, or its bargaining power. For this the Commission proposes a South Secretariat to provide research and intellectual support for negotiations and discussion on South-South co- operation, such as inter- regional trade and other related tasks, together with the dissemination of information. It should be a

lobby for the South. The Secretariat would require 20-25 professionals at the beginning, subject to the supervision of an advisory board.

The Commission also proposed a South Bank be set up However, independent commen- tators feel that this isn't likely to occur now. Centres of Excellence in learning are proposed. In the Guardian as this is written we learn that oil-rich Gulf nations contributed money to build under Unesco auspices a new Great Library of Alexandria. Saddam Hussein, short of cash, paid in $21 millions

the number of engineers and scientists, show gross in- equalities. Grinding poverty, squalor, hunger and ill-health are the lot of many.

Julius Nyerere spoke of the Commissions inception. Michael Manly, Prime Min- ister of Jamaica, had broached the idea to him in New York, but the

matter died. A group of Southerners discussed it in 1985. In 1986 in

Kuala Lumpur a steering committee under Dr. Mahather Bin Mohamad, Prime Minister of Malaysia, made the pre- liminary arrangements. The Commission was announced in Harare in September. Mr. Nyerere, who accepted the position of chairman, travelled widely in the South discussing the Com- mission's role. On July 27, 1987, he announced the composition of the South Commission. Its

Secretariat was established in Geneva with assistance from the Government of Switzerland and started functioning five days later. Forty-five countries and some non-govern- mental agencies, including Canadas I.D.R.C., contributed.

The Commissions twenty- eight members come from twenty-six nations. They include heads of state and former heads, national planners, top economists, bankers, a cardinal, ex- perts on development, savants, a scientist, an advocate of women's rights. They held nine plenary sessions. Working groups of commissioners and expert groups were set up to deal in depth with issues. Meetings were held with officials and intel- lectuals through the South.

The Report of the Com- mission, Challenge to the South, was published by Oxford University Press

- 24

weeks before invading Kuwait. Grandiose project though it is, it will use hi-tech safe storing methods, and is proposed to embody a school of librarianship.

Calling attention to the rapid expansion of trans- national enterprises as the main producers of goods and services for international trade, the Report calls for a drastic reform that will bring about a rational and development- oriented international system. The North must take steps to reduce the demand for illicit drugs. The Report calls for a just management of the "global commons", such as the sea-bed, Ant- arctica and outer space. The North has used much of

the planer's ecological capital. It must become more aware that "the world's natural capital is finite". The South must devote great attention to improving the lot of women and to improving education, especially in science and mathematics.

Science and technology are vital for the developing worid. A new international regime for science and technology should be negotiated between North and South, with donor countries agreeing to provide a given percentage of aid for science and technology. Centres of technical information should be established in the South and scientific centres for griculture. Technologies that help preserve the

environment and conserve natural resources should be treated as international public goods. The above proposals are only some of the comprehensive tasks set for the South.

Canada must help the South in this huge and vital task. What can we do? We can increase our official development assistance: it was .44% of our GNP in 1988-89; the target ad-

opted by the United Nations in 1968 is .7%! Our government should seek dialogue with the South, and move to help the achievement of a more just international system. We can particularly help in the establishment of a new international regime for science and technology. Let us press our representatives in government to move toward these aims. All success to Julius Nyerere and the South:

FEATURE The modern Incas of Bolivia

BY JOHN LEANING

About the time that Quebecers were recover- ing from their contretemps with their own minority - the Mohawk Indians of Oka and Kahnawake, my wife and I were guests of another native Indian group in the High Andes of Bolivia. The place was called Tapacari and we got to it by driving along a broad, dried up river bed, surrounded by spectacularly coloured moun- tains. I thought how the population adjoining Kahna- wake would have appreciated such a drivable river during the blockade of the Mercier Bridge.

The people of Tapacari are Quechua Indians. Until the 17th century they were Incas and Tapacari was an Inca capital until the river filled with flood waters and washed it:away. Ail that is now left of that inca city is a sorry looking phallic fertility symbol which graces the centre of the "new" village square up on the hill. The Incan phallus this week end was at the heart of the fiesta of the Virgin of Sorrows, quite the most

unsorrowfui and noisy event

I have attended. The vil-

lages' 500 population was

swelled to 2000 that week, mostly colourfully ciad Quechua from all over the High Andes. Somehow we ali crowded into about 200 adobe houses in various states of disrepair. We were billeted on the dusty floor of the Town's council chamber on one side of the

square, giving us a grand- stand view of the wild and colourful proceedings.

By Canadian standards the situation would have warranted a declaration of a state of emergency. The village has one tap which dribbled dubious water into a dirty trough in the middle of the square for just two hours of the day and there were no toilets: So morning ablutions were done in the 'river" below which sported the occasional stream, around where the Incan capital used to be.

The fiesta was a noisy

and joyful one. A start-

lingly ornate and realistic version of the sorrowful Virgin started off from the Church and was paraded around the village accom- panied by extremely loud, colourful and energetic bands and dancers. The Adean pipes were beautiful to listen to but unfortunately they had decided to augment them with _loud brass and drums which went on for the whole night. As it

got darker the noise got louder and louder and the dancing wilder in proportion to the quantity of alco- holic "chicha" and beer that was being drunk.

Then there were fireworks which I thought would go right through the council chamber; and I am sure that there was no firefight- ing capacity in Tapacari. I do not remember a more noisy occasion since the Luftwaffe bombed London. The music was a mixture of Quechua and Spanish as was most of the fiesta, a re- markably joyous combination I couid not help being sad that no such happy inte- gration of cultures in- digenous and European, has taken place in Canada.

CHURCH NEWS St. Giles Tartan Bazaar November 24, 1990

Who will buy? Does this remind you of a tune from the musical Oliver? To answer this question - everyone is invited to

attend St. Giles Tartan Bazaar on November 24th. St. Giles Presbyterian Church is in the Glebe at Bank Street and First Ave.

The doors of the Church's downstairs will open to

the public at 10:00 a.m. and the proud convenors will have their wares ready for sale. Many of them have planned and prepared for the entire year. One of the ladies, born

in Scotland, was inspired

to cook by her father who

was a chef on the cars of the British Railways, so cooking for 200 at lunch at three different settings is nary a problem. Arrange a luncheon date

with your friends at 11:30,

12:15 or 1:00 p.m.

The knitting group will

be spearheaded by 54 plus

54 years of experience.

Look for Aran knits, Nor-

dic knits, baby's white

layettes for Christenings and even traditional tams.

The men of the congregation get into the act also. Check out the Deli booth which will be filled to overflowing with wonderful goodies. Can you savour the taste of cabbage rolls, cold roast beef cuts, special mustards, salad dressings and herbs? Are you hungry yet?

The Tartan Bazaar has customers who come specifi- cally to buy a share of the jams and jellies. What a wonderful treat to be able to serve a favourite jam with fresh hot scones when company arrives unexpectedly. Aprons. Since the advent

of polyester, automatic washing machines and higher earning power, aprons aren't used as often as they might be. How do today's mothers survive without the corner of an apron to wash Johnny's face? In spite of all the above, St. Giles' sells many aprons.

Crafts are in - be it at Christmas or throughout the year. How about a gift of Christmas decorations or trim-a-tree? The Attic Treasures alias the Boutique have lots of things to in-

terest you, or visit the Country Store and find something for the person- who-has-everything.

White Elephants - who has ever seen or heard of one? This table is full of surprises. One man's junk is another man's fortune - be it weird or wonderful. At the Church's 65th

Anniversary supper, one of the head table guests commented "St. Giles' Ladies are known for their pie". Comments like these speak volumes for the Home Bak- ing Table. Prices are inviting too.

All the profits go to the

Church in one form or another. St. Giles has been a pillar in the Glebe since

1925. Our Church is not new but most beautiful. Building funds are not our problem but refurbishing is. Our congregation, led by Rev. Duncan Kennedy is proud to refurbish. But more than raising money, the community that surrounds the Church and the congregation benefit so much in the camaraderie, and by working together.

Come share with us anytime but especially on November 24, 1990. It

would be our pleasure.

CHURCH NEWS A time to remember

BY REV. E.J.COX A bishop once commented

that 'everywhere the Apostle Paul went, there was a revolution; everywhere I go,

they serve tea!' One wonders if this is the

perception that some people have of the Church, that mostly what we do is pretty tame stuff, along the lines of serving tea! There used to be an argument made in certain quarters that the Church should be taxed, because it is not really a

it really isn't doing any- thing, and therefore should be taxed.

Well, certainly these programmes are all worth- while, and the Church has always been happy to support these causes. But the fact remains that there are other organizations which can run all these programs. And yet, no other organization is really in the business of what the Church is about, and that is the

worship of God.

other than ourselves. Soon we'll be remember-

ing those who gave up theit

lives for us, so that we might be free. And some of that remembering will be en- couraged and carried out in churches all over this land. But just in case, we forget

that the Church does more than just serve tea, go back to Nazi Germany, Easter, 1945. The Allied forces are fast

approaching Berlin, and as Hitler realizes the end is near, he orders the execution of some notable prisoners, namely those who participated in the attempt to overthrow him. One prisoner by the name of Dietrich Bonhoeffer a minister, is leading his fellow-prisoners in a

worship service. As he finishes the final prayer, the cell door bursts open, two men enter and say, 'Prisoner Bonhoeffer, come with us.' As Bonhoeffer leaves the room, he whisp- ers to one fellow prisoner, 'this is the end...for me the beginning of life.', and Bonhoeffer is taken out

And so, along with the and hanged. The Church bazaars, the rummage sales, has always served tea, the teas, the cubs and guides,but for many like Bon- and so on, there is the wor- hoeffer, the Church re- ship of God and the challenge presents worship and to live life from the stand- faith, and sometimes a point of faith in something faith worth dying for.

Birds and bird feeders BY VICTORIA DICKENSON A

JEFF HARRISON

For veteran bird lovers

with bird feeders tucked away in garages or base-

ments, it's time to put

them out. Ready or not, winter is fast approaching

Like an increasing num-

ber of urbanites, we get

a great deal of enjoyment out of seeing birds in our backyard. During our long winter, maintaining a bird feeder is

the best way to attract them. On those really freezing days when it's too cold to go outside, there's no greater enjoyment than sitting at the

window and watching the passing parade of hungry

birds. We have six feeding

stations in our backyard. These include two gravity feeders, one with sunflower seed and the other with mixed bird seed, a distle-

fink feeder with niger

and rapeseed, a small log

and an onion-skin bag

stuffed with suet, and a

ground feeding area where

we throw out stale bread,

muffins, and biscuits to

supplement the spillage from above. The variety of birds we

get in Ottawa South is

limited. Our regulars in-

clude pigeons, house

sparrows, starlings, downy

and hairy woodpeckers,

white-breasted nuthatches, chickadees, goldfinches and blue jays. Depending on the winter, we might

also host evening gros-

beaks, redpolis, pine

siskins, purple finches and house finches.

Birds adapt to winter

Most birds that winter in our climate are well

adapted to the harsh winters. Scientists have discovered that some birds such as goldfinches, actually grow more fea-

thers in the winter to increase their ability to keep in the heat. Birds fluff up their fea-

thers at night to create air pockets and reduce

heat loss. They also put

on extra layers of fat to

tide them over in periods

of bad weather. Seed eaters store food in

their crops. They are able to digest the seeds by grinding them up in the crop

with the assistance of tiny pieces of grit. This allows them to keep their body temperature up at night by eating the stored seed. In

winter and early spring, it is common to see birds foraging along roadsides where plows have exposed the gravel shoulders. These birds are collecting grit for their crops. Some poeple actually provide a small area in the yard where they set out the grit seed- eaters need.

We are often asked if feeding the birds in winter encourages birds, which would otherwise migrate, to stick around. The answer is yes, occasionally, but

mostly no. The vast majority of our local birds have adapted to very specific diets over tens of thousands and in some cases, millions of years. Many, such as flycatchers, warblers, verios and woodland thrushes, are strictly insect eaters. They must migrate since with the winter, their food disappears. A bird feeder is unable to provide them with the flies, worms, grubs, and beetles that they relish and they need.

Rare birds When an insectiferous

bird, that should be in Florida or the tropics, does turn up au a bird feeder in winter, it is

likely to be a young bird that got disoriented. Like many bird feeder operators we're always on the lookout for a rarity, and every winter a few turn up. A

friend told me recently that a Carolina wren over- wintered in the Glebe some years ago. Brown thrashers, hermit thrushes and grackles may also show up at local feeders.

There is solid evidence that the proliferation of bird feeders in the north- eastern paru of the United States has contributed to

increased overwintering and survival of the northern oriole. This can be traced through the recording of the

species over many years on Christmas Bird Censuses.

Some birds, such as the

- 30

white-breasted nuthatch, starling, chickadee, house finch, goldfinch and blue jay are partial migrants. The great majority go to

the mid United States while a few stay behind in winter. With more food easily available at bird feeders, a

larger percentage of these

birds are overwintering in

our area. In our latitude winter

bird feeders have undoubtedly assisted the northern movement of that wonderful red- feathered bird, the cardinal.

This southern bird does not

migrate and its doubtful that it would be able to

survive our winters without

the suppiementary food that

feeders provide. In recent

years another more southern

resident, the tufted titmouse, least some of the time.

a tiny greyish bird with a While bird feeders have

crest, has occasionally turned up at a city bird

feeder in winter, last year

in the Island Park area.

Ottawa is warm Every winter the numbers

of our local birds are swelled

by migrants from the north

and the Pacific Northwest.

It may seem hard to believe,

but to siskins and redpolls evening and pine grosbeaks, red and white-winged cross- bills, bohemian waxwings and snow buntings, Ottawa must seem almost tropical:

While these birds can do quite nicely without bird feeders, a few species such

as siskins, redpolis and evening grosbeaks will come

readily for a free handout.

We've noticed that the ranks

of the boisterous black and gold evening grosbeaks have decreased significantly

at city feeders over the

last fifteen years. Since

they are plentiful at bird feeders in rural areas, we

suspect that they find

little need to come into

SNOWHAWKS Unint .233-0701 1*

the city any more. The pine grosbeak is an

interesting addition to city feeder lists. This

bird is apparently learning to use bird feeders that in

previous generations it avoided. We had two in our yard a few winters ago

and are hoping the feeders

will attract them back.

Its hard to talk about feeding birds in winter without mentioning squirrels. They seem to be an integral part of the backyard scene. We have learned to live with their feeder raids, and have managed to reduce their "take" a bit by throw- ing out bits of bread on the snow. This seems to keep

them off the feeders, at

been a boon to chose interested in attracting more birds to city yards, there are other ways that an urban lot can be en-

hanced to benefit wildlife in winter. Planting trees

is environmentally friendly,

aesthetically pleasing, and a must for attracting MA:cis. Conifers provide roosting places and cover in winter and nesting sites in spring. Fruit trees

such as apples, flowering crabs and mountain ash hold their fruits well into

winter and are especially usefui in attracting Bohemian waxwings and the

odd stray robin. Putting up a feeder is

a great backyard -project. The benefits are large

for people and for our

avian friends! Books on

how to do it can be found

at the Nature Canada Book-

shop at 45:3 Sussex Drive

or the Canadian Wildlife Federation's store on

Carling Avenue. Both also

stock a variety of bird feeders for sale.

By Sharon Drache

HARVEST BY BELVA PLAIN DELACORTE PRESS, 409 pages, $27.50 (cloth) The biblical sentence

concerning the sins of the

fathers being visited on their children is a re-

curring theme in Belva Plain's family dynasty story, a sequel to her high-

ly acclaimed Evergreen. In Harvest, we meet iris

Stern, the jinxed, married aaughter of Anna and Joseph Friedman, who dominated Plain's Evergre&a hovel with

their story of immigrant struggle, having suffered

loss in the Holocaust, a-

gainst a backdrop of the Vietnam War, and even ter- rorist attacks in Israei. Anna and Joseph Friedman were a perfect couple but throughout their marriage Anna hid the truth about Iris from her husband. She was

not Joseph's child but the

daughter of Paul Werner, a

wealthy financier, with whom Anna had a passionate affair before and after

marriage. Anna had come from Poland

to New York at the turn of the century. She was a beautiful, impoverished teenager and Paul's parents were her employers. Paul was already engaged when Anna met him and although he was not in love with his fiancée


he was too honourable to

break up with her. Anna accepted his decision but when she met him a few

years later she succumbed

to her joy at being reunited

with Paul and Iris was the result. Anna kept the truth

from iris as well as her

husband. Harvest opens with iris

receiving a litany of corn-

plaints from her son Steve,

age thirteen who has cold

feet about his Bar Mitzvah,

less than a day away. He

tells Iris he doesn't even

know if he believes in God so why is the family going

to such a huge fuss. Vietnam preoccupies his thoughts in this novel set in the

late sixties as he threatens not to show up at his Bar

Mitzvah the next morning.

Iris asks how he can do

this to her and from this point the anticipation of

who is going to do what to

whom progresses at a dizzying speed.

The coincidences in Harvest; are not only predictable, they are deliberately set up

by a continuouS level ot soap opera emotion, sus- tained by Plain through a

plentiful use of highly descriptive adjectives and adverbs, not to mention the repeatea use of 'suddenly' at the most awesome moments of devastation.

Readers squarely ask themselves: it is all downhill

from the time Anna had her

extramarital affair or does

the real trouble begin with

Steven's rebellion the night

before his Bar Mitzvah?

Stern, a plastic surgeon,
