committee is taking steps to ensure increased bus safety after an accident that took the life of three-year-old Claudia Colletti in Westmount two weeks ago.Steps included adopting recom- ~mendations from the parents of a school bus accident victim in 1991.In an emotional presentation to parents Monday night.new Westmounters Leila and Shafik Khouzam outlined their study aimed \u201cat making the government aware of dangers ot school transport in Quebec.\u201d The Khouzams recommend that: drivers accompany students and help them cross the road: that all outings involving children be considered school activities and require the same safety measures as those in effect at school, even on weekends; and that buses make their stop 20 metres away from the next intersection.The Khouzams and the committee are requesting that transport companies implement the recommendations within the next two weeks.\u201cThese recommendations can be put into action immediately with no additional cost to transport companies,\u201d said Shafik Khouzam.Companies that don\u2019t should be held \u201ccriminally responsible for any deaths caused by their refusal to comply,\u201d he added.Three mistakes were present during the accident on Wood Ave., he added, and are repeated every school day.One is that the drop off point forced children to cross the street, the bus was early, and the bus was not flat-nosed.In all cases involving students INDEX Between the Lines.7 Classified.16 Community calendar .2 Editorial.6 Examining the files .7 Firelog .11 Letters to the editor .\u2026.6 Policelog.4

explain why they think \u201cflat-nose\u201d buses would be safter than the \u201clong-nose\u201d type now in common use.and school buses, \u201cthe blame is on the child\u201d said Leila Khouzam.\u201cWe always leave the responsibility of children\u2019s safety to children.I thought our children were safe \u2014 we didn\u2019t realize the depth of the problem.\u201d At the well-attended meeting, parents also formed a bus safety committee aimed first at getting the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal to agree to having all buses drop students on their own side of the street.A petition circulated by Roslyn students for flat-nose buses will also make up the parents\u2019 study and subsequent recommendations to the board.The committee will also study increasing the number of monitors on buses.\u201cWe're trying to prevent it from ever happening again,\u201d said chair- Photo hy 71 THR MeCABE woman Claire Adamson.The committee will also write to all parents with children who take school buses, to invite them to participate.\u201cThe school will become involved as a whole,\u201d said Adamson.Parents also want the board to get drivers to stick to their schedule.Adamson said parents com- More phone lines installed for blackouts By BERNIE O'NEILL The Examiner More phone lines will be made available so homeowners affected by weekend power outages will at least be able to leave a message with the Light and Power department, city hall said this week.The move follows complaints from residents in the Victoria- Grosvenor area that they got a busy signal at the utility\u2019s 24-hour phone line during two Friday-night outages in February and March.The 15 new lines will also let residents get information on an outage if they can\u2019t get through to a Light and Power employee.Mayor Peter Trent said he got a number of calls at his home from frustrated residents during one of the outages.He said the city takes the outages seriously.The mayor was responding to Grosvenor resident Huguette Kihl, who presented an 85- name petition from residents secking an explanation and financial compensation for two blackouts.Kihl said last week that one of the people she spoke to while collecting names had kept her telephone re-dial on for two hours straight, repeatedly dialing the emergency number during the second blackout.Light and Power director Danny Ponzo said the cause of the March 17 outage, which affected nine city blocks, could not be pinned down, but seems to have cleared itself.The first outage was unavoidable, coming during a safety check following the major water main burst Feb.17.[2B sou FREE 8\u201dx10\u201d SPECIALS with the development of any colour film BLES Colour enlargement with the development of any colour film C-41

changes.Finally, members adopted the recommendations from the Khouzams, who are lobbving for stricter guidelines for transport companies and their drivers.They also recommend that: all buses be fat-nosed to improve visibility; that drivers be obligated to take à training course of at least 40 hours and undergo mandatory medical check-ups; that in case of an accident, the driver be suspended for a certain period of time; that the transport company be held responsible for the actions of their drivers.A demerit system for transport companies must be established, they say, and if a company has too many, a driver must lose his or her licence for a certain period.The Khouzams also recommend that the police be made awarc of the importance of respecting the law and understanding that the transport of school children is not a traffic nuisance; that all gadgets, such as infrared or radar detectors must be avoided \u201cas they give a false sense of security.\u201d Trent, Wright to speak

3 Much ado about dogs Council debates new ideas for Summit By BERNIE O\u2019NEILL The Examiner Local dog owners got some more bones to chew on this week as city council tried to come to some consensus on new controls for local dog runs and dogs at Summit Park, something one of the councillors called \u201can explosive issue.\u201d The councillors were discussing recommendations from a meeting of dog owners, the municipal association, the horticultural society and the bird and wildlife association, councillors and others.While no new bylaw was unleashed, the councillors seemed to agree with one proposal: that dogs should be kept on their leashes at the Summit during the birds\u2019 nesting season.This would be, roughly, from April 15 to June 15.The idea appears to be one that would appease those who view the Summit as a nature preserve, without overly inconveniencing dog owners.Councillors did agree that West- mounters should, in essence, be top dog in their own dog runs.Mayor Peter Trent pointed out that the dog run going up in Hampstead will be for Hampsteaders only.They then discussed the proposal to charge a $100 fee to non-West- mounters for a Westmount dog tag and use of the runs, or banning nonresident dogs altogether, without being able to come to an agreement.Trent compared the runs to the city\u2019s tennis courts, which are off limits to non-residents.But councillor John Lehnert said the runs could be viewed more like the library, where non-residents are welcome but are charged a membership fee.Among the group's other recommendations were more enforcement, and a proposal to change the name Summit Park to Summit Woods, an idea that none of the councillors seemed to find that fetching, except for John Bridgman.\u201c1 think it gives people the notion that we are trying to preserve this area for its natural beauty,\u201d he said.The mayor said he was on the receiving end of dog-owners\u2019 ire after Lehnert wrote an opinion piece in THE EXAMINER advocating turning Summit Park into a nature preserve and building a separate dog-run at the Summit to accommodate the dogs.Trent made it clear he does not favour banning dogs trom the Summit, and shouldn\u2019t have ended up in the doghouse with dog own- crs over something he didn\u2019t write.Councillor Jim Wright said he had sympathy for people with big dogs who need a place for the animal to run loose, but also wondered whether the place for a big dog is in the country.Councillor Herbert Bercovitz questioned whether there isn't a whole constituency of residents who don\u2019t own dogs and aren't bird watchers who haven't been heard from.Selling?Buying?For real estate advice in confidence, please call me.AS LULU ROYAL LEPAGE A 1 Chartered Real Fstate Broker Res.482-6472 MICHAEL LALLY Off.934-7420 Affihated Real Estate Agent 140] 14 YEARS OF SERVICE APRIL 1, 1981 -

number of bedrooms and baths.storage needs, room for future expansion, recreation facilities, etc.If you're willing to compromise on any requirements, say so.Be flexible about architecture, and consider looking at a variety of home styles.Be particular about the location of the house.It's the one thing you'll never be able to remodel.Final advice: Be candid about your finances and what you can afford.This information will come out sooner or later and you'll be wasting time by looking at houses that are beyond your means.eal \u201cCEstate By Reg Morden MOVING?Re/Max covers Canada coast to coast Share of market St John's Nfld.41,2% Fredericton, NB 28,9% Québec, Qc 39,8% Aurora, Ont 32,9% Brampton, Ont 34,9% Hamilton, Ont 29,8% Mississauga, Ont 47,3% Oakville, Ont 26,4% Oshawa, Ont 40,1% Toronto, Ont 30,6% Winnipeg, Man 22,4% Regina, Sask 27,1% Saskatoon, Sask 31,0% Calgary, Alta 34,2% Edmonton, Alta 38,4% W Vancouver, BC 22,1% Victoria, BC 21,8% If you are moving and will need at your new destination, call me.| will help you locate a career professional to make the transition a smooth one.Morden, ae Res ax Westmount inc.Chartered Real Estate Broker 1330 Greene Avenue, Westfnount.Telephone: 933-6781 or 937-7061 independently owned and operated P.S.We are also the leader in the U.S., Mexico and the Caribbean.BROWN \u2014 DE] THIS WEEK'S TAKE OUT IN-STORE SPECIALS $ e SPECIALS VALID FROM WED.APRIL 5 TO TUES APRIL 11, 1995 CF CL Ee LEY EY EXTENDED HOURS beginrung April 16th and continuing throughout PARTY SANDWICHES (a8 PIECES) th doily from 7 20 m | Mi h anda ont 1100 pm |[EVERYDAY LOW PRICE $12.25 NEW NEW NEW PINEAPPLE CHICKEN GET 1/2 LB.rea.ss.o0iLs.puy 12.8.FIRIEIE HOUMOUS REG.$3.99/LB.BUY ILB.FRE BAKED RIGATONI DINNER WITH MEAT SAUCE SPECIAL REG.$9.00/CONT.$4.50/CONT.RECEIVE | BAG OF PITA BREAD FRESH YOU SAVE FROM BROWN DERBYS 3.00 OWN BAKE SHOP CHERRY CHEESE STRUDEL Reg.$4.49 E SAEs » YOU SAVE $1.50 YOU SAVE $4.50 BREAKFAST SPECIAL Restaurant Only BAGEL BURGER LUNCH SPECIAL ROAST CHICKEN LEG, POTATO, BEVERAGE $Ges na OF PERCH THIS WEEK'S SELECTIONS ox WHITLFISH TURKEY BREAST DI GARDIN FRESH SALAD wine, SLICED GRILLED CHICKEN BI Includes: Soup or Small Salad, with à star.NO sharing, no substitution SERVED WITH: CHEF SAL DINNER ROLLS 4 BUTTER COFFEE, TEA OR SOFT DRINK.COFFEE CAKE, JELLO OR RICE PUDDING PLAMONDON Includes: Bagel, Lox & Cream Cheese gmnished with Tomato & Onion, Colfee FROZEN MINI BLINTZES MON.APRIL 10th TO FRIDAY APRIL 14th, 95 11AM TO 3 PM Restaurant Only TABLE D'HOTE EVENING MENU SUNDAY TO THURSDAY From 5:00 p.m.- Closing ROAST D WITH MINT JELLY BASY BLEF Les LAVER WITH OMIONS BR!

No.14 Thursday, April 6, 1995 Progressive approach to EMFs an example to follow estmount city council and administration took a most unusual and precedent-setting step recently in the interests of public health.The decision has already been made to build a new electric substation below the lawn bowling green located next to city hall \u2014 with moncy coming from the federal and provincial governments as part of the infrastructure program.Following concern from the nearby Akiva School on Kensington Avenue, the city decided to take every precaution to avoid any danger that could come from the clec- tromagnetic field the underground instalHla- tion would emit.Power lines, whether above ground or below, have been linked by some to a vari- cty of illnesses, including depression.insomnia and cancer, particularly leukemia.Connections have been drawn between the radio waves and suicide rates in certain places.In 1990.after rescarching the subject for two years, the US.Environmental Protection Agency concluded that low frequency emissions, such as those from power lines, be classified as \u201cpossible carcinogens.\u201d This recommendation, however, was deleted from the final report once the White House got through with it.One thing that seems certain is that the amount of electromagnetic radiation in our atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate.Some estimates indicate that the growth of signals from radio wave transmissions will increase by a factor of 1.000 between 1990 and 2000.This poses the risk of an environmentally related illness that is new to the human condition.Only in the last half century have the conditions existed for this to begin taking a toll.Dozens of everyday devices that we have taken for granted are implicated in the danger: microwave ovens, cellular phones, clock radios, electric razors, televisions, computers, clectric blankets and numerous others.In fact, the U.S.embassy in the Soviet Union was bombarded with radio waves between 1959 and 1980.During that time, two of the four ambassadors died of cancer and a third died of a rare blood disease.To avoid any danger, or any perception that a danger exists from the substation, the city has hired an expert on the subject from Philadelphia (I guess we're low on experts pround here) and flown him up here to offer advice on the safety of the substation project.Evidently, we are told, there is nothing to worry about.The city will construct the station underground in a north-south configuration instead of cast-west one to ensure that the EMF levels pose no health risk.The city\u2019s move has to be praised because.whether or not à real danger exists, the citv is taking the wise step of erring on the side of caution.This is an approach governments don\u2019t scem to take as a rule.Quebec's former commitment to the Great Whale hydro project is just one example of this.Usually the onus is on those concerned about the environment to prove that something is dangerous or harmful in some way before government is willing to do something.But council has taken the approach that it is better to assume there could be a danger until proof is found to the contrary.On the political level, this is also a wise step.It diffuses any uproar that could con- ccivably surface, particularly from parents of children who go to the school.But this concern on the part of the mayor and the rest of the city sets an interesting precedent.It also makes it difficult for other mayors to shrug off the risks, now that a \u201clegitimate\u201d body has taken these risks seriously.Mayor Peter Trent's actions will always have wider implications, just by virtue of his position as chairman of the Conference of Suburban Mayors.There may be those among Trent's fellow mayors, Dollard des Ormeaux\u2019s Ed Janiszewski particularly, who may not appreciate Westmount giving credence to the idea that electromagnetic fields can make people sick.Janiszewski has been on and off the hot seat because of plans to put a cycling path along the hydro right-of-way in that West Island town.Opposition was fierce from a small group of citizens, who cven made suggestions that power lines in Dollard could be linked to cases of cancer therc.While this is unproven, EMFs have been the subject of hot debate in the scientific community in recent years, one that will only intensifv as we are increasingly confronted with this new kind of \u201cpollution.\u201d Every precaution should continue to be taken.Other potential risks of this kind in the city from EMFs should also be investigated to ensure there aren't any serious problems waiting to flare up.Co nr Craig, MeKee.ste 240 #8 £ Our Mayor Peter F.Trent says.Circulation and circulation ast Thursday found me deep in the | concrete catacombs of Place Bonaventure, where no sunlight ever penetrates.| was there for a pre-press-confer- ence meeting with Jacques Léonard, Minister of Transport, along with other fellow members of a new round table on regional transport issues.It will have to be a big table: there will be 30 of us.| now belong to so many tables that I could open a restaurant.Am | the only person to perspire profusely in such small.stuffy meeting rooms with work-to-rule ventilation?Trussed up in tic.shirt, and suit, with something wet trickling down the small of my back, | tried to be witty and interested.And this was 8 a.m.with a whole day to be got through.Now | sce why Jean Doré put in a shower next to his office.Is 1t for this humans emerged from the prehistoric ooze?To be mummified in broadcloth and wool and denied natural light and ventilation?What a piece of work is à man, said Shakespeare.What a nasty piece of work are his unnatural surroundings.The outside of Place Bonaventure is literally falling apart.Have you seen the state of the exposed concrete panels?The ribs, weakened when cast and sandblasted, are riddled with freeze/thaw damage.It looks as if the building has mange.At the press conference, M.Léonard read the usual speech which was at [east 45 minutes long.No matter how good the speaker, a prepared speech is invariably dull.Even Demosthenes himself would have put people to sleep with today\u2019s plodding written speeches.But modern political handlers insist on prepared speeches to make sure their charges never utter a wayward word that could make waves.Spontaneity is ruthlessly discouraged.No wonder people distrust politicians.After the speech, as usual, the TV interviewers immediately started shoving microphones at people\u2019s mouths for a reaction.Trouble is, copies of the explanato papers, all 573 pages of them.were only given to us after the press conference.So you wing it.What a way to comment on public policy! Overall, Léonard\u2019s plan 1s a good one.Fundamentally, he is telling us we must consolidate our existing transport network.not expand it.The only highway to be built in the near future is the extension of highway 30 on the South Shore for $30 million.There is a number of measures to reduce car use: more reserved bus lanes, and the introduction of what the Yanks call HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes to encourage car pooling.And $100 million will be spent on low-floor buses.The bad news is that Léonard will tread in Ryan's footsteps and remove any remaining provincial funding of mass transit operating costs in the region.including commuter trains.This could up your tax bill.Cheers.You Say Mayor\u2019s approach exclusionary I am compelled to write in response to last week's column by our mayor, Peter Trent.Firstly.| must say that | look forward to his column cach week, but have become a little dismayed over what appears to be a newly-recurrent theme \u2014 that is, his idea of a \u201cWestmount just for Westmounters.\u201d The sentiment has seemingly crept again (albeit subtly), into the 60th edition column where the mayor comments on who does or doesn't read THE EXAMINER.\u201cTwo camps,\u201d says he, concluding that the latter are often newcomers less interested in this city.I will suggest that this conclusion is not wholly accurate.I have been involved with our local heritage groups over the last year and have met many newcomers who are Rugby excluded from 1 was disappointed that Westmount Rugby did not make it into any of the former stories

should do its utmost to encourage such interest and participation from new residents.In addition, the businesses in this community cannot be supported by Westmounters alone; we need to encourage traffic from outside our boundaries.| am confident that any shop or restaurant owner in the village or along Greene Avenue will confirm this.While we do need to instill pride in our city, which ! would like to hope is Mr.Trent's intention, I believe that a more positive message, rather than an exclusionary one, would be more appropriate.Janet MacKinnon WESTMOUNT 60th starts an avalanche of

in our bedroom.I didn\u2019t realize | was so handy, as they say.Actually | had started The Great Ceiling Fan Project a couple of weeks ago, after buying the fan a few months ago, to keep my wife and

of cutting into the cord of a power tool that is plugged in at the time.(In the end he was fine, other than his hair being messed up with his eyeglasses over to onc side, accentuating his wandering eye, if you can picture it \u2014 the smoke clearing away, the lights flickering, like a \"70s Frankenstein film.) This time my 3/8-inch Skil Reversible Drill worked like a charm \u2014 1 drilled so smoothly and gracefully that passersby were asking whether | was a dentist \u2014 and then replaced the drill in its cardboard box, with not a scratch on me.If I don\u2019t use the drill for another five years | won\u2019t mind, now that | am an expert.It was that simple.The rest of the fan project was not exactly a breeze.Certainly there were the sounds of mild cursing amid the repeated clink- clank of the dropping of small parts.But at least none of the big parts were dropped, such as the motor, and no onc got hacked to picces by the blades, so you could say it went all right.The fan came in a kit of about 25 pieces with 50 screws and washers and 12 pages of instructions that even a linguistics expert would have to read a couple of times before they really sank in, as in, \u201cSecure mounting plate and spark plate to wood joist as per Fig.9 (and) use #8x32 octagon box screws [not supplied] as secondary support.\u201d The instructions also included some helpful tips like, \u201cWarning!

It's uncanny how the political world seems to awaken at the same time as the crocuses do.As a matter of fact, as the financial year ends on March 31st, the government is forced to present its budget of expenses before that fateful date.It happens every year, but this year a few surprises awaited us in this governments first budget of expenses: the level of expenses is exactly the same as the one predicted in last year\u2019s budget.This means there was a freeze on expenses, keeping them at last year\u2019s level.However, this picture does not include the additional $400 million needed to finance the provincial debt.I would have personally preferred some financial efforts geared at absorbing part of the debt and as treasury board critic, I've already said that \u201cin the present situation, announe- ing budgetary cutbacks are necessary.\u201d Upon examining the budget allocations, however, one can\u2019t help but notice the governments lack of priorities.Last year.for example, therc was a five per cent decrease in the budgets of all the ministries in order to ensure a one per cent increase in the budget allocations of the education and health.When they first arrived in power.the \u2018péquiste\u2019 government managed not only to withdraw the budget increase to the education and health departments but also to increase the budget for all the other ministries by five per cent.ministries of Strange, this year, none of the ministries have any sort of budget increase .Yet, there is an exception to every rule.For their independence project, we find $65 million worth of new expenses in the budget allocations.And this is without taking into account all the extra expenses that are probably hidden in some of the ministerial budgets, like the executive committee\u2019s, and the budgetary value, for example, of the 150 civil servants who were released from their usual tasks so they could organize the regional and national commissions.Everyone agrees that they were well-organized, thanks to the work of the civil servants of the Ministry of Communications \u2026 It was just the subject matter that bored people.Another serious consequence of the budget allocations filed last week was the breaking of some election promises: from daycares to nursing homes.After having promised everything and anything during their last election campaign, the government is facing dismissive voters who are grumbling and complaining.To gain the support of the civil servants, the Parti Québécois had even vehemently denounced a one per cent decrease in their salaries which would have recuperated an additional two per cent in budgetary expenses.As we examine the budget allocations, it is obvious, however, that this government lacks vision and that the choices they are making attack priority services to the general population in key sectors of our society, namely: health and education.Good samaritans still exist, local businesswoman finds A local

Victoria 488-9121 JONESY (VICTORIA AND SHERBROOKE) We are an orderly group who revel in the mountain and its beauty and try in every way to keep it clean.When a dog walker doesn\u2019t pick up, we usually offer a bag or do it ourselves.In the spring, we have our own spring cleanup, and we come to the mountain with large garbage bags to clean up as much as we can after a long winter.We are the \u201cFriends of the Mountain\u201d and we don\u2019t need badges or uniforms to prove it.We prove it every day of the week and to think that Mr.Lehnert would relegate us to a very steep part of the mountain that is completely unsuitable, is dangerous.There are many elderly people who take great pleasure in ve their dogs on the Summit, an sat \u201csnow-dumping\u201d arca would not be accessible to them, even with stairs.Most of the parking problems are from weekenders who are not regular walkers.We who arc there everyday take care where we park.and almost never do you see a dog coming down from the Summit to its car unleashed, and we try never to park in front of someone's door.Beryl Parker, President of the Westmount Dog Association, has worked tirelessly on behalf of the dogs and the Summit.Her proposals are excellent and she should be heard.We dog walkers are a large group, and | know that everyone would be willing to participate in any committee that is established to preserve the Summit with all our hearts, as we are the ones that are there most frequently.I hope that this will be settled in all fairness, and may I also suggest that Mr.Lehnert come for a walk someday, so we can meet him, and he can see what he is talking about.Lenora E.Mendelman WESTMOUNT CHRISTIE PLUMBING LIMITED Complete plumbing service Fast - efficient RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL 24-hour
