[" Interested in the Healthy Call +: City Hall at Cities 989-5238 Project?Vol.LXX he Westmount Examiner! Edifice Library Sears up for \u201ccentennial By JEssicA HOWARD 6 À Testmount Public Library \u2014turning the page\u2019 will be the slogan next year for the 100th birthday of Quebec's oldest municipally-funded library.In cooperation with the 125th anniversary of the Westmount committee, the library is starting to make plans.Caroline Thibodeau, Director of library and culture services, said they are thinking of events like monthly readings by Westmount and Montreal authors, centennial membership cards, and perhaps the sale of mugs and bookmarks bearing the centennial logo.The library is also in the process of forming a group called Friends of the Library to contribute ideas and organization to the centennial celebration.It may be old, but Thibodeau said the library is more modern than most in Montreal and has changed with the times.In 1993, older parts of the building were restored and added on to, and its services became automated.This was also the year the library got connected with the Internet and got two computer terminals for public use.Thibodeau said there is a lot of demand for the Internet terminals and that she would like to add more in the future.Library membership is free to Westmounters and Westmount school students.For non-residents, membership costs $125 per year and $45 per year for full-time students.Information: 989-5429 Photo Wayne Larsen ios ec Westmount, Que., Canada, Thursday, August 20, 19!

of cuddly koala bears, fearsome crocodiles.and a vicious piano teacher.Once a week 1 went to Mrs.Gates\u2019 house for my piano lesson, and more than once left it in tears.She started cach lesson by escorting me to the bathroom to wash my hands and inspecting the length of my fingernails before letting me play.The initial ghmmer of hope that 1 would get through my scales and pieces perfectly was always quickly dashed as my chubby, seven-year-old fingers stumbled over the keys, inevitably revealing that 1 hadnt enough.(Why practise when | could already play both \u2018Chopsticks\u2019 and \u2018Heart and Soul?*) Mrs.Gates would heave sighs and became more red-faced with each mistake, saying, \u201cNo\u2014again,\u201d and, \u201cSit up straight this time\u201d.The more red-faced she got, the more mistakes | made.Sometimes she would leave the room to regain her composure, and then come back in with a tight smile as though nothing had happened.You didn\u2019t want to mess with her.Thankfully, my later teachers were more even-tempered and my parents didn\u2019t let me quit, so | played until I was 17, but my lessons always focused on the next nerve-wracking exam or recital.| rarely got the chance to play the music of my choice, because it wouldn't fit into the repertoire of an accomplished pianist.With this kind of prescriptive teaching, it\u2019s no wonder so many people give up on lessons after only a few years, said Pamela Korman and Thierry Prieur, founders of the Westmount Piano Studio.They are committed to treating each student as an individual and designing a personalized program for them, rather than teaching every © © e e Painless piano playing possible The Westmount Piano Studio teaches each student individually, avoiding prescriptive teaching, gritted teeth and disappointment .Thierry Prieur and Pamela Korman with her children Gabrielle and Alexandre, practised at the Westmount Piano Studio on Victoria Avenue.student the same way.Pricur pointed out how, in the first pages of a beginners\u2019 book, the student is told how to sit at the piano and position their hands over the keys, which \u201cimmediately excludes them from the sensory process\u201d of making music.\u201cIt\u2019s like being asked to watch how to do something, but not really being involved in it,\u201d said Korman about this style of learning.Korman said that she might start a new student by playing them some music, \u201cwhether it be Bob Dylan or Beethoven\u201d, talking about it, finding the rhythm and tapping it out on the piano.With each student, Korman and Pricur try to identify the students\u2019 fears and figure out how to approach them.For example, | tried to play a Chopin Nocturne for them that 1 once played at a recital.Since | haven't played in over a year, my fingers felt like bananas and each mistake made me grit my teeth a little harder.Sensing my tension, Prieur asked me to play the first few bars again, using only the fourth and fifth fingers of my right hand.Without the use of all my fingers, | had to manoever with my wrist and arm, and immediately began to loosen up physically.They also immediately dispelled my fear of hitting the wrong notes by reminding me that without mistakes we don\u2019t learn how to improve.| For Korman and Prieur, cach MY student is part of their research 8 on how to teach more effectively land instill a love of making music.Pricur said that it helped onc of his more nervous students to relax by playing standing up; with another, he spent as many lessons as it took to teach him the notes by drawing them on paper.Korman found that onc of her students could play to the chant \u201cI like ice cream,\u201d much more casily than the count of 1- 2-3-4.They also try to involve the student in choosing how they practise, designing their own exercises, and playing the kinds of music they like.The studio has two concerts during the year, but doesn\u2019t force students to perform, and tries to emphasize sharing the music with others.Korman said that they have no problem with preparing students for exams or competitions, as long as they are not the sole focus of the lesson.Although both teachers learned to play the piano through prescriptive methods, and started out teaching their own students that way, they were frustrated with its limitations \u201cWhen | saw students losing interest, | felt awful, and personally responsible,\u201d said Korman.It was after she and Pricur met in 1989, while doing graduate work with Phil Cohen, an innovative music professor at Concordia University, that they changed their teaching philosophy and decided to open a school based on it.The studio has been operating for the past ycar with 35 students, but is in the process of moving to 326 Victoria Avenue, where they start teaching on September 1.The studio has room for more students, and it is possible to have lessons either there or at your home.For more information

City Hall Monday night for a consultation meeting on the proposed construction blasting at 9 Gordon Crescent, and most left with a sensc of reassurance.What they got was a firm commitment from the contractor to keep the inconvenience to a minimum, plus a detailed analysis of the possible effects of blasting on their homes from independent blasting expert Louis Denoncourt, who was brought in by the City.The use of dynamite in that area, residents were told, would have a minimal effect on the surrounding properties.\u201cHe (Denoncourt) explained the mechanics of blasting, with the potential for damage,\u201d said one neighbour who came out of the meeting much happier than when he arrived.\u201cI trusted him\u2014I left with a sense that there was no point pursuing something that is not that risky.\u201d The meeting was chaired by Mayor Peter Trent, with acting Director General Fred Caluori, Building and Planning director Joanne Poirier and lawyer Sylvie DeVito representing the City of Westmount.Divco Construction chairman Sam Aberman and Salvatore Oppedisamo of Dury Consulting were joined by architect Michel Languedoc to represent the controversial renovation project, and Sam Ralph attended as a representative of the owner of 9 Gordon Crescent.An estimated 25 citizens came from the arca immediately surrounding the property, as far as Lexington Avenue to the west and Surrey Gardens to the east.\u201cIt was the right thing to do,\u201d Trent said of the mecting.\u201cI think it was important to shed some light on what the problems really were.In this case | think the bJasting issue was just the icing on a pretty bitter cake, but now | think things have calmed down a bit.\u201d He added that Aberman did much to reassure the assembled residents, explaining some aspects of what many have seen as a mystery construction project over the past four years.\u201cSam helped an awful lot,\u201d Trent said.\u201cHe was certainly very forthright in telling cvery- one exactly what was going on and what steps would be taken to reduce the inconvenience to neighbours.\u201d One Summit Crescent resident said that Aberman promised to do everything humanly possible to reduce the inconvenience to nearby property owners.\u201cThe bottom linc is that he said he would finish the project as quickly as possible, as well as reduce the noise and dust.\u201d Aberman assured the neighbours that work on the site will now be restricted to 8 a.m.to 5 p.m.as opposed to the 7 a.m.to 10 p.m.schedule the workers had been following.Labour will still be carried out on Saturdays, but in order to keep the noise down, no heavy machinery will be used.Trent pointed out that Abcrman has been involved in 30 to 40 blasting projects in Westmount with no significant damage to surrounding properties.(See Blasting, page 5) The Westmount Examiner 4 - Thursday, August 20, 1998 Fire calls Individual & Family Therapy NEED HELP?Depression Anxiety Stress Phobias Marital Problems

sure to walk near the Summit Crescent and Gordon Crescent areas.Why, you ask?You may have heard the saying \u201cGood fences make good neighbours.\u201d In the case of this arca of Westmount, perhaps a sound barrier would be more appropriate.For some of the citizens in this part of town, there is no end to the frustration they arc encountering because of a neighbour at 9 Gordon Crescent who many feel has gone way beyond the bounds of normal conduct by doing renovations for four years on his house.Dynamite will be uscd during the building of an extension to the garage, although an expert said the cffects to neighbouring houses will be minimal.The neighbour, allegedly a wealthy businessman in the clothing industry who owns the company which owns the house, cannot be reached for comment.The construction company has been acting as his emissary promising improvements in both the scheduled times of work and the noise level.This remains to be seen.I believe this is a serious issue.The owner should be a lot more neighbourly and personally address the concerns of his fellow Westmounters, and provide an opportunity whereby everyone can have their say.RVH oncology move is justified To the editor: We read with interest and concern the article that appeared in the Westmount Examiner on July 30th, 1998 (Westmount volunteer pushing petition to help RVH cancer victims).We would like to try to explain the position of the Department of Radiation Oncology and of the McGill University Health Centre, and correct some of the misconceptions expressed in the article.Radiation Oncology is a highly technical branch of modern medicine.Optimal care for the majority of paticnts requires access to a range of highly sophisticated equipment for treatment planning and for treatment itself.At McGill we have, for more than 20 years now, had a single department of Radiation Oncology with treatment facilities at three sites, namely the Montreal General Hospital (MGH), the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) and the Jewish General Hospital (JGH)\u2014 and we have for all of this time managed to avoid unnccessary duplication of cquipment.This has meant that patients requiring treatment with a technique or with equipment not available at one of the hospitals have routincly been transferred to the appropriate site.\u2014Leonard J Gervais Since more than 90 per cent of our patients arc outpatients, and since more than 50 per cent of our patients are referred from hospitals other than the MGH, RVH or JGH, this has never been a problem and we think that the patients have understood very well that this is done in their best interest.There have been tremendous developments in treatment planning and in treatment over the past decade.Atthe MGH in particular, we have been able to upgrade our equipment to kecp up with these developments as a result of generous private donations and government support.Thus, when in February, 1997, it was necessary to consider solutions to problems at the RVH that include a shortage of medical manpower and lack of space to expand or upgrade the treatment facilities, among other factors.It was decided after much deliberation to procced with the consolidation of all activities on one site, namely the MGH.The plan that was developed calls for the installation of additional equipment at the MGH, and extension of the treatment hours into the cvening.By so doing, we will be able to accommodate patients who would currently be recciving their treatment at the RVH while keeping the waiting time within acceptable limits.The quality of care will be closely dre a Lo AY ' EE monitored throughout the transfer process, which will begin with the move of the brachytherapy program before the end of this month.We strongly belicve that the consolidation of activities at the MGH will maintain and even improve patient care by offering all patients cqual access to state-of-the-art carc delivered in a timely manner.Carolyn R.Freeman, M.B,,

to Councillor John Bridgman to alert readers to the support of Lorraine Semienchuk s stance on the Bruce Avenue sound barrier issue.Her treatment has aroused a lot of anger in District 8, as is evident from Mr.© Reichelson's letter in your August 13 edition.Dear Mr.Bridgman: Recently 1 received a reply from Mayor Trent to a letter 1 wrote decrying the adverse influence the noise level from the highway and train traffic is having on an already alarmingly soft rental market.My reply was dated July 8.yet you are quoted in The Examiner (\u2018Bruce Avenue resident demands sound barrier\u2019, August 6) as having no knowledge of any other dissatisfaction with the lack of progress on a sound barrier other than that voiced by Lorraine Semienchuk at the August 3 council meeting.The negatives resulting from what you allow as a noise pollution problem and the attendant house reverberation side effects are multiple and growing daily.| would like to invite you to come and stand outside my duplex on Bruce Avenue any time up until midnight, to discuss the problem.| reckon our chances would be very slim because we would not be able to hear each other.In two months of constant print advertising, the number of good tenants who loved my upper apartment but had to turn it down because of the noise is as depressing as it is financially draining.My rental woes notwithstanding, it\u2019s irresponsible for elected officials to consider building renovations as having precedence over the health of their citizens.| refer, of course, to the noise level which is presently 20 decibels over the acceptable limit of 55.The mayor's attitude towards petitions borders on the immoral, but more to the point underlines a growing disconnect between himself and his constituents.The residents of District 8 are suffering.It is incumbent upon this council to respond to that suffering and prevent the further erosion of our quality of life by erecting a sound barrier.B.A.Mantel Bruce Avenue New hope for FM radio listeners To the editor: Fed up and not going to take it any more?Tired of hearing about Lewinsky, Chrétien, Yeltsin, Martin, Clinton and Bouchard?I\u2019ve discovered a quick exit\u2014and it doesn\u2019t mean shooting yourself.I've discovered (perhaps after most people) that theres a new FM station on the radio dial\u2014 99.5\u2014 that broadcasts wall-to- wall great music with just a smidgen of commercials and a dollop of news that you can turn down if you're quick enough.Anyone over 40 remembers the days when FM was synonymous with good music, but when sterco was developed, it was doomed.Only the CBC was left, and it seemed a station one could get in Vermont was squeezed out.too.Enjoy while you can\u2014maybe it\u2019s an

workplace has also transformed golf Editor's note: This is the second in a two -part series on golf and the changing attitudes towards, and acceptance of, women in the sport.BY MARYLIN SMITH CARSLEY Female status in golf is not on equal footing with that of men.Women approach the next milennium desiring to be part of the golf world as full-fledged equal members, and although discrimination is diminishing, club rules based on sex are still one the biggest problems in Canada.Unfair status does still exist in some private clubs.Golf is becoming increasingly popular and its participants include people from all income groups, although most courses cater to the wealthy.Women comprise the fastest growing segment of the golfing population and they are playing for both business and recreational purposes.At many clubs, however, women cannot hold a property right in their membership even though they may be paying for it, they have no right to vote in club affairs and no real say in the governance of club life.Occasionally, desirable weekend tee times are unavailable to them because they are women and some clubs deny women entry into what's known as \u2018The Men's Grill\u2019 (a men\u2019s only dining room).This club world is deeply fastened to a world of male elitism and exclusion.The late 19th century demonstrated exclusion of Catholics, Jews, Italians and Blacks from the white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant Clubs.Some of these _ groups formed their | own clubs and locked out others.But even these older clubs shared one common brand of À exclusion\u2014women of any race, religion and status.} The world has changed and the movement for gender equality in the workplace has transformed society.If | the world of golf Ë was starting fresh today, this inequality would probably not be an issue.If women arc finding advancement in their | careers, shouldn't it permeate outdated golf club policies?Men should stop blaming old, unfair rules solely on tradition.Some of Canada\u2019s older private clubs have recognized the female action in golf.The Financial Post recently estimated that close to 40 per cent of Canadian private clubs base their membership privileges on the golfer\u2019s sex.The Post article also stated that the initiation fee for a full membership at the Royal Montreal Golf Club on fle Bizzard was $17,500 with annual dues of $3,281, while restricted membership was $8,500 with dues of $1,800.Women paying the difference can move to the unrestricted category.In most older Canadian clubs there is only a minority of ladies exercising this new option.Ironically, reverse discrimination exists when men want to downgrade but cannot, as the clubs can\u2019t afford it.Male control is still in force at Summerlea Golf Course in Vaudreuil/Dorion.Summerlea Ladies Captain Anne Pate admits that there is no female representation on the board, although women comprise 35 per cent of the membership.The women recently wrote a letter requesting female participation on the board, but the men rejected the proposal and to date there is also no official ruling regarding women members becoming senior members.Although there is a ladies executive, final approval of these female decisions must still come from the men.Attendance at the Annual General Meeting is barred to women as you must be a senior member\u2014a male over 33 years of age.Alive and unfortunately well at Summerlea is the notorious \u2018Men\u2019s Grill\u2019 or \u2018Senior Lounge\u2019.It is against the rules for a woman to dine in this areca, but it is not written that a female can\u2019t walk through.Sitting is adamantly denied, although female waitresses do serve the men.They.too, aren't permitted to sit down.pe: Japanese courtesans while away the time playing à form of indoor golf.(Courtesy The Complete Golfer) Another astonishing fact: 19-year-old male Summerlea members are entitled to full playing privileges while adult females may pay more and never experience any of the advantages of a man of any age.Pate is optimistic that their Research and Betterment Committee will eventually modify the rules for female representation and voting rights, equal playing times and the associate member (female) becoming a full member.In contrast, Elm Ridge Golf Club on Île Bizzard, embedded in 75 years of tradition, has altered its rules on gender cquality.One board unites men and women and one of the female board representatives, Jackie Margolese, said the Elm Ridge women arc involved in every committee.Women are permitted to vote, once the voting share is allocated to them through their husbands.There is no \u2018Men\u2019s Grill\u2019 and tee times are less restricted.Paying full fees gives women voting power at Hillsdale Golf Club in Ste Thérese.Betty Goldwarg, ladies club captain, admits that none of the women belong to this category yet.Betty is hopeful that Hillsdale will follow Elm Ridge\u2019s lead to one board for all.The \u2018Men\u2019s Grill\u2019 has been abolished but there still rests, in full view, a men\u2019s lounge that prohibits entry to women at certain times.Within time, this door of exclusion will be unhinged and open to all.On a more optimistic note, the women have been invited to play in the club championships this year.Startling changes are forthcoming in four years when Hillsdale will have a female president.The two female board members at Beaconsficld Golf Club are permitted to votc, but a Ladies\u2019 Exccutive decides on particular issucs independently of male approval.Beverley Hamilton, ladies president, witnessed the end of the Men's Grill.Open playing times are available if women pay the full price.Beverley is pleased with the sense of cquality at her club.At Club de Golf Belocil on Montreal's South Shore, equality exists with one board of men and women and the equal allocation of shares which gives everyone a vote.There is no scparate male cating arca and since 1980 anybody can enter as a full member.Mariclle Carpentier, a member for 30 years, proudly confirmed that the majority of women pay the same fces as the men, and enjoy all privileges.The freedom of choice is evident at this progressive club.Many United States golf clubs have been the target of litigation based upon their gender policics.No doubt the number would increase if North American women subjected to inferior treatment, would go public and not fear being labeled \u2018troublemaker\u2019.The LPGA has declared that it will not hold tournaments at clubs that refuse to grant women cqual status.With a world more conscious of civil rights, it 1s amazing to sec blatantly discriminatory practices against women in golf clubs in Canada and elsewhere.Some of the men running the country clubs sce their pattern of privilege as natural.But the men are not the only ones to blame\u2014often wives fail to follow their conscience because they fear the displeasure of their husbands.Most women find gender-based rules insulting, abusive and downright unfair.Outdated policies will remain unchanged as long as they go unchallenged.Women.Relinquish the past Keep your head steady and down Follow through with your motion To keep women and men at par in golf. 8 - Thursday, August 20, 1998 City honours garden judges Hélie and Noseworthy thanked for participation Representatives of ncarly 20 local organizations gathered in the Westmount Public Library on Friday for a lunchcon in honour of the two judges of this years Communities in Bloom competition.Andrée Hélie of Quebec and Hubert G.Noseworthy of St.John's, Newfoundland werc officially thanked for their participation in the annual event by city councillor Cynthia Lulham.Hélic is a McGill graduate with a diploma in horticulture who currently teaches ecological horticulture and floristry at Quebec\u2019s Commission scolaire des Patriotes.She has been a judge in the annual Villes, villages ct campagnes fleuris competition since 1989.Noscworthy recently retired as manager of the Parks Services Division in St.John's, where he supervised the maintenance of all city parks, open spaces and sports facilitics.He is also a member of various national and local horticultural and landscaping associations.In a brief speech, during which he munity groups representing a population of 20,000, Mayor Peter Trent emphasized the importance of the annual Communities in Bloom competition as one way of preserving Westmount\u2019s green space and architecture for future generations.\u201cWe are only great because we stand on the shoulders of past generations,\u201d he said.Joking that he often tells Montreal mayor Pierre Bourque that Montreal is merely a suburb of Westmount, Trent pointed out that horticultural events are only a few of many ways the City is ensuring a healthy, envi- ronmentally-friendly future.\u201cWe have the most stringent non-smoking laws in Quebec,\u201d he said, \u201cand next year we will be completely banning pesticides.We're now looking at composting.\u201d Some of the many local organizations represented at the noon-hour event were the Westmount Dog Owners Association, the TAG Teen Centre, the Boy Scouts, Westmount Youth Orchestra, the WAG community garden, and the Dolphins swim team.The Westmount Examiner Blasting: Neighbours reassured (Continued from page 3) Although Divco has yet to apply to the City for a blasting permit, Trent said he sees no legal reason to deny it.He did, however, stipulate certain conditions for blasting in the area\u2014a blasting consultant must be on the scene to supervise, and the equipment must be recalibrated and adjusted following each charge.Yesterday, Trent was drafting a summary of Monday\u2019s meeting along with the City\u2019s position on the issue, copies of which will be sent to residents in the immediate vicitity of 9 Gordon Crescent.But while pleased with the reception the residents received, Bernard Cloutier of Summit Crescent said he was given few concrete answers.\u201cIt\u2019s not clear what we came out with,\u201d said Cloutier, who has been at the forefront of the citizen protest against the over four-year renovation project.\u201cThe City is supposed to assess the situation, so right now things aren't very clear.\u201d But Cloutier was quick to add that he was encouraged by the amount of people who came to voice their concerns.\u201cThe people's response was overwhelming,\u201d he said.\u201cThere were even people from the west side of Gordon Crescent at the meeting\u2014people we had- n\u2019t been able to get a hold of earlier.\u201d Last Friday the Westmount fire department arrived at the Gordon Crescent property to hose down the surrounding trees which had been covered by the dust raised by jackhammers.This, Caluori said, is a standard practice at construction sites to reduce the buildup of dust.But Cloutier complains that toxic dust is covering the entire neighbourhood.\u201cWhen [| got home Saturday evening | took a walk around my property,\u201d Q he said.\u201cIt felt like 1 was sticking my head into a mortar bag\u2014there was dust everywhere.\u201d Cloutier added that he was not surprised by the contractor\u2019s promise to tone down the noise and inconvenience for the sake of the neighbours.\u201cOnce you're in your fourth year of construction,\u201d he said, \u201cyou have to make some concessions.\u201d expressed surprise at seeing so many com- AVIS PUBLIC ASSEMBLEE PUBLIQUE DE CONSULTATION PREMIER PROJET DE REGLEMENT No 1237 MERCREDI 2 SEPTEMBRE 1998 17H30 À

this 20th day of August 1998.Me Marie-France Paquet City Clerk 40203476 Healthy Cities looks for residents\u2019 input on herbicide To spray or not to spray herbicide along the Canadian Pacific railway tracks remains a controversial problem in Westmount, one that may not be easily solved.\u201cThere is no way we can support the use of herbicide in the City, however mild,\u201d said Don Wedge, a director of the Westmount Healthy Cities Project.\u201cOn the other hand, we are totally sympathetic to the City\u2019s position because CP claims that by not using a herbicide, it will damage the tracks\u2014endangering train riders and the population next to the tracks.\u201d Duc to the conflicting schools of thought on this question, the Westmount Healthy Cities Project\u2019s advisory committee is currently looking for citizens\u2019 comments and suggestions, which it will take into consideration prior to the upcoming public consultation meeting with CP at City Hall on Monday, August 31.CP wants to spray the herbicide Roundup on the tracks along Westmount's southern boundary to prevent the growth of weeds on the railbed.Copies of CP\u2019 proposal have been available to the public throughout the summer at City Hall.Anyone with comments or suggestions for the Healthy Cities Project advisory committee is invited to get in touch with Don Wedge at 931-0197.NEEDED! @19 PEOPLE @ RRR pg 10 TO 30 POUNDS QIN 30 DAYS § VITASANTE GROUP ASK FOR: NATHALIE @ 514-824-9244 @ Thursday, August 20, 1998 - 9 The Westmount Examiner St.George\u2019s playing field plans to proceed By JESSICA HOWARD Bulldozers may soon be returning to the area of green space on the corner of Cedar Avenue and de Ramezay Street.Over the past few weeks, St.George\u2019s school, Tradau (the local homeowners association), Les & nis de la montagne, and the City of Montreal have been involved in discussions over the school\u2019s plans to turn the land into a playing field.The landscaping of the area was stymied early last month when area residents found that the school chopped down several trees and bushes on the heritage site without consulting Tradau or getting a permit from the city.St.Georges principal Jim Officer said that residents had every right to be upset and that ever since the incident, the school has tried to be \u201cas unobtrusive as possible\u201d by consulting the residents on their plans and revising them several times.The school will be paying an undetermined fine for cutting down the trees, and has made à donation to Les Amis de la Montagne as à show of goodwill.St.Georges will also be spending mm excess of $30,000 on the development of the playmg field which Officer hopes will go ahead in September.The school\u2019s fourth set of plans have been accepted by the Commité Consultative de Montreal pour la protection des biens culturels.an independent group that advises the city on whether the plans are aesthetically appropriate for an arca that is part of Mount Royal.The comite\u2019s approval is await mg the approval of the aty\u2019s Lawyers and its executive committee.\\s long as the the city 15 satisfied that adequate consideration and consultation has gone on.the school will be legally able to start landscaping, said comite member Raymonde Gauthier.But that doesn't mean that area residents are happy with the situation.Tradau went over the plans at a mecting on August 11 and got the school\u2019s answers to a list of 16 questions on safety and logistical issues.[It was agreed that no furniture would be put on the land, trees would be replanted to extend the wooded area, and that the natural slope of the land would not be reduced below a four per cent incline, said Bob Hackett, a Tradau member and discussion mediator.Hackett, who is also a lawyer for Les Amis de la Montagne, said that changing the topography of the land was of particular concern to residents because they felt it was unnecessary to completely flatten the land, and that it would further disturb the wildlife.Tradau members were also split on the question of whether the remains of the stone cistern on the land should be removed by the school.Although several of the resi dents\u201d concerns have been settled, Tradau president Vincent Prager said he 1s still concerned about the schools level of commitment.\u201cJim Officer has been very helpful.but unfortunately, his views don\u2019t necessarily reflect the schools board of directors.\u201d Both Hackett and Prager said that the issue 1s still quite emotional, particularly as residents return from vacation to see the area transformed.\u201cSome of the residents have been living there for many years and had become very attatched to the woods.\u201d said Hackett.Cedar Avenue resident Elizabeth Taylor said that although the discussions between the school and Tradau have been positive and that J Officer has been vers forthcoming, \u201cthe hare will be standing up on the hack of our necks the comu dav the bulldozers hack.Well ali be watchmg\u201d (Continued from page 4) Tuesday, August 11 12:16 a.m.300 Landsdowne: Water leak due to broken hot water

one of a mother\u2019s biggest worries on the first day of school was whether her child would remember to finish his lunch.Today many working parents have another concern: Who will care for their children from the time school lets out until they arrive home from work?Often, the children are left to fend for themselves.These children are called latchkey children because they often wear house keys on a string around their necks.The latchkey experience is not for everyone, however, so how do you know if your child is ready to assume the responsibility of self- care?\u201cCareful

demanded.\u201d Evaluate readiness The following checklist is for evaluating whether a child is ready for self-care.Answer each question yes or no: + Do you believe your child is mature enough to care for himself or herself?* Has your child indicated a willingness to try self-care?* Is your child able to solve problems?* Is your child able to communicate with adults?+ Is your child able to complete daily tasks?* Is your child generally unafraid to be alone?+ Can your child unlock and lock the doors to your home unassisted?+ Is there an adult living or working nearby \u2014 someone your child knows and can rely on in case of an emergency?* Do you have adequate household 7 security?* Do you consider your neighbourhood safe?\u201cIf you answered \u2018no\u2019 to any of the above questions, it is highly recommended that you delay or abandon plans to leave your child in self-care until positive responses can be given for all the questions,\u201d says the expert.If you're pretty sure the child is ready, go ahead and try the arrangement but be certain to set down rules.MORNING The Westmount Piano Studio Dedicated fo encouraging creativity & a love of learning A CO-OP PRESCHOOL FOR AGES

the getting-out-of-the-house-in- the-morning problem.Here are some tips for getting you and your child going with maximum efficiency and minimum stress: e * Do what you can the night before.Pack non-perishables\u2014boxed juices, apples, crack- ers\u2014in your childs lunch box.Make sure everything he needs, from his homework to his show-and-tell toy, is packed and ready to go.With your child, choose and lay out clothes, down to underwear and socks, for the next day.Put backpacks, briefcases, keys and coats by the door for quick exit.+ If waking up is a problem, establish an earlier bedtime.This is a simple solution to can*t- get-up-in-the-morning blues, but one that many parents overlook.Often the reason is that parents don\u2019t want to get up too early themselves.But being jumped on by a 3-year- old at 6 a.m.beats a struggle at 8 a.m.any day.Tips to help sleepy teens Many teens are literally dozing away their future.Caught up in a society that views sleep as a luxury instead of a necessity, teens face early morning classes, after-school job commitments and late extracurricular activities.Slecpy teens become inattentive tn school.They are unable to learn.Their grades plummet.Outside of class, sleepy teens endanger their lives and the lives of others when they drive or work.Heed these sleep tips for teens from the Better Sleep Council: - Make sure teens get enough sleep\u2014at least cight hours on school nights.- Let teens make up lost sleep.When your teen sleeps in on the weekend, his or her body is making up for sleep lost during the week.- Talk to teens about the risks of going without sleep.Help them establish priori- tics.They won\u2019t do well on tests if they stay up all night studying and then fall asleep during the exam.- Make sure teens have a good sleep environment.The recipe for healthy sleep requires a room that\u2019s dark, on the cool side, quiet, safe and comfortable.* Establish a morning routine.Children like routines, and even 1f you're a play-ii-by-car type, a morning ritual will go a long way toward smoothing your path to the door.It may take some thought to devise a routine that works best for your family.Choose a pattern that\u2019s consistent with your nature and your child's: If you can\u2019t function without coffee, make that your first priority.If your child needs a long snuggle in order to face eight hours at nursery school, don't sacrifice that purely for the sake of efficiency.* One good rule: Everyone should be dressed before going downstairs or heading to the kitchen.If at all feasible, this should be the one constant you build into your morning routine, even if it\u2019s antithetical to the way you have be operating up until now.If worse comes to worst \u2014 if the eggs burn and the homework\u2019s lost and everyone gets distracted \u2014 at least you'll be ready to go outside when the school bus honks at the front door.Vanier for Adults Continuing Your Education Register before
