[" Vol.LXX City nixes « CP proposal BY WAYNE LARSEN fter extensive research and public consultation, the City of Westmount will not be granting CP Rail a permit to spray a herbicide along its right-of-way\u2014at least not for another two years.Instead, city council has recommended that CP find a more environmentally friendly method of eliminating weeds from the portion of its tracks that run through lower Westmount, such as steam treatment and manual removal.\u201cThe City had to review this matter with equal affection to both parties,\u201d said city councillor Tom Thompson.\u201cBut when the facts were reviewed, the citizens were not satisfied 100 per cent.Because of that, we have no choice but to deny the permit and recommend the use of alternative methods\u2014and in two years we\u2019ll revisit the matter.\u201d \u201cCitizens are concerned about the cumulative impact of chemicals on the environment, and therefore on individuals,\u201d added Thompson, chairman of the Westmount Healthy City Project\u2019 s steering committee.In applying for its permit, CP presented its proposal to spray the herbicide Roundup along its tracks at two public consultation meetings last summer.(See page 5) Westmount, Que., Canada, Thursday, December 10, 19¢ The Westmount og Examiner |: WEEKLY i alu \u2018 fic ebec By WAYNE LARSEN estmount\u2019s 125th anniversary was launched in

for Westmount, the whole community will be invited to participate in special events and commemorative activities that will underscore our unique heritage and make-up.\u201d After referring to a difficult year that included the ice storm and two clections, Marks looked optimistically to 1999 as a year of festivities in Westmount.\u201cThis coming year of celebrations is a wonderful opportunity to involve members of the community in the planning of many exciting activities,\u201d she said.\u201cA group of dynamic and active Westmount citizens have come together to join with

In Caracas, the capital city, it is customary to roller-skate to this service and many neighborhoods close the Streets to cars until 8 a.m.Before bedtime, children tie one end of a piece of string to their big toe and hang the other out the window.The next morning, rollerskaters give a tug to any string they see hanging.After Mass everyone enjoys tostados and coffee.Brazil The people of northern Brazil, as in Mexico, enjoy a version of the folk play Los Pastores (\u2018The Shepherds.\u2019) In the Brazilian version, there are shepherdesses rather than shepherds and a gypsy who attempts to kidnap the Christ Child.Sing for Christmas H|B|DJA|S|H|I| [N|G|H HJO/E|X|X|K|P|D|S|J E|F{L|T|{V{D[R|I |X]I RIA|O|Y|H|E{W|W]|L|N AJU|V|IPIA]|LI|L|T|K|G LIS|{Y|{MIA[M|E|O|P]|L D|IC|I|T|H{W|E|H|P]|E YIN|INIA|F|G|O|R|E|N G|A|T|N|E|L]|I|[S|R|M SIM|I'|D|IN]JI|GIH|T|Y BETHLEHEM HOLY SANTA DASHING JINGLE SILENT DREAMING MERRY WISH HERALD MIDNIGHT A.H.CAMPBELL GALLERY Est.1924 RARE ETCHINGS, REPRODUCTIONS, LIMITED EDITIONS, RESTORATION OF OIL PAINTINGS AND FRAMES, CONSERVATION FRAMING.LAMINATION 4916 Sherbrooke St.W.Westmount 481-1560 40101419 AR SYNE GN NE ne DELIVERY / TAKE-OUT Nightly Table d'Hète \u2014 Aperitifs and Digestifs 2 por 339 Lakeshore Road, Pointe-Claire Village * 697-3593/94* Private Reception Room for your Holiday Parties 40101422 \u201cLimited delivery areas The Westmount Examiner Thursday, December 10, 1998 - 15 find ît at farfelu Find that special Christmas gift at the Farfelu Co-operative Gallery.Professional artists and artisans offer you quality art & craft one-of-a-kind items at studio prices.Gift certificates also available.Call (514) 488-3163 à atch fac loue ec aie 39 Somerville, Westmount Sherbrooke ENODIA Prince Albert 39 Somerville Coiffure Maneela Perms, cuts, highlights, low prices 5166 Sherbrooke 0.484-4771 5219 Sherbrooke W.5 NETTOYEURS & TAILLEURS SPARKLE CLEANERS & TAILORS | QUICK SERVICE QUALITY CEALNING ON PREMISES SHIRT LAUNDERING - TAILORING SUEDE AND LEATHER = 486-0923 | lampes * abat-jours * cadeaux lamps * shades » gifts Tel: (514) 488-4322 Ç 5903 Sherbrooke W.À Ge NON - Là 385-5555 Livraison - Delivery 6415 Sherbrooke St.West (at Cavendish) For reservations 487-7724 Chocolathé et Plus For your Holiday Treats Belgian chocolates & truffles, hand-made in the tradition of finest specially imported chocolates Gourmet foods & Holiday gift baskets For a sleigh full of CHRISTMAS TREASURES Co.Discover Santa's First Stop: Yistiriétive Christmas cards, charming collectibles and tree ornaments, delightful |] king stuffers, creative puzzles & toys.Explore our Select Christmas Gifis!

entrance of Westmount Square, Parfums & Porcelaines is a brand new little boutique that offers just what its name implies\u2014plus a bit more.Opened just two months ago by Belgian native Michele Schoutteten, this small but fragrant and pleasantly-lit shop offers the top names in perfume, cologne and bath products for both women and men.Michele proudly claims that the retail business is in her blood.\u201cI was born in a store,\u201d she says.\u201cMy parents owned a store in Belgium.\u201d As a result, Michele knows just how to treat everyone who comes in to browse through her new boutique.\u201cIf they come in for a $7 purchase or $100, every customer is considered the best,\u201d she says.\u201cI try to make the best selection for my cus- tomers\u2014I keep only the very best merchandise.\u201d By the best Michele means the top names in fragrances and toiletries, names like Lalique, Gucci, Rochas, Jean Patou, Rodier and Façonnable.But instead of charging top prices for these products, Michele prefers to keep her prices down.\u201cEveryone can shop here,\u201d she says.\u201cIt\u2019s not too expensive.\u201d Michele also offers a wide variety of crystal and porcelain pieces from around the world, all priced to suit most budgets.Porcelain from Limonge, France and Herend from Hungary, as well as crystal from Poland grace her shelves along with the body lotions and bath oils.Among her least expensive items are a series of small, colourful perfume bottles imported from Italy.Although the emphasis is on fragrances and porcelain pieces, Michele also stocks a few pieces of top quality leatherware, such as overnight bags by Luigi Sciorio.Parfums & Porcelaines offers the finest quality merchandise at reasonable prices.This makes it the ideal one-stop shopping destination for all the fragrance, crystal and porcelain items on your gift list.Parfums & Porcelaines 1 Westmount Square Westmount, Quebec H3Z 2P9 Telephone: (514) 939-1781 \u20ac Hamid Fotouhinia and his sister Maryam at Biblionet on Sherbrooke St.Owner Hamid Fotouhinia likes to call Biblionet a \u2018resource centre\u2019 or \u2018virtual office\u2019 because one of his goals is to offer technical services to small businesses, entrepreneurs and students who may not necessarily need or be able to afford their own office.This is a unique concept in Montreal, and it\u2019s right here in Westmount.\u201cI want Biblionet to be a \u2018water cooler\u2019 for small business owners, so they can meet each other and not be isolated,\u201d Hamid says.\u201cI also encourage people to come in here and try out software applications on our computers so that they know what to uy.\u201d Along with the traditional laser colour and black & white photocopy and fax services, Biblionet is a Western Union and Fed Ex agent, they offer secretarial services, are a Clearnet agent and sell stationary, computer books & magazines.Biblionet offers a wide range of computer services

around computers.\u201cOur staff is trained to listen, answer questions and explain things in basic terms.We really want to serve the community, and lately, we've had a lot of senior citizens coming in for advice on buying computers,\u201d Hamid says.As a result, Biblionet has had more than its fair share of satisfied customers of all ages.\u201cWhen 1 decided to upgrade my aging computer to a \u2018bells-and- whistles\u2019 system, 1 knew 1 would want to deal with a small, personalized business that emphasizes customer service,\u201d Westmount resident Barbara Kay says of her first visit to Biblionet.\u201cI also wanted a place accessible to my home.Biblionet gave me a competitive price on my units, but most importantly they were there for me after installation.I have improved my comfort level and understanding of how the various programs work and, after several one-on-one tutorials, now \u2018play\u2019 with my computer without the middle-age anxiety reflex of yesteryear.The staff at Biblionet are patient, helpful and professional, and 1 feel good about getting the product and service 1 expect right : here in Westmount.It is great to see young entrepreneurs succeeding in our community.\u201d Starting in January 1999 Biblionet will also offer the following gol services: e Video production for all occasions.* Film production (16mm and 35 mm).¢ Film editing.Digital video

Louise Dodier, Robert Ackermann and Dominick Gervais at work in the jewellery studio.The relentless pursuit of quality.It sounds like an admirable vocation, and Robert Ackermann has been at it for more than 20 years.One walk through his : meticulous jewellery gallery and studio on Greene Avenue and it\u2019s obvious to see that quality pervades everything this acclaimed jeweller does.$ .Ackermann specializes in fine jewellery of the highest European standards, at a price that easily outdistances his for- = eign competitors, who are saddled with very high labour costs and Canadian duties.You don\u2019t have to go to Paris or Geneva to have a special platinum and diamond necklace custom made\u2014you can do it right here in Westmount instead.Robert has had extensive traditional training at Trudel jewellers in Zurich, Switzerland and at the k: renowned Gemological Institute of America, where he received the Graduate Gemologist diploma.Outfitted with the latest 3-D computer technology as well as jeweller\u2019s tools used for centuries like anvils and ring mandrels, Robert and his staff create absolutely stunning pieces which all have a unique touch\u2014each piece is custom-made to the exact specifications of the client, who has full control in the creative ME process.Robert Ackermann is a reminder of another time\u2014the Renaissance\u2014when men like Leonardo Da Vinci and Benvenuto Cellini were not only artists but also scientists or alchemists.MR Jewellers know as much about periodic tables as they do about polishing rubies and sapphires.\u201cI tend to be very meticulous,\u201d says Robert.\u201cI don\u2019t have many hobbies; this is my life.\u201d He adds that today\u2019s marketplace also demands that he be a businessman as well, following global events which could affect the market for stones throughout the world.He has been very successful in his quest for quality.This past year, he was a winner of La Griffe d'Or in Quebec and the Canadian Jeweller Magazine's Buyers Choice Award.Robert has taught at the Ecole de Joaillerie et de Métaux d\u2019Art de Montreal, served as secretary of the Montreal Gem and Mineral Club and writes a monthly jewellery column for The Examiner.But the jewellery business is hardly about prizes.\u201cIt\u2019s the aesthetic that counts,\u201d Robert says.\u201cWe use only the best tools and raw materials.The end result is, in my opinion, a superior product.\u201d So the next time you're pursuing a dream for the perfect piece of jewellery to give to a loved one, look no further than Robert Ackermann\u2014he\u2019s made the pursuit of quality in design and craftmanship his life\u2019s work.Robert Ackermann Inc.Suite 540 1310 Greene Avenue Westmount, Quebec H3Z 2B2 Telephone: (514)

you've been transported back in time to the mystic East, namely northern India around $= .the turn of the century.The interior of this specialized shop is full of hundreds of Indian antiques that make up a truly amazing collection.More than just an Indian antique shop, Emporium Maharaja is the only business of its kind in Montreal.What's even more unique about this eclectic shop is the fact that it offers something for just about everyone\u2014at just about any budget.\u201cFrom $10 tin dancing ladies to $1,000 marble items hand- painted with gold, we have an extremely wide price range for gifts,\u201d owner Majella Ferrao Castellano says of the stores inventory, which includes a large amount of furniture, vases, ornamental musical instruments, masks and colourful antique saree borders which have been made into bedspreads.In creating her one-of-a-kind collection, Majella has brought together everything from tiny wooden figurines and hand- carved camel bone sculptures to massive armoires and coffee tables that date back over 100 years.One of her primary goals is to change the way most people perceive Indian items.Majella\u2019s inventory is beautiful, artful 2e and vibrantly colourful.= i ; \u201cAll of the antiques here 1 hand pick myself,\u201d says Majella, kT who was born and raised in India, where her families contin- ti ue to run similar antique businesses.Having grown up surrounded by pieces reflecting both Mugal and British Colonial influences, Majella\u2019s lifelong familiarity with the merchandise has enabled her to bring over only the most interesting pieces.Her family still operates antique businesses in many states in India, which means she has access to some of the most unique pieces in India.Majella takes an average of three trips per year to Rajasthan, where she carefully selects antiques for shipment back to Emporium Maharaja.\u201cWe never alter the integrity of any of our pieces,\u201d she says firmly.\u201cIf ever a piece happens to get even slightly damaged in transit, it will never be seen in the Emporium.\u201d tea Majella is so familiar with the pieces she selects for the store that she can often provide customers with the history behind each piece\u2014its age, where it is from, the materials used and the style in which it was made.Take a trip back to old India at Emporium Maharaja From century-old oil portraits of Indian nobility to intricately-carved columns that once graced a colonial home in Rajastan, everything in the store is hand-made.\u201cNothing here has ever been touched by machine,\u201d Majella says, indicating an ancient shuttered window that has been set under glass and transformed into a huge coffee table.More than simple conversation items, picces like this offer the purchaser a chance to take home a piece of history.Whether buying a gift, furnishing for your home or cottage, Emporium Maharaja offers items that would be impossible to find anywhere else in Montreal.With a wide range of jewelry and candle holders on display, Majella also carries a variety of gift boxes and ornate enamel jewelry boxes.It\u2019s one thing to read about Emporium Maharaja, but quite another to go and and see the vast array of Eastern treasures for yourself.Chances are you\u2019ll come away with a small piece of old India.Emporium Maharajah 4896 Sherbrooke St.West Westmount, Quebec H3Z 1H1

enjoys talking with them and learning about their lives while benefiting from their wisdom.And it's a good thing since Olga also helps them live more comfortable lives.\"Not only do they learn from me about dentures, but 1 learn about life experiences and I love that part of my job,\" said Olga, a diplomated denturologist.Denturologists specialize only in dentures and Olga offers her clients caring, personal and competent service from her NDG office.\"Denturologists do nothing else but prepare dentures and we do it all by ourselves in our lab,\" said Olga.\"We do the impressions and can see what the patient needs.\" Originally trained in dentistry before she left her native Czechoslovakia in 1969, Olga has been a practising denturologist in Quebec since 1975.She opened her own lab at that time and has since been offering one-on-one service, allowing her to put her customers at ease and making them feel comfortable.Olga said the most important thing to remember about dentures is they need to be examined regularly and changed when necessary to fit the changing shape of the mouth.Whether fixed onto the gums or implanted and secured onto posts, she said dentures should be checked a minimum of every two years and replaced every five years.Although they can be realigned for a year or two, Olga said some of her customers insist on having their dentures changed every two years which is ideal because they never notice the change.But Olga's business doesn't just end with sizing dentures and fixing them into her customer's mouth.\"We don't just finish the dentures when we put them in their mouth and they pay,\" said Olga.\"It's my business and I never send them away until they are completely satisfied.If they need to come for adjustments, I always try to accommodate my customers.\" The majority of Olga's clients are seniors and she understands how important it is for them to be comfortable throughout the experience.Just outside the office window, Olga has a place for birds to feed which helps her patients keep their minds off of the examination, Olga also uses special technique which she has worked on over the years to help the denture experience to be as easy as possible for her clients and help with the gagging problem.Olga understands this problem and tries to make it as easy as possible for her clients with the tricks she has developed.A relaxing waiting room, which seems more like a living room in a neighbour's home, adds to the pleasant experience of dealing with Olga.Her assistant, Michelle, is not just a very skillful technician but is also a nice person and everyone enjoys getting to know her.Michelle also enjoys getting to know the customers and ensuring the dentures provided by Olga are just what the customer needed.Dentures can be a trying event with many unknowns.Olga Lichtner does her best to offer the senior community a place where their concerns will be heard and where they will be dealt with in a professional and courteous manner.Olga Lichtner, D.D.5294 Prince of Wales at Chester NDG, Quebec Telephone: (514) 482-1409 Selwyn House: 90 years old and still ahead of its time.When you are a prestigious, independent school for boys with a tradition of academic excellence dating back to 1908, and approximately 2000 very well-educated alumni, it would be easy to say \u201cif it\u2019s not broken, don't fix it.\u201d With small classes, individual attention and an emphasis on promoting both excellent students and responsible citizens, Selwyn House has a history of producing exceptional young men who are ready to contribute to society.At this school of just over 560 students in Westmount, their maxim could be \u201cWhatever we need to do to improve, we will do it\u201d For example, their new Biliteracy Programme provides the opportunity for the development of strong and solid foundations in both English and French communication, reading and writing skills.The programme begins in French Immersion Kindergarten with two classes of 14 and 16 students, and progresses through Grade Six.\u201cSince 1981, our path has been to maintain our English standards and improve the French programme,\u201d says Carole Manning, Director of the Elementary and Middle Schools.\u201cWe found that we had achieved the objective of oral fluency with our own Grade 5 and Grade 6 French Immersion Programme but, not content with this, felt our next challenge was raising the level of written to that of oral fluency.\u201d Selwyn house is motivated by the need to produce students who are fluently biliterate and bilingual\u2014profi- cient in oral and writing skills in Canada\u2019s two official languages.Parents want their children to learn both English and French, a huge asset in Canada and beyond, and this Biliteracy Programme provides the rich environment necessary to stimulate and challenge the young students.Probably the most interesting part about the Selwyn House Biliteracy Programme is the fact that they allocate the same amount of instructional time to both English and French Language Arts, as well as teaching science and music in French.Beginning in Grade One, French grammar is taught.\u201cWe live the language,\u201d says Claudine Martel, a kindergarten homeroom teacher who has been with Selwyn House for nine years.\u201cBecause we engage in activities like singing, spelling and reading in French, it removes the stress.Now, after only one term, my students are better in French than students nine years ago were after a full year in Grade One.\u201d This exciting, trailblazing programme was based on a concern that reading and writing in both languages Examiner Thursday, December 10, 1998 - 23 Xe (Photo above and below) Kindergarten homeroom teacher Claudine Martel \u201clives the French language\u201d with some of her young students at Selwyn House.needs to be very strong, a change from the previous goal of French oral fluency being sufficient.The current goal is to have students graduating from Grade 6 into Middle school with the same language skills as their counterparts graduating from French elementary schools.Not only does Selwyn House provide first-rate teaching in its classrooms, French remedial is available for all students to help them through any temporary challenges they may encounter.If you are interested in giving your children the best education available in two languages, call our Director of Admission, Sylvie Bastien-Doss, and let her know you want to be a part of a school with an enviable history and an extraordinary vision for the future.Selwyn House 95, Chemin Cote St-Antoine Westmount, Quebec H3Y 2H8 Telephone: (514) 931-9481 24 - Thursday, December 10, 1998 rk, \u201cThe Shayne Ga \u201cWe are first and foremost a fine art gallery,\u201d says Lauren, \u201cand in our The Westmount Examiner , a & Ilery offers unique and affordable fine art\u201d \u201cIf it hadn\u2019t been called the Shayne Gallery 26 years ago when my mother Lois started it, it might have been called the Eclectic Gallery,\u201d says Lauren Shayne, daughter of Lois.: \u2018Eclectic\u2019 means selecting what appears to be the best of styles.That A a has been the byword of the gallery since its inception.\u2018 When you enter this unique gallery you will be captivated by the won- ; derful array of paintings and sculpture set among a wide variety of ® blown glass, ceramics, papier-mâché products and exquisite artistic costume jewelry.The gallery started in 1972 in the Shaynes\u2019 Grosvenor Avenue home to support the paintings and masks executed by Jovetter Marchessault, whose creative skills have blossomed into an international renown as a playwright and author.The success of the initial venture led to a growing reputation as an artists representative and in 1975 the gallery moved to its present location at 5471 Royalmount in the Town of Mount Royal.Upon completion of her fine art studies, Lauren joined the gallery 17 years ago and shares its co-directorship with her mother.Laurence Shayne case it means art for everyone at affordable prices.We select every item with a view to provide something special.That means prices that start as low as $25 and in the case of a special painting or sculpture, perhaps as high as $7,500.\u201d There is a certain cachet about receiving a gift from a fine art gallery, and as Lauren explains they add to it by the special gift wrapping that is provided with each purchase.The well-trained staff functions as an efficient team in assisting customers to find the appropriate vs» crane A CN ar J SE a te selection, be it a gift or an addition to their own private collection.The friendly atmosphere has regular customers asking for their favourite staff member by name.Personalized and thematic picture frames reflecting the recipient\u2019s hobby, personality or a special event are created in-house and offers literally hundreds of miniature items to choose from.If you prefer, by * providing photographs and some character details, you can order a personalized clay sculpture of friends or relatives.Also available are y shadow boxes to reflect in miniature your favourite pastime.When asked how a gallery measures its success, Lauren affirmed, \u201cA key to determining our success is the fact that so many of our clients visit us time and time again, and recommend us to their friends.Secondly, we have an amazing number of out-of-towners who visit the gallery.Many are former Montrealers, but there are also many visitors to the city who have heard about us from friends or family.Of course from our personal point of view we feel that our constant travel to find new and interesting art which we can show to such a great advantage in our 3,000 square feet of space makes us the most exciting place to visit because we literally have something for everyone.\u201d >> 2 Shayne Gallery 5471 Royalmount Avenue Town of Mount Royal, Quebec H4P 1J3

Thursday, December 10, 1998 Pet tips for safe and happy holidays By SUSAN LAWSON/DIRECTOR OF DOMESTI-SERV To keep your evergreen upright, tie fishing line from the treetop to an eye hook in the ceiling or weigh down the base by adding soil.Protect pets from the sap collected in the tree stand by covering the stand with a decorative tree skirt.Be sure to vacuum up the pine needles as they fall.If you have a problem with pets chewing electric cords (tree lights), wrap the cords in tin foil or hide them under the tree skirt.Hang glass ornaments away from the base of the tree and out of reach.Use ribbon to hang ornaments instead of metal hooks.Try trimming your tree with cranberry and popcorn garlands instead of tinsel, icicles or string.Some traditional Christmas plants (ie holly, mistletoe and poinsettias) are fatal.Keep them off the floor and out of reach.Never leave your pet unattended around candles and fireplaces.If you use a bowl freshener in your lavatory, keep the lid down at all times.Never give your dog turkey bones.They are hollow and break or splinter into sharp pieces which can cause internal injuries.Signs of salmonella poisoning (from turkey meat) include: fever, diarrhea, depression, stomach upset, vomiting and loss of appetite.Don't allow your pet to be exposed to the cold for too long.Try using cat litter instead of rock salt on your steps and driveway.If rock salt is swallowed, the chemicals will make your pet ill and too much exposure to their tender paws will irritate them.Antifreeze has a sweet taste that attracts cats.Clean up any blue-green or yellow-green puddles in the driveway and other areas.Remember, holidays are often busy times.Stay in tune to your pet's needs and give it some extra attention.Our pets enrich our lives throughout the year.By taking some precautions, we can give them the gift of health and happiness this holiday season.Christmas trees are part of the tradition being introduced.Facts about Christmas tree industry.Christmas Trees Each year about three million Canadian families enjoy a natural Christmas tree.About one million of those families are in Ontario.Growing time for a Christmas tree is seven to 15 years and even longer now that more exotic species are The major Christmas tree producing provinces are: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia.Only ten per cent of the trees on a Christmas tree farm are harvested each year.Ninety per cent of the land is made up of trees at all times.Thousands of people are employed by the Canadian natural In eastern Canada, the most popular Christmas trees are Scotch pine, White spruce and Balsam fir, although Fraser fir and White fir are also gaining in popularity.In western Canada, Douglas fir and Scotch pine are traditionally most popular.Canadian grown Christmas trees are an important export commodity.General tips to help make your holidays more festive To make a festive meal out of an economical utility turkey, baste it often while roasting it, brown it well and serve it cut into helpings on a platter of shredded lettuce.Make lots of gravy.Homemade cranberry sauce is easy to make from the instructions on the package.Try reducing the amount of sugar in half for a main dish of stewed cranberries with a delicious, tarter taste.If you have enough room in your freezer compartment, keep the liquid drained from cooked, canned or fresh vegetables.Use it instead of plain water in soups, sauces and gravy.It adds nutrients and flavour.If you don't have a lot of money to buy presents, shop for gifts that are novel, practical and made from materials that last.Check out the local stores that cater to people who have $40 to spend on 40 people.To save on wrappings, buy a large, decorative, Christmas shopping bag for each family member.Keep it from year to year like a stocking.Fill it with presents wrapped in simple tissue paper.Shop around for the bags.The price varies greatly.If you kept last year\u2019s Christmas cards, try recycling them as tags or stickers.Find a design that can be cut out with pinking shears.Leave enough white space to write a name on and use it as a parcel tag.~ Home for the Holidays ~ NEST An inspired Collection of gifts & decorative accessories Welcome: \u201cFamily night Sunday at the Bistro\u201d Featuring in addition to our regular menu Including -

from page 33) With the cooperation of Dr.Hurtubise, Ms.Lighthall contacted the press and Mr.Colin J.G.Molson while a special meeting for the WHA was convened.Among those present was Mr.John Bland, head of the McGill School of Architecture, who tried to impress upon the City that the house was worth saving.In the end, the house was bought by Miss Mabel Molson, Mr.Colin Molson and Mr.James Beatty.Later on, this group formed the Canadian Heritage of Quebec to maintain architectural treasures for future generations.The larger community was grateful to Alice Lighthall for her dedication.In 1973, at the age of 82, she received the Order of Canada, partly for her work in promoting Indian and Inuit art.In 1948 she was called \u201conc of Westmount\u2019s most prominent citizens.\u201d On her 90th birthday, Colin Molson, Dr.Helene Saly and other friends honored her with a birthday party at the Hurtubise house.She was surrounded by the love of many at the festive gathering, her last public appearance.During her long life, many acticles were written about Alice Lighthall.All of them reflect the respect, the admiration, and affection of the community.From the comments about her and from her own words, a person emerges who is gentle, modest and gracious.At the same time, she was capable and determined, with an independent mind.As a friend, she is remembered as generous, delightful, and entertaining.In her rich and varied life, she kept busy by following her own calling and the calling of changing times around her.She lived what she believed.\u201cThe present generation wants to remember.This is what makes a land dear.We are bound together in continuing time by love of the same town,\u201d she wrote in the forward of \u2018Old Westmount.Note: Sources were from the WHA archives.Our records relating to Alice Lighthall arc still very incomplete and we would welcome any material which readers may wish to share with the Association.The Westmount Historical Association invites readers to present articles on Westmount women.The material will be considered for publication in The Examiner.The association can be reached c/o Westmount Public Library, 4574

team that always puts pressure on the other team,\u201d he said.\u201cEveryone gets along well, and I'm having more fun because I'm playing with my friends from Westmount.\u201d While the four Westmounters are obviously getting along well, therc is excellent team chemistry among all the ptayers from both the Westluc and Lachine/Ville St.Pierre zones.And there\u2019s no reason why the fun shouldn't continue all year long, according to coach Krakower.\u201cIf they continue to do the things we're asking them to do, then this team can accomplish whatever it wants.\u201d Goalscorer Josh

Leider.Goal number four, scored shorthanded carly in the second, was an all-Westmount production.Cercone made a great play to strip a 3 Cités defenceman of the puck, then By Davip GOLDBERG PHOTOS BY CLIFF SKARSTEDT The Peewee BB Trappeurs are two games over .500 after their 4-0 win over 3 Cités on Sunday night, a record no pre-Bantam Lachine/Westluc team has attained since their inception.And one reason why coach Sheldon Krakower\u2019s team is doing so well is the work of four young Westmount forwards.Team captain Jonathan Cercone, Josh Oboler, along with Raymond and Rafael Leider arc four of the eight Trappeurs forwards.And cach onc had a fine game on Sunday night, which pretty much is indicative of their work all season.\u201cAs a group, the four kids from Westmount have made steady improvement all season, and they've become an integral part of this team,\u201d said Krakower.The 3 Cités game was close.for about the first four minutes.After that, the Trappeurs outshot their opponents 28-3, and held a 3-0 lead after the first.Lee Schachter went upstairs midway through, followed by a pair of goals by Daniel Gendron.The first was an outstanding broke in on goal.Oboler ended up on his back, but still managed to put in the rebound.That outstanding effort by the two Westmounters put the game out of reaeh for 3 Cités.Cercone was terrific all game, along with Oboler.Raymond Leider also had a strong offensive game, missing on two clear-cut chances in front.Brother Rafael was a physical force at both ends of the ice.\u201cJon has not disappointed us on one shift this year.He hustles all the time, he\u2019s shown leadership and he has a total commitment to the team,\u201d said Krakower.\u201cJosh has shown tremendous improvement.He has a real nose for the net, and we're sure he\u2019s going to develop into a big goal scorer.\u201d Krakower also had praise for the Leider boys.\u201cRay has played all three positions up front and despite that, he\u2019s always respond- cd well.We're very pleased with his effort,\u201d Rocket still scoring v with lithographs for Gallery's Stewart MacAdam and Côte St.Luc assistant recreation director Harold Cammy.\u201cI

talking to Harold Cammy about a celebrity breakfast to raise money for the Children's Hospital.I called Harold and | had a good feeling right away.\u201d Now it's the Children's Hospital that has that same good feeling.The breakfast, held two weeks ago in Côte St.Luc, was a huge success, raising $18,000.But the sales from the lithographs could raise an additional $30,000 for the
