younger, wealthier and better educated.The findings were based on a Pollara poll conducted for Southam News.In fact, just over a quarter (26 per cent) of low-income Canadians\u2014families carning less than $25,000 a year\u2014have access to the Web at home or at work.In contrast, 85 per cent of high-income carners\u2014those with incomes of over $75,000\u2014are connected.What can we glean from these poll results?Well, for starters, it scems evident there should be some kind of government tax-break or technology allowance for low-income people and families.How can anyone be expected to improve their lot in hie if they do not have access to the fastest-growing place in the world, the Internet?A recent article in The Gazette cited the dire shortage of information technology (IT) workers\u2014right now, in Canada, there are 20,000 vacancies that can\u2019t be filled.Add to that the fact that American com- panics like Microsoft arc constantly poaching our best and brightest from places like the University of Waterloo (renowned for its computer programs) and the divide of what is needed and what is available in IT Jobs will continue to grow.If we could bring more people up to speed like those who can\u2019t afford computers or the Net\u2014perhaps it would be one small step in levelling out the field of technology haves and have-nots.\u2014 Leonard J Gervais To the editor: Recently at Centre Greene, Inspector Daniel de Vries, James Novak and Michel Tassé from the City of Westmount's Protective Services, rendered a community service that we feel merits

hight bulbs when they burn out.Recently, when three of the cetling\u2019s light bulbs did burn out, the staff was at a loss.Although it may not seem like a big problem to many, to us this posed a huge dilemma.Centre Greene does not own a stepladder long enough to reach the 20-foot ceiling, nor docs it currently employ anybody brave enough to go up there anyway.When Inspector de Vries's attention was drawn to our problem, he calmly volunteered to take care of the problem for us.Once arrangements with Westmount Park School had been made to borrow their enormous stepladder, Inspector de Vries and his col- lcagues collected the ladder with heir truck, installed the ladder in Centre Greene's gym and changed .he bulbs without the slightest fuss.The entire operation took less than half an hour, saving Centre Greene's staff from many hours of anguish.On behalf of Centre Greene's staff, board members and many users, | would like to thank Inspector de Vries and his col- icagues for their very generous donation of time and cnergy.We really appreciate this wonderful example of community involvement.Anna Johansson, Coordinator, Centre Greene An invitation to join To the editor: This

personal wishes of good health, happiness and success in the New Year.And it has started well: as we moved into the Ycar 2000, Canada entered into the new millennium without encountering any major disruptions related to Y2K bug.Thanks to the diligent and hard work of a great number of people.Canada was well prepared and no significant problems were reported.As President of the Treasury Board of Canada and minister responsible for the Infrastructure, the prime minister had asked me to coordmate the government of Canada's readmess for Y 2K.During the rollover period, four key numisters -\u2014Lloyd Axworthy of Foreign Affairs, John Manley of Industry, Art Eggleton of National Defence and myself\u2014were on hand with the prime minister in Ottawa, from December 29 through January 5.to ensure that decisions at the highest level of government could be made swiftly, if so required.While the Government of Canada was confident it had prepared its systems for the Year 2000 and did not anticipate any major disruptions, it was important to watch how things developed across the country and the world and to manage a federal response to events, if ever necessary.the up a effort.Government of Canada set Monitoring and Coordination Centre that operated on a 24-hour-a-day basis from December 29 to January 5.coordmate thus To Our investment has been well worth it.We successfully met the challenge: Y2K did not affect the health, safety, security and well beg of Canadians \u2014and that alone would have made our investment more than worthwhile.But in addition, we also gave Canada a definite advantage.We increased the efficiency of our information technology Infrastructure.We established solid cooperation across and beyond traditional lines with provinces and territories and other partners, including the private sector.at home and abroad.We provided the country with an \u2018insurance policy\": all federal organizations now have up-to-date contingency plans.It was also an example of international cooperation at its best, since the Year 2000 challenge was a global one.We worked closely with foreign governments, especially our North American trading partners\u2014 the United States and Mexico.An example of this cooperation was a bilateral agreement to have two Canadian observers on-site an Washington D.C.and two American observers in Ottawa during the transition period, so as to ensure maximum exchange of information between our two countries.We also worked with the G8 and international organizations like the United Nations.I am pleased to underline the exceptional work of all those who responded to this challenge so effce- tively and devoted countless days and mights to get the job done.Thanks to all these people across our country, Canada was ready.Characteristically, during the entire process, Canadians showed an awareness, a sense of responsibility and a calm attitude that must be commended.The Canadian Government addressed the histor cal computer date problem, we upgraded our systems for the 21st century, and together we developed contingency plans that give Canadians an insurance policy they can rely on in the future.Together, we can look forward to the beginning of a new era of progress and prosperity.Happy New Year!

CIPF 40100472 à 10 - Thursday, January 20, 2000 The Westmount Examiner Cutler teaches Shakespeare at Centaur festiva BY WAYNE LARSEN It won awards at last year\u2019s Fringe Festival and recently attracted glowing reviews during a two-week run off Broadway in New York, and now Keir Cutler has brought his satirical one-man show home to the Centaur Theatre.\u2018Teaching Shakespeare\u2019, which has the local actor/writer playing an inept professor attempting to deliver an insightful lecture on \u2018Much Ado About Nothing\u2019 (and failing hilariously), opens tonight as part of the Centaurs Wild Side Festival, with subsequent performances on Jan.22, 20, 28 and 29.\u201cft was originally written to show how impossible it is to teach Shakespeare,\u201d Cutler said of his play, which walked away with a \u201cFrankie\u201d award for best text at Montreal's 1999 Fringe Festival and was later awarded the Montreal English Critics Award for best new play.But what Cutler presents at the Centaur will be an expanded version of his Fringe show, with a bit more emphasis on the professor himself.\u201cThe character has developed into a frustrated, failed actor who has turned to teaching,\u201d he said.\u201cHe's up for tenure, but that might be denied because of his poor evaluations from students.\u201d Anyone who has ever suffered through a university Shakespeare class is likely to recognize Cutler's complex, multi-layered portrayal of the hapless academic whose 50- minute \u2018lecture\u2019 is filled with blatant contradictions, comedic tangents and volumes of side jokes.And those who have never encountered a professor similar to Cutler's character in the classroom will certainly think twice about signing up for a course on Shakespeare after sceing this fast-paced romp through the annals of literary critical analysis.Or who knows, maybe they will rush to the nearest registrars office.One thing is certain, though \u2018Teaching Shakespeare\u2019 will make even the most dedicated scholar see the Bard in a different Light.(See MUCH ADO page 16) Pe UPPER WESTMOUNT k Daniel Zanetti \u201d Beautiful DETACHED cottage, move-in condition, 3 bedrooms, forget the others!

All that has ever been asked 1s that one collects one\u2019s own dog's poo.Thats it.No magic formula.Of course, folk bucking for sainthood are encouraged to pick up extra, Personally, I'd prefer to carn my points planting trees or raising hteracy levels, but necessity has me dealing more in poop than plants.The other subject of real concern is the very young in fenced dog runs.Pleasc think twice before trying this one.The very young on two legs are.by nature, energetic CE Queen's Executive d'A > and mobile, often very vocal (so arc many dogs in snow!).Many dogs do not have experience with such noisy mobility, and an arm-waving, hooting toddler or youngster approaching at speed from the rear or from Just beyond peripheral vision, can casily be construed as an attack.The dog could well respond with teeth, to dreadful effect.And it would be quite unjust to lay the whole blame at the dog's feet, Or perhaps a young dog.cager to play.will bounce or leap m an effort to plant Kisses.This version can result in a terrified toddler who may never again be comfortable around dogs.The fenced dog runs are playgrounds for our woofs and may not be the best place for a controlled meeting between two-legged and four-legged beasties.By all means, quiet contact with a leashed woof on the street, or leaning over the tence to check out the action at the runs are great starting points for the two groups to greet cach other.But please think twice before wheeling in the stroller or bringing in the very young.Gentle reader, stay warm, dry and healthy.And carry your filled baggies with pride!
