1999 = $23,712,000).This is a remarkable achievement in and of itself.2.However, there is another category of expenses that are partly, if not completely, under the control of the Westmount administration.This category includes items called: \u2018debt service and other related finance costs\u2019, \u2018capital charged to operating fund\u2019, \u2018bad debts\u2019, \u2018pay as you go financ- you go\u2019 financing policy adopted by the councils over the past several years.Most citizens in Westmount are very pleased with their civic administration.This attitude was amply confirmed by the survey that the WMA did last year and the point was made again during our discussions on costs.I firmly believe in the importance of the public debate of issues and that organizations like the WMA have an obligation to present an independent perspective of the situation in our City.It is important that we treat the facts honestly and be allowed to draw independent conclusions.The figures come from publicly available documents called the \u2018Statement of Revenue and 8 access to city council, they will be stripped of their officially , ine\u201d.and \u2018 ;

participants thought the concept vague, the lack of prior consultation unacceptable, and the intrusion of sovereignist politics an insult.They do want to continue the discussion, but on their terms, not his.The concept, as muddy as it was, revolved around the belief that Quebecers of all origins, and especially newcomers, should feel like they belong and are full citizens in the political, social, economic and cultural life of Quebec.No one had any problem with that.As a society, we want immigrants to feel welcome.We want them to have rewarding work, to participate in society, and to Charter of Rights and Freedoms is irrelevant?Quebec has been marked by the presence of the Canadian government, the document acknowledges \u201cmarked by ambiguity which, to varying degrees, has tinted all aspects of public life\u201d and \u201cimposed significant distortions upon the Quebec democracy.\u201d As a result, \u201cthere is a conflict of legitimacy which clouds and complicates the exercise of citizenship.\u201d \u201cThe overlapping of the frameworks of legitimacy, which creates confusion and conflicts of loyalty, risks making the participation of citizens in public life more arduous.Indeed.the entire civil society of Quebec is being tugged in dif ferent directions So, to make matters perfectly clear, it states: \u201cIt\u2019s in relation to the National Assembly, as the ultimate place of expression and as the mandated voice of the Quebec nation, that Quebec citizenship is defined.\u201d And to ensure everyone, immigrants especially, would understand that Quebec and Quebec alone deserves their loyalty, Perreault was proposing a \u201ccivic contract\u201d to which all Quebecers would adhere and which he was ready to put before Cabinet for approval as soon as this week.Luckily, that will not happen because not a single person at the Forum endorsed the idea.But a civic contract?present new ideas.At the same time, we need to open doors, fight discrimination, and provide true equal access to our institutions.None of that is easy.The government should be applauded for starting a public debate on those objectives, and indeed the second half of Perreault\u2019s discussion document contained some thoughtful ideas.It was ruined though by the first half, seemingly written by undernourished Parti Québécois propagandists who believe the first rule of good citizenship is adherence to sovereignist interpretation of history, and the second rule the recognition of the Quebec government as the only legitimate government.Let me quote you a few passages.\u2018This right (to self-determination) is what makes the Quebec National Assembly the ultimate place of democratic expression for the Quebec people.\u201d Really?What does that make the House of Commons in Ottawa?The document then enumerates fundamental pieces of legislation that make Quebec what it is today the Labour Code, the health and social services act, the public education act, the French Language Charter, and the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms which \u201crepresents the principal instrument\u201d for the protection of Quebecers rights.Really?And 133 years worth of federal legislation has had no impact on Quebecers lives?And the federal Was this to be a piece of paper which ID Financial Advisor 846-3683 Wishing the Jewish Community a Happy New Year Charles V.Bierbrier 35 Merrill Lynch nm 40205163 WHAT GOES WITH THE HOUSE?Real estate is usually defined as the land and everything attached 10 1t.such as buildings.trees.shrubs.ete The buyer normally purchases all of the real estate.but none of the seller's personal property.Problems can arise when personal property has become a part of the real estate.These are called fixtures and do not pass with the real estate unless they are shown as inclusions on the Promise To Purchase (sales contract).There are three usual tests which must be satisfied.1) Has the personal property been permanetly annexed to the real estate\u201d: 2) Is it intended to become part of the real estate\u201d: and 3) what is the custom of the area where the real estate is being sold?Usual fixtures might include: shades.screens.storm windows, specific lighting fixtures.curtain rods.etc.It 1s important that the seller spell out specifically.mn the Brokerage Contract and on the listing sheet.exact- Iv what is intended to be given to the buyer as part of the real estate.This will save misunderstanding at the closing.and sometimes save the sale!

063 $ per capita; Montréal, que 433 $); 8) Westmount perdrait son statut de ville bilingue.Bien des choses ont changé depuis - mise à part l\u2019éternelle obsession du maire Bourque pour « une ile, une ville ».Le 3 août dernier, en plein c_ ur de la bataille, le médiateur Louis Bernard, mandataire du Premier ministre Bouchard, arrivait avec une proposition de compromis qui a provoqué une vive réaction des deux parties, mais a été bien accueillie par la presse.Sa proposition était de créer une seule ville sur l\u2019Île de Montréal, divisée en 28 arrondissements autonomes ayant des pouvoirs réduits.Chaque arrondissement serait chapeauté par un « mini-maire ».La nouvelle ville, à la grandeur de l\u2019île, serait dirigée par un « méga- maire » et 60 conseillers, parmi lesquels on retrouverait les mini-maires.Et puis, huit petites villes seraient tout simplement rayées de la carte.Et l\u2019actuelle Ville de Montréal serait divisée en 9 de ces arrondissements.La proposition de M.Bernard a entraîné deux réactions : les maires de banlieue ont décidé de provoquer un référendum sur l\u2019ensemble de l\u2019île, le 19 novembre prochain.De notre côté, nous ne voulions pas laisser cette proposition sans réponse.Le 18 septembre, nous avons présenté notre contre-proposition en vertu de laquelle les pouvoirs de la nouvelle ville étaient réduits, les services d'incendie demeuraient sous contrôle local et les villes de banlieue étaient laissées intactes.Le lendemain, le maire Bourque, en grande pompe, annonçait sa contre-proposition.Encore une fois, il remettait sur la table son éternelle proposition « une ile, une ville ».Cette fois, il dorait un peu la pilule : neuf arrondissements surgissaient soudain, modeste concession faite à la proposition de M.Bernard.En réalité, il s'agissait plutôt de divisions administratives n'ayant aucun pouvoir de taxation, dépourvues de véritables pouvoirs décisionnaires.La prochaine date à retenir est le 30 septembre, lorsque M.Bernard présentera son rapport final.Nous serons alors en mesure de formuler la question pour le référendum prévu le 19 novembre et nous pourrons lancer la campagne référendaire.À suivre (malheureusement).Bien à vous, Peter F.Trent Maire Letter from the Mayor September 26, 2000 Dear Fellow Citizen: I last wrote to you on this subject on June 27th.Things were relatively clear then.The battle lines were drawn.We saw no logical reason for Westmount to be gobbled up by Montreal.From his side, Mayor Pierre Bourque continued to believe in municipal salvation through forcible territorial acquisition.We also announced that Westmount would hold a referendum in order that you.citizen and taxpayer.could have your say in the matter.We wished to respect a seemingly quaint idea called democracy.In that letter.1 also went over some of the main arguments against annexation: 1) The diseconomies of scale (Montreal spends 35% more per capita than the rest of the Island cities): 2) A whopping great increase in taxes (the new evaluation roll would make things even worse); 3) The fact the only place in the world where amalgamations are currently taking place is in Ontario; 4) The Toronto megacity will probably cost money, even after service cuts and new user fees: 5) U.S.urban regions such as Boston (282 cities) and Atlanta (102 cities) are doing fine without mergers; 6) Citizens would lose their right of approval of zoning changes or even the borrowing of money: 7) We already subsidise Montreal through the MUC (Westmount pays $1063 per capita, they pay $433); 8) Westmount would lose its bilingual status.Much has happened, and changed, since - that is, all except Mayor Bourque's abiding obsession with one-island-one-city.On August 3, right down the middle of the field of battle came M.Louis Bernard - Premier Bouchard\u2019s fixer-cum-emissary extraordinary - with à compromise proposal which drew scattered fire from both sides, but praise from the press.His proposal was to create one city for the island of Montreal, but to have it divided up into 28 autonomous \u201cboroughs\u201d with reduced responsibilities.(Actually, his term was arrondissements - which to my mind are not boroughs.) Each arrondissement would be run by a mini-mayor.The new Island-wide city would be run by one maxi-mayor and 60 councillors, some of whom would be the mini-may- ors.Oh, and eight small cities would be wiped off the map.And the existing City of Montreal would be divided up into 9 of those arrondissements.Bernard\u2019s proposal triggered two things: the suburban mayors decided on an Island-wide referendum on November 19th.We also felt we could not leave this proposal unanswered.On September 18th, we presented a counterproposal where the new city\u2019s powers were cut back, fire services remained under local control, and the suburban citics were left intact.The next day, Bourque, with much pomp, announced his counterproposal.To no one\u2019s surprise, he beat the drum again for onc- island-one-city.This time he added a bit of tinsel: nine arrondissements were thrown in as a sop to the Bernard proposal, but they would be administrative subdivisions without the power to tax, in fact, without the power to do very much at all.: They next key date is September the 30th, when Bernard will make his final report.We will then be able to formulate the question for the November 19 referendum and launch the referendum campaign.To be, unfortunately, continued.Yours truly, Peter F.Trent Mayor 40205169 6 a6rda - 0007 \u20188Z J9quia1das \u2018AEpsInyY] - WO IBUNLEXIIUNOWISIM MMA - YININYXI INNOWLSIM IHL ans Letters to the editor -e Have we learned anything from the costly imposition of the MUC, another level of bureaucracy, to accomplish what?I now wonder why I should concern myself with such trivia, because does anyone care?(continued from page 6) Doesn\u2019t anyone care?To the editor: His Worship Pierre Bourque, mayor of Montreal, has conjured up an alternative (?) proposal to the \u2018One island one city\u2019 concept by the creation of nine boroughs, each of which would be responsible for local zoning, sports and recreation, culture, street and sidewalk maintenance, and garbage collection.Wm.E.Dubé Burton Avenue Does Westmount have a raccoon problem?How does one imagine the fulfill- To the editor: ment of these proposed obligations thrust upon the \u2018boroughs\u2019 while dependent upon the gratuity of funding by the Big City?After having spent several months with a mother raccoon and her six youngsters on my second-floor terrace some summers ago, I can understand Ms.Segal\u2019s desperation (Letters, Sept.14).What should the City do?It seems that first and foremost it needs to educate its citizens to deal with such animals in a responsible way and to place garbage into appropriate garbage cans.As more and more of their habitat is being encroached upon (the condo project on the grounds of the old federal armoury on Atwater being one of the most recent), raccoons and other wildlife will have little choice but to invade our neighbourhoods.Alice Dind Mount Pleasant Avenue At the right is a snapshot of some bona-fide Westmount raccoons, taken a few years ago, which Ms.Dind enclosed with her letter.ANDY DODGE & ASSOC.INC.Real estate consultants & appraisers C.P.357, Succ.Victoriq, Westmount H3Z 2V8 Tel: 482-8560 rx: 482-8621 www.microtec.net/-andyd.40203951 Best Wishes for a Happy and Healthy Rosh Hashanah Nicole Powell 932-0016 YOU ASKED FOR IF - Auractive cedar home, 4-scason retreat.3 bur, stone fireplace, 1 172 baths, mountain view.Between Knowlton and Sutton, $105,000.A AN ROYAL LEPAGE SR 14 40205140 PEAK OF PERFECTION - Heart of Knowlton, near on the market 3 bdrs + den + bdrm and bathroom off kitchen.uld be a breakfast room.Very high ceilings.Exposed brick wall on staircase.Full of charm.A must see! $359,000 Jane Allan 40205139 Groupe Sutton Centre 0.BRIAN GANS NOTAIRE - REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS, WILLS, MANDATES, ESTATE SETTLEMENT, PROTECTIVE SUPERVISION TRANSACTIONS IMMOBILIÈRES, TESTAMENTS, MANDATS, REGLEMENTS DE SUCCESSION, REGIMES DE PROTECTION 5465 chemin QUEEN MARY ROAD, SUITE 200 : VE MONTREAL, QUEBEC H3X 1V5 a : TEL.: (514) 488-9556 FAX :(514) 488-4571.the Boat Club, on 1 172, acres.3-bedroom residence impeccably maintained.Screened porch, inground pool.garden pond.Investigate this opportunity.$259,000.Lois Hardacker (450) 242-2000 mmm |ois@royalepage.ca ROVALLEPAGE RL Action, ctr NOTARY 40205184 40205076 Godel Affiliated Real Estate Agent 11 years of successful selling with Westmount's \u201cPremiere Boutique\u201d Real Estate Firm.Put my experience to work for you!

We have a lot in common.Out Temple archivist and historian Allan Raymond has investigated the connection between our two congregations and supplied me with the facts.\u201cMontreal\u2019s Temple Emanu-El was born on 24 August 1882.Most of those present belonged to what was called the German Shule.Of course, its better known today as Shaar Hashomayim.The German Shule was located near the Champ de Mars, and like the Portuguese Synangogue on Chenneville Street, from which it sprang, it used the Orthodox ritual.\u201cRabbi Samuel Marks was then its spiritual guide.He came form the United States and was imbued with the enlightenment of his age.He introduced prayers in the vernacular, much against the protest of long-time members.The crisis arrived when he sought to have young women participate in the Simchat Torah service.Shaar Hashomayim held a referendum which resulted in the withdrawal of the Rabbi and his admirers, who formed Temple Emanu-El.It leased 8\" 8 eco sans HASTIOMAYIM 425 Metcalfg Avenue, Westmount \u201cHONEY FOR THE SOUL % | JAA mn | \u201cth commu ity 1 i invited?No âttéfid = Sa pa and.spffitual oprah ei ofa epoèn Häsflang ré d Yom per ROSH HASHANAH KUMZITZ Sunday, October 1st at 4:30 p.m.YOM KIPPUR KUMZITZ Monday, October 9th at 3:00 p.m.Hall Hill.In this same church, the Montefiore Club, founded in 1880, was granted use of the lower hall for purposes of dramatics.Lyon Cohen, one of your presidents, acted in those same Montefiore dramatics.\u201cSo the Temple went its own way, engaged the services of an organist and choir, retained the tallis, the hat, and two days of Rosh Hashanah.Temple installed family pews, then an innovation.In 1892 we at last occupied our own structure on Stanley Street, where we worshipped until 1911.And all this because your Rabbi Marks became our Rabbi Marks.Your and our Rabbi Marks had a great personality and was exceptionally charitable.He was a one-man CJA, an easy mark for all shnorrers, whether local or tourist.Its of interest that the German, Polish, and English congregation, your lovely Shaar Hashomayim, was mainly founded by men who had first been members of the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue, including Solomon Silverman, whose Bible Allan Raymond just donated to your museum in honour of your 150th.Allan has also donated Rabbi Herman Abramowitzs kiddush cup and can to your museum.of the Spanish and Portuguese withdrew to form the Shaar Hashomayim, but they left their Rabbi Abraham de M Sola behind.How loyal are the members of the Temple, for when they started their congregation, they with- fo drew from the Shaar Hashomayim, re but they took their Rabbi Samuel Te Marks with them! ec Is \u201cWe share another rabbi in common, as well, Rabbi Elias Friedlander) who decided to become rabbi at the Si Temple after serving the Shaar \u2014 Hashomayim.Rabbi Friedlander, while serving at the Shaar, carried on an old tradition in Montreal.Breakaway congregations do not receive rabbinic sanction.You see, back in 1859, when Shaar Hashomayim dedicated its cornerstone, Rabbi Abraham de Sola of the Spanish and Portuguese refused an invitation to attend.\u201cSimilarly, Rabbi Friedlander refused an invitation from the Temple in 1892 to attend the dedication of the new building as the Shaar Hashomayim\u2019s rabbi.Little did he suspect that he would soon be preaching from the very pulpit he refused to | ascend.(continued on page 19) DRESSMAKER - ANGELA Angela would like to wish all her Jewish clients and friends Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New- Year DROP IN OR CALL US AT 5139 DECARIE - RM 205 Best Wishes for a 486-4077 40205179 514) 482-2167 RESTAURANT BAR The staff and management of the Mess Hall would like to wish a Happy, Healthy and Prospersus New Year to their Yewish customens and friends 40205180 4858 Sherbrooke West, Westmount Sutton Rhona Golfman Shapiro Chartered Real Estate Agent Best wishes to all my clients & friends for a new year of peace, personal fulfillment and good health.848-0115 Groupe Sutton Centre Ouest Chartered Real Estate Broker 40205034 They built well the \u201cOur two congregations share in common a location: Westmount.The Temple is the second oldest synagogue building in all of Canada that is still in use, and the Shaar Hashomayim is the second oldest congregation in Quebec.We both built well.Our forebears knew their real estate.It might also be added that your rabbis and ours have often worked together for the betterment of our unique Montreal community \u201cSo, I congratulate you on this selichot night upon your forthcoming sesquicentennial.May it be a year of true rejoicing.I hope well all be here in good health to celebrate Temples 150th in 2032.You may consider yourselves invited to the simcha.Mazel tov, and from our house to yours, Ishanah tovah tikatevu!\u201d 0 Allan Raymond is the archivist of Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom.soxsex ACCESSOIRES BODY SHOP \u2014 Best wishes for a happy and healthy Rosh Hashanah 40205189 357 Greene Ave.Westmount 931-4980 1 synagogues in Westmount Shaar Hashomayim when it was first built: \u201cThe new synagogue is an achievement which they could hardly have thought possible.A structure, cathedral-like in its imposing proportions and dominating its immediate surroundings, it breathes the very life of stateliness and permanence.The cornerstone was laid on Nov.10, 1921 and the dedication was Sept.17, 1922.\u201d \u2014'The Jew in Canada\u2019.TE CANADIAN Dosis BOOKS HOOK selection of children's books : Ce HEALTHY NEW YEAR 1235A Greene Avenue 932-5093 Best wishes for a happy and healthy Rosh Hashanah Meilleurs voeux de santé et de bonheur à l\u2019occasion du Rosh Hashanah L'honorable Lucienne Robillard, Députée.WESTMOUNT - VILLE-MARIE Présidente du Conseil du Trésor et ministre responsable de l\u2019Infrastructure The honourable Lucienne Robillard, MP WESTMOUNT - VILLE-MARIE President of the Treasury Board and Minister responsible for Infrastructure 8 2360 Notre-Dame ouest/West, bureau/suite 300 Tél.: 514 283-2013 § a courriel / e-mail: robill1 @parl.gc.ca \u201c all our Jewish friends and clientele, a very happy, healthy and BOUTIQUE MäcDONALD Enrg.40205164 - Fine Ladies' Fashions 392 VICTORIA, Westmount ($0 on the Guenue The Bistro wishes all their Jewish customers 486-6676 and friends a happy, healthy & prosperous New Year 40205167 939-6451 Fully licenced 1362 GREENE AVE.estmount All major credit cards accepted (DIAM NALA IP FSI ESS SE |.May the New Year - \u2014 bring joy, health and prosperity to all our Jewish customers and friends!

and communities \u2014- during the earliest years so that Canada\u2019s children are happy, healthy, and ready to learn when they start school.With an investment of $2.2 billion over five years through the Canada Health and Social Transfer, the Liberal government is doing its part to promote healthy pregnancy, birth and infancy, to support parents and families; to strengthen early childhood development, learning and care and to strengthen community supports.Every child, every family is unique - with individual strengths, weaknesses, and resources.This Agreement takes into account this wonderful diversity and provides provincial and territorial governments with the ability to tailor their early childhood development services to meet the needs of their youngest citizens.In some communities, this could mean more child care spaces, in others, it could mean better services for mothers and infants at risk.Canadians have a stake in the well- being of our children and will benefit \u2014 either directly or indirectly - from this To all our clients Agreement.And we should know how these new investments are benefiting our society.This is why governments, under this Agreement, will report publicly on what they are doing to enhance the well-being of young children.It will allow us to track our progress and see how our tax dollars are being invested.The Early Childhood Development Agreement is a priority under Canada's National Children's Agenda ( a set of objectives agreed to by federal and provincial governments to focus weeks at home together.And though efforts on the health and well-being of all Canadians are benefiting from our Canada's children.A cornerstone of Five-Year Tax Reduction Plan, it is the National Children's Agenda is the families with children who benefit the National Child Benefit that helps low- most with an average reduction in per- income families with investments that sonal income tax of 21 per cent.will reach $2.5 billion by the year 2004.We have also extended parental leave benefits so that parents and new babies can spend up to 50 LE CLUB du Village wishes a happy, healthy and Pus Wishes all their Jewish customers and friends a very Healthy, gt\" Happy and Prosperous New Year! | 4209 St.Catherine St.W.; (Corner Greene) 937-7072 4 Somerville (corner Victoria) prosperous New Year to all our Jewish clientele qui ra Happ 21 Somerville Avenue FC ÿ à Good health, joy and prosperity to all our Jewish customers and friends in the New Year DARMO AUTO INC.WESTMOUNT'S BODYWORK SPECIALISTS FOR 50 YEARS = 485-2502 NELSON GARAGE INC.PROFESSIONAL AUTO REPAIRS Serving Westmounters since 1928 extend their best wishes for the New Year to all Jewish friends and customers.40205168 4020515\" WINTER'S COMING, DON'T FORGET [Fo RUST CONTROL SYSTEMS 1100 Décarie 486-0785 481-0155 celebrating the holidays, we wish you a happy 4901 SHERBROOKE St.W.(just west of Prince Albert) + Loungewear + Day wear 4861 SHERBROOKE ST.W.fine lingerie To all our Jewish customers and friends a very Happy, Healthy & Prosperous New Year 40205166 * Fine Lingerie * Swimwear 484-5656 FINE ORIENTAL, SZECHUAN & THAI CUISINE 374 Victoria Ave., Westmount 369-1122 Free Delivery Wishes all their Jewish customers and friends a most Joyous & Healthy New Year 40705176 ® Gourm, HOT & SPICY wishes all their Jewish customers and friends a most Joyous, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year 7373, Decarie blvd.Corner Jean-Talon 731-1818 LZ a6Wg -

register, 332-9665 For now, at least, the future seems bright for all three.Roderick, Raymond and Raphael were all selected to play for the elite Lachine Trappeurs Hockey Club, who play in the Lac St.-Louis league.The Trappeurs draw players from the Westmount, Hampstead, Cote St.Luc, Ville St.Pierre, Lachine and Montreal West districts, which results in roughly 60 to 70 kids trying out for each team.With such a huge base of players to choose from, it is indeed no small feat that Roderick was not only selected to the Midget BB team, but also nominated captain by the team\u2019s coach.Despite the kind of recognition that could probably translate into a second or third string spot on the Lachine AA team, Roderick has his own reasons not to play at the highest level.\u201cWhile I was in Pee Wee I was the last cut for the AA team.After the tryouts the coach called me up and asked me to play for them.I didn\u2019t even think about it, I jumped at the opportunity and ended up not having the greatest year.I didn\u2019t want that to happen again this year.\u201d (continued on page 23) OÙ Royal West Academy 189 Easton Ave., Montreal West, H4X 1L4 You are cordially invited to Open House 2000

to be eclipsed by the success of their older bothers (think Eric and Brett Lindros) Raymond and Raphael both earn high praise from their Bantam BB coach, Ian Lefebvre.\u201cRaymond fits very well into our system, he\u2019s a tough center and a very talented playmaker.The same holds true for Raphael, who plays defense for us.He\u2019s not very big (Raphael is the only 13-year-old Bantam player in Quebec) but he is very solid on his skates and is a very intelligent player.\u201d e Its no accident that the Leiders are u ch talented players.All three were on skates at the tender age of two and credit father Arnold with the utmost support throughout their respective playing careers.Arnold Leider, himself a former hockey player at Concordia, has his own aspirations for his three sons, but maintains he is simply there to encourage them.\u201cIt makes me proud to see them on the ice.Instead of pouring my extra time into work, going skiing on the weekend, or enrolling them in tennis lessons, I dedicate myself to driving them to their games and practices.Having kids on a competitive hockey teams is a full-time commitment, but I enjoy every minute of it.\u201d Roderick was nominated to the GMAA (Greater Montreal Athletics Association) all-star team as the starting left wing in his final year at Selwyn house.Raymond scored 40 goals in his Pee Wee BB season and Raphael's scored the go-ahead goal for his Novice team in their regional final to lift his team to victory.The list goes on and on and, should the brothers keep playing, will continue to do so for years to come.La maison d'enseignement secondaire Saint-Nom-de-Marie trace la voie depuis près d'un siècle.Nombre de jeunes filles ont reçu une formation solide autant en sciences qu'en arts.Nous visons un but

sculptures from the female form.Working in wood, bronze or stone, Samuels says she is concerned with taking the classical form and modifying it\u2014a process that often leads her towards
