The local Y is presently looking for individuals wishing to volunteer as shadows for children with special needs at its integrated day camp, Kamp Kinema.Volunteers are required to be available for at least one day a week between June 24 and August 23.Kamp Kinema integrates children with a wide variety of disabilities.The shadow\u2019s role is to help the child I: you are looking to acquire they accompany get involved as much as possible in the activities.The shadow gets to go swimming with the child, participate in all the activities that the child does, go on outings and most of all, form a special bond with the child that they are accompanying.Training sessions are offered to all volunteers.Volunteers will be rewarded with a free membership at the Westmount YMCA.For more information contact Melanie Gotlieb, Integration Specialist, Westmount YMCA, (514) 931-6770 ext.234 or fax (514) 931-9219 or email kampkinema2002@yahoo.ca.WE deliver YOUR Flyers: Call 484-5610.Nota SEED .' : de ui du Qualité bactériologique de l'eau en rive* © die *, 3 > are \u201c tt sent hd milieu aqua Semaine du 30 juin au 3 juillet 2002 .Rosemont; § iQ: - ê Fleuve £ Saint-Laurent Nonibre de coliformes Météo lors & fécaux / 100mi de I! écnantilonnage ren © * Excelems 1a @ cmos Terps at-Royal ite @ 3orne {21200 ac rue Outremont .Sainte 4 Satsfa sante (\u201cC* à 200: Dernières precipitati Ville-Marle ¢ le MAUVAISE (201 à 10CC: ' ons ; pute phy of mis !

Duection de l'emvuunnement February and Another March real estate.successful sports transfers season Unplanted flowers are contractor's responsibility F lowers and shrubs reported to have been sitting me ea a =] idle on trolleys behind the Westmount Conservatory for a prolonged period are the responsibility of a contractor who could be penalized for the delay, says a borough official.The Examiner was alerted to the problem by a York Avenue resident who claimed the plants had been there for as long as a month\u2014in the intense sun in the midst of the last week\u2019s heat wave.\u201cTwo main areas 6f Westmount Park are bare,\u201d she said, wondering why the planting was delayed until the second week of July.\u201cThey've been left for at least a month on end to wilt and rot in the heat.And especially the part of the park by the library\u2014usually it looks like a Monet garden.It\u2019s bare now.It looks as if they plant next week they'll have to rip it up in two months.\u201d Public Works Director Fred Caluori said the plants could not have been stored behind the Conservatory for as long as claimed.\u201c1 would doubt that those flowers there have been there for a month because the contractor didn\u2019t have delivery yet,\u201d he said, conceding that flowers other than the ones seen last week might have been in the same spot a month ago because there are not many places in Westmount where they can be stored.Caluori insisted that responsibility for the problem resides ultimately with the contractor hired by the borough.\u201cI think it\u2019s to be pointed out that (the flowers) do not belong to Westmount,\u201d he said, noting that the planting should be completed by the end of next week.\u201cThey belong to the contractor doing the planting.So if they are to wilt, the contractor is responsible for it.They're aware (of the situation) and it\u2019s their responsibility to water them.And if they don\u2019t water them, they\u2019ll have to replace them at the end.\u201d Claudette Savaria, the borough's chief horticulturalist, said the flowers were to be planted around the arena, the median on Park Place, on Greene Avenue and in Westmount Park.Savaria said that despite being unprotected from the sun and heat, the plants weren't in danger for a week or even longer.\u201cIf they're well watered there\u2019s no problem,\u201d she said.grrr ES eid UT UT (a Hundreds of plants were stored behind Victoria Hall last weekend.Gazette column raises Westmount's ire Borough councillor Cynthia Lulham pointed out that Westmount is no less welcoming than other communities, citing as one example the fact that it allows wedding parties to use Westmount Park for photographic sessions without having to obtain a permit.Certain other communities like Outremont require permits.Kiely said she was concerned that the perception of Westmount by those outside might put Quebec Liberal leader Jean Charest, one of Westmount\u2019s few allies in the de-merger issue, \u201cin a very difficult position if we keep doing this\u2014especially when you look at Cote St.Luc, Hampstead and TMR.They don\u2019t seem to be getting this kind of negative press.\u201d South Africa was in when it had segregation laws.\u201cI'm not by any means comparing Westmount with white South Africans,\u201d she said.\u201cBut you know, Apartheid could still be in effect if the people who had the right to vote could make that decision in South Africa.\u201d Montgomery lived on Academy Road in Westmount in the mid-1980s after Elgin Fy ccording to a blurb promoting her Gazette column, Sue Montgomery is a mother of two who doesn't get enough sleep or sex and who writes about \u201cthings 6\" drive me nuts.\u201d ®7 Now Montgomery has incurred the wrath of Westmounters with claims she made in her July 1 column that of the 27 boroughs in the City of Montreal, only Westmount has been systematically denying non-residents access to the municipal pool and other recreation services, despite megacity regulations that outlaw such prohibitions.\u201c] see it as mean-spirited and selfish,\u201d said Montgomery, who lives a few streets west of Westmount in NDG.\u201cIf that\u2019s going to get them a reputation of being spoiled little brats, that\u2019s not my fault.\u201d Arguing that under the new law of the megacity the majority should rule, Montgomery drew an analogy between Westmount\u2019s position and the one moving here from Ontario, so \u201cI know of what I speak,\u201d she said, referring to Westmount residents.\u201cThey\u2019re a bunch of snobs.Don\u2019t get me wrong.I know tons of people in Westmount.My in- laws live there.I know there are lovely people who live there.But unfortunately there is a sense, because of things like this, of snobbishness.\u201d During borough council\u2019s question period July 2, council regular Maureen Kiely said she wondered whether it\u2019s \u201ccounter productive by not being a little more welcoming.Because clearly we're now being perceived by the outside community as very narrow-minded, provincial and very elitist.We're basically considered to be behaving like small children that will not share our toys.\u201d City councillor Karin Marks, whom Montgomery singled out in her column, said that each community on Montreal Island has established its own set of rules in order to ensure that their residents get priority.\u201cFor some reason, people want to maintain the stereotype that they have of Westmount,\u201d she said.Marks said that Montgomery \u201cis not interested in writing anything positive about Westmount.We've tried to be cooperative and we've tried to be supportive, but that doesn\u2019t make good press.I think that people want to maintain the stereotype\u2014the totally inaccurate stereotype\u2014that they have of Westmounters.It\u2019s much easier to use us as a target.\u201d our greenhouse staff is very welcoming,\u201d she said.\u201cWe tend to forget how much we already do\u2014and we do a lot,\u201d Lulham said.cern was that \u201cour citizens are being maligned.We all know what kind of community this is, know the number of people who participate as volunteers, who are on boards and who contribute enormously.To have them stereotyped that way 1 find unbelievably offensive.\u201d John de Castell have written a letter to the Gazette as a rebuttal to the column.\u201cWe have lots of wedding parties and Marks added that her greater con- Councillors Marks, Lulham and \u20ac abed - Z00T \u201cLL AIn[ \u201cAepsiny] - MOT

If this was all a game, why did Pierre Bourque need a police escort to protect him from demonstrators when he visited Westmount in March of last year?And why did Richard McConomy, the Vision Montreal candidate in the Nov.4 election, bring along two bodyguards when he appeared at the campaign\u2019s main event in Victoria Hall?As it stands, Westmount has already lost much from the megacity merger.A popular, dedicated and effective mayor has been forced out of office, and borough department heads who used to solve problems with a quick, informal phone call now have to channel everything through a bureaucratic maze of strangers downtown.With all that\u2014plus so much more that space prohibits mentioning\u2014how could anyone be expected to simply smile, shake hands and \u201cplay along?\u201d A beaten dog is not apt to lick the face of its attacker.With no uncertain malice, Ms.Montgomery ridicules Westmount for simply doing all it can to retain as much as possible the way of life prior to the forced merger with Montreal.But with a whopping 98 per cent of residents in the Nov.2000 referendum expressing their opposition to joining the megacity, borough officials are right to be acting in the interest of the vast majority of people they represent\u2014and this is where the criticism is aimed every time.Of course it hasn\u2019t helped that a few dog owners have made waves by expressing their fear that \u2018outsiders\u2019 would start crowding into their facilities, and the public commotion over increased library membership was an all-out disaster that only served to increase the misconceptions that were already flying around.This is not the first time Ms.Montgomery has demonstrated her dislike for Westmount in print, nor is it likely to be the last, but this time her uninformed vitriol succeeded in striking a chord with residents and elected officials alike.She gleefully accused the Sports & Rec Dept.of not publicizing its registration period for non-residents\u2014but omitted all mention of the fact that advertising outside the community was completely unnecessary, as on the first day the queue spilled out of the Sports & Rec office and into the arena lobby.Yet, in all irony and poetic justice, the column\u2019s entire point is rendered useless at the end.as it inadvertently explains the main reason behind the very actions it criticizes.Cosmo Maciocia, the megacity official in charge of recreational facilities, apparently had no knowledge of how Westmount was going about its business\u2014a perfect illustration of the kind of bureaucratic bungling Westmount continues its fight to avoid.N Civilization predated Romans To the editor: In his June 20 column \u2018Water, water everywhere!\u2019 George Bowser is right in highlighting the importance of water management for the survival of civilizations and in stating that \u201cthe ancient Romans built aqueducts and sewer systems that were the envy of the civilized world\u201d but dead wrong in adding: \u201cor they would have been, if there had been any other civilized world to envy them\u201d.First of all, civilization predates the Roman Empire and was not exclusive to Europe and secondly Persia.India, Egypt and Mesopotamia had aqueducts centuries before the Romans did.albeit not such extensive ones.Such narrow Eurocentric notions water down his column!

abandon part of its boycott of the Montreal @ \"=.e\" Committee.At a special uncil session this past Monday, a statement of principles was passed, declaring that \u2018The City will process any request for information or will request authorization relating to issues that could affect the safety and the security of its citizens.\u201d The City will also \u2018ensure that any request for information dealing with issues relating to its employees, their employment within the anticipated megacity and their well-being will be processed.Requests will be answered by providing to the Transition Committee all data publicly available.\u201d Forty Years Ago July 13, 1962: WORLD'S CHAMP: \"Seemingly in celebration of Westmount Lawn Bowling Club's Diamond Jubilee, Dame Fortune smiled and the popular club was skyrocketed to the top in world prominence.Earlier this week one of their leading players, John Henderson, won the World Lawn Bowling Tournament singles\u2019 championship at the Seattle World\u2019s Fair.The win put Westmount on the map in the eyes of so many Americans and world players who otherwise would not have known where Canada\u2019s best-run municipality was located or even existed.\u201d Fifty Years Ago July 11, 1952: DUPLESSIS ACCUSES MARLER: \u201cPremier Maurice Duplessis\u2014speak- ing in support of Kenneth A.Wilson, National Union candidate in Westmount-St.George riding, Wednesday night at a rally at the new West Hill High School\u2014stressed the qualifications of his standard bearer and tossed brickbats at George C.Marler, the Liberal candidate.Speaking before more than 2,500 people and backed by two cabinet ministers, all the English-speaking candidates of the NU in the province and more than 100 prominent citizens, the remier called Marler tactics \u2018contemptible.\u2019 Sixty Years Ago July 16, 1942: ROYAL SIGHTING: \u201cResidents of Westmount and Notre Dame de Grace, who happened to be on Sherbrooke street Monday morning about ten o'clock, got a fleeting glimpse of youthful King Peter of Yugoslavia as he passed through those sections of the Island of Montreal on his way to a short visit to the Adirondack Mountains.His Majesty had arrived Sunday evening in Ottawa, where he had been the guest of the Governor General of Canada, the Earl of Athlone, for two days, and had stopped overnight in Montreal.\u201d 11 WHS students graduate with honours he entrance to Westmount | High School was decorated with purple and white streamers and balloons recently as grads, staff, friends and families celebrated the school\u2019s 110th graduation ceremonies.It was standing room only as the enthusiastic crowd cheered the 79 graduating students.Principal Claude Dansereau told the assembly that their goal was to continue to improve what was started at WHS.This year 11 students graduated with honours (80 per cent or higher), 12 graduated with merit distinction (75 to 79 per cent) and 22 with a Bilingual certificate.Representatives from the WHS community included Sebastian MacDougall, president of WHOBA, Westmount's Volunteer Citizen of the Year Richard Lord, guest speaker Mario Tirelli and EMSB Commissioner Joan Rothman.A long list of scholarships, book and recognition awards were handed out for everything from most improved student to highest achievement to getting through in spite of crisis.The highlight of the evening was the inspirational address given by valedictorian Alexandra Cabelli.The event was followed by a reception in the gym.Sandy Highet is new Rotary president Westmount Rotary started it\u2019s 2002- 2003 year with an address from its new President Sandy Highet last week.The Westmount resident promised efficient, no-nonsense business meetings, and in turn delivered a short, punchy talk as an inaugural speech for his new term.In addition to reassessing the fundraising programs for this term, Highet encouraged the membership to start thinking about an appropriate Centenary project for the year 2005.Former Westmount resident Dr.Charles Pierce and his wife Barbara were guests and shared with their former club members a recent trip to Katmandu, where they assessed the medical needs in Nepal.Pierce now lives in Cincinnati and his club is collecting unused medical equipment from two local hospitals to send to Nepal.While panhandling is looked down upon in Westmount, the Rotary Club announced last week that Westmounters are encouraged to collect all that loose change that is collecting on tops of dressers and in ill-assorted hiding places and bring it to the Rotary office.The Club will add the money to their Welfare fund and will be used for good purposes like Christmas baskets.They will even roll it for you.Donors can take their small change to 4646 Sherbrooke Street West.Call Nancy at 935-3344 for information.Learning continues at Contactivity The Contactivity Centre is offering four tuition free workshops to its volunteers,

cure Westmount Florists owner Christine Pickrell recently heard of a novel way to entertain friends and raise funds for breast cancer research at the same time.\u201cInstead of running or walking, Canadians are encouraged to cook and entertain for a good cause.Party guests are encouraged to make a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation instead of bringing a bottle of wine or other hostess gift.\u201d Pickrell will be the first person in Quebec to host a Cook for The Cure party, and has gone all out to celebrate summer with her guests.Westmount Florists staff person Aleta Brott recently spent five months in Italy and brought back recipes she wants to try, so the pair are cooking up a feast of Italian food to serve her 24 guests this evening.The idea was the brainstorm of former Westmount resident Anna Garney.The project is sponsored by Kitchenaid, which has put together a hostess package that includes a guidebook, invitations, tips, menu ideas and donor cards.For more

exhibition of vintage cars was a hit this week at the vernissage at the Java U.Pepler found the models to paint the colourful series when she visited Havana to research vintage cars in April.Her first solo show at Galerie Tremblay-Monet in November 2000, that also included some cars, nearly sold out.Pepler has been a freelance television storyboard illustrator for 12 years, and has taken a year off to pursue a full time painting career \u201cswitching from \u2018painting with markers\u2019 to \u2018painting with brushes\u2019.an casy transition.\u201d The exhibition continues at the Java U 4914 Sherbrooke Street West until July 30.Sharing communities The Westmount Parks and Recreation Department is in the process of planting a special flower bed as part of the Communities in Bloom project.Westmount is partnered with Dungannon, Northern Ireland this year and is recognizing that association by planting part of their crest.Four flowers represent four stalks of flax, the four smaller councils joined to form one larger municipality.The horizontal base is that of a weaver\u2019s shuttle depicting the Village of Hoy and the Town of Dungannon, much associated with the weaving of Irish Linen.Three flowers and a shuttle form part of the coat of arms for Dungannon and South Tyronne Borough council.Place Kensington honours artists The well-known group of watercolour painters at Place Kensington recently celebrated the end of their season with their annual vernissage.The afternoon, that included a wine and cheese reception, began with a welcome from Program Director Doreen Friedman who acknowledged both the work and dedication the artists had given to learning or developing their skills.It was noted that each artist has a natural inclination to expressing their inner artistic impressions.Some of the artists have worked with watercolours previously and had picked up a paintbrush again since moving to Place Kensington.For others it is a new experience.Just as each resident it unique, cach artist's style is unique.Most of the artists are in their 90s, but there are a few \u2018babies\u2019 who are in their late 80s.They are taught by Westmount artist Marcia Roszler, who has been sharing her skills with the residents for 10 years.The works are displayed around the atrium and adjoining rooms until July 15.A portion of the proceeds of the sales will go to the Montreal Association for the Blind.The watercolour artis ARPSINY] + WO ISURLBXIIUNOWISIA ALMM - YININYXI INNOWLSIAN FHL < » a ® ~N Page 8 - THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - www.westmountexaminer.com - Thursday, july 11, 2002 Capturing that great summer feeling Follow a basic summer rule and stay outdoors! Kizngss with Marylin Smith Carsley pen the windows and feel the O sunshine.Appreciate the season of flowers, abundant greenery and escape from confinement with a warm surge of freedom.When I was growing up, as soon as those spring winds blew in, I immediately dashed out from within the walls of my house.Biking, roller-skating, tennis, and hanging out at the park became the daily after school routine.My parents had to bribe us inside with the promise that we could go back out after supper.Of course, there were no computers or video games to tempt us indoors but bicycling and meeting our friends were all that we really cared about anyway.Today many children tend to be more stationary and overweight due to less physical activity.Gym classes are constantly cut due to school board budgeting, stationary technology has claimed their attention, and junk food has reached a new high in variety Playing outdoors had somewhat evolved into that old-fashioned entertainment.Pentium PC's ° Laser printing ° Colour scanner Computer library Computer courses available Hourly Computer Rentals * High-speed ADSL Internet public access * PC software: Word, Excel, Power Point, Access Parents, remind your kids how much fun skipping, working a hula-hoop, biking, blading or shooting a ball against a wall can be.Once the kids have the taste of fresh air taste, calling them back in may be a greater but worthwhile effort.Leave that indoor hibernation for winter when weather is the dictator of our whereabouts.Now that summer has made its presence known, there are many ways to invigorate during this season.If a child\u2019s day is spent at camp, half your job is done and if sleeping camp is the plan, your job is accomplished.But when the kids are home and the weather is conducive, use your yard! Remember another hidden benefit in having the kids outdoors is that you can keep the interior of the house immaculate, as no one will be interested in staying inside.How To Have Fun In The Sun First slather on the sunscreen.Adapt the activities to the age groups and around a camp schedule.Have a radio and some reading material handy for yourself, as you may be able to grab some literary moments if the kids are occupied.Set up your backyard or front yard so that you are always prepared.In addition to the basic lawn furniture, have some miniature kid sized tables and chairs.Prepare a giant plastic box with a cover (animals won't be able to enter and it keeps the yard neat) and keep a variety of kids\u2019 stuff.Here's what to include so that fun is a step away; balls of different sizes, blocks, skipping ropes, bubbles, horse shoes, wood or plastic puzzles, plastic golf set, croquet, a hula hoop, badminton plus other games.A separate art box kept near the backyard ready and accessible is also good for quieter activity.Include in that one; paints (always better outside), play dough, sparkle glue, stickers, markers, and paper.Paint or draw the views from the yard as memories of the summer.A children\u2019s garden is another wonderful bonus.Grow some vegetables, herbs and flowers with the kids.Section off a portion for them, get them the hoe, gloves, watering can, and enjoy the fruits of their labours.Reality science is in session during these moments especially when picking a ripe tomato right off the vine.For hot days fill a small wading pool, but keep it covered.Adults, remember to stay close by as the pool may be small but it is extremely dangerous.Sandboxes are also fun but can be a huge mess and animals tend to visit.I prefer the park for activities such as swings, bars and sand and Westmount possesses the best-equipped playgrounds.Remember that reading outdoors in pajamas is a treat.Evenings with a good bedtime story makes summer nights a special time and if you want to make it a touch better, ice cream is an excellent [TAXI ATLAS 485-8585 485-4888 Airport reservations 100% Guaranteed or your trip is free\u201c!!!
