lending a hand is the Tag Teen Centre.If Westmounters who spend a | lot of time at the arena with their own kids have been seeing a young woman recently pushing a trolley loaded with hockey skates, pads, pants, jerseys and other going about her good work.Cundill, 30, a geographer who experienced the isolation of northern Canada while working there, knew there were kids there eager to play hockey but lacking in equipment\u2014 even though there are arenas.\u201cSome of the trouble with getting the kids to play hockey is that no one\u2019s really got equipment\u2014and the economy\u2019s pretty depressed,\u201d she said.\u201cA lot of people there are living on social assistance and the birth rate is really high.Being able to buy equipment for TAG Teen Ce LT a one child, let alone three or four, is nearly impossible.\u201d Life is pretty dull up north, according to Cundill, which results in some serious problems.\u201cThey\u2019re dealing with a lot of social difficulties\u2014a lot of sniffing, a lot of boredom, a high suicide rate, elevated high-school dropout rate, early pregnancies.The idea was just to get kids to stop being bored, give them a reason to have fun, give them an environment where they get to grow as kids.They get to build character.\u2019 DRESSMAKER ANGELA Fast, Efficient service .Alterations for the entire family Specialists in Evening and Bridal Wear Silks

Play It Again Sports on Decarie Boulevard # just below Sherbrooke Street.The donated equipment is lent out to the hockey players for each game, rather than given to them on a permanent basis.\u201cIt\u2019s the community\u2019s 4 equipment,\u201d said Cundill.In a typical year, $40,000 { worth of equipment is collected.This year, Cundill has selected the Association of Montreal Inuit (AMI) as the recipient.AMI will deliver all collected equipment to various Inuit communities in Northern Quebec by Sea Lift, a cargo ship that annually delivers bulk goods to northern communities.Jared MacSween, director of the Tag Teen Centre, said that after watching Cundill picking up equipment over the past few years, he decided it was time he and the teens got involved.\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of work for one person to do and I figured it\u2019s a good opportunity for the teen centre to get involved,\u201d MacSween said.\u201cThe whole concept of kids helping kids out I really believe in.\u201d Cundill added that Game On and the teen centre share a similar philosophy.\u201cIt\u2019s when there\u2019s boredom that kids get into trouble,\u201d she said.Halloween contest was bigger and better Westmount\u2019s annual Halloween house decorating contest was a great success once again, as an increasing number of local homes are being transformed into ghoulish delights for trick- or-treaters.\u201cIt is getting to be more of a special event for the community,\u201d said Westmount Public Security Director Richard McEnroe, whose officers were out in full force last Thursday evening to ensure the safety of local kids.\u201cMore and more people are participating every year.\u201d Judging the decorated houses were McEnroe, borough councillor

thanks for your help and friendship\u201d N.& M.40337815 Russia Fire station sale could benefit megacity\u2014not Westmount Martin C.Barry he Borough of Westmount is trying to find a buyer for its Fire Station No.2, although what happens to the proceeds remains uncertain.While the Centre City has given its permission, borough president Karin Marks said there are currently no serious proposals.Westmount had previously been offered $650,000 for the unused fire station at Victoria Avenue and The Boulevard.\u201cWe are interested in finding out at the Centre City is planning in rms of where those funds will go if it does get sold,\u201d Marks said.\u201cThese days, with the amounts our budgets are being cut, that\u2019s very significant.\u201d Marks explained that in the original law creating the megacity, all buildings of the merged municipalities became the property of the new city.But there was no provision made for any money from the buildings\u2019 sale to remain with the boroughs.\u201cI think it became abundantly clear to the executive committee that there\u2019s no reason for anybody in the boroughs to sell any properties, no reason for them to develop any properties, if there\u2019s absolutely no benefit for the borough,\u201d she said.\u201cThere are costs entailed on the part of the borough, and if there\u2019s absolutely no benefit for the borough, it becomes questionable.Why would we rush to do that?It certainly seems only fair that it\u2019s a building that belonged to the City of Westmount, and it certainly seems only fair that the proceeds should stay in the borough.\u201d Marks said Montreal\u2019s executive committee has decided to study the question and look at providing incentives for the boroughs to manage their own property portfolios.In Westmount\u2019s case, however, there are relatively few properties in question\u2014 compared to other boroughs like St.Laurent, which owns a large real- estate portfolio.Three years ago, real estate developer Aaron Gelber hoped to purchase and include Fire Station No.2 in a seniors\u2019 residence he was planning to build on The Boulevard just west of Victoria.He came close to closing the deal but called it off when nearby residents objected to the project and signed a public register demanding a referendum on the necessary zoning change.Although vacant for years, Fire Station No.2 is currently zoned as a single family dwelling, or for the development of a maximum of three individual condominium units.The borough council has promised that its present zoning status will not change.Besides the most recent attempt to sell Fire Station No.2, Westmount also tried to sell it in 1991.According to an borough-compiled inventory of buildings known to contain asbestos, there are unspecified amounts of the potentially hazardous substance in Fire Station No.2\u2014although there are currently no plans to remove it.Council nixes spot rezoning for body shop Martin C.Barry he owner of a Somerville Avenue auto I repair shop who wants to sell his holdings and retire has been told that an exception to Westmount'\u2019s zoning bylaws cannot be made because of a longstanding policy against spot rezoning.Albert Darmo told the council last Monday evening that he has run Darmo Auto since 1950.Darmo, whose property is located in a low-density residential area in the Victoria Village sector, has been trying for several years to have it rezoned for higher-density development so that potential builders of multi-unit condominium projects might become interested.With the area\u2019s current zoning, only a smaller housing project involving two-storey duplexes would be allowed.Darmo has received an offer from a major commercial establishment on Victoria Avenue which thought of converting his property into a parking lot.Darmo said he\u2019d be satisfied if council would rezone his garage for another commercial use not involving changes to his building.He said that his neighbours are not happy with his property\u2019s current use as a garage and are anxious to see it converted to another purpose.\u201cConsidering that I've spoken with all the people in this area, nobody's against rezoning my property for something like that,\u201d he said.\u201cPeople don\u2019t want a residence built too high, they don\u2019t want the garage there anymore, some people don\u2019t want parking.But I think this last idea would be a compromise.\u201d Darmo claimed that as presently zoned, he would never get a decent amount for his property.\u201cI wouldn't say it\u2019s worthless, but it would lose 50 per cent of its value allowing a developer to put two duplexes on there and not utilizing the rest of the property.This property is part of my retire- ent income and I'm afraid I just can\u2019t afford at.\u201d Borough president Karin Marks told Darmo that a use change for a property requires rezoning of a complete zone.Otherwise it would be spot-zon- ing, \u2018and we do not do spot-zoning in Westmount,\u201d she said.\u201cWe don\u2019t do it for anybody.\u201d Marks pointed out that Darmo\u2019s garage is located in an area zoned for residential use.934- 1818 http://www.royallepage.ca westmount1@royallepage.ca 40336919 bis REALTOR 4 Westmount Square, suite 110 Albert Darmo at last Monday's borough council meeting \u201cYou're there by exception,\u201d she said, noting that Darmo has an acquired right to run a garage in the zone.\u201cThe zone has been residential for many years, and as long as you are there you have aright to remain there.And if you sold it to a body shop you have a right to do that.But other than that, it is a residential zone.\u201d Marks said that some residents expressed reservations about Darmo\u2019s property being used for parking, especially as council took measures to enhance the zone\u2019s residential character.She added that the Architecture and Planning Commission had gone out of its way examining Darmo\u2019s case because of the circumstances.\u201cIt\u2019s not something we normally do \u2014have the commission actually physically work out what would be the maximum use of a property,\u201d she told Darmo.\u201cBut because we realized you had a difficult situation there, they tried to do that.\u201cI think we all know that right now Westmount is a very attractive place for people looking for property and looking to build, and there is an opportunity to go in there and to have a nice-sized lot,\u201d said Marks.\u201cBut unless we were to spot-zone, we would have to change things for everybody in the area.\u201d ROYAL LEPAGE Imm HERITAGE Courtier immobilier agréé Franchise indépendante et autonome de Royal LePage EN IN WESTMOUNT SINCE 514.939.9927 FAX 039.5717

raise funds for their favourite cause and recognize the outstanding community contributions of Westmounter Lorne Webster.\u201cHe represents what all people should aspire to be,\u201d gala co-organizer Ginger Petty said of Webster.\u201cHe\u2019s an inspiration.\u201d During the $150-per-person cocktail gala and live auction, Webster was presented with a plaque which will be displayed above the entrance of a hall at the Action Centre bearing his name.The Lorne Webster Community Hall, Petty said, is a way for Westmounters to show their appreciation for Webster's philanthropy.For decades, Webster has been known for his hands- @ service to the community.He served as president of e Old Brewery Mission soup kitchen for 20 years, and was one of the key players in building the Patricia McKenzie Pavilion women\u2019s shelter, a wing of the Old Brewery Mission.\u201cHe wasn\u2019t just organizing it, he was doing the work personally,\u201d Petty said.A perfect example of Webster's selflessness, she said, occurred one Christmas Eve when she was out buying a last-minute present and discovered Webster on the street talking to a homeless man, trying to persuade him to go to the Brewery Mission for some food and shelter.\u201cAfterwards, when I came out of the shop, he was talking to another homeless man,\u201d Petty recalled.\u201cHe was away from his family and his Westmount house on Christmas Eve to help people in need.\u201d Opened in Ville LaSalle in 1998, the Action Centre caters to severely disabled people of all ages.It is Montreal's only bilingual drop-in centre for physically disabled people, and its survival is integral to the community.However, without government aid to keep the Action Centre running, it is at the mercy of private donations.The centre was under the threat of being closed due to the lack of funds, but the roughly 170 people who attended last week's gala managed to raise $58,000\u2014which will keep the centre open at least until June.About 80 per cent of the 150 members who use the facilities \u201clive in poverty and have no place to go,\u201d Petty said, emphasizing that the centre improves their quality of life and provides a place for them to interact with other people.\u201cWithout the centre, these people end up being alone,\u201d said Kevin Harrison, the fundraising coordinator.\u201cThey are prevented from working and going to school because of their disability, so opportunity to march with dignity and pride.Fundraising for the Action Centre is ongoing.Contributions can be made by sending a cheque to

ACPSINY] - WODISUWEXSIUNOUNSEM MMM - YINHNVXZ INNONULSIM 3HL A year of non-conformity t has now been a year since the island-wide munic- fi election rocked the local political landscape, establishing a new face at the top of the megacity slag heap and relegating an overconfident incumbent mayor to the cheap seats in Montreal City Hall.Though most Westmounters were dead set against an election taking place at all, the results of last Wayne Larsen Nou à brought at least some good e-mail: larsenw@transcontinental.ca news, as the vast majority of those who voted did so in favour of the three popular city councillors who ran as like-minded non-conformists on the independent ticket.And once the proverbial dust had settled, the message from this community was clear\u2014Westmounters would have no part of being merged with Montreal, and if forced to they would be have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the megacity fold.This, of course, they have continued to do with great relish, and for the past year Westmount has grown used to .its uneasy role as the island\u2019s primary malcontent.Westmount is no longer seen as Montreal's conservative bastion of wealth and sensibility, but rather its enfant terrible\u2014the spoiled brat that refuses to share its expensive toys because it doesn\u2019t like the way the game is going.This may provide ample fodder for editorial cartoonists, as the very idea of having a mayor-in-exile and borough councillors who don\u2019t believe in the borough are definitely absurd, but for Westmounters it remains no laughing matter\u2014far beyond a possible compromise in quality service at the library or an overcrowded municipal pool on the hottest summer days.Westmount has faced this public-relations crisis with admirable mettle, and will no doubt continue to do so.Non-conformity may have been celebrated in the 19th- century world of Emerson and Thoreau, but in 21st- century Westmount it has become an unpleasant fact of life.This is especially true now, as even more authority is being assumed by the centre city despite Mayor Tremblay\u2019s election promises to the contrary last year.How ABouT

WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - www.westmountexaminer.com - Thursday, November 7, 2002 The following is a letter to residents from borough president Karin Marks and borough councillors Cynthia Lulham and John de Castell on the first anniversary of their election: Dear fellow-resident, A year has passed since we were elected to represent Westmounters in the new municipal administration.At the time we ran as independents, highlighting our strong opposition to Bill 170.We, like the majority of Westmounters, still believe the forced merger was a mistake.In the interim, our mandate is to ensure your interests are promoted within the new municipal structure.We continue to be concerned about the impact\u2014mainly negative\u2014that the merger is having on Westmount residents.We want to bring you up to date on some of the changes that have occurred and those that seem to be on the horizon.With this in mind, we thought it would be helpful to provide you with an overview of the repercussions of the changes on the different areas and functions that used to come under the purview of the former City of Westmount.Fire On the positive side, we have wit- néssed the same or better response times to fire alarms.On the other hand, the first responder system is under review: we no longer control fire inspections; and fire prevention week, an important locally run awareness builder of fire safety issues, was barely attended to.Public Security For the time being nothing has changed.À committee.however, is now deliberating on the fate of our public security forces.Due to the fact that some boroughs have a force and some don\u2019t, it has become a contentious issue.While we have taken the lead on developing a joint dispatching system with several other boroughs, there has been no indication that the economies of scale which might result from our operating such a service would in any way be shared with the boroughs.All the savings would go into the City\u2019s pocket.As a result, here as in many other issues, there is no financial incentive for neighbouring boroughs to work together.Building and Planning With the help of our Architectural and Planning Committee, we are still actively reviewing projects.Those projects over 25,000 square feet in size have the option of being reviewed by the center city.This means we maintain our jurisdiction over renovations, new house construction and projects like Selwyn House School, the expansion of Marché Metro and new condos on Victoria and Ste.Catherine.As a result, Westmounters are able to have their say through borough council meetings, public consultations, demolition committee hearings, and if required, referenda.Larger projects, like the McGill University Health Centre, come under the purview of the City of Montreal.These are reviewed behind closed doors by the center city Comité Consultatif d\u2019urbanisme and then submitted to the Bureau de Consultation for public hearings.Citizens may attend and be heard at these but they are not held locally and are a much more formal entity than our local consultations.The final step in the process is for the Executive Committee to review the project anf come to a decision.° No registry.No referendum.Limited public involvement.(continued on page 9) Examiner 245 Victoria Ave., Suite 10 Westmount (Québec) H3Z 2M6 Canadian dus Jourreux amr Newspapers

worked.The hapless father, who had never ven married the girl\u2019s mother, has just been ordered to pay his daughter $700 a month while she cheerfully pursues her higher education at the University of Alberta.Alberta Court of Queen Bench Justice Jack Watson granted her the cash\u2014 retroactive to last year.The politically correct judge had come to the preposterous conclusion that students are \u201cunable to work\u201d and go to school at the same time.Parents who stay married, of course, are under no legal obligation to pay for their children\u2019s university education.Any divorced father, however, is open season.That\u2019s just one tiny example of how men have become the victims of institutionalized discrimination, but the double standards are everywhere.When Paula Yates drowned her five children, she was depicted as a victim with serious mental problems.No one blamed all women.When deranged killer Marc Lepine murdered 14 women at the Polytechnique, there was no discussion of his mental condition and all men were deemed responsible.Men are criminalized as a class.When police arrive on the scene of a domestic squabble, there is never a presumption of innocence for the man.The police will often arrest the \u201cbigger\u201d person without a shred of evidence.When a father misses out on a support payment, he is immediately dubbed a deadbeat dad, but there are no sanctions against a wife who denies her husband his right to spend time with his own children.Those who think women are incapable of violence are wrong.Just check out www.dadsusa.com where you will discover some startling statistics in a report by Walter H.Scheider and Candis McLean.They note that \u201cof 1,262 American children murdered in families in 1996, women murdered 984 and men murdered 278; biological mothers murdered 768, biological fathers murdered 30.\u201d Disdain for men is rampant.If you won't take my word for it.make a point of reading Spreading Misandry: The Teaching of Contempt for Men in Popular Culture by Paul Nathanson and McGill University professor Katherine K.Young.It's an eye-opening book that does a spectacular job explaining how society routinely depicts men as evil or inadequate or both.The co-authors insist that such stereotyping of men will have \u201cdisastrous consequences\u201d and they are absolutely right.While you're at it, pick up a copy of Women Can\u2019t Hear What Men Don't Say by Warren Farrell, an Oprah Winfrey regular who once served on the board of directors of the New York chapter of the National Organization for Women.Farrell's book points out beyond any reasonable doubt that women do not have a monopoly on victimhood.Hundred of books have been written on the subjects of misogyuy and male chauvinism.Misandry, however, is merely the hatred of men.The number of books on that subject can be counted on the fingers of one hand.We do need and we do have shelters for abused women and children.We even have shelters for dogs and cats, but there are hardly any shelters for male victims of domestic abuse.That's not unfair.That's a crying shame.« Tommy Schnurmacher is heard weeh- davs 9 a.m.to noon on CJAD 800 Radio.His

1 am a smooth man,\u2019).Bennett may have brought about the end of that style of ministry for all time.There were a couple of Christmas songs I didn\u2019t know.One was in French, and one was of

time.You could fill in your name and address, if you wanted the church to mail you a tax receipt, thus rendering unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, etc.1 put a bill in the envelope, and replaced the envelope on the shelf, next to the hymn book, awaiting the collection plate.This turned out to be a mistake, because of an innovation in the service.The congregation was unexpectedly invited to file out of the pews, take a candle from a waiting usher, and stand in a large circle inside the church.Then, while the electric lights were turned off, we all lit our candles (Continued on page 8) parlons

November 11, from coast to coast, is a day that gives Canadians time for pause.Indeed, it's a day that gives us all an opportunity to reflect on Canada\u2019s history, as well as what Canada is, and stands for in the world today.Above all, it is an occasion to think about the valiant men and women who sacrificed their lives in the interest of their country - our country On Remembrance Day, we think about the more than 1.5 million Canadians who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939- 1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953).We recognize the more than 100,000 soldiers who died, and the enormous sacrifices made by their fami- Home and Pet Sitting Service 40337811 MANOR MINDER, Ave you: Vacationing?Travelling on Business?Unexpected absences?We will: Check your home regularly « Water your plants Give it a lived-in look * Care for your pets (no dogs please) Experienced and Fully insured Myma Park 514-486-5565 manor_minder@hotmail.com lies - families split apart by war and tragedy.We also OPINION Honouring distinguished Westmounters with the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal think about the men and women who have sacrificed their Lives in the service of peace in such faraway places as Bosnia, and those who continue to defend our country and our interests today.At the same time, we recognize the significance of what it is they have fought for, namely the values, freedoms and way of life that we cherish and are privileged to enjoy today This includes the liberties that we take for granted, our ability to actively participate in political, social and cultural life in Canada, and the rights that protect us - all embodied in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which governs our everyday lives.As Canadians, we remember those who gave their lives for us by wearing poppies - the flower of remembrance.We recall the poem In Flanders Fields, written by Lieutenant Colonel John McRae - a Canadian - during the second battle of Ypres, in the spring of 1915.We take part in Remembrance Day services and activities in our local communities.This includes observing two minutes of silence, which offers each and every one of us the chance to reflect privately on peace, and the forces that have shaped our country\u2019s great history.As for myself, I will be attending next Sunday\u2019s Commemoration Service at War Memorial, in Westmount.Physiotherapist Telephone 514-483-2285 Rehabilitation Services Consulting Service de consultant en réadaptation Home care / soins a domicile Arlene Alter ssc.» Treatment specialist for: Respiratory Disease ¢ Cancer and Palliative Care Mobility Problems with Seniors alter2@sympatico.ca 40337827 Le Barat Rare 2 storey condo, grand circular staircase, C/A, 3 bdrms, 2 1/2 baths, corner unit large windows, garage.Most desirable location.Very well kept building with doorman.Dec.occupancy, must be sold $479,000.Suttsle Elizabeth Ross 933-5800 40337224 and garden.A must see.$319,000.DONNA HINCHCLIFF Affiliated Real Estate Agent RE/MAX Westmount Inc.Independently owned and operated [Offs 933-6781 Res: 489-3472 THIS WEEK'S FEATURE PRESENTATIONS: 4100 Cote-des-Neiges #12 Condo townhouse New on the market!!!

Anything with garlic is heaven\u2014and garlic helps repell fleas and summer insects.A cold day will be much improved with a handful of hot oatmeal.The idea that we\u2019re all eating the same thing has enormous attraction for most woofs.There are two keys to all of this.One is that any extras are presented in the dog\u2019s bowl, at the dog's mealtime.Otherwise, you risk accusatory or mournful eyes staring you down throughout your meal! The other is, that meals with or without extras, should not exceed usual amounts.The more goodies you add, the less kibble should accompany them.The great plus is that you will have noticed we can eat all of this stuff too! So there is no particular need to make special or substantially different stuff for the dog.And, once you have started regularly adding nummy-wums, not every meal requires them.A plain kibble with water and herbs meal will become its own taste treat.If you wish to prepare extras in bulk (up to one half the regular kibble meal can be substituted with home-cooking), do so in bulk once a week or so, freezing it in bags of 2-4 servings.A good generic base is: brown rice, or brown rice and pot/pear] barley, or brown rice and spinach noodles.With this as about 1/3 the total, add about 1/3 as shredded or cubed meat or fish (thawed, fresh, tinned and drained are all OK).Complete the dish with about 1/3 veggies or fruit.Change tastes between weeks with different herbs, garlic or pesto, tomato juice, mustards etc.® À favourite in our household is \u2018Pemmican: In a large pot, half cook one cup each brown rice and barley.Add 3/4-1 1b lean ground beef and continue cooking, breaking up meat.Add 1 chopped apple and 1/2 tin drained cherries or 1/2 packet cranberries to final few minutes of cooking.Drain just enough to keep it moist.Add black pepper and lots of parsley.Mix and bag and freeze.Sunflower or pumpkin seeds or some chopped nuts make an exquisite meal.So there you have it.Food and love are such great companions, eh?Bridget Blackader is president of the Westmount Dog Owners Association. sos =o = @7> Interior / Exterior Pointing Plasiering T FREE ESTIMATES 20 yrs exp.Call PETER (514)779-1126» (450)668-7909 Cabinet moking/ aD furniture stripping A-1 FURNITURE STRIPPING, refinishing.Custom designs.Repairs.Good prices.Marvin (514)487-9019 NOUVELLE clinique, excellent massage par chinoise, a/c, assu- ances.reçus.Engageons (S1a170- -8511 let\u2019s find a sol Free consultation.Bill Hafner Trustee in Bankruptcy.(514)983-8700 DD Hiscshoneous employment BE a successful writer with our great home-study course Send for the free book tant explains it all.1-800-2667-1829 www.qualityofcourse.com Quality of Course, Ottawa, Don't like surprises% Have you ever experienced an involountary or uncontrollable loss of urine (wetting accident)?If you answered yes, Lou may have overactive bladder.Talk to your doctor or call 1-877-225-2333 for more information FULL time or part time.Local company has 43 positions available to be filled by November 10th, great pay.No experience necessary.Will train.(514)369-5809 www.workforstudents.com GAGNEZ 200$/ 300$/ 500$ ou plus par semaine en assemblant nos différents produits à la maison Aucune expérience nécessaire Infos.Envoyez enveloppe pré- adressée à: STACEYCRAFT 3-1750 The Queensway Suite 1238, Rel.177 Toronto, Ontario, M9C 5H5 NEED a computer.Don't have cash?The original IBM PC, just $1 a day.no money down.The buck a day company.Call 1-800-666-3547 www.buckaday.com PREPOSE au lave-auto.Place Alexis-Nihon temps plein.(514)931-3900 RECONNECT your phone!
