[" (514) 725-5295 L Vol.68, No.38 - Thursday, October 9™ 2003 + (514) 484-5610 + 9,800 copies MAKING ALL OF WESTMOUNT YOUR HOME TURF MAY SHIFT EAST Martin C.Barry tarting in January, Police Station 12's territory could be extended east of Westmount into downtown Montreal, and the eastern portion of NDG would no longer be served by the Stanton Street station.ad Hg \u201cIt\u2019s not a done deal,\u201d Station 12 Commander Francois Folchitto told the Examiner last Monday.\u201cBut in the plans, what we see is that we would expand up to Guy Street.\u201d North of Sherbrooke Street, the eastern boundary of the station's territory would follow Cote des Neiges Road up to the intersection with The Boulevard.Some territory north of The Boulevard, now controlled by Station 19, would become part of the Station 12 beat.Heading south on Guy, the Ville Marie expressway would be the station\u2019s southern limit.LU \u201cIf it does go as planned, we would lose part of the Notre-Dame-de-Grace district,\u201d Folchitto added.Station 12's territory would extend no further west than Claremont Avenue.The boundary changes are part of an overall reorganization of Montreal's neighbourhood police station system, which was implemented in 1997.Before the new boundaries come into effect, public hearings will be held, and the megacity\u2019s executive committee will make the final decision.\u201cIf everything is accepted, it would probably start in January,\u201d said Folchitto.He added that he believes the new territory will improve Station 12\u2019s efficiency \u201cIt is an improvement because we are serving probably the same type of clientele,\u201d he said.With the new territory, the station\u2019s staff will increase from 29 to 47 officers.\u201cThis is the good part of the project,\u201d he said.(continued on page 3) Scoop speaks!

SKEWERS \u2018HIGH PRIESTS\u2019 BEHIND MEGACITY Martin C.Barry ontreal as a megacity is being run according to principles like those of a religious doctrine, with \u201chigh priests\u201d defending them, says former Westmount mayor Peter Trent.Addressing a noontime gathering of the Westmount Rotary Club last week, Trent said the creation of the megacity in 2001 was based on seven false myths or \u201carticles of faith\u201d which he listed: he mega-unions won\u2019t be any piBlem; - We won\u2019t catch the disease of mega-spending here; + There will be economies of scale of five per cent; + The number of bureaucrats will be reduced; « Taxes will drop for 96.7 per cent of the island\u2019s citizens; + Mega-mergers are necessary to compete internationally; + Mega-mergers will free us from the scourge of fiscal inequity.Because they are articles of faith, there must also be \u201chigh priests,\u201d two of whom Trent identified as former Montreal mayor Pierre Bourque and former PQ municipal affairs minister Louise Harel.\u201cBourque has animist beliefs,\u201d Trent said.\u201cHe says things like, \u2018Montreal needs oxygen, and \u2018Montreal is the mother of the suburbs.\u2019\u201d Harel, the \u201chigh priestess of mergers, had a more orthodox liturgy,\u201d he added.\u201cShe believed in tran- subtantiation.She thought that the messiness of all these little cities Peter Trent speaks at last week's would be transubstantiated into a uniform nirvana, and we would have sort of a New Jerusalem, a heaven on earth, by these mergers.\u201d Police map could change (continued from page 1) Folchitto acknowledged that the main reason Station 12's staff is being increased is that the downtown territory is busier and more densely populated than Westmount and will require more manpower.\u201cThat\u2019s why we're getting the officers,\u201d he said.\u201cSeeing as I have more staff, I'll be able to improve the foot patrols, problems with traffic or what have you.I'm going to have people just on traffic or people on foot patrols all the time.\u201d Asked if the downtown area is likely to differ from Westmount in terms the cases police will be dealing , Folchitto replied: \u201cNot really.Mind you, there have been a few incidents around Cabot Square that would be a bit of a change, although we are already working there some of the time.For sure it\u2019s going to add (in terms of) criminality, but it shouldn\u2019t be a problem.\u201d During the time the eastern part of NDG was one of Station 12's responsi- Team Work bilities, relatively few incidents were reported there day by day compared to the number in Westmount, because of the comparatively small size of the territory in NDG.For a time, however, before a special program was implemented, Station 12 officers had their hands full at the Vendôme métro station where unruly youths regularly caused trouble.Among the establishments in Station 12\u2019s new territory, a dance club for youths at the old Forum on Atwater Avenue, where all-night \u2018raves\u2019 are expected to be held, is starting to cause concern for residents downtown and in the eastern part of Westmount.The matter is currently being dealt with by Station 20.\u201cFor sure that\u2019s going to bring more activity, but would that be a problem?1 don\u2019t know,\u201d said Folchitto.\u201cThey have a permit, but so far they say they won't have those all-night parties, so I don\u2019t know if they're going to be having some or not.We\u2019ll have to deal with them when they occur.\u201d .A great stile is an unportint part of the anpression son make te the wohl Sou Dr, Elliot Mechame has been using state of the art dental technology and artis Not only have there been no savings from the megacity, Trent said, but the prediction made by the Poitras Report, which he and other anti- mergerists released last year, is that the minimum cost per year of running the megacity will be $200 million.The number of bureaucrats running the megacity has increased by 236 person-years, he insisted, and taxes across the island have risen by $96 million in the last two years.In Westmount alone, taxes have gone up 18 per cent, with reduced services.Trent said the former PQ government\u2019s actions creating the megacity were immoral.\u201cMorality, in my view, has to do with how you do something, not what you do\u2014because you could be wrong,\u201d he said.\u201cWhy I think what happened is immoral is because the PQ government went about it ignoring the desires of the population.They rode roughshod over our democratic rights.They knew what's best for us and they just plowed ahead and did it, and that\u2019s what I can't forgive them.As well as an economic error, it\u2019s also a democratic error.\u201d Since 1845, Trent pointed out, the norm in Quebec municipal affairs was to allow voluntary mergers, with rare exceptions such as the creation of the City of Laval.\u201cSo in my view, the megacity is not legitimate and Bill 9, by allowing us to demerge, will legitimize the megacity,\u201d he said.\u201cSo those who wish to remain, fine, they will at least be able to vote, and those of us who wish to leave will be able to vote, and therefore we\u2019ll have the crown of legitimacy placed on the megacity which it doesn\u2019t currently have.\u201d Asked when he expected that demerg- er referendums would take place, Trent predicted that by early spring 2004 registers should be open.\u201cWhether we'll have a referendum in May or June, or whether it would be only in September or October of next year, 1 don\u2019t know,\u201d he said.\u201cSo I would say the maximum time before we have a referendum will be about a year, the minimum probably about eight months.\u201d « 1079 atnlity co gue patients a \u201cSMILELEEFT\u201d for à more confident, esthetic and youiblol appearance WHY NOT LOOK YOUR BEST?CaH ous office today, 6s visit our website to

one of the most multi-culturally diverse countries in the entire world.On our doorstep lies the United Nations.For those who are new to our country, citizenship may mean everything.For the second generation and beyond, the importance of citizenship may get lost in the hectic scramble to succeed in school, at work, in life.Canadian citizenship delivers rights: equality rights: equal treatment before and under the law, and equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination; democratic rights: the right to participate in political activities, to vote and run for political office; legal rights: the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, the right to retain a lawyer and be informed of that right, and the right to an interpreter in court proceedings;

DEMERGERS Tommy Schnurmacher \u2018A ow can you tell you if a city H councillor is really against the forced merger?You might try a straightforward approach and ask 8 directly.Not a good idea.This i: method may sound sensible, but is, Ein fact, hopeless.: way you will be able to elicit anything resembling a direct response.: You will however be greeted with a ' breathtaking display of some of the .most nimble skating this side of Elvis : Stojko.The responses will be athletic, graceful and artistic.They may even be downright poetic, but they will have nothing to do with the question.Most of the councillors are skirting the issue not because they don\u2019t know the answer.They're afraid of hopping off the fence.If they even suggest they're in favor of demerger, they will thoroughly annoy mega-mayor Gérald Tremblay, who is their boss.On the other hand, if the councillors admit that they are very happy with the way things are right now, thank you very much, their local constituents might get even more annoyed with them than they are already.Most of the councillors would prefer a root canal to admitting how they really feel.They would much rather leave well enough alone.If voters are deluded enough to believe that the former mayors actually want their tatty old jobs back now they have seen City Hall in Old Montreal, so be it.What do these guys really think when there isn\u2019t a microphone around?The answer is as plain as day.Almost every last one of them is staunchly in favor of the merger and thoroughly enjoying the new gig and the salary and pension that go with it.Need proof?Pay close attention to what they actually do say.Sift through the usual twaddle about \u201cmeaningful decentralization\u201d and \u201cwaiting for more facts before they can really make up their minds on so monumental a decision .vadda yadda.\u201d They are not waiting for more facts.They are waiting for the demerger movement to fail.They are waiting for the Charest government to make the hurdles even higher than they are already.Read between the lines when they earnestly make all those dire warnings about the high costs of demerger.Watch their eyes as they insist that even if a borough manages somehow to demerge, it will never be the way it used to be.Doesn\u2019t sound like someone too enthusiastic about undoing the merger, does it?The majority of people realize the forced mergers are a dreadful idea.They can see that the main activity that has been decentralized so far has been labor strife.No need to despair.The current situation is not nearly as complicated as the councillors make it out to be and there is indeed a simple way to separate the men from the boys.The councillors honest enough and brave enough to quit Tremblay\u2019s party and sit as independents?They are the ones truly against the forced merger The ones who continue to take their orders from the pro-merger tag team of Gérald Tremblay and Pierre Bourque are discreetly doing everything they can to stop the demerger movement while they pretend that they have yet to make up their minds.Disney on Ice isn't the only place where you can sce cartoon characters skating around.«

\u201cPavilions at the McGill University Health Centre will exceed the height of an 18-storey highrise apartment block that is currently the area\u2019s tallest building, say MUHC officials.The highest tower in the MUHC\u2019s proposed Glen Yards campus would rise \u2018just a shade under 200 feet total height,\u201d Robert Hamilton, chief architect of the $1.2 billion project, revealed at a public meeting in NDG last Wednesday.According to plans unveiled earlier this year, none of the MUHC\u2019s buildings was supposed to exceed eight storeys.But as it came out during the meeting at the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex, the density of each of the MUHC\u2019s institutional storeys will be nearly 16 feet\u2014 compared to a conventional building where it is about nine feet.In fact, the highest point on the campus will be as tall as a 22-storey building\u201420 feet @ than the Château Maisonneuve apartment complex at the corner of Claremont and de Maisonneuve\u2014 dwarfing residential houses on surrounding streets and obstructing the view of Mount Royal from the south.\u201d Five Years Ago October 15, 1998 TOWNHOUSE PROJECT: \u201cIt\u2019s all over but the shouting, according to developer Jerry Winikoff, who is preparing to start construction of his long-delayed townhouse project at the foot of Victoria Avenue.On Tuesday afternoon, motorists who use the parking lot in front of the Westmount train station returned to their cars to find the lot closed and a notice on their windshields informing them they will no longer be allowed to park there.\u2018Things are coming along very well,\u2019 Winikoff said of his negotiations with the City of Westmount.So well, he said, that he expects to be issued his long-sought building permit any day.In order to meet the

It is really important to complete the course of heartworm pills.Think of them as \u2018morning after\u2019 pills, rather than preventative medicine.They work by killing any heartworm larvae that have become established in your woof\u2019s bloodstream during the last four weeks since the previous pill.They do not prevent a bite from an infected mosquito.The mosquito will have gone before the risk has.So please do give the next one or two pills! Great thanks are due to the good folk who leave plastic bags at the runs or Summit Park.Most of us carry an extra, or two, but have still been embarrassed occasionally.However, it bears remembering that these extra bags on poles or branches are a helpful courtesy, for use in unforeseen circumstances.They are not an acquired right or to be seen as a steadily renewed supply.(Yes, I have heard people whine that there were no more and hadn\u2019t been for days!) One is responsible for supplying one\u2019s own bags.And the sources are varied.From grocery stores come the regular bags, also those for veggies and fruits, or frozen food.There are soft plastic breadloaf wrappers, bags from the SAQ, new hosiery wrappers, even the Sunday Publi-Sacs left at our doors.In a pinch.Grocery stores (even Canadian Tire) will cheerfully sell an entire roll for about $8 to $12.And I think there is no guilt attached to a high consumption of plastic bags, since they will all become part of \u201creduce, reuse, recycle.\u201d Extended visual glory awaits us during the next weeks of autumn.Excite your retinal cells as well as your leg muscles and lungs with long walks and quality time with your darling.» Bridget Blackader is president of the Westmount Dog Owners Association TOP 1% ACROSS San CANADA* ROYAL PAGE REESE NINH Chartered Real Estate Broker (*Out of 8859 Agents) HERITAGE Office: 934-1818 (24 hrs) Cell: 591-0804 Home: 846-8836 - FEATURED PROPERTIES - rentre THE BOULEVARD - (comer Braeside) Superb 3-storey, CLARKE -\u201cA couple's country retreat!\u201d Turn-ofthe-cen- tury 2 bdrm det.home, ground floor den, master with beautiful ensuite, garage + 4-car parking.Asking $829,000.REDFERN - Location!
