central observances of this holiday and one children and adults wait with animation in synagogue, is hearing the sounding of the shofar, or the ram\u2019s horn.The Bible gives no specific reason for this practice but it has been suggested that the shofar\u2019s sound is a call to repentance.A total of 100 notes are sounded each day.Another popular treat during the holiday is eating apples dipped in The High Holidays are a time renewal, repentance and fresh starts.It is so apropos that the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue at 450 Kensington Ave.welcomes their new rabbi and his wife.As a newlywed from New York, Rabbi Adam Scheier is personally representative of new beginnings as he has relocated from the United States to Canada with his wife.Rabbi Scheier has been very involved with the immigrant Jewish community in Berlin, Germany and was awarded the 2003 Herbert S.Lieberman Award for his work in this field.He has also served as an Intern Rabbi in Houston, and at the Park East Synagogue on the Upper East Side of New York City.The holidays have been memorable for him, especially when he recalls his years as a young boy walking with his grandfather to synagogue.\u201cHe used to stay close by as he refused to drive and we\u2019d go together.The greatest part was always that wait for the shofar,\u201d said the rabbi.\u201cRosh Hashanah lends a hopeful feeling as it is a time of renewal.But the week between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur sets the tone for the entire year so one must make the most of those days so that a happy trend will continue.\u201d Yom Kippur, although an arduous day, is a distinctive fast in Judaism, Rabbi Scheier explained.\u201cWe stand before G-d dressed all in white to represent the purity of angels.Due to the fact that angels do not eat, we fast, so we do not indulge in the human side.Now is the absolute time of forgiveness.\u201d In his new office at the synagogue, RESTAURANT The management and staff of Chez Nick Restaurant wish all their

has experienced during his brief time in Montreal.\u201cThe clergy are part of the community family at the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue and I look forward to a new year filled with hope and possibilities in Montreal.\u201d Leaving the rabbi\u2019s office, I breathed in some of his exhilaration and as I strolled down Kensington Avenue to my car, glancing at the lush greenery our Westmount area possesses.Philosophically, I began to reflect on the personal adjustments this year has brought our family and how we had to adapt.The walk through the various stages of life can be difficult but one worth taking.Therefore, in conjunction with other Jews, I shall take the time this holiday season to give thanks, repent and anticipate new challenges.Happy Holidays! \u201cShanah Tovah.\u201d

go Noah Sidel ith the Westmount Rugby Club's future still up in the air, Borough Mayor Karin Marks would like to see the group survive\u2014but with at least one major change.After years of insufficient participation, the club was on the verge of extinction just two years ago.As a result.the club began drawing higher-than-usual and is now doing well as a member of the Quebec Rugby Federation.The low level of local participation, however, may lead to the ultimate demise of the club, which tence since 1876.\u201cOur interest is to see why they don\u2019t have more Westmount players.What makes a local institution is local participation.We want to find out if there\u2019s something we can do to encourage that, and then they can use our fields,\u201d Marks said.\u201cFor us to provide our fields for free to people who do not live in the community, there\u2019s a problem.\u201d Claiming that Westmount has one of the lowest fields-to-people ratios on the island of Montreal, Marks said there is a very high demand for very few facilities.\u201cWe did a study looking at the quality of our fields, and it showed us that we have too many people using them,\u201d Marks said.\u201cThe study came back and said we use our fields an average of 70 hours a week when they should only be used for about 20.We have a rule that says we want to provide our services to groups that have at least 80 per cent Westmount residents.If most of the players are from the community, then we are happy to accommodate them.\u201d WESTMOUNT - UN ARRONDISSEMENT SANS PESTICIDES Westmount\u2019 s rugby Ravens celebrate a victory in has been in exis- Westmount Park\u2014but may have to move elsewhere.\u201cBut something like only 22 per cent of their team comes from the area.While that would be fine if we had extra field time, we don't, so it's not.\u201d Westmount Rugby Club Vice-President Hugh McGuire hopes to work out a reasonable solution.\"The (borough) and Karin Marks have agreed to meet with us to see if we can do something.I think her position is that we need to do more to get Westmount people involved with the club.which we agree with.\u201d he said.It has now been a month since the issue first came up.and the two have yet to meet.McGuire believes his club is a valuable part of the community, even if there isn't a majority of local players.\u201cThere\u2019s been a huge turnover in rugby in general and Westmount in particular.I think we're probably lower this year than we\u2019ve been in the past, and part of that is the influx of players coming in from outside.We almost collapsed last year, and we sort of pulled it together.We're on the rise in terms of competitiveness, but we went from having almost no team to two teams in a span of two years,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s been hugely frustrating.There's a lot of time and energy put into this because it's an amateur sport and I think it provides a valuable service to Westmount and to Montreal as a whole.The organization has a positive impact on the community, and now to have this happen, it\u2019s very frustrating.We're trying to put something back into the community and they're causing us a lot of distress.\u201d For more information on the Westmount Rugby Club, visit www.westmountrugby.com.the firm as a Partner.Canadian Securities Institute.Diego and

THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER - Thursday, September 16, 2004 Ville de Montréal Arrondissement de Westmount POINTS SAILLANTS DES RÉSULTATS FINANCIERS DE 2003, PROJECTIONS POUR LES RÉSULTATS DE 2004 ET ENVELOPPES BUDGÉTAIRES POUR 2005 Chères concitoyennes, chers concitoyens, Au nom du conseil d'arrondissement, j'ai le plaisir de vous présenter la situation financière de Westmount au 31 décembre 2003, suivi d'un aperçu des prévisions de dépenses et recettes pour 2004, Finalement, vous trouverez ci-après quelques commentaires généraux sur le budget de 2005.RÉSULTATS DE FIN D'EXERCICE 2003 FONCTIONNEMENT DE L'ARRONDISSEMENT Le tableau ci-contre résume les enveloppes budgétaires de 2003 pour le fonctionnement (affectées à Westmount par le conseil de Ville de Montréal) et les résultats finals de fin d'exercice : ENVELOPPE RÉSULTATS AJUSTEMENTS RÉSULTATS ÉCART BUDGETAIRE LOCAUX FINALS FINALS 2003 Dépenses 19931500 % 19 667 600 $ 336 900 $ 20004500$ (730008) Recettes 2 341 700 $ 2 752 400 $ 0$ 2 752 400 $ 410 700 $ SURPLUS 2003 : 337 700 $ Le Service des finances de Montréal a fait plusieurs \u2018ajustements finals\u201d aux données sur les dépenses initiales soumises par l'arrondissement (\u2018résultats locaux\u201d), ajustements qui ont ajouté des coûts de 336,900 $ aux résultats « locaux » de fin d'exercice de l'arrondissement, Ces ajustements finals comprenaient, entre autres, 416 100 $ de coûts reliés à « l'équilibre budgétaire » de Montréal affectés à Westmount.Il est évident, que le surplus de fin d'année de Westmount aurait été augmenté en conséquence si cet ajustement n'avait pas été nécessaire.HYDRO WESTMOUNT En 2003, la comptabilité de l'exploitation d'Hydro Westmount s\u2019est faite séparément pour la première fois (en 2002, elle faisait partie de l'enveloppe budgétaire de l'arrondissement, ce qui a biaisé le budget de Westmount par rapport à celui d\u2019autres arrondissements de taille semblable puisque ces derniers n'offraient pas de service d'électricité), Le tableau ci-dessous présente les résultats de fin d'exercice : ENVELOPPE BUDGETAIRE 2003 RESULTATS FINALS Dépenses 20 188 400 $ 20 954 466 $ Recettes 22 752 500 $ 23 052 898 $ Profit net : 2 098 432 $ Le Service des finances de Montréal n'a fait aucun ajustement aux données de fin d'exercice d'Hydro Westmount soumises par l'arrondissement.PROGRAMME TRIENNAL D'IMMOBILISATIONS (PTI) L'enveloppe budgétaire initiale du programme triennal d\u2019immobilisations de Westmount pour 2003 était de 2 952 000 $ mais elle a été portée à 4 290 000 $ (+1 338 000 $) quand le conseil a pu obtenir cette somme supplémentaire exceptionnelle pour la remise en état du Conservatoire, un projet de 1,75 million de dollars.Au 31 août 2004, le conseil s'était engagé pour un montant total de 4 119 257 $ (74 %) de l'enveloppe budgétaire ajustée et les projets qui restent à entreprendre doivent être soumis pour autorisation avant la fin de l'année.Pour 2003, Hydro Westmount a reçu une enveloppe budgétaire de 1 300 000 $ pour des travaux d'immobilisations, dont 964 291 $ avaient été autorisés par le Conseil en août 2004 pour des améliorations au réseau.Le solde du budget sera affecté à des projets locaux additionnels avant la fin de l'exercice.EXCEDENT ACCUMULE EN 2003 Au 31 décembre 2001, l'excédent total accumulé de l'ancienne ville de Westmount était de 1 638 728 $.Pour aider-à équilibrer le budget de Montréal pour 2002, un pourcentage spécifié des excédents accumulés dans plusieurs arrondissements a fait l'objet d'un « prêt » à la ville.Dans le cas de Westmount, la somme virée est de 1 023 000 $, à rembourser par versements échelonnés égaux sur cinq ans.Les deux premiers versements auront été reversés à l'excédent de Westmount d'ici la fin de l'exercice 2004.L'arrondissement a réalisé des excédents de fonctionnement en 2002 (802 500 $) et en 2003 (337 700 $) qui ont porté le total des excédents accumulés à 2 778 928 $ en date du 31 décembre 2003.PROJECTIONS PRÉLIMINAIRES POUR 2004 Le tableau ci-dessous présente les enveloppes budgétaires autorisées pour le fonctionnement de l'arrondissement et d'Hydro Westmount en 2004 : Dépenses Recettes Arrondissement 19 960 200 $ 2 284 800 $ Hydro Westmount 21 726 400 $ 23 929 000 $ Après analyse des résultats des dépenses et des recettes du début de l'exercice jusqu'au mois de juillet, il semblerait que l'arrondissement connaîtra un excédent de fonctionnement très modeste.Toutefois, cela repose sur l'hypothèse que : 1.nous connaîtrons un enneigement « moyen » en novembre et en décembre, et 2.le Service des finances de Montréal ne nous imposera pas de coûts d'ajustement de fin d'exercice importants.En ce qui concerne Hydro Westmount.les températures en deçà de la moyenne que nous avons connues cet été devraient donner lieu à des ventes d'électricité moindres pour juin, juillet et août mais la réduction de la quantité (et du coût) d'électricité achetée d'Hydro-Québec devrait compenser la réduction des ventes.Nous | ENVELOPPES BUDGÉTAIRES DE FONCTIONNEMENT POUR 2005 | FONCTIONNEMENT DE L'ARRONDISSEMENT En juin, le conseil a été avisé que l'arrondissement disposerait d\u2019une enveloppe budgétaire pour 2005 de 21 056 800 $, soit une hausse de 1 096 600 $ (5,5 %) par rapport au budget de 2004 (19 960 200 $).Le Service des finances de Montréal a calculé que cette hausse suffirait à compenser les augmentations prévues des coûts de main-d'œuvre; les effets de l\u2019inflation et le coût de la décentralisation de certains services.Depuis juillet, les directeurs de service et le personnel des finances de Westmount ont travaillé à la comptabilisation détaillée des besoins budgétaires pour 2005 qu'il faudra satisfaire pour maintenir les niveaux de service actuels, compte tenu de toutes les pressions budgétaires engendrées par la signature de nouvelles conventions collectives (et des avantages sociaux associés), les augmentations dans les contrats d@il services, l'achat de matériaux et les coûts de la décentralisation.Une fois ce travail accompli (d'ici le 17 septembre), nous serons en mesure de vérifier si l'enveloppe budgétaire de 1,1 million de dollars suffira (ou pas) à couvrir ces nouveaux coûts.Tout manque à gagner prévu forcera le conseil d'arrondissement à faire une demande spéciale d'ajustement supplémentaire du budget.En ce qui concerne les recettes locales, on a demandé à Westmount d'augmenter les recettes de 2005 à 2 330 500 $, une hausse de 2 % par rapport aux 2 284 800 $ du budget de 2004.Là encore, l'équipe du budget de Westmount étudiera les options susceptibles de produire les 45 700 $ supplémentaires et les soumettra au Conseil pour étude.HYDRO WESTMOUNT Les enveloppes budgétaires de 2005 proposées pour Hydro Westmount sont de 21 276 400 $ pour les dépenses (y compris 17 231 900 $ pour l'achat d'électricité à Hydro-Québec) et de 23 929 000 $ pour les revenus projetés par la vente d'électricité.Ces enveloppes budgétaires sont identiques aux enveloppes adoptées en 2004.Le personnel d'Hydro Westmount élabore actuellement divers scénarios pour les dépenses et les recettes accrues en 2005.Ces scénarios reposent sur les hausses tarifaires possibles étudiées par Hydro-Québec et une plus grande consommation d'électricité par la clientèle de Westmount (appelée facteur d\u2019accroissement de la demande).Une fois finalisés, ces chiffres seront acheminés au Service des finances de Montréal, avec une demande officielle d'ajustement en conséquence des enveloppes budgétaires d'Hydro Westmount.BUDGET POUR LE PROGRAMME TRIENNAL D'IMMOBILISATIONS (PTI) DE 2005-2006-2007 PROJETS DE TRAVAUX D'IMMOBILISATIONS DE L'ARRONDISSEMENT L'enveloppe budgétaire du programme triennal d'immobitisations (PTI) pour 2005-2006-2007 a été fixée à 2 488 000 $ par année, une baisse de 464 000 $ (15,7 %) par rapport à 2004 (2 952 000 $).Cette baisse reflète en partie les conséquences de la décision de centraliser tous les projets d\u2019améliorations aux conduites de distribution et au réseau d\u2019égouts (qui représentaient 485 000 $ dans le budget des travaux d'immobilisations de Westmount pour 2004).Cette nouvelle politique exigera du directeur des Travaux publics de Westmount qu'il coordonne avec le service central la priorité à donner aux projets de remplacement des conduites de distribution et des égouts à Westmount pour éviter des retards dans le programme de reconstruction des rues au cours des trois années qui viennent.Bien que la loi exige que l\u2019arrondissement de Westmount dépose un budget triennal de travaux d'immobilisations, 2005 sera en réalité la seule année où l'enveloppe budgétaire sera établie par le Conseil de ville de Montréal.À partir de 2006, cette responsabilité incombera au conseil de la nouvelle ville de Westmount, exception faite des projets qui relèveront du conseil d'agglomération (cela comprend le remplacement des conduites de distribution et des égouts collecteurs).Ceci dit, l'administration a élaboré pour 2005-2006-2007 un programme triennal d\u2019immobilisations selon la politique d\u2019enveloppe budgétaire de 2 488 000 $ par année.Bref, les engagements de dépenses moyens de cette enveloppe budgétaire pour chacune des trois prochaines années seraient les suivants : *

OF THE 2003 FINANCIAL RESULTS, PROJECTIONS FOR 2004 RESULTS AND THE 2005 BUDGET ENVELOPES Ville de Montréal Borough of Westmount Fellow Citizens, On behalf of the Borough Council, | am pleased to present to you the results of Westmount's financiai situation as of December 31st, 2003, followed by a preview of our forecast for 2004 expenditures and revenues, and finally | will provide you with some general comments regarding the 2005 budget.2003 YEAR-END RESULTS BOROUGH OPERATIONS The 2003 operating budget envelopes (assigned to Westmount by Montreal City Council) and the final par-end results were as follows: 2003 BUDGET LOCAL FINAL FINAL VARIANCE ENVELOPE RESULTS ADJUSTMENTS RESULTS Expenditures $19,931,500 $19,667,600 $336,900 $20,004,500 ($73,000) Revenues $2,341,700 $2,752,400 $0 $2,752,400 $410,700 2003 SURPLUS: $337,700 A number of final adjustments\u2019 were made by Montreal's Finance Dept.to the borough's original expenditure data (\u2018local results\u2019) that were submitted, which added a total of $336,900 in costs to the borough's final year-end \u201clocal results\u201d.These \u2018final adjustments\u2019 included, among other things, an adjustment of $416,100 of Montreal \u201cbudget balancing\u201d costs being assessed to Westmount.Obviously, Westmount's 2003 year-end surplus would have been increased by this amount had this adjustment not been imposed HYDRO WESTMOUNT 2003 marked the first year that separate accounting was done for Hydro Westmount operations (it formed part of the \u201cBorough Budget\u201d envelope in 2002 which skewed Westmount\u2019s budget as compared to those of other comparably-sized boroughs since they did not operate such a utility).Year-end results were as follows: 2003 BUDGET FINAL ENVELOPE RESULTS Expenditures $20,188,400 $20,954,466 Revenues $22,752,500 $23,052,898 Net Profit : $2,098,432 No adjustments were made by Montreal\u2019s Finance Dept.to the year-end Hydro Westmount data submitted by the borough.CAPITAL WORKS Westmount's original 2003 capital works budget envelope was $2,952,000, but this was increased to $4,290,000 (+$1,338,000) when Council succeeded in obtaining this additional one-time amount for the $1.75 million project for the refurbishing of the Conservatory.As of August 31st, 2004, a total of $4,119,257 (96%) of the adjusted budget envelope has been committed by Council, with the balance of projects not yet initiated to be submitted for approval before the end of the year.Hydro Westmount was given a 2003 capital works budget envelope of $1,300,000, of which $964,291 (74%) for utility network improvements has been approved by Council as of August 2004.The balance of the budget will be committed for additional local projects before year end.2003 ACCUMULATED SURPLUS As of December 31st, 2001, the total accumulated surplus of the former City of Westmount was $1,638,728.To help balance the total 2002 Montreal budget, a specified percentage of the accumulat- surpluses from a number of boroughs was \u201cloaned\u201d to the city.In Westmount's case, an amount of E 023,000 was transferred, to be repaid over 5 years in equal installments.The first two of such payments will be back in Westmount's surplus by year-end 2004.The borough realized operating surpluses in both 2002 ($802,500) and 2003 ($337,700), which increased the total accumulated surplus to $2,778,928 as of December 31st, 2003.PRELIMINARY PROJECTIONS FOR 2004 The budget envelopes approved for both 2004 Borough and Hydro Westmount operations are as follows: Expenditures Revenues Borough $19,960,200 $2,284,800 Hydro Westmount $21,726,400 $23,929,000 Having analyzed July year-to-date expenditure and revenue results, it would appear that the borough will experience a very modest operating surplus.However, this is based on the assumption that: 1.we will experience an \u201caverage\u201d level of snowfall in November and December; and 2.no significant \u201cyear-end adjustment\u201d costs will be assessed by the Montréal Finance Department.As for Hydro Westmount, the cooler-than-average temperatures this summer is expected to result in reduced sales of electricity in June, July and August, but this will be offset by a reduction in the amount (and cost) of power purchased from Hydro Quebec.We are therefore confident that the net profit for 2004 will still be in the range of $2.6 million.| 2005 OPERATING BUDGET ENVELOPES | BOROUGH OPERATIONS In June, Council was advised that the 2005 borough budget envelope would be $21,056,800, an increase of $1.096,600 (5.5%) over the 2004 budget ($19,960,200).This increase was calculated by the Montreal Finance Dept.as being sufficient to offset projected increases in labour costs, the effects of inflation and the cost of decentralizing certain services.Since July, Westmount\u2019s department directors and finance personnel have been working on preparing a detailed accounting of our budget needs for 2005 that will maintain current service levels while taking into account all known budget pressures that will be created by the signing of new collective agreements (and related fringe benefits), increases in services contracts and purchase of materials and the costs of decentralization.Once this work is completed (by September 17th), we will be able to validate if the proposed 2005 $1.1 million budget envelope adjustment will be sufficient (or not) to cover these new costs.Any projected shortfall will result in the Borough Council having to make a special request for an additional budget adjustment.As for local revenues, Westmount has been requested to increase revenues in 2005 to $2,330,500, a 2% increase over the 2004 budget of $2,284,800.Again, Westmount's Budget Team will assess the options that will generate the extra $45,700 for Council's consideration.HYDRO WESTMOUNT The 2005 budget envelopes proposed for Hydro Westmount are $21,276,400 for expenditures (which includes $17,231,900 for the purchase of power from Hydro Quebec) and $23,929,000 for the projected revenues from the sale of electricity.These budget envelopes are the same as those adopted in 2004.Hydro Westmount staff are currently preparing various scenarios for both increased expenditures and revenues in 2005.These scenarios are based on possible rate increases being considered by Hydro Quebec plus increased consumption of electricity by Westmount customers (which is referred to as \"load-growth factor\u201d).Once these numbers are finalized, they will be forwarded to the Montreal Finance Dept.with a formal request that Hydro Westmount\u2019s budget envelopes be adjusted accordingly.2005-2006-2007 CAPITAL WORKS BUDGET BOROUGH CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS The envelope for the 2005-2006-2007 capital works budget has been set at $2,488,000 for each year, a reduction of $464,000 (15.7%) from 2004 ($2,952,000).This reduction reflects in part the impact of the decision to centralize all water main and sewer system improvement projects (which represented $485,000 in Westmount's 2004 capital works budget).This new policy will require Westmount's Director of Public Works to coordinate with the central service the priority to be given to water main and sewer replacement projects in Westmount to avoid delays in our proposed street reconstruction program over the next 3 years.While the Borough of Westmount is required by law to file a 3-year capital works budget, the reality is that 2005 will be the only year that the budget envelope will be established by Montreal City Council.From 2006 onwards, this responsibility will fall on the shoulders of the new City of Westmount Council, with the exception of those projects that will be under the jurisdiction of the Agglomeration Council (which includes water main and collector sewer replacement).This being said, administration has prepared a 2005-2006-2007 capital works programme as per the budget envelope policy of $2,488,000 per year.In summary, the average allocation of this budget envelope in each of the following three years would be as follows: + Building Improvements $400,000 * Road Reconstruction & repairs $1,438,000 * Parks Improvements $300,000 » Vehicle Replacement $260,000 * Information Systems $90,000 Total : $2,488,000 HYDRO WESTMOUNT The budget envelope for Hydro Westmount's 2005-2006-2007 capital works programme has been set at $1,300,000 per year, the same budget as in 2004.The general orientation of Hydro's 3-year programme focuses on the continued upgrading of the electrical distribution network to further improve the reliability of the system and reduce the risk of power outages.In each of the next three years, the $1.3 million will be allocated roughly as follows: * Above-ground infrastructure upgrading $300,000 * Underground infrastructure upgrading $200,000 * Substation equipment upgrading $160,000 * Power transformer replacement $300,000 » System automation improvements $60,000 * Hydrocarbon pumping programme $180,000 * Vehicle replacement $50,000 * Traffic/street light improvements $50,000 Total : $1,300,000 TRANSACTIONS EXCEEDING $25,000 Also, as required by law, | am tabling the list of all contracts involving an expenditure exceeding $25,000, from October 1, 2003 to July 31, 2004, including those involving an expenditure exceeding $2,000 with the same contracting party, if those contracts involve a total expenditure exceeding $25,000.Presented by: Mayor Karin Marks September 7, 2004 22485 61 a6@g - +007 ol

from page 20) On one hand, their kids need healthy lunches that provide them with the vitamins and nutrients their quickly-growing bodies need.On the other hand, these lunches need to be eaten to do any good.How can you give your kids something they\u2019ll want while ensuring they get what they need?Above all, prepare well-bal- anced meals that include all four food groups.Then try to accommodate your children\u2019s particular tastes.Planning lunches in advance can also help ensure they get tasty, healthy lunches all week long.arents often underestimate the portance of lunchboxes when it comes to ensuring healthy meals.Regardless of whose photo is on the cover, a lunchbox should be sturdy and spacious, as well as both easy to open and carry.Above all, it needs to be germ-free.To prevent bacteria from forming, make sure the lunchbox is kept at an appropriate temperature.For example, keep cold food cold with an Ice-Pak or pre-chilled thermos.Washing the lunchbox and thermos each day will also keep bacteria at bay.A bit of baking soda will also do a great job of eliminating unappetizing odours.or all ages and all levels Not all kids manage to eat enough during their meals, so adding a mid- morning and mid-afternoon snack to their lunchbox can help keep their energy levels at adequate levels throughout the day.Snacks should be tasty, but they should also be nutritious and easy to eat when outside and on the run.Stay away from very sweet or salty snacks.There\u2019s nothing new about kids swapping lunches, but today there are more and more children with serious food allergies.Even if your kids can eat everything, their best friends may not.Find out if any other children at their school are allergic to peanuts, nuts or other types of food.If so, never put these foods in your child\u2019s lunchbox.It's much better to be safe than sorry.Home or Studio lessons Forallages À Popular & Classical music RCM Exam Preparation (514) 487-7634 Susanne Evans,
