calls an \u201cenormous waste\u201d of paper.\u201c1 received a Yellow Pages book yesterday on my front balcony, and it\u2019s the third one I've gotten in as many months,\u201d she said.\u201cThere are many different companies putting them out, and the apartment building next to me got 12.Here we are trying to be a sustainable city and they're able to distribute these without any permit.They sit outside the apartment buildings and then end up in people\u2019s blue boxes.What an enormous waste.\u201d Lulham, who has attended many Federation of Canadian Municipalities meetings over the years as Westmount city council\u2019s delegate, said she made a motion to the FCM.\u201cBack when these were part of Bell Canada, they received the ability to distribute them door to door, both the phone book and the Yellow Pages,\u201d she said.Lulham contacted the Yellow Pages and was told they now have a list of where residents can ask to not have Bell phone books delivered to their homes, although this doesn\u2019t affect directories delivered by other companies.\u201cIf you don\u2019t want the Bell Yellow Pages, you can go on their web site and you can ask not to have it delivered Lulham said.\u201cYou have to do it each 0 however, which I find a bit ridiculous.So we are hoping the Federation of Canadian Municipalities will step in.But it\u2019s such a waste of a resource and many people, including myself, use a computer.I think those who want it should be able to get it, but if you don\u2019t want it you should be able not to get it.\u201d Police warn of pickpocket with new

help from strangers if they find themselves splashed with a similar lig- uid.They should walk into a nearby store, if possible, to clean up.They also recommend being careful and aware of surroundings when withdrawing money at the bank.Opdam says the pickpockets will keep using the same tactic if they're successful.Police are looking for a white man in his 40s who was wearing dark-coloured clothing

LOCAL NEWS \u2014 Council considers gun control resolution Martin ©.Barry ayor Peter Trent is not ruling M out the possibility that city council may pass a resolution pressing support for the federal government to further tighten gun control legislation.Last Monday evening during council's first public meeting since the municipal elections, Trent was asked during question period by Roger Jochym of Lewis Avenue whether Westmount would follow the example of Montreal city council, which plans to pass such a resolution.Jochym said Westmount should \u201curge the tederal government to further tighten the regulations so that the possibility of guns being used to kill, wound and maim innocent people continues to constantly be reduced, as it has this past 10 years.\u201cI would suggest this be done to commemorate the life of Anastasia De Sousa,\u201d he added, referring to the 18-year- old De Sousa, who was shot and killed during a shooting rampage at Dawson College three years ago, in which 19 others were injured, some seriously.Trent said that after the Polytechnique murders in 1989, he became involved with the gun control movement.One of its strongest proponents was Heidi Rathjen, who had been a student at the University of Montreal's École polytechnique, where 14 women were shot to death.\u201c1 made a number of speeches, wrote a lot of articles and supported her in any way, shape or form,\u201d Trent said.\"So I'm very much in favour of gun control.As for this Mayor Peter Trent: Strong support for gun control.Photo: Marin \u20ac Barrs particular issue, certainly council has to take a look at it.We are nine people, l\u2019m just one, But my past record has been one of being very strongly in favour of gun control.\u201d Bike Martin CL Barry The City of Westmount may follow through on a suggestion that its bicycle path along de Maisonneuve Boulevard be kept open throughout the year, like bike paths in the City of Montreal, rather than being closed during the winter.\u201cCertainly in principle and at first blush the idea of having a four-season bike path makes sense,\u201d Mayor Peter Trent said when EN a Pour la quatrième année de suite.vous êtes Invités à assister à une soirée causerie portant sur le patrimoine architectural de la Ville de Westmount.Le mardi 1\u201d decembre a 19 h Faites des recherches sur votre maison David Hanna ; Professeur de geographie urbaine, UQAM Quand la maison a-t-elle été construite ?Par qui ?Comment découvrir l'histoire de votre maison, notamment en consultant les archives de Westmount.~ Cette causerie aura lieu à la Bibliothèque de \\Vestmount (4574, rue Sherbrooke O.).Disponible a i Hote!

Just look it up on the Internet!\u201d the class's token wiseass called out.\u201cGoogle the guy!\u201d It was funny, but of course to him and his classmates the very idea of a phonebook 1s so outdated that its very existence 1s almost absurd.They know there was a time, not to long ago, when if you needed to find an acquaintance\u2019s phone number, a store or a local service, you automatically went for the phonebook.usually kept within easy reach from the phone.Now many people simply go to their computer, or even their cell phone, to find in a few seconds what it used to take a few minutes to look up in the big, cumbersome phonebook.But despite the recent leaps and bounds in technology.the Yellow Pages and other publications have kept appearing on our doorsteps as usual.Of course these are fine, reputable businesses that have every right to continue doing what they do, but with fewer people needing them, many phone- books get tossed into the recveling bin immediately upon delivery à blatant waste of material and labour, Earlier this week.city councillor Cynthia Lutham pointed out that unsolicited delivery of so many phonebooks has become a problem \u2014 certainly in Westmount, but no doubt everywhere else.She is absolutely right, and her call for some regulation in the matter is both timely and wise.It this issue is followed up, we may soon have legislation allowing people the choice of how to \u201clet their fingers do the walking.\u201d and help the environment at the same time.De e MEDIA Martivnn Vanderstaav estmount recently lost another great and noble man who, in addition to being an acclaimed psychiatrist and researcher, personified humility and kindness.Dr.Samarthji Lal died on Sunday, Nov.1.after a lengthy battle with cancer.A resident of The Boulevard.Dr.Lal was well known in the community, often seen on the arm of his wife, Dr.Maureen Kiely.But as he was a modest man, even many of his netghbours may not have been aware of his accomplishments and the legacy he has left mm Montreal and bevond as a pioneer in biological psychiatric research.After completing his residency at Queen Mary Veterans Hospital and his McGill Diploma in Psychiatry.in 1967 Dr.Lal was awarded a four-year Medical Research Council of Canada Fellowship to study at Dr.Samarthiji Lal the Allen Memorial Institute with the internationally recognized neurochemist Dr.Theodore Sourkes.A decade later, filled with a series of clinical studies, Dr.Lal co-founded the Douglas Mental Health University Research Centre with Dr.N.P.V.Nair.The following vear, Dr.Lal established Canada\u2019s first and only (still in existence) brain bank at the Douglas Hospital.In 1991, after playing a pivotal role in acquiring funding from the EJLB Foundation, he set up the McGill Centre for Research in Schizophrenia, which led six vears later to the establishment of the Boeckh Family Foundation of the Graha Boeckh Chair in Schizophrenia at McGill.As a research specialist, Dr.Lal authored more than 200 publications in peer reviewed journals and books.Continued on page 9 Westmount Pat, , IFAD Rath MS SEMONTEO SANTE T cen 345 Victoria, suite 508, Westmount

explaining who the Merchant Marines until 2000 the orphan force of the Canadian Military, not recognized by Canada\u2019s Veteran Affairs.Byers joined the Merchant Marine in 1941 at the age of 17 and served on Norwegian vessels, surviving many German bomber attacks in waters infested with U-Boats and mines.Canada\u2019s merchant navy was vital to the Allied cause during the Second World War.Its ships transported desperately needed equipment, fuel, goods and personnel to Europe and around the world.By the end of the war thousands of Canadian and Newfoundland men and women had served in the merchant navy, including those serving on allied ships.More than 25,000 merchant ship voyages from North America to Britain were made.From 1939 through 1945 convoys of 30 to 75 ships assembled in Halifax and Sydney for the trans-Atlantic voyage.The Merchant Marine had a higher percentage of casualties than other Armed Forces and the crew members could be as young as 14 or 15.Today, Byers is president of the Montreal chapter of Merchant Marines.The veteran will celebrate his 86th birthday on Nov.22.1 \u20ac 6007 \u201c61 1aquIaaoN \u201ctepsiny | WON IAUNUIRXIUNOULSIM MMM B 6 Thursday,

cold wet day in the adjoining art gallery, handing oul receipts to donors, while fellow Rotarian Ted Sancton spent a large part of the day picking up bicycles from as far away as Hampstead and Cote St.Luc.And donors from Westmount, NDG and even La Salle drove in the pelting rain to deliver bicycles they knew would make life easier for the recipients.At the site, three volunteers from Cyclo Nord Sud received the bicycles, evaluated them for tax receipts and then stripped them for shipping.When rain broke out, the doors of the Conservatory were gen- crously opened to them for shelter.On Monday, the collected bicycles were added to the 375 already in a ship container at the Port of Montreal, bound for El Salvador, where students will learn how to refurbish them.Then they will be

recent visit to an antiquarian A+ show led to an intriguing find.Stashed in among a collection of vintage post cards were three black and white photos taken after a long-ago winter fire.1 stared at them intently, wondering where and when the massive conflagration took place.All three images depict the near-total ruins of several buildings encased heavily in ice.Several people can be seen standing about, seemingly satisfying their curiosity through their presence.Robert N.Wilkins The Goulden and Casey pharmacy at the time of the 1922 fire.One photo, and only one photo.provides some clues as to the possible location of the blaze.On it, amidst the bundant verglas, can be seen several words \u201cGoulden and Casey, Sherbrooke W., Melrose 930.\u201d With this limited information, I decided to play my own version of history detective and conduct a search into the precise whereabouts of this fire.The starting point for me was obvious.Tracking it all down Lovell\u2019s Street Directories of the City of Montreal and surrounding suburbs are now available online.They usually can provide a wealth of information in any local history investigation.These records start in 1842 and continue virtually uninterrupted into contemporary times.Judging from the winter dress of the handful of people seen standing around in the photos, I decided to start my search at 1915 and quickly learned of the existence of a Goulden & Casey Pharmacy at several different sites within the confines of Montreal.Bell Canada\u2019s telephone directories are available in microfilm form at the Quebec Archives on Viger Square.They helped me pin down the exact location of the buildings in question.The January 1922 edition held an entry for Goulden and Casey at 5628 Sherbrooke West (the old civic address).The reported telephone number was Melrose 930.The same listing was no longer found in the July 1922 publication (there being two annual editions of Bell Canada's directories in those days).Clearly.the fire took place sometime during the first three months of 1922.Somewhat excited at my relatively rapid progress in learning more about the blaze, | decided to begin a day-by-day search through the microfilmed copies of the old and now-defunct Montreal Star.A conflagration of such magnitude would surely have been a significant news story, | reasoned.My quest did not require too much effort before coming to a dramatic dénouement.Totally unexpectedly, it also proved to be quite tragic.Facts emerge The Monday, Jan.23, 1922 edition of the Montreal Star (and all local

From November 3 to 19, 2009 FXAMINEREE COMMUNITY LIFE ECS get two thumbs up iss Edgar\u2019s and Miss Cramp\u2019s M School (ECS) recently learned that it has received accreditation from the Canadian Education Standards Institute (CESI), an accrediting body for independent schools that applies a rigorous process based on @ best practices.The CESI accreditation process at ECS got underway more than a year ago when, as Head of School Katherine Nikidis explains, \u201cWe decided that in recognition of the benchmarking that our centennial would bring, and in anticipation of building a new strategic plan, we should undergo a CESI review in order to know ourselves better and to plan for the future.\u201d This process itself is an intensive one, as the CESI review takes in the entire school, including physical plant, human resources, academic programme, community relations, admissions, governance and school leadership.At ECS, the internal review began in the fall of 2008 and continued until the school submitted a report consisting of submissions from each of the 11 Standards committees in March 2009.It was truly a school-wide community endeavour, as parents, board members, alumnae, as well as staff members were consulted and represented on the various Standards teams.After reviewing the report, a team of educators and administrators from across the country visited ECS over the course of three days in April, met with community members, interviewed staff, and attended a variety of events.The Head of School and Board Chair received the external team\u2019s report early this fall, with news of the accreditation approval following in October.The final report included numerous commendations and recommendations, which will be invaluable to both strategic and operational planning in the months and years to come.The long list of commendations included praise for \u201cECS\u2019s very involved parent volunteers.the number and range of co-curricular activities.the work ECS has accomplished in the communications area,\u201d and the school\u2019s \u201ccreative use of space.\u201d Recommendations ranged over a variety of areas, and will be reviewed and responded to by the appropriate school staff and leadership groups, including the new School Improvement Committee.As ECS\u2019s in-house CESI Coordinator (and librarian) Rennie MacLeod commented, the process was a positive and valuable one.\u201cThis was an opportune time for all of us to reflect as a school community, to highlight the great things we are doing, and to look at the ways we can improve upon and build on that greatness as we begin our next century at Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp\u2019s School,\u201d she said.Brown to deliver Shaar\u2019s Adilman lecture Congregation Shaar Hashomayim has

scene.In fact, the restaurant has been there close to a quarter century, and owners Paolo and Elena Mercuri, are doing everything it takes to ensure it keeps going strong.I quickly chose the Pasta Duo (manicotti stuffed with ricotta and spinach and spaghetti in a tomato sauce) for $14.95, while my friend opted for a classic Italian dish, Spaghetti _ Bolognese.Our main dishes came with a choice of appetizers: three kinds of soup (mine- Shek, RY DES dricavernu catering ra 5:00 pm - 11:00 pm - Toula Foscolos - strone, chicken pastine, cream of mushroom) or Italian mixed salad.The extensive lunch menu also included such specialties as Pollo de Casa (chicken) for $16.95 and Pesce Fresco del Giorno (fish of the day) for $17.95, as well as a Midi-Express for $9.95 (soup or salad and a choice of four kinds of pasta with a choice of 15 homemade sauces).Their menu also features such Italian classics as Osso Bucco, Lobster tail and milk-fed veal.My chicken pastine soup was as homemade as it gets without having your very own grandmother make it, while my friend proclaimed his minestrone soup to be \"the best he's ever had.\u201d We shared an order of bruschetta, overflowing with chunks of freshly cut tomatoes, sprinkled with basil and deliciously drenched with olive oil.The bread at Villa Taormina is made on the premises and served piping The elegantly designed dining room, with its muted cappuccino walls and soft music playing in the background allowed for the patrons (many of which appeared to be long-time clients) to quietly enjoy their meal in a relaxed environment.My two cannelloni were generously stuffed with ricotta and spinach, with a simple tomato sauce poured over them.I sampled my friend's spaghetti Bolognese and was impressed.It's a dish I rarely order because I usually find it heavy on the meat and light on taste.\"It's great when hot.people acknowledge what you do and enjoy your food.\" Paolo Mercuri Taormina's version is the exact opposite, allowing the meat to flavour the sauce and not overpower it.Fresh cheese and freshly ground pepper were provided for every entree and main course.Owner Paolo Mercuri - who runs Taormina with wife Elena - comes from a long line of restaurateurs (many of them with long-established restaurants in our city) and believes cooking is in his blood.\"I picked up recipes from my family and I've always had a natural knack for it,\u201d he explained.\"It's great when people acknowledge what you do and enjoy your food.\" The great thing about Villa Taormina is that it's been serving up great Italian fare for 22 years and it's not showing its age at all.The upstairs Taormina Lounge, designed in red, has taken the Supper Club concept and brought it to Lachine's waterfront.With space for 90 people sitting down, 130 standing, a DJ booth, and a bar, the space has everything one would need for a fun gathering and is always booked solid for private parties throughout the year.So, how do two owners who proudly share the fact that they're from Calabria, Italy, end up naming their restaurant after Taormina, a beautiful village in Sicily?\"When we purchased the business 25 years Villa Taormina Restaurant 2530

board members is a psychiatric nurse, Jean Williams, and she's been a big advocate of building a consumer health collection,\u201d said Jay.Williams and former Library Director Ann Moffat suggested

been front and centre lately.Siblin was heavily nominated for his non-fiction book The Cello Suites.Although the best-selling work did not win a Governor General's Prize on Tuesday, it did score twice at the Quebec Writers\u2019 Federation Awards on the same night.Sibling took home the Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-Fiction, as well as the McAuslan First Book Prize, each of which carry a cash prize of $2,000.He is also nominated for a Writer's Trust Non-Fiction Prize, which will be announced next week.\u201c1 won't say it\u2019s immaterial whether 1 win or lose, but it certainly feels terrific having landed these nominations,\u201d Siblin said last week.\u201cIn truth, while I was writing the book, I think a lot of my friends and colleagues thought it was very idiosyncratic and uncommercial.So I've been pleasantly surprised to see how the book has done.\u201d Moving elegantly between three narrative strands, the book tells the life story of Johann Sebastian Bach, the story of 20th-century cellist Pablo Casals and his fascihation with Bach\u2019s cello suites, and the growth of Siblin\u2019s own interest in Bach\u2019s music.The structure is derived from the suites themselves, tying together music, politics, war, and love.\u201cMy goal from the beginning, in terms of writing the book, was can | extract a story from a piece of music?\u201d Siblin reflected.\u201cThe book tries to do a lot of things, but one of the hidden agendas of the book is to turn people on to classical music the way that I experienced it.Because before I started on this project I was really a classical neophyte.\u201d Siblin noted that response from cellists has been \u201coverwhelmingly positive,\u201d with some musicians giving him \u201cthe supreme compliment\u201d of saying his book influenced the way they play the music.The Cello Suites is only Siblin\u2019s first ARTS & BOOKS \u2018The Cello Suites\u2019 author Eric Siblin Photo: Marcie

marvellously i@lepicts October\u2019s crowning glory with its array of hues.When the weather turns, masking the heated memories of summer, I truly never experience any seasonal despair.Elation as to what lies ahead is my personal realization that 1 can vigorously stroll the area in layers of sweaters and scarves under the dazzling sunlight, surrounded by the glorious picturesque foliage.Even the November bleakness and sparse effects of nature never affect me adversely as | have learned that every season possesses pleasurable entertainment activities, but occasionally they must be sought after, and appreciated.To me and many others, late fall has always signified that initiation of hibernation time and there is that tendency to crave the indoors, especially when winter rolls out its snowy blanket covering.People may complain about the cooler temperatures, and dream of going south, but there is absolutely no need to believe that there is nothing to do when the weather becomes frostier.1 am not diminishing the impact of winter's occasional fury that forces us to remain inside as those times can be spent pleasantly with an absorbing book and if work is absolutely necessary, computers hook us up with ease.But in order to elaborate further on other modes of fall and winter entertainment, ! shall try to direct all Westmounters as to what the area offers in terms of activities to make those impending cool temperatures feel much warmer.Sports & Recreation My first recommendation to all families is to pore carefully through the Westmount Recreation book.There are such a variety of clubs to keep everyone with various tastes occupied without even leaving the area and what they offer is not solely for children.For those young individuals and for a minimal cost, you can enrol your child in skiing, dance, skating, hockey.karate, here is no season 1 adore more playgroup.scrap booking and the list goes on.There is also the Parent/Child Workshops offering self-defence, street proofing, and even a unique and necessary course in how children can learn to handle those bullying situations.The adult programs are so diverse as well and they include dancing, badminton, pilates, yoga, bridge, basketball and much more.There is an abundance to choose from and there really is something to suit everyone.The Westmount Library The Westmount Public Library has an absorbing array of book reading events and sometimes simply relaxing and reading in the library itself is sufficient.By visiting frequently, you may discover novels you may have never heard about that are so worthwhile.The children\u2019s library hosts a diverse selection of book clubs, an author lecture series, films and literary competitions.The atmosphere is also ideally private for homework and research.It is imperative for parents to encourage the use of the library, as it is the most advisable destination for research and studying.Many students do not take advantage of this facility and realistically, distractibility lessens drastically in this environment.In addition, it is beneficial for young individuals to learn to focus and.research before the CEGEP years so that the transition and skills to do so are in place before high school is completed.Many students do claim that these tools @'Help build our new world-class hospital » \u2014 Jean Béliveau and Mutsumi Takahashi 3173000

fitness and its varied exercise classes.There is nothing healthier or better than getting into shape especially in the winter when there is that tendency to slow down due to that natural and more lethargic feeling resulting with our shorter and darker afternoons.The programs offered really do have something for all ages.Once Christmas and Hannukah enter the scene, do not forget about the outdoor skating rinks and if you would rather, the indoor rink at the Westmount Recreation building lists a schedule specifying hockey and free skating hours as well.City activities Yearly, the City of Westmount features many upcoming community events such as the Fall Flower Show, which begins on Nov, 19, the Harmonia Westmount Christmas Concert on Nov.27, the Christmas tree lighting and party on Dec.16, and the Hanukkah party on Dec.16.Frequenting one ar all of these occasions reinforces that sense of community as we connect with new and old acquaintances at the same time in a sharing atmosphere, As | reside at home on this cool November day, 1 am also contemplating an afternoon visit to one of my weekly Westmount destinations; the library.Each and every time, 1 visit, the aura and serenity of reading or searching for something is continually a delight, and there are always some informative notices posted about something 1 may have forgotten or been unaware about.But most of all it also gives me the opportunity to stroll in the connecting Westmount Park and remind myself how fortunate I am, that even after 26 years, 1 still love exactly where | live.Commission scolaire
