Meadowbrook saga unfold examiner@transcontinental.ca hile the 57-hectare Meadowbrook We space isn\u2019t technically in Westmount or even adjacent to the City, those interested in the preservation of any green space on the island of Montreal are keeping a close eye on the Tremblay administration\u2019s inability to, so far, commit to anything concrete for the area.While Patrick Asch of the Les Amis de Meadowbrook citizens\u2019 coalition wants the entire site preserved as a public park, Mian Beach condo developer, Pacific Group Canada, wants to build 1,500 housing units on the site, which might be the last viable green space in the southwest area of Montreal.The site has been a private golf course for about a century.It\u2019s not as simple as choosing sides and painting the condo developers as cold-hearted business people out for a quick buck, while painting all those who support the preservation of green spaces as tree-huggers impeding urbanization and economic growth.The simple fact of the matter is that land slated tor development is owned by developers.Unless someone can make the non-develop- ment of land a financially viable proposition for them, developers will develop.They will take the land that belongs to them and build rev- enue-gencrating property on It.In order for that not to happen, everyone needs to sit down \u2014community leaders, politicians, developers, conservation groups like the Green Coalition and the Friends of Meadowbrook\u2014and truly discuss every option presented to them.It is possible to find commercially viable solutions that can meet everyone's needs and still reduce our ecological footprint on what green space we have left on the island of Montreal, Because, make no mistake.Montreal lags behind when it comes to green space.Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and Toronto all have greater percentages of natural space than Montreal.Vancouver has designated over 11% of its total land mass as regional or natural parkland.The Island of Montreal has 590.Ottawa claims 8 hectares of green for every 1,000 persons.Toronto has 3.24 hectares per 1,000, while Montreal accommodates just 1.2 hectares per 1,000 residents.(http:;/Avww.cbe.ca/news/background/parks/u rban-parks.html) When green space is at stake, it\u2019s essential that everyone involved remember that some decisions cannot be undone once they're made.Once lost, our matural heritage cannot be recovered.Environmental conservation, like democracy, depends on active citizens and it doesn\u2019t have to be an \u201ceither-or\u201d situation.With a little forward thinking, sustainable solutions can be financially viable tor developers.\u201cWE'RE TRYING TO PAY OFF HIS STUDENT LOAN.\u201d LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Naysayers are the essence of democracy Last week's editorial (Thursday May 13, \u201cNew plans offer little to criticize \u2014- but some will anyway\u201d) presented a foolish, unhelpful attack on dissenters.The argument is so oftensive that 1 searched for a tongue in cheek but found none.1 conclude that the writer was entirely serious.Readers must hope 1s that views expressed are those of the writer alone and not the official position of The Examiner.1 am referring to the bizarre, divisive argument that those who opposed the new arena are a \u201csmall but vocal faction of eternally dissatisfied residents who automatically leap up to challenge anything and everything put before them.\u201c The writer continues: \u201c\u2026 there will always be à handful of those few miserable souls who don't like anything and will dig in heir heels to blindly fight any proposal that the City comes up with.We saw this occur 15 vears ago with the \u2026 Public Library renovation project.and we saw it much more recently with the Westmount Park playing fields debacle.where a vocal group of naysayers prevented the installation of what was clearly the superior plan.\u201d As it happens | am not one of those \u201cmiserable souls\u201d but unlike the editorialist.I am delighted and reassured that they exist and can be heard.They are the essence of democracy.We don\u2019t always agree nor should we.One hopes that Westmount celebrates open discussions of debatable issues rather than labelling dissenters and attempting to stifle them.This is what the Examiner has attempted to do in this woefully misconceived editorial.Barry Pless Lansdowne Avenue Westmount Anniversary supplement brings back memories Thank you for your very interesting 75th year anniversary edition.I was amused to recognize myself in the YMCA preschool photograph on page 3 (7th child from the front, on the left hand side of the picture).At the time, we lived at 441 Lansdowne Ave and | would walk (on my own!) to

inept professor attempting to teach Shakespeare, a crazed Beethoven impersonator, and even a more personal turn as himself, hilariously ranting about some trouble he encountered while performing at the Fringe Festival.Now Cutler has taken the rant aspect to another level, going so far as to feature it as his next theatrical piece Rant Demon.( This latest piece promises to show Cutler at his autobiographical best \u2014 à non-stop, comedic rant about losing girlfriends, jobs and, of course, his sanity as he recounts true incidents from his life.Directed by long-time collaborator T] Dawe, Rant Demon will be presented at the Montreal Fringe Festival for two weeks, from June 9 to 12 and June 16 to 19 at Théatre Ste.Catherine.264 Ste.Catherine St.E.All performances are at 9 p.m.Tickets

Rant Demon hits the stage.Photo: byelvne Seulard ® ®) Westmount businesses stress economic recovery and growth Bram Eisenthal he economic recession that hit the U.S.and markets overseas so hard this past year certainly did not bypass Canada.Here in Montreal, signs of economic stress have been widespread, as every family, every business, has been affected to some degree Surveying businesses in Westmount, however, it seems that things are looking up.Concurrent with an improvement in our weather and the recent positive fortunes of our beloved hockey team, signs are pointing to an upward trend, at least for the foreseeable future.If you're looking to feel as good as you'll look by investing your hard-earned cash in your most important asset, you, head straight for Fanny of Westmount (4891 Sherbrooke.W., 514-482-5824).Its been a permanent fixture on the Westmount landscape for a quarter century now.Once settled into their clean, bright, state-of-the-art facility, hand yourself over to founder Fanny Ohayon.her daughter Patricia Soussana and the nine members of their well-heeled staff.While they are working on you \u2014 hair styling and colouring, waxing, nails or any of the plethora of other services they offer (more than 200 in all), including massages \u2014 rest assured you are getting treatments from the best.Fanny\u2019s personnel have worked on The Rolling Stones, Angelina Joli, Bruce Willis, Sharon Stone and a further list-full of celebs.Soussana admitted that things had started slowing down two years ago, \u201cwhen our clients did not have as much disposable income,\u201d but she snapped into action to change that.\u201cWe started doing publicity on Q-92, which came up with a Before and After Contest that worked beautifully, plus we try to work with the media as often as possible,\u201d she added.\u201cAnd 1 discovered a new line of organic, chemical-free hair products, including colouring, that has revolutionized how we work.It\u2019s called Roland and we are unique with it in Westmount.\u201d Fanny of Westmount\u2019s employees are hardly lazy, as they are open seven days per week, although Fanny herself takes Saturdays off in deference to the Jewish Sabbath.If pampering your body is important, then your dining habits are equally so.One of the signs that people were suffering economically was the difficulty experienced by the restaurant industry this past year.For those restaurants that managed to stay open, many were emptier than usual, not a common occurrence in culinary-mad Montreal.One such establishment is Wellhouse, located at 4858 Sherbrooke W., corner Victoria (tel: 514-482-2167), the former site of the once-trendy Mess Hall.Founder Fanny Ohayon (left), with daughter Patricia Soussana operate Fanny of Westmount.\"hoo credits Bram Lisenthul where the recession certainly took a hefty toll.\u201cMy two partners, Nils McLeod, Omar Zabuaire and I knew the previous owner completed an industry training program in his native England, which included three months in each department and six months \u201cBusiness has been wonderful.\u201d says Wellhouse co-owner Adam Summers.and when I saw I might be out of a job, | felt I could come up with a winning career recipe here,\u201d said Adam Summers, who as the kitchen\u2019s \u201cchef de parti,\u201d where he was in charge of his own section.He then met a wonderful French Canadian girl, moved to Montreal with her, took over the establishment this past February, completed six- week-long renovations and opened under the new name on March 29, 2010.\u201cBusiness has been wonderful,\u201d said Summers.\u201c1 think the simple, yet well-exe- cuted food made with local produce, fish and meats, wherever possible, plus very competitive pricing, has resulted in a successful formula\u201d Dinner for two with wine may only set you back $75 - $80 and the wine doesn\u2019t necessarily place second: there are about 100 fairly-priced, quality varieties to choose from.Finally, we come to a family business where everything old is truly new again, Westmount's beloved Hogg Hardware (4833 Sherbrooke W., temporarily relocated to 5128 Sherbrooke W., corner Vendome, while lengthy renovations are due to be completed shortly (lel: 514-934- 4644).There was much angst, at the very least concern, when this popular quincal- lerie was not at its usual spot this past winter.Founder George Hogg opened the original store 18 years ago and he and wife Gigi have not only made it a one-stop shop, but have made \u201cgreen\u201d a corporate mantra.\u201cThe key for us now is creating a greener business,\u201d Hogg said.\u201cIf we can\u2019t find these products locally, we will go anywhere to find them.We not only recycle all that we can, but we sell products our clients can recycle.\u201d Long-lasting, environmentally- friendly LED lights and non-toxic-coated frying pans are included in Hogg's large inventory.The Westmount resident also admitted that you can

Keep business smart and simple, financial consultant advises Bram Eisenthal Ithough recessions can be fuelled by exte- A forces, smart entrepreneurial tactics can help minimize damage and keep local businesses on top of the flood waters.So said Annamaria Testani, V.P.National Business Development for investment firm Wellington West Capital (2001 McGill College, Suite 710, Tel: 514-390-4844).Asked what advice she had for Westmount\u2019s entrepreneurs, especially those looking to open a business here in the future, she stressed that \u201ckeeping it as simple as possible\u201d is the best place to start.\u201cYou need to do your homework and reassess everything from a performance perspective.For those already in business, try to.achieve transparency, so that you can look for any areas that may have cracks, that needs to be strengthened,\u201d Testani said \u201cThat will give you a better idea how your business is doing and which areas are weakest.\u201d Another important factor, she stated, is how wisely entrepreneurs utilize their avail- Hogg Hardware is a business that has used smart martin and business acumen to able credit.\u201cLet's say you have $20,000 of stay sharp during the recession.Seen here are George Hogg and his son Alexander, at the store's new location.available bank credit that you aren\u2019t using.{Pheto credit; Bram Eisenthal} The bank may reassess you (more quickly tt.«sut de SÛL.pi fier te: \u201cansion .w B 8 Thursday, May 27th 2010 www.westmountexaminer.com now than previously) and cut you down to $15,000.So you have that money, but what has changed is that you have to use it more carefully during harder economic times.In the past, many businesses, small and large alike, took the availability of credit for granted.This created a problem on a corporate level, as well as on a personal one, because the owners of these businesses took their credit for granted and were living on it.\u201cCredit can be an important resource, but look at it as a limited one, not a long-term certainty.Today you need to look at your business decisions with an eye toward whether they create a realistic probability of getting a return on your investment.\u201d No business decision is so black and white anymore.there are many grey areas that must be considered.\u201cThe foundation of the business community has been shakier in recent years and it turned out that many of the reliable people we came to trust were not so reliable, after all.Many people assumed \u2014 and were led to believe - that the market would correct itself in a period of months, not years.\u201d Continued on page 10 ites or plannirig Sr programs that ESTMOUNT i CHEE ® 0 Are you worried about the current state of market volatility?Are you looking for capital preservation combined with the potential for capital appreciation?For a very limited time, we have access to a Bank of Montreal Callable Deposit Series 6, S&P/TSX 60 Canadian Class with the following features: A 6 year term to Maturity.Potential return based on the price performance of the S&P/TSX 60 Index®.The note is callable at the option of Bank of Montreal on June 23, 2014 at a price of $100 plus $25 interest per Deposit Note.If not called, a holder will receive a return at maturity equal to the percentage increase, if any, of the Index over the term of the note.100% Principal Protection by Bank of Montreal if held to Maturity.The Deposit Notes are not conventional notes or debt securities, they do not provide you with a return or income stream prior to maturity, or a return at maturity, that is calculated wholly by reference to a fixed or floating rate of interest that can be determined before the maturity date.® [tis possible that the Holder may not receive a Variable Return on the Deposit Notes.Whether the Holder receives a Variable Return, and if so, how much of a Variable Return, will depend on the performance of the Index.B® You cannot elect to receive any payments prior to maturity.No interest or distributions will be paid during the term of the Deposit Notes.® The Deposit Notes are not insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC).To find out more with respect to the details of this Deposit Note or how this may contribute to your investment strategy, Call us today to learn more!

We like to gloat about how friendly we Canadians are, but maybe all those winters spent huddled under layers and layers of parkas, hunched over looking down, making sure we don't kill ourselves on some random slab of ice, has made us unable to Make cye contact and just simply smile.I've traveled all over the world and never have 1 seen people more reticent to engage in this, the most basic of human contact, than right here at home.A smile that says \u201cHello! How are you?1 acknowledge your presence in this world.1 see you\u201d like James Cameron convinced us they say on Pandora.Maybe we're just shy.1 don't know.1 just know that it aggravates me to Financial consultant Continued from page 8 Testani also feels that the economy 1s not as bad as some have made it out to be.\u201cIt is better because we realize that there is \u201cHow you doing, baby?\u201d was once uttered to me by a 70-year-old beautiful black woman slowly inching her way along on Decatur Street in New Orleans.Her soft southern sing-song twang made my day.In search of a smile no end.A while back, Forbes had listed Canada as being the second friendliest place in the world, but I'm not convinced.To me, nothing compares to the U.S.South for good home honest hospitality and genuine human contact.If you can disregard the occasional Bible-thumping and the conservative agenda that reigns supreme there, the South can teach you about manners.\u201cHi, y'all! How yon doing today, sugar?Have yourself a blessed evening\u201d These are all greetings that can be heard on the street, in stores, on sidewalks everywhere in the South.lt makes me want to cry for what we don\u2019t have here.All across Asia | was greeted with unabashed joy and bright Chiclet smiles.People just look at you in the eyes and smile.They wouldn't think to do anything else.New York, which has an undeserved reputation for being a hustling city: the kind of place that will knock you down if you're not paying attention, is actually à very friendly town.I don\u2019t get it.We talk about being friendly, and we are if you get to know us, but in our daily interactions we simply are not.We look down, we don\u2019t acknowledge, we begrudge people the occasional \u2018hello\u2019 Our i a lot of faulty information out there and we now look at each and every decision more carefully.\u201d Is the current climate worthy of the 514-485-0888 Free delivery to Westmount 11: 30 am.- 2 p.m Buy 1 meal at regular price 50% off the second meal of equal or lesser value \u2018Valid until Jiily 80°, 2010 no mm oO 0 ED ht oh mm om interactions lack generosity of spirit, because, really.what does a smile cost?Nothing at all.It only has value once it\u2019s given away.\u201cHow you doing, baby?\u201d was once uttered to me by a 70-year-old beautiful black woman slowly inching her way along on Decatur Street in New Orleans.Her soft southern sing-song twang made my day.It doesn\u2019t take much to connect with another human being.A nod, an acknowledgement, a smile.Why we would choose to be so stingy with something we have an unlimited supply of is beyond me! doom and gloom label that has been attached to it?\u201cNo, it's not the end of the world.\u201d Testani said.\u201cBut | do expect that we will go through a further period of adjustment, concurrent with the changes we are seeing in Europe and the ones that could affect Asia.Testani also agreed that small businesses are usually the hardest hit.Many entrepreneurs will recall that Brian Mulroney promised small businesses \u2014 the \u201cbackbone of our economy,\u201d he stated while running for election for the Progressive Conservatives in the 1980s \u2014 that his government would champion small business.and then proceeded to feed this same segment of the economy to the wolves.\u201cBecause it 1s harder for the small business person to have access to cash.there are some measures vou can take to ensure that vou survive the current crunch.\u201d Testani stated.These steps include: 1.Cash outlay must be minimized and fixed costs must be replaced by variable ARTS & LIFE Perhaps people were having an \u201coff\u201d day.Perhaps [ notice these things more, because I spent a large part of my life in a small town and have always been used to the easy banter and friendly small talk that\u2019s parcel and package of such surroundings, but I can\u2019t simply be the only person who's noticed this sad omission in our city.The only person who did smile and wish me a great day that sunny Friday?Good old Tony, Victoria Avenue's always-present panhandler.It\u2019s telling that the person, who, most likely, had the least to smile about, was the one most generous with the gesture.ones wherever possible.\u201cBuild your business by being prepared for war, but hopefully limiting the battle to the odd skirmish.For instance, you may be able to introduce a variable salary to your payroll, maybe a mix of salary and bonuses, a variable model.If things go well, everyone benefits, if they do not, your losses are not as severe.That also makes the financial benefits of working in that business more motivational.\u201d 2.If you move a lot of stock daily, such as in the food and clothing industries.order and replenish when vou absolute- lv need to, not before.\u201cLet your inventory go down so low that you NEED to reorder.This \u2018just in time\u2019 inventory gives you a lot of financial breathing room throughout the year.\u201d Westmount's entrepreneurs have done very well for themselves thus far and most are likely follow these measures to ensure they are around for many years to come.

They haven't exactly made their presence known yet, but 1 know they're waiting for the right moment.And I'm sitting on my proverbial front porch rocker with my proverbial shotgun.We have a nest tucked up somewhere inside our building's roof.It can't be seen or physically removed.We only see the miniscule gaps between eaves and brick where the little buggers go back and forth.They show up around mid-sum- peak of outdoor I refuse to call them \u201cyellowjackets\u201d simply on the mer.Right at the orounds that is far too cute a name.hive.Why a beehive?Everyone knows hornets don\u2019t live in hives.Common sense would dictate if this does not look like your house \u2014 then do not go inside, Hansel and Gretel! But common sense is what separates us from insects.That, and eyebrows.Anyway, as far as the hornets are concerned, this plastic beehive is something special because it\u2019s filled with a delectable homemade concoction of vrange juice, sugar and dog food.(1 assume dog food is a hard-to-come-by commodity in the hornet world.Like trying to get fresh blueberries in the winter.) What happens is, the hornets crawl into the plastic trap for their little 5 à 7 and end up drowning.Which, is really just as well.Because a hornet who's drunk and bloated on dog food juice is no good to the Queen.Assuming he ever made it back to the nest in that condition, she'd kick him out anyway.Or eat him.Or at the very least make him sleep 20 pupal chambers away.And a fat hornet living in a paper house?Recipe for disaster.You don\u2019t want to be that guy\u2019s downstairs neighbour.No, it would definitely upset the delicate balance of nature.So see?It\u2019s better for the planet if they just die.Sidenote: You know what?To tell you the truth, I don't even know if these bugs are wasps or hornets.I don\u2019t know the difference.I just know they aren't bees or squirrels.And 1 refuse to call them \u201cyellowjackets\u201d simply on the grounds that is far too cute a name.lt makes me think of them, jet-black naked, standing in front of a wardrobe crammed full of identical striped yellow jackets, deciding which one to wear today.And as you can well imagine, this type of anthropomorphism makes them harder to kill.And | am a hunter, as 1 have already established.Truth be told, that stupid plastic trap didn\u2019t even kill more than a couple of hornets.And an unfortunate housefly who living - ideally It makes me think of them, jet-black wanted to join during a guest- heavy barbecue.With lots of food and a veritable buffet of exposed, stingable flesh.I'm not an advocate of hunting for sport.1 don't see the benefit of it in any way, shape or form.But I'll admit; I sure as hell don't mind hunting hornets.Last year, | bought a hornet trap.One of those plastic things that looks like a bee- naked, standing in front of a wardrobe crammed full of identical ou! the big guns.striped yellow jackets, deciding which one to wear today.the party.So, this year I'm bringing Caulking guns.I\u2019ll sit on my proverbial front porch rocker with those across my lap.I'm going to seal up every last possible nook and cranny that a hornet can squeeze into.And afterwards, | might just make myself a celebratory dog food and orange juice cocktail.sanh 5e NES MST WESTMOUNT PARK Fétez I'arrivée de I'été | Celebrate the arrival a Westmount.| of summer in Westmount.Activités et jeux pour ;
