most of the work is taking place.4 Thursday, December 23, 2010 www.westmountexaminer.com \u201cWe're very serious about the threat to annex,\u201d Applebaum said, as Trent chuckled in a clearly condescending way over the airwaves.Thing is.Trent has gvery right to be smirking.The likelihood of the City of Montreal attempting to forcibly annex part of the de-merged City of Westmount, and willing to live with the backlash that would most certainly arise from it, is every bit as likely as the public's concerns over unethical conduct in government coming to a complete halt in the New Year.Translation?It's not going to happen.Annexing is a threat, but an empty one.The provincial government has indicated no real interest whatsoever in resolving this issue by such means.Mayor Trent is right when he claims that the City of Montreal approved and zoned the Glen access road as an emergency exit and five years later they can't just suddenly realize they made a mistake and expect Westmount to bow down to pressure and undo the zoning changes.He's also correct in assuming that, since Westmount bylaws stipulate that any zoning changes require residents\u201d approval.such an attempt would be \u201can exercise in (utility.1s well known that residents have already expressed serious concerns over current and future traffic increases tn the area.especially on Lansdowne Avenue, which turns into Glen Road below Ste.Catherine Street.It's highly unlikely that they would suddenly find it in their hearts to take pity on NDG residents and allow for additional traftic on their streets.In political non-speak.Trent is merely shrugging his shoulders and basically telling the CDN/NDG borough \u201cToo bad, 50 sad.You guys [the City of Montreal] Yeah, right.made the dumb move years ago, now you're stuck with it and 1 intend to do nothing to change that, unless | am legally forced to do so\u201d Trent also made certain to reassure Daybreak listeners that he finds mayor Applebaum to be a \u201cvery nice man\u201d, just in case any of us were worried this was getting à little too personal.Since Trent has to answer to Westmount residents, and with the area around the Glen road having its own traffic congestion problems, it\u2019s understandable that he wants to absolve himself of any responsibility in the issue and maintain the status quo that protects Westmount from any of the inconveniences, vet will still allow the City to benefit from a brand new super-hospital right at its door.It's a bit of a \u2018damned if you, and damned if you don\u2019t\u2019 kind of scenario and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the New Year.\u2014 Okaaay.This year, T know exactly who's been good and who's been naughty.In the meantime, dear readers, let's all take à break from municipal politics for a moment and enjoy the season and each other.On behalf of everyone here at The Westmount Examiner, Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones.Ten ways to stay green during the holidays n.lauzon@virginradio.ca while back, at a climate change conference in Germany, Al Gore said that in a few short vears the only ice caps we'll have left will be at Tim Hortons.I'm paraphrasing.But 1 think you catch my polar drift.And here we are smack dab in the middle of the most gluttonous season of them all.Overeating, overdrinking.overspending, overpackaging - are you over it yet?It feels like the holidays are really a time of excess and waste.Maybe we can at least make a resolution to be more enviro-conscious next holiday scason.Here are 10 green\u2019 tips you might want to tuck in your back pocket: I.The tree: 1 know nothing quite compares to a real tree.but at the rate we're destroving our green spaces, we need to keep those suckers firmly planted.Instead of cutting one down, designate an outdoor tree as your Christmas tree.Decorate it, take photos of it, sing carols around it.Then explain to the neighbours what you're doing on their front lawn.2.Wrapping paper: It's wasteful to wrap presents year after year.Think of alternatives to using all of that decorated paper.| suggest painting gifts.To really create intrigue, use a glue gun to add ghtter and feathers.Important: Let paint dry completely.\u201cUnwrapping\u201d takes à phenomenally long time.drawing out the pleasure of Christmas and that special time vou spend together.3.Batteries: When disposed of improperly, batteries can leach harmful chemicals into the earth.Try to avoid toys that require batteries.How about good ol fashioned Lego?Plus, nothing beats the entertainment value in watching unsuspecting visitors step on the pieces in their sock feet.4 Cards: Don't add to paper waste by sending real cards - send e-cards! Everyone knows you're a cheap SOB anyway.so just own 5.Conserve heat: Close the curtains.Insulate your windows with plastic.Invite yourself over to the neighbours\u201d where it's Warner.6.Snow removal: Snow blowers are great, but do you really want to waste that gas?Studies that I made up have shown that a kid with a Red Bull and a shovel can produce comparable results.7.Dinnerware: Entertaining?Use glass plates and dishes instead of disposable ones.Ask your friends to bring over dishes if you don\u2019t have enough.Send the dishes back with them.Do not wash first.Y'know.water conservation.8.New Years partÿ-favours: Why overspend and buy so much stuff for one night?Instead of noisemakers, screaming is free {and easy!).Party hats can be replaced with Burger King crowns.9.Food: Select seasonal, local produce.Mmm.snow.10.Cleaning up: Clean up after a party using non-toxic cleaners.A fire hose works well.And, à bonus tip for all the holiday Grinches - when stealing Christmas, please use recyclable bags!

Thursday, December 23, 2010 www.westmountexaminer.com Reich pens a delightful family memoir Immigrant experience is told with warmth and humour Wayne Larsen riends of noted architect David F Reich know him as both a serious professional and a man guided by a sharp sense of humour \u2014 so much so that it was just a matter of time before he succumbed to the temptation of writing his own story.The result, recently published as \u2018You Could Lose an Eye, is a bright, quirky memoir that lives up to the promise of its title From the oppression of carly 20th-cen- truy Galicia through the struggles | In a new land to the decidedly sunnier heights of Summit Crescent \u2014 where Reich has now resided for many years \u2014 \u201cYou Could Lose an Eye\u2019 traces the author's family\u2019s history without glossing over any of the tragic elements so closely associated with the European Jewish experience.The immigrant family\u2019s establishment in Montreal, solidified by the 1927 birth of \u201cten pounds of solid flesh,\u201d as Reich describes himself, provides the bulk of material for what turns out to be a charming autobiography filled with warmth and heaping helpings of humour.Reich's personality fills every page, even when he writes about the colourful cast of characters to be found in the branches of his family tree.He takes great pleasure in reciting the anecdotes handed down by his parents, and those surrounding the Reich Brothers store and its various employees.From Uncle Harold, a gifted musician who could never stay awake during the day and could be found slumbering in the most inopportune spots, to Uncle Yosef, a.k.a The Flying Mohel, Reich adroitly mines each character and situation for their full potential of quirky, comedic possibilities.There is currently no shortage of books on the immigrant experience; countless Canadians have been inspired to set their own dramatic \u2014 sometimes even heroic \u2014 family history into words, in most cases prompted by casy access to a computer.But it seems doubtful that many have done it with the unique combination of grace and self-effacing humour that drives David Reich's inspired memoir.- \u2018You Could Lose an Eye: My First 80 Years in Montreal\u201d by David Reich is published by \u201cBaraka Books (www.barakabooks.com) and is currently available in most

Humbug! The top four holiday spoilers It\u2019s that time of year when there\u2019s too much of some things, like shopping, partying, eating and working, and too little of others, namely sunshine and sleep.Don't let the hustle and bustle of the holiday season take its toll on your mood, waistline, and ability to feel good overall.With an attitude of cheer and goodwill towards yourself, you can take charge of the next few weeks without succumbing to frustration, fat, and fatigue.Here are some tips to manage the top four holiday spoilers: Dreaming of a white Christmas or just a good night's sleep?Start by getting rid of the stimulants.Reducing excess sugar in your diet can help balance blood sugars and lessen the annoying habit of waking up in the middle of the night.Also, cut back on caffeine and alcohol.To relax before bed, read, journal, or listen to light music to help calm the mind and the body.Not feeling much \u201cho, ho, ho\u201d but more like \u201cheave-ho\u201d?Rushed deadlines prior to the holidays, social obligations, and credit-card overuse can make the holiday season more dreaded than desired.Try to work more efficiently\u2014 focus on the immediate work tasks at hand and keep the socializing for the office party.Keep your finances in check by staying on budget.New Year glee can be quickly dimmed by the arrival of credit card statements.If you need help managing stress-filled days and concentrating on what needs to be done, you might want to try natural supplements containing a plethora of nutrients (lemon balm, ashwagandha, 5-HTP, rhodiola, and l-theanine) to help your mind and body manage stress and its related mental and physical symptoms.Continued on page 12 \u201cDavid Estephan and everyone at Westmount Auto wishes all their customers and friends a Very Happy « Holiday Season and all the En best in the New Year!

support the mayor\u2019s efforts to control Agglomeration spending; freeze local expenditures for 2011 (not including borrowing costs).Consistent with this goal, I am pleased to announce that we have met the challenge of freezing local controllable expenditures at $29.8 million (vs.$30 million in 2010)\u201d But, he said, \u201cthe Agglomeration budget increase did not respect the guidelines adopted by the City of Montreal at the recommendation of the Association of Suburban Municipalities.This guideline called for an increase of not more than the cost of living plus 1 per cent.Westmount\u2019s share of the Agglomeration apportionment has increased by $1,759,800 over 2010, or 3.8 per cent, and accounts for more than three-quarters of Westmount's taxation increases.If a $45-per-car registration levy had not been budgeted for, the increase would have been substantially higher.\u201cAs a result of the Agglomeration increase.\u201d Price said, \u201cCouncil has decided that we have no choice but to pass on this increase to Westmount taxpayers for 20117 TO OUR ADVERTISERS Please check your ad the first day it runs In case of errors, call us immned'ate, cu resconsibilits umited exclusively to the \u201cnarge for the first week of publication of your ad.Labor market: Discrimination is illegal.Jobs advertised in our headings re open to men and women 205 apart for sent ap spot rent WESTMOUNT CHEQUERS PLACE/3033 SHERBROOKE W.PE ER I SER LTRS -l Tree PRE INFO: 514-937-7978 Outolom EQ Miscellaneous for sole FLORIDE condo 3-172, 55, proche mer, TV/ français.an- #14 steel building sale!
