petition, which opposes the proposed Westmount Recreation Centre plans in their current form, has been circulating throughout the community and beyond for the better part of 2011 in both paper and online forms.According to de Maisonneuve Boul.resident Gotham Hooja, one of the petition\u2019s primary organizers, the milestone was reached in Westmount Park on Saturday, Nov.5, when Sherbrooke Street residents Edward and Rachelle Keyserlingk added the 2.000th and 2,001st signatures.To mark the occasion, Save the Park member Patrick Barnard presented the Keyserlingks with a copy of the book

area halted the original plan.Martin explained that the depth of the dramage pipes beneath the apartment buildings on Academy Road required à modified routing of the new sewer line.Now the City's plan is to run the new sewer down Arena Drive to the edge of Ste.Catherine Street.According to Martin, this is a less expensive plan.\u201cIt\u2019s shorter, so vou're digging up less street,\u201d he

more fireworks aver the controversial Westmount Recreation Centre project were no doubt disappointed, for there were no heated exchanges between Mayor \u2018Trent and Patrick Barnard, and only à brief volley between David Ladner and ity councillor Patrick Martin.lichoes of the long, heated question periods of months past were nowhere mn evidence on Monday.Histead, attendces were treated to à relatively breezy, short question period that set the tone for the meeting itself.Thanks to a suggestion pul forth by Westnioun! Municipal Association president Jean-Pierre Picard last month, city council has now adopted a more streamlined policy for residents who come to ask questions.Simply pul, mayor and councillor reports will open the meeting, and a 45-minute question period will follow.This could be extended to one hour if deemed necessary.Then, after all items on the agenda have been discussed and acted upon, a 30-minute question period will close the meeting.Describing the WMA suggestion as \u201cbrilliant.\u201d Trent cited last month's marathon meeting as something that could be avoided in the future.\u201cThose of vou who survived the last council meeting will recall that the first question period went on for 90 minutes,\u201d he said.\u201cAsk a question, preceded by a very short preamble, after winch vou have the right to ask a follow-up question on the same subject.\u201d Residents may get back in line fora second question, but only after all others have had a turn at the mike.\u201cAnother suggestion the WMA made is thal a public question deserves a public answer and we think that makes sense as well\u201d Trent said.\u201cIl vou ask a question and we have no idea how to answer it, we'll tell vou that.Then, when we do have an answer, we will make the answer public.If vou ask a question and vou don't hike our answer \u2014 that's too bad.\u201d The idea is to allow more residents access to council.Trent said.\"We want the average citizen to be able to come here and not feel intimidated by the same people asking the same question every month,\u201d he sad.\u201cThere's nothing wrong with that, it's simply that it turns some people off and thev feel that thevre not even welcome.[Es important that we allow all citizens to ask a question \u2014 not just the regular council attendees.\u201d Thanks to the WMA's tHimelv and wise intervention in suggesting a more streamlined policy, there seems to be increased access to that council chamber microphone \u2014 at least there was at Monday's meeting, where everyone had their say and the entire meeting was over within two hours.Of course it remains to be seen how this will work on those nights dommated by some hol, controversial issue.when the quence extends out of the council chamber and past the fover.BIKE PATH STAYS OPEN THIS WINTER Following a loud vutery from local cyclists m these pages last week, city council announced on Monday that it has reversed its decision to close the de Maisonneuve bike path this winter, WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM Ae \u2018This no doubt comes as a relief to those who believe winter cveling has its own set of hazards and is more safelv carried out on a designated path mstead of a busy street.Although it was firmly stated that the path would be

this may slow car traffic which.in turn, is likely to lead to drivers who believe the road 1s for them alone, complaining.Recause the powers appear to share the view that traffic comes first.the eveling path closure may then be reconsidered, albeit not for safety reasons.Dr.Barry Pless, Lansdowne Avenue Bike path double standard To the editor: Peter Trent und his councillors take us for fools.What was unsafe last week because of construction projects and the logistics of snow removal in Westmount is not a problem now \u2014 the path will be open on non-snowy and non-construction davs \u2014 and I guess the city will install electric billboards at each end of the path with flashing OPEN and CLOSED signs.It cost us taxpayers $175,000 last vear to keep the path open for a trickle of cyclists.More unportant, itis irresponsible for him and the citv councillors to ignore the basic safet considerations outlined in Nr.Taddeo\u2019s letter last week.Our Lord Mavor and his court are

You have to tum vour wheels mto a curb when vou're on a hill.And the city of Westmount has to enforce that.\u201d So on Monday, Kerman asked city council what it intends to do lo enforce that law and prevent future disastrous accidents on Church EOI She was assined that the City would take the tine to review the sitnation and present a solution al the next council meeting, But Kerman is still worried.\u201cWe'll look into at, as the pat answer vou gel from city couneil\u201d she said.\u201cIt could've been just so horrible, and that's really the point 1 need to press home.We don't need à bloodbath on one of our streets!\u201d »»» Continued from LETTERS page 4 Westmount Citizens for Safe Cycling (WCSC) regrets the many errors of fact that appear in these missives and Mr.Larsen's column, First, on safety: as WCSC pointed oul in its brief to the Master Traffic Planning Committee, the bi-directional de Maisonneuve bike path does not conform to government standards, nor to those of Vélo-Québec and is unsafe.spring.sununer and fall.The removal of the bollards doubles the jeopardy in winter and this alone justifies the City's decision for winter closure.Second, last vear's \u201csuccessful\u201d experiment, according to the rush-hour observations conducted bv the Citv over a 12-dav period, recorded 12 cvclists per hour on the eastern limits and six per hour on the western limits.Third.the winter opening does not \u201cconnect\u201d NDG to Montreal, as the NDG bike path is closed during the winter.Fourth, the assertion that the bike path was closed for only five davs last winter is belied by the letters from cyclists published in the Examiner at that time complaining of slow and improper snow removal by the City and snow mounds created bv private contractors obstructing the path.Winter closure.according to 2010 Vélo- Québec statistics, does not diminish the increased use of active transportation \u2014 the de Brébeuf and St-Hubert street bike paths have 13 20 GREENE AVENUE ë > * Indepen paged and operate 514.933 chimbed to between 4,000 and 6,000 dailv users despite winter closure and the subscription base for Bixis (closed during the winter) went from 11.000 in 2009 to 30,000 in 2010.The WCSC agrees with Ms.Dumais's assertion that \u201cCyclists deserve the same considerations as car drivers and not be treated as second class commuters.\u201d Westinonnt has clearly defined arterial streets to accommodate commuter traffic and a proper active transportation alternative using these arteries \u2014 rather than Westmount Park \u2014 should be explored.Finally, the increased use of active transportation warrants the implementation of additional and alternate cycling routes in Westmount that conform to industry safety standards and best practices, and it is our hope thal the imminent Master Traffic Plan will enable the City of Westmount to exercise leadership in this matter.Don Taddeo, Westmount Citizens for Safe Cycling Learn by Saskatchewan's example To the editor: We now went awav from Davlight Savings Time \u2014 retour à l'heure normale \u2014 but 1s standard time really normal?1 think not.Not only is every human affected by the time change, but so are cows (the milking time is changed).In the spring we will have another time change affecting all of us, except the people of Saskatchewan, who do not change the clock twice a year.We should follow Saskatchewan's example.Gerald Glass, Metcalfe Avenue Send the editor an email: larsenw@transcontinental.ca DÉS SH NS ET RRR C orrection Due to a notary\u2019s error, the Examiner recently published the wrong information concerning the sale of 79 Holton in July.The sale price and names of the vendors were published incorrectly.In fact, the vendors were Armand de Santis and Jeanne d\u2019Arc Bouthillette, and the correct sale price was $690,000.The Examiner regrets the error.To Enjo oy Hassle- TranagilhT Free Real Estate Transactions G -

The 1970's marked the arrival of the baby boom generation into adulthood, and demand for housing increased significantly.At the same time, in Westmount the notion of \u201curban renewal\u201d in the southeast sector, which wrought the demolition of houses on both sides of Wood Avenue and the north side of Dorchester Boulevard, had changed significantly as architects, renovators and the vounger generation took an interest in restoring the old houses and making them treasures for future generations.With the demand for these houses soaring, Marion Ethel Lamb was able to more Continued on page 16 bb» Diane Victoria Boucher Rebecca Henderson Elsie Maude Lovelace et al John W.Patrick Maurice Bourret Bertha Roosens Gédéon Buteau Telco Administration Inc.Katherine Nadine Harty Katherine Nadine Harty Marion Ethel Lamb Marion Ethel Lamb Jean-Paul Cousin Gerald W.Schwartz Frank L.Rubin John W.Patrick Maurice Bourret Bertha Roosens Gédéon Buteau, Telco Administration Inc.Jean Paul Cousin Gerald W.Schwartz Frank L.Rubin Samuel Bruce Heister & Eleanor Wright Black Samuel Bruce Heister & Eleanor Wright Black André Bruneau & Anna Alfaro 30 Jul, 1999 $442,969.12 André Bruneau & Anna Alfaro Maxine Cohen 23 Apr, 2003 $795,000 Maxine Cohen Alexandra Mary Nercessian 18 Jun, 2004 $840,000 Alexandra Mary Nercessian Kaplan Family Trust 17 Jun, 2007 $1,050,000 Kaplan Family Trust Artashes Tournanov 22 Nov, 2010 $1,030,000 Artashes Tournanov Syivie Pouliot » www.westmountexaminer.com - Westmount Examiner - Thursday, November 10, 2011 - 15 ms NEE or 4 vin - ax 5p.m.[ A ce Sea opm x X PORT 2011.\u201cwd LH Sh x 9a.m.== ag 3 J EE & qu Grr nis ren Sat fpyunn pre Th EY uN Wis |A rebate applicable on purchase of na nal Mon.- .[] [] Er a \u201cni ly x au A 3 -1056 a 0 ys.® an r | 4 369 .= Se tir .(TERT À * a @< 2 » CL 3 Le À oO tr \u2014\u2014\u2014 hl à vues à i > v3 F 7 : \u20ac at | LS | $23 I Be A co pre 7 ae i A sé \\ A Ci - zc 21 = =) J ow 0 à A TE) Ed | A 3 4 Le \u20181 ie om y 12 A 4 = En } sanementsant = 53 Va nN 2) UK JA ÿ 1 i 2 La \u2014\u2014 rr i!

Oh! They are.mmm.\" she said, glancing up with a smile as if witnessing delectable, butter-nutty goodness from above.rE +, The annual Westmount Artisan Festival is always a colourful event.\u201cThe artisan [who bakes them] actually lives just across the street froni me.She had a nice big box ready, but I didn\u2019t even want to see [them] beforehand.Too tempting.\u201d The festival, now in its 13th vear, raises donations for the Westmount Public Security Unit's annual food drive for families in need, while showcasing the work of artisans from the city and beyond.Admission is $2 or a nonperishable food item, both of which go directly to the food drive.This is the first year Wagner will be organizing the event without her partner and founder of the event, Ilyse Segal, who passed away this June.The festival was dedicated to her memory this year.The extravaganza will feature ceramics.knits, one-of-a-kind blown glass, pottery, baked delicacies, jewellery and woodtuming \u2014 among other things.To showcase their craft and sell their worktables will be set up for the 36 artisans in Victoria Hall.The two-day festival runs from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m.this Saturday and Sunday.Nov.12-13.\u201cWhat really makes the show beautiful is Victoria Hall.\u201d said Wagner.\u201cThe chandeliers are lowered.and with evervthing, it\u2019s reallv something.\u201d Such a majestic venue is rare for artisan shows, Wagner continued.\u201cI don\u2019t know of another [event] with such a venue.Usually it's just a gym or a basement, so we are real thankful to the city for letting us use it.\u201d City officials are known to stop by, and Wagner said she thinks it shows how events like the artisan festival can bring together the community and its representatives.\u201cWhat's nice when the council comes is, to everyone, it makes them really feel like part of Westmount.\u201d Local café La Foumagerie will be set up onstage as a makeshift café providing coffee, refreshments and desserts.From up there, Wagner said, \u201cvou can really see everything!\u201d 'LET'SGOON A MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE Ë LOOK FOR * THE WEEKLY CLUE IN THE CLASSIFIED ADS SECTION AND BECOME A FINALIST DETAILS AND CONTEST RULES ARE ON YOUR NEWSPAPER WEBSITE TO PARTICIPATE FILL IN THE COUPON ON LINE Presented by the Classified Ads (all Centre of Transcontinental Media Newspaper Group.In the case of major unforeseen events, Transcontinental reserves the right to offer a similar product.This Prize is non-transferable and may not be redeemed f , In any way for cash or goods.ants?JOIE ph FIDELITY!
