tabling of the 2012 municipal budget, and only that subject was up for discussion.Well, to no one\u2019s surprise, as soon as question period opened it wasn't long before the Westmount Recreation Centre came up, in relation to the budget.Clearly frustrated at having to field the samme questions regarding the arena, City Councillor Patrick Martin confronted questioner Mavis Young \u2014 and several of the assembled residents known to oppose the project \u2014 with some candid comunents of his own.Addressing the longstanding problems of misinformation and misunderstanding that have plagued the debate for the past few vears, Martin stressed the importance of getting the facts straight.\u201cI'd be happy to meet with you any time.at your convenience,\u201d Martin told Young, \u201cI have said the same directly and indirectly to Mr.(David) Ludimner, to Mr.(Patriek) Bamard, to Georgina Smith, and others, the people on Lansdowne.I'd be happy to meet with vou.\u201cCan we discuss it, so we can at least agree on what are the facts?\u201d Martin continued.\u201c1 have no problem with people disagreeing with me or with council, but as long as it's based on a common understanding of the facts.I have never had one person come to me and sav.\"Okay.let's talk.\u201d Not one person in three vears has ever taken me up on ny offer You know we all have day jobs, and come here and do our bit for the citv and we reach out to vou and sav.You want to talk.we're willing to talk.\u201d And I've never had one person sav.\u2018Let's have coffee.let's go to vour house, or vou come to my house or we'll go to Second Cup.\u2019 Not one person who has been critical of the {arena) project hus ever said \"Let's sit down and talk facts\u2014 and then we can decide whether we disagree or not.\u201d Kudos to Patrick Martin for reaching out to disgruntled residents.Hopefully a few of them will accept Ins offer and sit down for a quiet WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM NATURAL SCIENCE NOTES THE LE APEGOAT conversation rather than a heated debate.The endless sniping back and forth in print may still be entertaining to some readers, but it has certainly lost its lustre for most; dramatic exchanges at the microphone might liven up an otherwise uneventful cite council meeting, but they only lead to more animosity.The two sides are obviously no closer together on this verv important issue.A few quiet, civilized discussions, off the record and away from the public eve, are what this debate needs.Who knows \u2014 if that were to happen.the New Year might bring a more tempered and mformed quality to the discussions.Arena plan ignores tough economy To the editor The most frequenth asked question on the streets of Westmount is not \"How are vou?\u201d but \u201cHow can this council keep saving that there are only a small handful of people who are against the proposed $37 million-plus, two adult-size underground hockey arena project\u201d IHis time to help our council out so they will nol continue to make this mistake m public anvmore.Docs Westimount's council expect that all 2,150 people who signed the petition \"Change Westmount Arena Plan\u201d to meet at the Bell disapproval?Even Victoria Hall could not hold this many people who not only disagree with them but who are dismayed and angry about the rate that their tax dollars have been spent and what is going to happen with their future tax dollars.The handful of people the mavor and his council refer to numbers more than 400 handfuls.Here is the truth this council will not face: The 2.150 handful of people do not want what is being planned for the park using their tax dollars.and ves this includes the grants, which ouly cover some of the costs.and which.bv the wav.are the tax dollars that have come out of the pockets of citizens living everwhere in Canada.What makes what 1s going on and what has taken place more shocking is that the mavor and his council continue to ignore the difficult economic conditions that the entire world is suffering through.Both the mavor and his oblivious to the tough times people are trving to deal with: and ves this also includes people who live in Westmount.Happy Holidays, and may the New Year bring out the better in people.Larry Klepper, Ste.Catherine Street SEND US YOUR LETTERS!

says Westmount needs its own organograin \u2014 a chart establishing the chain of command in the borough.Addressing Montreal city council last week, Marks said that when the megacity\u2019s planners created organograms showing how each of the 27 boroughs was to operate its services, they decided to use the same one for all the suburbs as for the districts of the City of Montreal.Marks satd that Westinount and other suburbs, which had a more complex structure supplying services as municipalities, should have been allowed to tailor their existing municipal organograms to their own needs.\"Every borough was given the same organogram to put into place,\u201d said Marks.\u2018My understanding was that these organograms were created for the new City of Montreal boroughs because they don't have a structure, but they were then passed on to all the rest of us for us to also assume.\u201d FIFTEEN YEARS AGO DECEMBER 19, 1996: SENTENCE IS APPALLING: \u201cThe fiancé of Lyanne

TOULA\u2018s TAKE TOULA.FOSCOLOS@TRANSCONTINENTAL.CA The Canadian government recently announced that from now on Muslin women must take off or hft their veil when taking the oath of citizenship.According to Immigration Munister Jason Kenney.it's a matter of principle.Whose principle, I'm not quite sure.The new rule is based on nothing concrete; nothing but unfounded fears and anecdotal evidence.It's a discriminatory solution to a problems that doesn\u2019t even exist.It unmediately brought to mind the recent troduction of a \u201ccode of conduct\u201d for newcomers put together by the City of Gatineau, which left a bitter taste in my mouth and was justifiably lambasted by La Presse colunmist Pierre Foglia.It was Hérouxville all over aga.According to Salam Elmenvawi,

society and how governments seek to limil or ban it completely.As a woman.|, too, sometimes have a knee-jerk reaction to it.Face coverings are problematic because of what they represent.not because of what they are.They don't exist in a cultural vacuum: they are usually associated with the subjugation of women and mans things that run counter to a hiberal society However.as someone who - at the

believing the arguments presented, least of all the two main principles the Canadian government seems to pretend the ban will defend: gender equality and secular public institutions.What bothers me about our perceptions dictating legislation is that Canada is chauvinistically claiming that we, as a country, have already achieved gender equality and now seek to enforce it with immigrants coming here.With, you know.the ones who \"don't know any better.\u201d To say that reeks of paternalism is an understatement.Gender-based violence and poverty are still real issues here.We live in a world where leaking a sex tape and faking a marriage lands vou and vour familv on Barbara Walter's Most Fascinating People of 2011.We're nowhere close to having achieved gender parity, and preventing a handful of women from becoming Canadian citizens because thev choose to wear a niqab does nothing to rectifv that reality.It may feel like a victory, but it's a hollow one.As for our staunch commitment to secularism, it\u2019s inconsistent and hypocritical to say the least.One can hardly demand visible symbols of one\u2019s faith are limited and/or purged from public places, while protecting others the majority deems acceptable.If we want to preach secularism, it should be all or nothing.More importantly, whether some see the nigab as a blatant practice of gender inequalitv (as many unequivocally believe) or a mere exercise of choice, it doesn't really matter.The real question we should ask ourselves is this: Is the niqab really a security issue (like Minister Kenney insists, and | see no evidence of such assertion) or does it simply offend our Western sensibilities?And if it isn\u2019t a security issue, are we comfortable\u2019 with laws that simply allow us to navigate uncomfortable issues the wav we would a cafeteria: picking and choosing what we want, ignoring what we don't?Hermann Hesse said: \u201cIt is not our purpose to become each other: it 1s to

Westmount Historical Association Invited people to share their experiences of participating in sports in Westmount \u2014 resulting in a warm evening of nostalgia in the Library last Thursday.Residents gathered in the Westmount Room to talk about their vouthful davs of skiing, skating, tobogganing, lawn bowling, and games at the Westmount Athletic Grounds.As an example of the extent to which the City of Westmount has initiated and supported sports programs for residents, WHA member Mark Boundy presented interesting findings for parks beginning 100 vears ago.In 1911.he read from the Annual Year End Reports, the parks capital expenditures were $157,717 with $342 of that going for the making and clearing of skating rinks.In 1915, the City spent $2.216 on maintaining skating rinks.In 1930 thev listed 10 hockey and skating rinks and 4.180 passes were issued.Tennis was also extremely popular.\\Vestmount maintained 18 tennis courts, 12 in Westmount Park.four in Murray Park and one each in Devon and Selby parks.A Westmount Cricket Club was organized in 1931, and participated in the Montreal City and District Cricket League.There was no shortage of personal memn- ories.Nancy Walking talked about 1960s winter skating and carnivals at the arena, while Barbara Moore recalled \"moving to Westmount in the 1940s and going up above Sherbrooke Street to skate in Prince Albert Park in the evenings.\u201d Other stories about skating were retold by Susan Wibe from her stepmother, who had lived near Murray Park.The Westinount Athletic Grounds featured strongly in her memory.During the winter there was music to skate to ever, Fridav night, and she remembered them as having a large track and field meet every spring.\u201cI learned how to ski in Murray Park,\u201d she recalled.\"There was a really good toboggan run down.| also roller-skated down to Roslyn School.\u201d Westmount Lawn Bowling Club vice- president Richard Menear bronght stunning posters that he had designed.He spoke about remventing tradition.Westmount has 65 active bowlers this vear and thev are recruiting new vounger members.The club likes to start neu traditions.In 2006 they initiated a tournament for the employees of the Citv of Westmount WHA member Mark Boundy discusses the history of Westmount's parks during last week's meeting.Photo: Doreen Lindsay that has expanded to 12 teams of four plavers each.Richard Lord.who attended Queens School before going vn to Westmount High.recalled the time when Richard Holden told hum that if they started à team in Stayner Park he would pay for it.When asked, Lord responded that no, the kids did not play in the Grey Nuns property above Ste.Catherine Street.\u2018The nuns reserved that land for cultivating, Wendy Scott e-mailed her memories of skating in Murray Park.\"My first attempts al skating were in the rink that is now a tennis court in the summer \u2014 first on cheese-cutters, then after | had had a couple of lessons, on white figure skates,\u201d she wrote.\"We tobogganed downhill there, sometimes on the icv shde.what a thrill.\u201d She also remembered skating in Westmount Park \u201cThe meandering pond wm front of the changing house was shaped somewhat like the Serpentine in London, and | remember that there were coloured lights and music.\u201d she wrote.Martha McKenna showed a photograph of herself with her brother and sister after she explained how they would ski from their house on Sunnyside Avenue across the Westmount Summit.first packing down the snow with WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM ph.LA fs - J their skies.Some Sundays they would ski down the gully to Côte-des-Neige then up and across the Montreal Mountain and home again.David McCall sent a reproduction of the Constitution of the Westmount Golf Club that wis founded on 20 April 1900.These recollections will be added to the information gained in the first three sessions about Sports in Westmount and combined in the WHA newsletter to be published in February.Doreen Lindsay is president of the Westmount Historical Association.The best offers at CADEAU GIFT For the holiday season, give the @
