The Westmount examiner, 10 juillet 1980, jeudi 10 juillet 1980

[" Atlantic sail ends happily for local men Two Westmounters, an N.D.G.man and a resident of Hudson sailed their 35-foot sailboat Eminence Grise into port at Villa Moura, on tne south coast of Portugal, Friday evening, completing a three-week Atlantic crossing.Insurance broker Pierre Desjardins and urologist Dr.Douglas Ackman teamed up with Doug Daillie of N.D.G.and Richard Hamilton of Hudson for the voyage, during much of which they faced gale force winds and waves up to 20 feet high.The wives and children the men left behind were relieved to hear from the sailors that they had arrived safely.'*I was overjoyed to get a telephone call from my husband at 10 o'clock Saturday morning,\u201d Mrs.Jane Desjardins said.Mrs.Patricia Ackman heard the exciting news from her 44-year-old husband on Sunday.The Eminence Grise, a Niagara 35, sailed from Nantucket on a starboard tack to the Azores.When they arrived at the eastern Atlantic islands, Mr.Desjardins cabled his wife, saying they would land in Portugal on July 4, which they did.Taking the port tack from the Azores, however, they fought strong winds all the way.Winds kept up at gale force 10 for 36 hours, stirring up waves 20 feet high.They landed Friday at Villa Moura, 20 miles west of Faro on Portugal\u2019s south coast, after 21 days and 10 hours at sea.Mr.Desjardins, who was 45 yesterday, is well known in sailing circles, having competed in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome.The Desjardins have two children, André, 16, and Claire, 15.The family sailed the canals of France in a smaller boat a few years ago.Dr.Ackman, who is on the staff of the Montreal General Hospital, gave a paper yesterday in Madrid and is expected home tomorrow, while Mr.Desjardins is hoping to fly home Sunday.The Ackmans have five children: Wendy, 21, Michael, 20, Bruce, 18, Connie, 6, and Jake, 5 Both Mr.Desjardins and Dr.Ackman are members of \\_ the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club.Birds died from poison: Pick the candidate

parkiHg By ANDY DODGE A STONE-FACED city council confronted nearly 100 angry citizens at city hall Monday night, and the solons carefully deflected numerous comments, criticisms, complaints and suggestions about the city\u2019s latest parking proposals.A notice of motion to present the law faced the vigorous opposition of Ald.David Carruthers, who received a sustained round of applause as he picked apart \u2018\u2018the more restrictive and, I will even say, silly parts of this by-law.\u201d An hour-long discussion of the parking regulations following the formal session ended in name-calling, open swearing, vows of civil disobedience and some citizens storming from the council chambers to hold a counter-rally in what has shaped up to be the greatest council-citizen confrontation in many years.; The heavy friction apparent even at the beginning of the session was not helped by council's method of dealing with the protesting masses: Mayor Donald MacCallum fielded

\u2018by-law concerning good morals and decency\u2019 reads: \u2018\u2018No person shall trap, catch or kill, wound or otherwise injure with any fire-arm or other weapon, or with sticks or stones or in any other way whatsoever, any insectivorous bird or any birds Continued on page 12 promise that his answer would \u2018'\u2018become apparent later,\" after the citizens had had their say He then offered a general discussion of what he viewed to be the problem, and allowed Public Safety Commissioner Ald.P.André Gervais, one of the main architects of the parking rules, to add some of his own comments.Many of the questions and arguments remained unanswered by the end of the evening, however, leaving a bad taste in the mouths of the desperate citizens, who went home discouraged at council's seeming inability to reason with them.Mayor MacCallum even suggested that he and council members (Alds.Brian Gallery, Muriel Kaplan and Alwyn Lloyd never said a word) were being \u2018\u2018insulted\u2019\u2019 by the angry crowd, laughingly asking part Continued on page 14 000000 roevoeveuvé MORE INSIDE Full coverage of Monday evening's council-citizen controntation on the

intensive campaign for the vacant Ward 3 al- dermanic seat will get under way with a candidates\u2019 meeting next Tuesday at 8 pm at Victoria Hall, sponsored by the Westmount Municipal Association.Already Sheldon Lipsey has started knocking on doors throughout lower Westmount, though JoAnn Issenman, who announced her candidacy two weeks ago, plans to \u2018\u2018blitz\u2019\u2019 the ward only next week.Nominations do not close officially until next Monday at 2 pm, but Mr.Lipsey and Mrs.Is- senman are the only two yet to have announced their candidacies publicly.City Clerk Peter Patenaude announced Friday that the ward has 4,465 qualified voters.According to provincial electoral regulations, this would mean each candidate could spend up to $2,336.25 on the campaign.The WMA session promises to be the best chance for citizens to compare the two candidates in a head-to-head confrontation, though they appear to differ little on the issues.The campaign will be based on

perience, it appears, with Mr.Lipsey weighing heavily on his belief that citizens should have a chance to debate issues openly before decisions are made.Mrs.Issenman, meanwhile, stresses her 15 years as an active member of the Westmount community, both as a mother, as initiator of community programs and participant on various organizational bodies such as the Westmount YMCA and the board of St.George's School.Parking top concern Both point to the overnight parking debate as the overriding citizen concern in the area and both agree the law should be withdrawn for further consideration.They also note a general concern about recreation programs, specially for girls, teenagers and senior citizens, and about noise from trains at night (see separate article).Mrs.Issenman also suggests that Ward 3 voters are concerned about general disrespect of Westmount's parks, including mischief, vandalism and encroachment of others\u2019 rights.Guard dogs are not the answer to
