[" LJ Vol.LX, No.29 Making all of Westmount your home Westmount PQ, H3Z 2Y8, Thursday, July 14, 1988 BEATING THE HEAT: Oily debris finally had to be dumped from a container onto the street at Lansdowne avenue and St Catherine street Tuesday after an hour- long effort to extinguish the fire left it still smouldering.Story is on page 23.Resident tied up, forced to strip by armed robber A resident of Irvine avenue was forced at gunpoint to strip naked before being robbed of jewelry and cash in his own home Wednesday last week, police report.The man, whose hands, feet and mouth had been taped by the robber, managed to free himself and call police.He was not reported to have been assaulted.The incident occurred about 10:20 pm when the man, returning home from a quick meal at a restaurant, surprised the robber.Police said he had left the back door open for his dogs during the\u2018absence.The robber was described as a black English-speaking man aged about 27.He wore suede shoes, jeans and a white T-shirt inscribed in blue with the name Pantorama.The victim, who had returned from holidays that night, was identified as a 37-year-old man.The man came face-to-face with the robber in the basement of the home.He was grabbed by the neck and forced to sit on the floor and undress.He was asked to put his jewelry and money in an envelope and was bound with tape around the feet, hands and mouth.Police said the robber probably entered the house during the 20-min- ute period the man was at the restaurant.Items stolen were two rings and two gold chains totalling $2,000 as well as $600 in cash.approved by council ® Animal control cadets start &@ New stop signs, parking rules patrolling parks and dogruns .B Arts Westmount brief submitted to MUC public consultations B

yesterday to 244 property owners in the amount of $156,000, city officials report.To date, a total of 2,500 applications have been received since forms were sent out to all taxpayers a month ago.Anyone who has not yet filed for the payments, which range between $400 and $800, is reminded that the deadline is Aug 2.Smoker's dottle ignites waste Hot ashes from a smoker's pipe started a fire in a wastepaper basket in the office building at 1310 Greene avenue Tuesday last week, fire officials said.Firefighters were called to the scene at 12:18 pm.The smouldering basket was found in a washroom on the fifth floor and the burning contents were extinguished.Fire officers cautioned the person responsible not to discard smoker's material in waste containers.An automatic call to mutual aid firemen from Céte St Luc and Outre- mont was cancelled five minutes later once the source of the problem had been determined.a = CD) \u201cYou need never worry about being replaced by automation,

nomination By CHARLES MAPPIN David Berger has made it official.UE Re veteran member of Parliament{ar Laurier riding came by THE EXAMINER offices Tuesday to announce his intention to go after nomination for St Henri- Westäfg nt.sy a week after Donald John- Sélection, Mr Berger says he\u2019s con- iident he can get the necessary support from local Liberal riding association members to win the nomination, and from local voters to win the seat.Mr Berger is the first person to formally announce his bid for the nomination.\u201cI told Donald Johnston several months ago I'd be interested if he stepped down,\u201d he says, \u201cbut I refrained from approaching the association executive because it would have been inappropriate until Mr Johnston made his final decision.\u201d Mr Berger says he has spent the past week consulting members of the local association's board and executive about the possibility of his running \u201cto make sure I'm not walking on quicksand.\u201d Local support He already has the firm support of Nicole Loiselle, Mr Johnston's riding assistant and a member of the association board.\u201cI think he would make a very good MP for this riding,\u201d Ms Loiselle says.She has been involved with politics since the age of 10 when she campaigned door-to-door for her father, Gérard, who was the MP for St Henri for 22 years until the riding became part of Westmount in 1979.Ms Loiselle accompanied Mr Berger around St Henri earlier this week and says he was well received in the community.MP for the adjacent riding of Laurier for nine years, Mr Berger has been forced to find a new riding because redistribution eliminates Laurier from the electoral map.He says the availability of this riding is timely.\u201cI'm not sure I would have been prepared to go out to somewhere like Laval to run,\u201d he explains.\u201cBut by dint of circumstance, a riding opened up which overlaps my riding.\u201d The 38-year-old politician estimates about 3,000 Laurier voters-are in the realigned St Henri-Westmount riding, which includes most of downtown Montreal with St Laurent boulevard at its eastern border.The new map came into effect yesterday; if an election had been called before then, the old riding map would still have been in use.Mr Berger said he expects a nomination meeting will be held early in the fall, though one would be held sooner if an election is called before then.While he is opposed to the Meech Lake accord, Mr Berger says he has David Berger been able \u201cto walk the tightrope\u201d and work with the Liberal caucus.He says he has strong concerns about the free trade deal and wonders if Canada hasn't given up too much.He says Canadians need to be better informed on the issue.Mr Berger notes the wide variety of economic and social backgrounds of the population of St Henri-West- mount riding, saying he believes it Continued on page 23 | One year after: the day it rained By LAUREEN SWEENEY A year ago today, the rains came down.They fell with such fury that within minutes the hills of Westmount became torrents of rushing white water.Sherbrooke street disappeared in a giant lake.And Noah missed a great marketing opportunity.The torrential rainstorm of July 14 was the worst in memory, leaving many Westmounters to bail out their basements like boats.Water had leaked in through every nook and cranny.It shot up from toilets and drains where sewers could not handle what soon was being called \u201can act of God.\u201d Local firefighters logged 150 calls for help.Damage in Westmount alone was estimated by rity officials at $3 million, judging from 260 notices of claim filed with city hall within 15 days.Although numerous local residents were faced with replacing .ruined carpets and throwing out water-soaked keepsakes, West- mounters as a whole fared better than many others in the MUC.When it came to claiming flood damage from Quebec's disaster fund, however, few Westmount residents were able to qualify since the value of their homes made minimum deductions worth more than the damage suffered.Six months after the storm, 18 individual suits had been filed against the City of Westmount, which had immediately denied liability.Now, on the first anniversary of the storm, the lawsuits remain stalled pending outcome of a class action petition against Westmount and 10 other municipalities (see story last week).Most flood victims have gone ahead and bought their new carpets.And many, last week, were even hoping for more rain as, this year, it was a heatwave that broke the weather records.

Mayors = Westmount city council has approved an expenditure of more than $14,000 as its 1988 share of costs to the Conference of Montreal Suburban Mayors.But council plans to protest the amount of its assessment.Council members question why Westmount should pay $14,293 and the Town of Mount Royal $13,075, for instance, when the city of Outre- mont pays only $10,873.Although the formula for payment is based 50 percent on a suburb\u2019s valuation roll and 50 percent on population, a maximum-minimum capping application creates anomalies \u201cthat don\u2019t quite seem to jive,\u201d explains Peter Patenaude, city director general.The total amount of Westmount\u2019s apportionment \u201cseems strange,\u201d he says.City council's concern over West- mount\u2019s share was voiced by Councillor Phillip Aspinall, finance commissioner, during the vote for approval at the July council meeting Monday night last week.Despite the concern, however, the formula used by the suburban mayors conference remains more equitable than that used by the MUC, Mr Aspinall said.That assessment is based solely on evaluations, with population not considered.A report on Westmount's concern is to be prepared for Mayor May Cutler to present at a subsequent meeting of suburban mayors, accord- Arrested man kicks up fuss and car damage Local MUC police car 23-101 sustained more than $500 damage Saturday when a suspect went on a kicking rampage after being put into the cruiser at Sherbrooke street and Elm avenue, police report.The suspect has been charged with two counts of damage as well as resisting arrest in connection with the incident.The 36-year-old Montreal man had \u201cbeen arrested about 1:28 pm for allegedly letting air out of a truck tire at the corner.He was sent downtown to police headquarters to undergo psychiatric examination.Police said the cruiser\u2019s back door frame was bent by the kicking so that it did not close properly.The damaged truck was a white 1987 Hino belonging to a Montreal man.Cut loose Someone stole a bicycle locked toa stop sign pole Friday at the southeast corner of Elm avenue and Sherbrooke street, police said.The green and white 1987 Sears

municipalities as supplied by the city shows that capping of the 50-50 formula benefits some larger \" municipalities at the expense of smaller ones.Without the capping application, for instance, Westmount would have paid $12,214 this year compared to Dawson art collection to hang at city hall By LAUREEN SWEENEY The Dawson College art collection has been lent to the City of West- mount for display in city hall until the CEGEP reopens in September at its new Atwater site, Mayor May Cutler annouriced last week.The collection of 26 pieces is expected to arrive at city hall today or tomorrow and is to be hung in the council chamber.The works of 18 contemporary professional Quebec artists, several of whom live in Westmount, are represented.The collection was offered to the mayor on behalf of the college by Westmount painter and etcher Eudice Garmaise.She amassed the collection during her 16 years as a teacher in Dawson's humanities department.Mrs Garmaise, a resident of Burton avenue, retired last year.Two of her works are included in the collection, which has hung in the Viger campus library.The collection was going to be stored over the summer move into the former Mother House building.Not in a vault \u201cMy feeling was that it was pity to put great works of art in a vault,\u201d Mrs Garmaise said.That prompted her to call Mayor Cutler and offer the works to the city for display.Although it hasn't been established yet where the collection will hang in the CEGEP\u2019s new quarters, Mrs Garmaise said she hoped the works will be displayed in the corridors.The college has generally bought one painting every year since 1971 from the annual spring exhibition of paintings organized by Mrs Gar- maise and the humanities students.At the end of the exhibition, everyone at Dawson (students and staff) was given an opportunity to vote for the work which the college would buy for a maximum price of $300.\u201cThe nice thing about this was the involvement of my students who became really enthusiastic,\u201d Mrs Garmaise said.The last piece purchased by Dawson was in 1987 from a special exhibit of work by Mrs Garmaise in honor of her retirement.Several works have been donated, 935-2456 280-2223 935-8531 Local 351 ou 352 935-2066 935-8037 935-8218 935-8444 935-1777 911 the $14,293.Senneville, on the other hand, would have paid only

finding enough heat in the weather not to get worked up about much else.The Supreme Court would do well to bring down its long anticipated decision on Bill 101's strictures on signs about now; a minimum of us should be inclined toward instant reaction.Having said that, there is something on this subject to ponder in the current (July) issue of Saturday Night.Therein is a piece by one Ms Jan Morris, a resident of northwest Wales, who is purported to be an authority on cities, and she takes on our complex metropolis under the title \u201cThe Battle for Montreal.\u201d Ms Morris presents some interesting insights on our island home, many of them the sort of thing which only an outsider might pick up.The rest of us perhapsare too close to our trees to see the forest as it really is, in a world context.The sub-title sums it up: \u201cMontreal\u2019s inner conflicts \u2014 French against English, Church against business, antiquated versus new \u2014 torment but also fuse together the one Canadian city that doesn\u2019t go according to plan.\u201d We commend this article.Having said that, we would share with our readers something which we unexpectedly have drawn from it.It is a sense of irritation that an observant foreigner with apparent ease has put her finger on a number of facets of our problems which probably have escaped most of us who live here.Most important of these, we believe, are some thoughts derived from the lady's style, presumably with the active collaboration of the editors in Toronto.We do not wish to be too subtle, but these relate to the use of language in writing about the language issue.One must keep firmly in mind that Saturday Night is an English-language magazine, also that it has considerable influence across the country among persons who take a serious interest in Canadian affairs \u2014 in which Quebec of necessity looms large.Thus, perhaps the greatest irritant of this article is a slavish insistence upon using French names for places, streets, institutions, titles almost throughout.One wonders if the writer had been taken under the wing of her expatriate fellow Welshperson, Mr David Payne, the maverick transplanted anglophone who in the Lévesque days somehow got himself elected to the National Assembly under the separatist Parti Québécois banner.One doesn\u2019t hear much of him any more, which is a relief to most other anglophones.Then we thought that perhaps this was Ms Morris\u2019 way of introducing additional \u201cflavor\u201d to her piece.If Montreal is predominantly French, use as many French words as decently possible, she might have reasoned.Or it could have been the thinking of some copy-basher at Saturday Night.After all, this is the same magazine which turned cutesy a few years ago and decided to spell Montreal \u201cMontréal\u201d and Quebec \u201cQuébec\u201d wherever the two place names cropped up on its pages.Mercifully, they dropped the silly practice when someone must have pointed out their inconsistency in not using \u201cBruxelles\u201d for Brussels or \u201cRoma for Rome.We are not so concerned as to why the magazine and its writer have sought to Frenchify an English text, making the reading strange and stilted.Rather, it worries us that Saturday Night has such little grasp of the sensibilities of its English-language readers in Quebec, let alone the rest of Canada.We are prepared to admit this may be a generational thing.Undoubtedly there are Quebec anglophones who miss no opportunity to use the French names for whatever their elders and forebears have known almost exclusively by English handles.} But unless Saturday Night has made it its declared mission to promote total franci- zation to Quebec usage Canada-wide, we see no point in it.Besides, the language \u201cpurists\u201d of this province do not need a push from Toronto.English terminology is having a tough enough time as it is without outside subversion.From the time of our first memories, Montreal\u2019s streets were numbered east and west from \u201cthe Main,\u201d or more formally St Lawrence boulevard.Now when we hear anglophones refer to it as St Laurent the image leaps to mind of a municipality to the northwest of Westmount properly called \u201cVille St Laurent\u201d \u2014 quite a different part of our urban community.It can be left to sometime Westmounter Mr Mordecai Richler, who has immortalized the old Jewish sections of Montreal, to comment on how easily St Urbain street .has been abandoned by this great national magazine and become rue St-Urbain.The flavor and atmosphere of place names are important to those who have known them one way and there is something Visitor seeks signs for city\u2019s parking limit Sir: I was ticketed for \u201cparking over five hours\u201d on Kensington avenue recently.As a visitor to your area, I was upset with this ticket.According to the posted signs, 1 was in a designated parking area.Inow find that Westmount has a four-hour limit on parking.Where are the posted four- hour limit signs on Kensington avenue?Perhaps the police and the city should rectify the poor marking of this regulation for non-residents.Helen P.Osbahr Trout Lake Club DIAMOND POINTNY 12824 Departure of Johnston leaves only politicians Sir: Don Johnston sure hits the nail on the head when he says he has \u2018fundamental policy

Quebec French Language Charter implemented extraterritorially from Ontario, to say nothing of Wales.Let it be known that when many of us west- end Montrealers choose to seek out a good restaurant in the area in which the big city was born, we generally go down to Old Montreal.Only in speaking or writing in our best bilingual French would we call it Vieux Montréal.And when we want to have a good Sunday afternoon walk or wish to ski in town in winter, we frequently do it on Mount Royal, in Mount Royal Park.Our francophone friends go up to Mont-Royal.Or, to see and be seen, Sherbrooke street is an old favorite.One also can be seen on rue Sherbrooke, but is not the terminology which first springs to the minds of those whose mother tongue was some variant of English.Need we go on?Hardly.Our point is made, except to point out that with any outcropping of English in La Belle Province there is increasingly suppression, prosecution, graffiti, scorn and worse heaped on its users.However, there is hope.Saturday Night and its writer almost forgot themselves with Dawson College for Collége Dawson and let some franglais creep in with St-Louis Square and St-Joseph\u2019s Oratory (instead of carré and l\u2019oratoire).And our greatest delight was to find that whereas the name of McGill University has not been tampered with, the penultimate paragraph makes a bold and confident reference to the tall companile of \u201cMontreal University!\u201d And all along we thought the Université de Montréal was the one with the companile, where so many of French Canada\u2019s language reformers received their education.Yet, it is an unkind cut to have the few cherished words which the language police have left to us obliterated and substituted by the great Samedi soir, published at 36, rue Tôrontô, Tôrontô.MPs like Don Johnston will be needed in future Sir: I was extremely disappointed with\u2019 Mr Johnston's reasons for submitting his resignation.In my opinion, he is placing a mistaken loyalty to a political party ahead of his responsibility to his country.The Liberal Party is in disarray over the poor policy choices of its current leadership.It is torn by heated \u201c\u2018ethno-centric\u201d nomination battles in the Toronto area and its failure to relate to the socio-economic reality in the Western provinces.So this is no time for people like Don Johnston to jump ship.} His policies are supported by the majority of Canadians in all public opinion polls taken to date.As a national political figure, he represents the majority of Canadians with his outright opposition to the Meech Lake accord and his support of the concept of free trade although he has serious reservations about the present free trade legislation before the House of Commons.Canada faces a storm cloud over its future fiscal viability, with a Parliament that has taken $25 billion a year out of the private sector economy in increased taxation while managing to increase the federal deficit by over $100 billion.Canada is now the world\u2019s second-largest debtor nation (after the U.S.).If we have a major liquidity crisis that in turn triggers financial panic, Canada would be far better served by a Don Johnston in Parliament than some inexperienced lightweight suitable only to the current party leadership.Mr Johnston, in my opinion, was a major disappointment as the senior anglo-ethnic representative for Quebec in the previous Parliament (1980-84).But he has certainly tried to make amends for it in the last Parliament (1984-88) and his behavior is in sharp contrast to the conduct of that pathetic collection from southwestern Quebec that claims to represent this large community in Ottawa and Quebec City.Surely the electorate here and across Canada, who are now deprived of the only reasonable voice speaking for our community on national affairs, deserve better treatment.With a minority government now a definite prospect, strong individual MPs may be the only salvation of parliamentary democracy itself.À major financial downturn could test the viability of the present federal system as regions scramble to protect the solvency of their own specific interests.In my opinion, Mr Johnston should reconsider his resignation and put the benefit of his experience and the value that it would represent in the next Parliament ahead of his disappointment over the treatment met- \u201ced out to him by the present leadership of the Liberal Party.W.A.Sullivan 4444 Sherbrooke street west WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 1E4 Individuals can help fight

would be able to put his ideas on public spending into practice; the minister of state for economic development (ditto, for economic policy); the candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada; the author of Up the Hill; and finally, the crusader against the Meech Lake accord.In all of these incarnations, he has represented us with dignity, intelligence and loyalty.There are many talented people in West- mount, but it is hard to imagine whom we might find who could offer the experience and conviction of a Donald Johnston in representing this constituency.One never got the impression that Don was infected by the narcissism and vainglory that capture so many of the people in our common profession.It is the Donald Johnstons that convince some of us that there is honor and integrity and rectitude as well as calculation and avarice and compromise in public life.If we were lucky to have Donald Johnston, he was lucky in his constituents and in his political friendships, notably his understanding with Mr Trudeau.Westmount fitted Donald like a glove, and he shares with Mr Trudeau a very specific vision of Canada as a certain kind of sum of its constituent parts.It's a

H3Y 2M7 Anglo-Montrealers hurt French outside Quebec Sir: As francophones outside Quebec, in practice our rights started at next to zero, while the rights and privileges of anglophones within that province have been almost 100 percent since Day One.And every time that we criticize the minuteness of the gains afforded to us by our provincial governments, from our starting position of zero, we are inevitably reminded of the harshness that anglophones in Quebec are being subjected to by the reduction of their 100 percent through Bill 101.It is totally unfair.We are actually being held for ransom here largely because of the intransigence of many anglo-Montrealers.The insistence by some that Montreal isnot a French-speaking metropolis and never was historically, is certainly not consistent with the general conception of that city elsewhere.The usual argument in defence, that we are a bilingual country, falls down completely and in fact flies right back in the face of anglo-Montrealers- when that centre is compared to the rest of Canada.The latter is far more unilingually English than Montreal is unilingually French.Despite its now all-French signs etc, greater Montreal is in practice the only really bilingual place in all of Canada.When I go back a few times a year, on the occasion of visiting close relatives in Verdun, although I now definitely hear more French thanI used to, Istill find myself hearing and speaking English almost as much as I did 30 years ago.R.D.Benoiton 8608 Connors road EDMONTON AB T6C 4B4 Seniors should be active in political

approaches IN THE political process, one is constantly casting an eye on what happens elsewhere to find improvements for one\u2019s own system.I recently commented in this column on the advantages of the president\u2019s term in France.Our system has the added uncertainty of no fixed date for general elections.Is this good for long-term or even medium-term planning?Does it make sense to keep the country in a state of election readiness or electoral uncertainty month after month?Government has the advantage in controlling the timing within a five-year term.Election goodies such as tax decreases can be co-ordinated to influence popularity.And sophisticated polling tells the nation\u2019s \u201cleaders\u201d whether they are winning the hearts and minds of grateful taxpayers.The polls, not the Constitution, tell political leaders when to try their luck.Does this make sense?Responsible government in a parliamentary system dictates some uncertainty, but surely there is a better approach than the one we are now subjected to.on earth.For this treasure, and it is a treasure, we owe to Canada one hell of a lot more attention, responsibility and loyalty than merely enjoying those benefits (pension cheques, socialized medicine etc) to which we have claim.Annually, I write between 150 and 200 articles, letters or memos to elected representatives, community leadership, and the media.I belong to federal and provincial political parties.I participate and attend and speak out at meetings and conventions of those organizations.For the sake of a cause, because of my beliefs and my conscience, I put myself where my mouth is.I have picketed for such causes in Ottawa, Quebec City, Montreal and even in Washington, D.C.Efforts that are meaningful require no more than $5 for a political party membership or even just a phone call to your elected representative MP or MNA.A written note to these people, or a visit to their offices, will prove to them that someone out there is watching.The essential point is that we see to it that they represent us, to whom they legally owe such an effort.Instead, their rules of the game dictate that, because of a scourge labelled \u201cparty solidarity,\u201d their loyalties to the political party's leadership lie well ahead of their constituents and their country.In essence, such actions amount to the crime of violating the rights of those who elected them.MPs and MNAs owe us representation and are in those legislatures .Continued on page 23 st 6 - The Westmount A sum of $10,000 has been allocated by city council for a

restrictions come into force.The ban on north and south side parking was approved by city council Monday last week because of the narrow width of the street.Angle-parking for several cars will be allowed at the east end of the street, the cul-de-sac, which ends at King George Park.A request by resident Ulrich Gauthier to curb speeding on Belmont avenue leading onto the crescent has yet to be considered.The speeding matter is under study by city officials.Mr Gauthier was thanked by Councillor Paul Fortin for preparing \u201can excellent brief\u201d which outlined the need to eliminate parking on both sides of the crescent.An initial recommendation by city\u2019s administrative parking committee called for limiting parking on the south side only.Arguments and photographs submitted by the resident supported his concern that it became almost impossible to enter or exit the crescent area when cars were parked on both sides.Concern was raised not only for the inconvenience to residents but also for access by emergency vehicles.Residents of Belmont crescent and avenue have been surveyed by both city workers and Mr Gauthier on the traffic situation.Everyone knows someone

installed on de Maisonneuve boulevard at Redfern avenue, on a trial basis, city council decided at its July meeting Monday night last week.The new stop is intended to slow traffic and resulted from the recent decision not to replace traffic lights at de Maisonneuve and Metcalfe with stop signs (see story June 30).The speed reduction is consistent with a decision to downgrade the Hudson at Clarke to get stop sign City council members agreed Monday last week a stop sign should be installed for eastbound traffic on - Hudson avenue at Clarke.Although, by law, traffic leaving Hudson must yield to the flow on Clarke which is the through street, the stop sign would clearly designate the right-of-way and promote a greater degree of safety, Councillor Paul Fortin said.It was considered warranted due tothe steep incline of the hill and the volume of traffic.The request was made to the city by Councillor Stuart Robertson on behalf of residents on Hudson.Stop in place at Mountain-Anwoth Cars heading up Mountain avenue will now have to stop at Anwoth road.The decision was made by city council at its meeting Monday last week in response to a complaint filed with the city by a resident of Mountain.\u201cSince we already have put in a stop sign at Clarke and Anwoth, we are now doing the same for Mountain,\u201d explained Councillor Paul Fortin, commissioner of public safety.Without the stop sign, traffic is able to drive northbound from Sherbrooke to Montrose unimpeded, he said.This is considered a long stretch for a residential street.A stop sign is already in place at Anwoth facing southbound traffic.Never combine car, sign & vine A red Audi sustained over $500 damage Saturday when it was driven into a no-parking sign and vines on property at the southeast corner of Mount

70 favored the idea, 39 opposed it and one voted for neither.Those opposed were considered to have put forward valid enough reasons for not proceeding with the change at this time.The matter is to be reviewed in 1992 when de Maisonneuve is to be reconstructed.MN become no-stopping Two new no-stopping zones on the south side of St Catherine street, both east and west of Abbott avenue, are expected to help improve the vision of motorists and the safety of school children.The move was approved by city council members at their July meeting Monday last week.Although the two corners have been designated as no-parking areas, delivery trucks stopped at the corners have created a recurring problem for motorists trying to turn from Abbott onto St Catherine, Councillor Paul Fortin explained.Complaints also have been made that vehicles stopping on the southeast comer obstruct the crosswalk monitored by a crossing guard for Westmount Park School.Shops are situated on each corner: Clifford's grocery store at the southeast and Anthony's variety store at the southwest.There has been a loading zone for Clifford's on the east side of Abbott for some time.Designation of the corners as no- stopping zones means that MUC police and public safety officers can ticket immediately, Mr Fortin explained.Vehicles must be given three minutes in a no-parking zone before being ticketed.The no-stopping restrictions will apply east of Abbott for a distance of 70 feet and west of Abbott for 40 feet.Traffic exiting Abbott onto St Catherine has increased over the past several years since the move of St Andrew\u2019s School onto Hillside avenue.Since that street is one-way street westbound the only way to St Catherine from the school is via Abbott.BEXINS COAST-TO-COAST MOVING & STORAGE

KATHLEEN HUGESSEN Westmount dog owners are the target of a new awareness program launched by the city's Public Security Unit and the Westmount Dog Owners\u2019 Association.Penny-Jane Baylis and Mark Hasse, both Westmount residents, have been hired as animal control cadets.For the rest of July they will providing information on municipal animal control by-laws to people walking dogs in Westmount.Their \u201cuniform\u201d is a white t-shirt showing a red happy-face with the slogan \u201cIt's in the bag\u201d and \u201cRépondez à la pelle\u201d printed above and below.The cadets carry a knapsack stocked with literature, pins and plagfpags to hand out to dog-walk- ers.\"ey also have been supplied with a raincoat for inclement weather.Ms Baylis works the morning shift, from 6 am until 2 pm.Mr Hasse is on patrol from 2 to 10 pm.Ms Baylis, 21, will be entering her second year of studies in physiotherapy at McGill this fall.She worked weekends at the Westmount greenhouse during the school year but was looking for summer work when the position of animal control cadet was created.She applied and was accepted.The job involves touring the various dog runs, parks and main arter-

providing information to dog owners.The cadets have no fixed route but have been told which areas need the most attention.They are not responsible for patrolling the summit.Both cadets were briefed by Beryl Parker of the WDOA and by Director McEnroe of the PSU before taking to the highways, by-ways and dog runs of Westmount.On Melville pond \u201cHow do you do?\u201d says Ms Baylis, 21, approaching a dog owner by Melville pond in Westmount Park.\u201cMy name is Penny Baylisand I'm an animal control cadet.\u201d A pleasant exchange ensues during which Ms Baylis explains what she is doing and offers the man, Paul Lennen, a copy of the Westmount Dog Owner\u2019s Guide.He has a few questions which she answers.The dog, Andy, seems to feel left out.He demands attention from both master and cadet \u2014 and gets it.Mr Lennen accepts the Guide and a WDOA button.He indicates that he approves of the concept of animal control cadets and feels that the job is a necessary one.He, like many other dog owners Ms Baylis has approached, feels that a few, possibly uninformed, people are giving all dog owners a bad name.He thanks her and waves as she leaves.\u201cThat\u2019s a pretty typical encounter\u2019 says Ms Baylis.\u201cVery positive.\u201d Peak hours \u201cThe busiest times are 6 to 9 am, because that's dog run time,\u201d says Ms Baylis, \u201cand it picks up again after people get home from work.\u201d She says she feels that the job is an important one but needn't be full time.She says it should be repeated periodically so new residents are informed of regulations.July is probably not the ideal time for the program, as many people are away on vacation.She says patrolling in spring, around April, and in the fall might be more effective.Has she had any run-ins with people who are not taken with the animal control by-laws she is representing?\u201cNot really,\u201d she says.\u201cI don\u2019t do any enforcing.I just let them know that these laws exist and that they should be obeying them.\u201d As a result, she does not approach people whom she knows are aware of the regulations but choose to ignore them.Such people are reported by her to the animal control officer.As part of her duties, Ms Baylis makes note of any comments, suggestions or complaints from dog owners and passes them along to the animal control officer.She says she tries to encourage people to call in to voice their concerns and to ask questions.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, Juy 14, 1988 - 9 Three detained in WHS break-in Three youths were arrested by public safety officers Sunday at the rear of Westmount High after a break-in at the school, police said.Two knives and a wallet were reported stolen.The boys were released unconditionally after consultation with youth protection officials.They were identified as two residents of Ville St Pierre, aged 13 and 16, and a 15-year-old Verdun boy.Public safety officers had been called to the school by a tennis court attendant at the Westmount Athletic Grounds who spotted three persons entering a back door of the school about 12:45 pm.PSOs arrived in time to stop three youths unlocking a bicycle at the rear of the school.They were report- -ed to have admitted being inside the building and were searched at the scene.Two sheathed knives having six- inch and 10-inch curved blades were recovered from one.A wallet containing three bus passes was taken from another.MUC police were called and took the trio in.ANDY DODGE.REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT specializing in Westmount tax valuation appeals C.P 472, suce.Victoria,

speculating in land.It happens every day.Here are some guidelines which may help in reducing the risk factor.Generally speaking, the more you pay for a lot, the surer you are of getting your money\u2019s worth.If you pay x-amount of dollars for a de- in, you may be better off than buying the same lot for one-half the amount before the roads and utilities are built out to it.Development costs vary, but almost anywhere they are rising every year.If you are not a land expert, the most preferred method of buying a lot is to have a real estate professional do your negotiating.His most

Cree 20 446 \u2018July\"\"i4, \u20181988 Brief submitted at public consultations: Arts Westmount advises Arts Council to decentralize cultural control The MUC Arts Council should suggest to each cultural-political region (town or towns) that a local arts committee be established.There are strong arguments in support of decentralizing control of artistic and cultural activities as evidenced by the proliferation and success of local arts festivals.This was one of the points made in a brief presented by Henry Finkel, president of Arts Westmount, to the MUC Arts Council during public consultations into the role and future of the council.In his brief, Mr Finkel emphasizes the importance of the council as a disinterested patron of the arts.By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN \u201cAn arts council.is bound by democratic rules and is more likely to help in areas that might be very doubtful for a commercial sponsor.The cultural enhancement is the important factor.\u201d In determining how best to spend the funds available to the council, Mr Finkel suggests that information is \u201can ideal primary support.\u201d He proposes that a central group, under the control of the council, provide some basic facilities, equipment and technical expertise to artists.\u201cMuch effort and time, meaning money, can be wasted in re-inventing the wheel.\u201d to handle them, call without obligation.THE NEW AND CONVENIENT WAY TO PAY YOUR BILLS Our unique system allows you to pay all your bills (cable, telephone, rent, insurance, etc.) safely and economically from a single payment.You

general, Mr Finkel advocates an open policy on most levels.Artists do not come from any one location or milieu which can be supported.Audience tastes in art and perform- anceare subject to change.As he says in the brief, \u201cany fixed attitude would negate the end result.\u201d Mr Finkel says anything that extends the cultural boundaries of an area is desirable.It is for this reason that he advocates supporting local arts committees.\u201cThere are all kinds of Mozarts, Beethovens and Bachs,\u201d he says, \u201cthat die in the boondocks for want of opportunity.\u201d Local arts committees composed of councillors, professionals in the arts and concerned citizens might permit such undiscovered talent the opportunity it deserves.In addition, they could educate their citizens by \u201cfostering educative exhibitions, theatre and concerts.the classic repertoire, as well as evolving styles.\u201d As to whether the Arts Council should put its resources into professional or amateur efforts, Mr Finkel says, \u2018Anyone who has a presentable performance and an interesting idea should be supported.\u201d He says Dra- matis Personae, Westmount\u2019s amateur theatre group, is a case in point \u2014 all but one are amateurs yet, he says, they produce exciting and presentable work.Provide technology In his brief, Mr Finkel speaks of supporting authors and playwrights with

WRAPPED: The Visual Arts Centre day cam A p held a special art activity in Westmount Park on Tuesday.The theme was packaging.The youngest group (six and seven years) wove leaves and stems with yarns and string and \u2018hung\u201d the leaves on the tree.The eight- and nine-year-old group built wooden frames from designs they had prepared on computers.The frames were painted and covered with plastic for later embroidery.The group of 10- to 12-year-olds shown above wrapped the trees roots with paper and then did crayon rubbings to see the grain of the bark and even drew some roots where none grew.The camp runs weekly until Aug 19 and costs $105 per week.There is art in the morning, lunch in the park (weather permitting) and a variety of activities and outings in the afternoons.For

some petulance There are enough similarities between the '50s and the '80s for Angry Young Man John Osborne's earliest successful play to have - appeal today.The character study of Jimmy, the clever young rebel who is disgusted by money- and success-oriented society is a familiar one, both to those of us who remember the boring '50s and to those who are young today.The '50s were a time when most youngsters knew in high school what they wanted to study later, and exactly what it would pay them.They felt somewhat stifled, as the generation before them had done it all \u2014 the Second World War fought for a cause they could believe in, the splitting of the atom, the development of television, the promise that technology would leave everyone with the problem of what to do with leisure time.Today\u2019s colorless youth are similarly devoted to success and money, and they look back on the 60s as a kind of golden era when youth had a voice, when they stopped the unjust war in Vietnam, reformed the universities, instituted civil rights and the idea of equality for women.There\u2019s nothing much left for them but to become yuppies.In Look Back in Anger Osborne wrote of a charming, dangerous, angry young man.But we find Wayne West portraying Jimmy as a petulant whiner, making everyone miserable and having them put up with it for no reason at all.When we should see simmering anger boil over in an admittedly impotent rage, Mr West gives us a four-year-old's temper tantrum.However, this production does have things to recommend it.Foremost among these is the sensi- street bounding its building on the east side \u2014 avenue du Musée.At the end of the 19th century, the neighborhood, known as \u201cthe golden square mile,\u201d consisted mainly of villas and private

the works in *'L'Art et l'eau\u2019 are by Haut 3e Imperial artists.Ms Franklin's contribution she describes as \u2018\u2018the evolution of time, the impact of civilization on nature and the

front of 4860 Sherbrooke street.The victim believed the thief to have been a woman who pushed past her on the street about 4 pm.Taken from the victim's purse was abeige wallet containing $260 as well

and at her husband, or when she fondly embraces Cliff, the couple\u2019s best friend.Cliff is played by John More, with a wonderful interpretation in the first act.He does tend to fade into the woodwork in the second, only to reemerge as we start tomiss him, inact three, where he has invented some nice bits of business.The set was designed and painted by Jo-Anne Vezina and she has captured the mood that\u2019s needed in the simple visuals of the set.However, the set construction, shared by Ms Vezina with Danny McManus and former Westmounter Kim McKenzie, scrimped rather on solidity.The room shakes as though there were an earthquake if one of the actors brushes against a wall.But one assumes that problem has been solved after opening night and audiences can enjoy the total appearance of the show.One assumes also, once opening night jitters have disappeared, lighting cues and set-dress- ing problems have been solved.Tom Jones plays the sympathetic father who wants his daughter's happiness, but fears it is too late for both of them to rectify the mistakes they have made concerning her marriage.ORIENT n exhibition of Chinese-style paintings by Sharon Sutherland will We believe

Ms LePanse to play the starring role, which is not what the playwright had in mind.Mr West does, however, come close to redeeming himself in the final scene, where he is perceptive and sensitive in dealing with his wife's great grief and despair and offers hope for the future.The production has been directed with restraint and taste by West- mounter Sam LeMarquand.While he must take some of the blame for the production\u2019s faults, he deserves more praise for its virtues.I suspect that this production will improve through its run.Westmounters and Still Available Theatre members Barbara

take medication, 22; bathe, 21; pray, 20; wash face, 19; watch TV, 18; snack, 15; read, 10; listen to music, 9; fix hair, 3; do relaxation exercises, 2; have a backrub, 1.The study revealed that the more pre-sleep activities were changed, the more women reported less sound sleep, more difficulty falling asleep and less satisfaction.Those with routines, even in institutions, reported that they wake less often, sleep more soundly and take less time to fall asleep.They also tend to sleep longer, wake up feeling refreshed and are more satisfied with their sleep.The women who live in their own 488-5639 Accessories + SPÉCIALITÉS ALIMENTAIRES MARCHÉ CÂamotie 4820 OUEST SHERBROOKE WEST, WESTMOUNT- 484-8436 homes or with an adult child sleep longer, wake up less often and experience more satisfaction with sleep than institutionalized women.It seems that it's much more difficult for women in institutions to maintain their bedtime rituals with any consistency.They listen to less music, bathe less often, snack less, watch less TV, read less than women in their own homes.Finally, the findings indicate that these routines do not have to be elaborate.Simply brushing her teeth, washing her face, or praying may satisfy the need to prepare for sleep.Helping women who are in institutions to perform these simple tasks and suggesting to women at home that they not totally abandon these little rituals may help many sleep problems reported by older women.x = = Do you want to learn to swim?Enjoy aerobics in the pool?Improve your stroke?The Westmount recreation department will be giving seniors such an opportunity starting The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, \u2018July \"14, \"1988 '-' 19 Misumi is from Nagasaki, Japan.She is very anxious to learn more about Canada and to meet her new hosts.She enjoys reading, sailing, volleyball and dancing.ASSE International Student Exchange Programs are seeking volunteer host families for Misumi and many other boys and girls from Europe, Australia and Japan.They are 15 to 18 years old, fully insured by ASSE and have thelr own spending money.These qualified and personable young people attend school while here and hope to become a part of your family.PASSE HOST FAMILIES NEEDED Monday, July 18.For one week, from 11 to 11:30 am, till Friday morning, the Westmount pool will be offering this special program.They tell me that if it\u2019s popular, they could extend Please help make a dream come true!

You too! I thought that no one but myself.\u2019\u201d; Soren Kierkegaard on life \u2014 \u201cLife can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards\u201d; D.D.Fisher on mothers \u2014 \u201cA mother is not a person to lean on but a person to make leaning unnecessary.\u2019 Ms Zimmer says that when she is commissioned to do a piece of calligraphy, the client may become involved in the various creative decisions to be made.These can include the size of the paper, the words in the message, the color of the inks.\u201cWhether it is a love poem from a husband to a wife, a recipe toadorn a friend\u2019s kitchen or even a welcome to a new baby,\u201d she says, \u201cthe piece is truly personal and unique.\u201d Non-verbal art Calligraphy has recently begun to function as an art form of its own.There is a new school of calligraphers which feels that the purest and most demanding calligraphy uses the alphabet as a design element only \u2014 not as a means of conveying a Marion Zimmer Photo by VALERIE TETLEY message.Ms Zimmer says she subscribes to this way of thinking, especially since completing half the courses required for her fine arts degree from Concordia University.\u201cTo me there is great excitement on the paper when there are several media involved in creating a piece of art,\u201d she says.This style of calligraphy i is called non-verbal art and it is the style of the pieces which Ms Zimmer displayed last year at Arts Westmount.Computers are able to produce perfectly-formed letters and are able to create wonderful graphic designs.So the question arises, why do calligraphy when a computer can do it \u201cbetter\u201d?Ms Zimmer replies, \u201cWith computers, the one element left off the page is the joy and frustration inherent in making letters \u2014 that striving to make the perfect letter, the struggle to create a harmonious rhythm.The process of putting pen to paper is what calligraphy is all about.\u201d Ms Zimmer teaches at the Visual Arts Centre on Victoria avenue, gives private lessons and is working on the committee for Arts West- mount.For further information, she can be contacted at 487-2653.Buyers, sellers,

BERGER.Continued from page one # has the highest population of bilingual voters in the country.\u201cThe riding is perhaps a microcosm of Canada.\u201d \u201cI'm more concerned about the .NDP in this riding than the Tories,\u201d he says, adding that he has already begun a little campaigning on NDP turf.\u201cI'm planning as much as possible to run an issue-oriented campaign.\u201d The NDP chose its candidate, economist Ruth Rose, at a nomination meeting several weeks ago.The local Conservatives have yet to pick their hopeful.: First elected in '79 Mr Berger was first elected to the House of Commons in the May 1979 general election.He was re-elected in February 1980 after the fall of the Clark Conservative government, and again in the Tory landslide of September 1984.In the Trudeau government of 1980 to 1984, Mr Berger served as parliamentary secretary to the minister of state for small business and tourism, and then as parliamentary secretary to the minister for consumer and corporate affairs.Since October 1984, he has been the official opposition critic for science and technology.He recently submitted a comprehensive policy paper to the Liberal Party outlining his view of the critical role of science and technology in shaping the future for Canadians.\u201cI would hope much of the material I worked on will be reflected in the party's priorities in the next campaign,\u201d he says.Earlier this year, he was named a director of the Canadian Centre for Arms Control and Disarmament.Before politics Before getting into politics, Mr Berger was vice-president of the Montreal Alouettes Football Club, president of the Canadian Football League eastern conference, and then president of the CFL.His father, Sam, was owner of the Alouettes for many years and is still active in business.He received his bachelor of arts degree from the University of Toronto in 1971 and his bachelor of civil law from McGill in 1975.Mr Berger is married with one daughter.He lives in his present riding, just east of St Laurent boulevard and the new border of St Henri- Westmount.Theft at condo Construction equipment valued at $4,000 was missing from the condominium project

difficult to snuff By LAUREEN SWEENEY A stubborn garbage fire in a construction site container took firefighters more than an hour to put out Tuesday afternoon outside the 200 Lansdowne project.The blaze, which fire officials said started by spontaneous combustion, shot flames 20 feet into the air.It was fuelled by oily rags, oil drums and other debris piled high in the container.Although firemen poured two streams of water onto the burning contents for an hour after their arrival about 1:16 pm, the fire continued to smoulder at the bottom of the container.\u201cIt just wouldn't go out,\u201d said Fire Captain James Adams.He finally had a container truck tip up the large receptacle to dump the remaining debris on the street.Firefighters finally were able to reach the fire's source.Sprinkler makes heat A continuing dispute between neighbors on Victoria avenue near Windsor avenue resulted in a cooling complaint Saturday in the midst of the heat wave.This time, the complainant was reported to have told public safety officers that watering from next door was hitting her cedar hedge as well as a picnic table.The container had been parked on the northwest corner of Lansdowne avenue and St Catherine street for about a week in the extreme heat, workers told fire officials.This was believed to have resulted in the spontaneous combustion.Damage, estimated at $500, was confined to the paint on the blue container.Man bitten in doggy dust-up A 39-year-old N.D.G.man was bitten by a dog in King George Park last Thursday as he tried to break up a dog fight, police report.The victim had taken his own dog to the park about 1:30 am when it became involved in a fight with an Airedale that bit the man on the Knee as he tried to separate the dogs.The man went to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.Police said the incident report did not specify whether the dogs had been on leashes at the time or if the fight had occurred on the dog run.Keys found Keys to a General

by the Public Safety Unit came this unusual call for help Friday morning.This time the resident did not want to be rid of raccoons, but rather to re-unite a raccoon family.Residents of 494 Lansdowne

Tuesday last week in front of 4054 Dorchester boulevard, police report.The thieves loaded it into a blue Chevy van and drove off.The incident occurred about 11:15 am just as the ladder's owner returned in time to witness the theft.The thieves were described as white men in their early twenties wearing jeans.One had a shirt of many colors, the other a white T shirt.The ladder was valued at $250.Continued from page five to act for us, not for some political bosses.Let us seniors remember to remind legislatures that it is we who have had a mighty share in helping to build this marvelous country.It is we who have raised families here, and it is we who must be listened to before our country, in which we have such an enormous stake, is put through the unnecessary life-threatening surgery that is the Meech Lake accord.Senior citizens were prepared to demonstrate on Parliament Hill for reasons that were mercenary; the present authoritarian, expedient and arbitrary ripping up of our country\u2019s constitution by power-hungry politicians provides far better reason and call of duty upon us to go to Ottawa and, in no uncertain manner, tell those so-called elected representatives to start representing their constituents before they genuflect for their caucus chiefs.My friends of the grey-haired regiments, please, please, do participate in our beauti- ful country's political process.Try it, believe me, you will like it.You and I, we own all of this treasure of a country; the time has arrived for us to speak out, loudly and clearly, so that we shall be not only heard, but listened to.Reuven Carin PO Box 664 PIEDMONT PQ JOR 1K0 Reader finds fault with report, letter Sir: THE EXAMINER reported last week that at last week's council meeting I had \u201casked for a council response to my letter to Mayor Cutler requesting that additional information be added to work permits\u201d and that \u201cher worship had replied she did not know of the letter or the issue\u201d and that \u201cCouncillor Paul Fortin said he thought council should discuss it and then reply.\u201d The report followed that I had \u201cthen tabled another letter dealing with pollution outside West- mount\u2019s borders (see You Say column).\u201d Mayor Cutler did not say then, \u201cShe did not know of the letter or the issue.\u201d If she had I would have followed it with a question as to where my letter \u2014 personally delivered to the mayor's office and THE EXAMINER on June 14th and printed in THE EXAMINER the following week \u2014 had gone.The mayor asked me then \u201cto elaborate\u201d on the contents of my letter for members of the council who may not know of it.I did and Councillor Fortin had responded as noted above, A propos the letter I tabled at the council meeting last week, it did not deal only with \u201cpollution outside Westmount borders\u201d and my request for the PSU to witness pollution incidents.In fact, my letter dealt with pollution incidents both inside and outside West- mount and my request to Westmount\u2019s services department to act as such witnesses \u201cmore than once, only to be told that it was not the city's job but the MUC\u2019s,\u201d thus correcting the erroneous record of my question in the unofficial minutes of the March 7 council meeting.Curiously enough, thecopy of my letteras printed in last week's EXAMINER had a major section following its opening sentence left out to render the remainder conforming to Mrs Sweeney\u2019s EXAMINER report.As editor, working within many constraints, you have the final say as to what appears in your newspaper.In this case, however, some important sections had been left out, and a couple of dots after the opening sentence would have clearly indicated the omissions in the printed version of my letter.This would have been-an effortless, but I believe necessary, addition in conformance with the standards of excellence in reporting the truth and service to the community for which THE EXAMINER has in the past and continues to receive well-deserved awards.R.H.Ferahian 4998 de Maisonneuve boulevard WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 1N2 Editor's Note: We stand by our story of last week.The excised section of the letter was an extract from council minutes removed because of its length.

It was just wonderful!\u201d Ms Walser has been a member of Créations Etc since May of this year.\u201cIt really changed me,\u201d she says.\u201cPeople are saying to me, \u2018What's happening to you?You're changing.\u2019 It's true.You have your own circle of friends, especially when you live in Westmount, and it\u2019s always the same people.but when you join something like that, everybody\u2019s from all over the place.you find out about different people and it\u2019s just really fun!\u201d Although she is not sure that she will remain with Créations Etc until she is 21, the upper age-limit for members, she does hope to continue \u201cfor a while.\u201d Her joining the organization came about as a result of her mother's meeting Clare Schapiro, a fellow Westmount resident and founder and artistic director of Créations Etc.Started in 1979 Ms Schapiro launched the group in 1979 in response to her concern for children\u2019s rights and to her belief that young people are not used to recognizing and achieving their full potential.Experienced in writing and directing and with a background in education and law, Ms Schapiro established Créations Etc for five- to 21-year-olds.Its mandate, according to public relations manager Valerie Tannage, is to provide a forum for young people to express their concerns about social and global issues in terms of theatre, dance and music.The young people are responsible for the whole process, from conception, research and writing to performance, technical production and public relations.Créations Etc is now largely gov- ernment-subsidized and is administered by a small staff of qualified adults.It is part of an international network which will be holding its fourth international festival of theatre, music and dance, Aug 4 to 13, at Montreal\u2019s Old Port.Contributors have been invited from Australia, Austria, France, Israel and the U.Sas well as from across Canada to take part in the bilingual festival, Réalité Jeunesse \u201988.There will be a total of nine shows during the festival, four in English, four in French and one play for which music, dance and direction are all handled by the members of the troupe.The material will be showcased five times during the 10-day festival.Anniversary ahead Planning for Créations Etc\u2019s 10th anniversary next May is also under way.Members will be collaborating with other Montreal theatre groups for that celebration.Already in the works is a chocolate festival to be held on St Valentine\u2019s day as a fund- raising event.Créations Etc members have toured locally, nationally and inter- YOUNG SCIENTIST: Westmount resident Sima Newell, left, receives the Suncor Energy Award from Zebulon Munro, a renowned aeronaut who holds 28 international aviation records.Sima and 81 other student-scientists from across Canada participated in a national symposium where they worked with inventors from across North America.Creating inventions which fulfill real needs, as well as thought-provoking discussions on the invention process from drawing board to marketing were part of the experience.Sima earned an all-expenses-paid trip to .the Toronto symposium by winning the Suncor Energy Award at the Montreal Regional Science Fair held earlier this year.The award and the symposium are sponsored by Suncor, one of Canada's major integrated oil companies.nationally as well as contributing material for television and radio programs.Topics have run from child abuse, hunger and pornography to extortion in schools and suicide.They performed Hunger: the Fairytale for a 1984 international conference on world famine co- chaired by Pierre Trudeau and Willy Brandt.They participated in the International Youth for Peace tour in 1985 and, in 1986, took part in International Peace Year activities in Europe and in Child Find Quebec's Missing Children's Day.Créations Etc is always looking for more young people to participate in its work and in its preparations for Réalité Jeunesse \u201988.Tax-deduct- ible donations are welcome.Supplies for, or work on, the festival site at Hangar 9 in the Old Port would also be appreciated.For more information about Créations Ete, call 937-3941 or visit the office at 1001 Lenoir street, fifth floor, in St Henri.|!

tennis courts re the start of the 1989 playing on, and it will be surveying the players on what type of surface they prefer.The city is also considering charging residents a fee for using the tennis courts and for participating in many of Westmount\u2019s other recreation activities, currently open to all free of charge.The four clay courts, located in Westmount Park near the library, suffer from a drainage problem and require extensive maintenance on a regular basis, Councillor Joan Roth- man, the commissioner of leisure and culture, told last week\u2019s public council meeting.\u201cWe have to improve the drainage.It\u2019s just a question of what we put on top,\u201d Mrs Rothman explained.The present courts, which were built over 20 years ago, have such poor drainage that players commonly must wait three or four hours after a heavy downpour before using them.Three surface types A brief presented to council by public works engineer Marianne Zalzal examines three surface types for the city to consider.The options outlined are to resurface the courts with new clay, or to change to a synthétic sod or an asphalt surface.\u201cI'm not making a recommendation,\u201d says Ms Zalzal, \u201cI'm just presenting council with the facts and By CHARLES MAPPIN letting them choose, because they're more aware of what the residents want.\u201d Mrs Rothman ruled out asphalt, saying it wears down shoes, balls and feet more quickly than the other two surfaces.Ten of Westmount\u2019s 16 tennis courts are made of a red-and- green asphalt material.The only clay courts are the adult ones and the two in Stayner Park.Synthetic sod consists of green polypropylene fibres with a rubber carpet backing, just under an inch thick in total.It looks similar to a fake-grass doormat, although it is much softer and stronger.A mixture of silica sand and rubber particles serves as a top-dressing filtered between the fibres.The resulting court makes for a faster game than clay, but a significantly slower one than asphalt.Calling the clay courts a \u2018\u201challowed institution\u201d for many players, Mrs Rothman said the city was lean- .ing towards using clay again, but wants to consult the users.\u201cCouncil didn\u2019t vote on the issue, but several councillors voiced a strong preference for clay,\u2019 Mrs Rothman said.Players to be polled Players at the courts during the remainder of the summer will have an opportunity to give their opinions.A fact sheet based on the brief Summer is finally here to stay, and each day I am witness to the many Westmounters who have taken up running as a means of keeping in shape.Whether you are a novice, and a slow run around Westmount Park is your speed, or a veteran training for any one of the numerous road races this summer, there are certain ©: you should always keep in d By following these practical guidelines, you will help prevent injury and enjoy your run a great deal more.First, warm-up and stretching exercises must be done prior to your run.Most muscle tears, knee and ankle injuries are due to an insufficient or non-existent warm-up period.Likewise, at the end of your workout, always remember a cool- down and relaxation period.This will lessen the risk of pulled muscles and soreness the following day.One important point is to never overdo your running.I have seen numerous diehards who absolutely cannot survive a day without a hard workout; or, even worse, runners who train while they are injured.The old adage, \u201cno pain, no gain,\u201d is absolutely untrue.If it hurts, your body is telling you to stop.Switch to another.sport like swimming until News Hope Korytko Executive director | the injury has healed.Increase your distance gradually and run on various types of surfaces to maximize your training effect.Constant pounding on the concrete streets has been associated with such injuries as shin splints.With all of the hills in our community, you also have a perfect opportunity for an increased workout, but do not attempt running up Clarke street until you have been running for a while, and are in shape.What you wear is also important both on a personal comfort and on a safety level.Purchase shoes that have been designed for running.Although a good pair may cost around $100, the potential for injury is much lower than with a poorly designed pair of shoes.If you plan to run our streets at night, be sure to wear light-colored clothing with fluorescent tape to warn motorists as you pass by.Last, but not least \u2014 if you do pull a muscle, twist a knee or feel pain in your legs after running, apply ice immediately.Should the pain persist, consult your doctor or physiotherapist.Do not continue to run.Happy running, and if you need any further information, consult one of our instructors after class, or give me a call at the Y at 931-8046.will be posted, along with samples of synthetic sod for players to examine.A survey will also be taken, Mrs Rothman said.In the brief, Ms Zalzal outlines the installation and maintenance costs, playing characteristics, and downtime due to rain associated with the three surfaces.She also presents the results of her research of tennis clubs using synthetic sod courts.Ms Zalzal found that while the synthetic sod courts are more expensive to build than clay courts, they require far less maintenance and dry out considerably faster after a rainfall.Over a period of years, therefore, synthetic sod is more eco- ; nomical and provides for more playing time.- The existing clay courts require four hours of maintenance per day, as well as rolling after rain and periodic replacement of the surface material.The only maintenance synthetic sod requires is rolling at the start of the season, followed by z weekly brushing.Sod quicker-drying After a rainfall, players on a synthetic sod court can usually get back to their games within an hour or so.Ottawa\u2019s Rideau Tennis Club installed four outdoor synthetic sod courts two summers ago and claims the courts are ready for action within 10 minutes of rain because of the drainage system it installed.Using a clay surface, construction costs for the four courts would be $57,500.A synthetic -sod surface would cost $83,000.Over the following five years, however, the clay courts: would cost $56,000 to maintain; the synthetic sod, only $3,200.The brief shows that synthetic sod courts also provide more playing time because less time is used for maintenance and for drying after rain.Based on a season of 3,360 possible playing hours, the clay courts could be used for some 2,030 hours while the synthetic sod would allow for 3,200 hours of playing.Using these numbers, Ms Zalzal calculated the clay courts would cost $2.80 per court per playing hour over the first five years.Synthetic sod would be less than half the cost, at $1.35 per court per hour.Five-year guarantee Synthetic sod is used on some outdoor courts such as the Rideau Tennis Club and on St Lambert\u2019s public courts, but is a relatively new surface which comes with only a five- year guarantee.Mrs Rothman said the city has some reservations about using it because \u201cwe have no idea how long it will last.\u201d If it endures the climate and lasts longer than the five years, it becomes increasingly more economical than clay.While a new surface is in the cards, the question of a fee remains undecided.Mayor May Cutler said the city would look into how other municipalities charge for recreation activities and is considering fees at the courts \u201cbecause our costs of redoing them will be over $100,000.\u201d On the subject of fees, Mrs Cutler noted as an example that Hampstead charges $53 per week for youngsters in its day camp, while the West- mount day camp is free.Mrs
