leaders dismissed as \u201cridiculous\u201d council\u2019s call for a giant infor: mation meeting of all parties.Instead they scheduled a union meeting for Monday.The latest moves follow a 12-hour strike by the 100 employees last Friday that closed the library and shut down the switchboard (see separate stories).Meanwhile, on Tuesday, West- mount\u2019s 140 blue-collar workers filed to join the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), seekirig improvements in job security and pensions.\u201cNo one is going to lose their job,\u201d Mayor May Cutler stated Sunday after the emergency committee session.\u201cThere will be no layoffs.\u201d Though the city had reluctantly offered job security after 10 years to its white-collar workers in a last- minute attempt to call off Friday's strike, Mayor Cutler said it would not go further on the job security demand.Destroy family feeling Additional guarantees, she said, would destroy the family feeling between all city workers.It would have the same effect, she said, as parents having to guarantee that they would leave all their money to their children.She said that, after talking with white-collar workers on the picket line Friday, she believes a lack of communication and misunderstanding is at the root of the breakdown in Continued on page seven Blaze causes $300,000 damage: Residents of 2b0 Clarke evacuated after fire starts

tower on Oakland riles residents, mayor, council By CHARLES MAPPIN Residents of Oakland avenue are outraged at a 30-storey communications tower that went up next to their properties last weekend.It took less than 48 hours for the 93-metre (305-foot) orange and white steel structure to be erected.It has a triangular base measuring 25 feet across and is located immediately next to the Oakland backyards on land in Montreal owned by a Ridge- wood avenue apartment building.\u201cWe were all outside Sunday afternoon watching in horror as the thing went up, powerless to stop it,\u201d said Anelia Wright, speaking on behalf of a group of Oakland residents upset by the tower\u2019s sudden invasion into their quiet neighborhood.The residents held a quick series of meetings and decided to see what they could do to fight it.\u201cWe feel so strongly that we want the tower taken dowa that we won't stop until.we get it down,\u201d Mrs Wright said.The group has appealed for help to

falls down nine-foot catchment hole A three-year-old Westmount girl fell some nine feet into a catchbasin behind Westmount High School Tuesday afternoon.Someone had removed half of the grill, school officials confirmed.The girl, who had been walking through the schoolyard with her mother, fell onto a base of well- packed leaves and was rescued by firefighters.She was believed to have been more scared than hurt but was taken to Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital by Urgences Santé for examination, police said.Fire officials said she had a bump on the head and had injured her left leg.\u201cWe gave her one of our Sun Youth teddy bears and she grabbed it and clung onto it,\u201d Fire Captain Graham Morrison said.She was the first victim to have received a bear donated to the fire brigade last June to comfort young children (see story June 8).School principal Richard Meades called the incident \u201cregrettable\u201d and told THE EXAMINER yesterday he had launched an immediate investigation into the incident.He suspects at least one student of removing the cover over lunch time.PSBGM maintenance personnel soldered together the two halves of the grill which had come apart at some time, he said.It was not known how long the cover had been damaged.Mr Meades said students told him one boy had been seen playing with the grill over lunch and had lowered himself into the hole to retrieve one of the halves which had fallen down.Though he replaced both parts at the time it was believed he might have returned to the place later.Emergency personnel at the scene said the hole could not be seen for leaves around the area.Public safety officers who arrived soon after the call for help said the girl had fallen about nine feet below ground into a narrow hole.Firemen Guy Gervais, a member of the fire brigade's first responder crew lowered himself into the catchbasin, checked her condition and lifted her up to Fireman Tom Hopkins.She was put on a backboard and taken to hospital.The child lives nearby on Dorches- ter boulevard.She had been accompanying her mother to pick up an older child at Westmount Park School.Tm, me ik 2 - The Westmount Examiner, November 2,

his hat into the ring again.The 43-year-old \u2018\u2018retired\u201d businessman, who last February called on Mayor May Cutler to resign, confirmed Sunday he would not only run for council\u2019s vacant seat but also would serve as finance commissioner if asked.He is the first declared candidate - in the Feb 4 by-election to replace ward 2 representative Phillip As- pinall who resigned Oct 12 for business reasons.Mayor Cutler announced Mr Trent's candidacy.She endorsed him, saying his creative business expertise is needed on council and she believes they could work together.\u201cI forgive him for not supporting me.We have had a long talk and we believe in many of the same things.I need him.He knows how to get things done.\u201d Mr Trent called their new relationship a marriage of convenience.He said he still does not accept the mayor\u2019s method of doing things though he feels she has mellowed recently.Mr Trent, who served as the city\u2019s commissioner of planning and redevelopment from 1983-87, was responsible for downzoning of the city and a complete updating of the city\u2019s building code.He also launched the heritage properties study.Business commitments Mr Trent did not seek a second term on city council two years ago citing \u201csubstantial business commitments.\u201d He said he now has more time after resigning six months ago as president of PBI/Plastibeton Ltd, the firm he founded 18 years ago.At the time of the 1987 elections, he said, he felt honorbound to see Firefighters to be honored at Monday's council session Monday's city council

it.Victim of purse-snatch wants to warn others A WOMAN whose purse was snatched Wednesday night last week on Prince Albert avenue wants Westmount residents to learn from her The victim, a resident of nearby Burton avenue, called THE EXAMINER to say the street is dark at night and apparently not very safe.She said on Monday that only the wallet had been recovered so far and turned over to the police station in LaSalle.\u201cIt was pretty scary,\u201d she said, recalling the theft which occurred about 9:45 pm as she walked south from the blocked end at Sherbrooke She said she believes someone in a car pulled in behind her from Winchester avenue as she continued toward Somerville.She heard both a car and footsteps before a man suddenly pulled at the strap of Police stated the man then faced her and asked for the bag which she was still holding by the broken strap.The woman handed it over without resistance and the thief escaped in a small red car going west on Somerville.He is

matter.The woman proceeded to the meeting place at the comer of de Maisonneuve boulevard but no one else showed up.When she returned to the office her brown purse and wallet were gone.ie r Today, Nov

Vol.LXI, No.44, Thursday, November 2, 1989 SZ LNT CIRCULATION We Say Why this shameful strike?WHY, among all the various employees and their bargaining units, is the City of West- mount experiencing its first strike which anyone can remember among its so-called white-collar workers?These are the persons who, for the most part, work at city hall or in other offices, who daily are in the direct stream of authority which runs the municipality and in the likewise direct line of responsibility for maintaining loyalty, morale, well-being and contentment among all staff.The problem does not appear to be money \u2014 rarely is it, really, in government service at any level.There is no bottom line to inhibit generous settlements either as a matter of course and more particularly when the heat of concerted, collective action is applied to the administration.Working conditions, perhaps.However, the physical and perquisite situation of West- mount employees, at all levels and of all kinds, would be hard to beat.Then, what's the problem?We have it on good authority that this fight is on the ordinarily simple question of security of employment.There have been some strange manoeuvrings in recent years, job positions wiped out, others downgraded or simply denigrated to the point where the holders seek clarification which is not forthcoming.Staff members either ask for or are made subject of transfers under less-than-forthright pressures, only to discover after that they have been shifted and shafted \u2014 sure grounds for real or imagined (just as bad) complaints of unjust treatment.After many years of watching, reporting and making friends at city hall and its scattered departments at all levels, this strike brings us back to the distasteful conclusion which we have not harped on for some months: the day-to-day management of the City of Westmount is wanting.One cannot blame the white-collars\u2019 union, in these circumstances, for asking for the world in \u201csecurity\u201d provisions to cover themselves from the kind of shoddy treatment some of them have experienced in the past.Nor can anyone blame couticil, their information coming in the main from \u201ctheir side\u201d of the negotiations \u2014 that is, the management \u2014 for resisting seemingly impossible demands.The truth, as in most cases of labor relations, lies somewhere between.The idea of all the employees concerned meeting with the mayor and all the aldermen and, away from the artificialities of the bargaining table, hearing one another directly has much merit.In addition to speeding a settlement, it just might show how awry has been the management of employee relations as have been other aspects of the running of the city.Welcome back, Mr Trent GOOD news and bad news from the municipal election front.Let's first dispose of the bad: The vacancy on city council to fill the seat resigned by Phillip Aspinall, the finance commissioner, is not to be filled until February! This is an unconscionably long time.How much is caused by the meddling rules and regulations of Quebec and how much by city administration torpor is veiled in obscurity.The simple fact is that this is considerably longer than the times required to mount federal or provincial elections, which in turn are unnecessarily extended by a throwback to the days when it took ages to campaign across the land by rail and horse-and-buggy.We suspect a good deal of the problem is city hall unpreparedness along with a lack of will to apply the necessary effort with some degree of alacrity.As with so many municipal mysteries, it really is up to our delegates on council to solve such administration «conundrums.After all, they are the losers who must operate shy one of their numbers for an unconscionably long delay.The good news is that Mr Peter Trent, a former alderman who decided not to run again due to the pressures of business, finds his career situation changed and is able to return to public life.Played right, his prompt announcement of his candidacy could dissuade others and be parlayed into a worthy acclamation, saving time, taxpayers\u2019 money and the expenditure of short-supply administrative energy.Opposed or not, we would heartily endorse Mr Trent's reincarnation as a councillor.Bringing his prior experience to bear, alone, commends him.He will be remembered as a dedicated solon, human enough tobenot always right but right more often than most.We shall be glad to see him again at the council table.You Literacy Day publicity appreciated by foundation Sir: On behalf of the Canadian Give the Gift of Literacy Foundation, I am writing to thank you for the generous publicity you provided concerning Literacy Day last Sept 8, first by anews item concerning the presentation of cheques to three Montreal organizations for their work in the field of literacy and then, more recently, by a picture of the participants in this presentation.It is hard to believe that one in five Canadians is illiterate; that is, they cannot read well enough to function in society.The foundation, which was founded in 1980 and has been funded for the most part by money raised within the book industry, this year presented cheques totalling $36,098 to 16 literacy organizations across the country.The support of publications such as THE EXAMINER in informing the public of the foundation and its work is essential and greatly appreciated.Judy Mappin Double Hook 1235A Greene avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 2A4 Merchant appeals decision on Greene demolition A copy of the following letter to Mayor May Cutler and Westmount city council has been sent to THE EXAMINER: Madame Mayor and City Councillors: Please accept this letter in the context of an appeal regarding the upcoming demolition of the Greene avenue row of buildings, one of which is The Coffee Gourmet Centre.I was both amused and shocked to read about the \u201c$2 million\u201d city program slated for the Victoria-Sherbrooke area.Councillor Vineberg\u2019s approval of the preservation of that area's village character \u2018which everyone likes,\u201d seems to be a direct contradiction stemming from the approval of the demolition committee to rip up Greene avenue and build a modern five-storey office - building and whatever else goes with it, which \u201cno one likes.\u201d \" The submission of 1,500 names of shoppers, non-residents and residents of West- mount obviously went by the boards without any due consideration from the demolition committee.All of those people are shoppers who support Westmount and contribute in no small measure toward the city income.These same people were told by Councillor Robertson at the demolition committee meeting that the committee's decision \u201cwould not be manipulated by numbers\u2019! But isn\u2019t this a democratic process?\u2014 numbers! People the likes of Mr Robertson et al are elected as a result of numbers.What manipulation?The entire social aspect of this beautiful and endearing Greene avenue will be scuttled, ravaged, drawn and quartered if this proposed building is erected.The builders are not improving nor beautifying the street as they declared at the demolition meeting.We consider this proposed construction a Greene avenue rape, a total violation of what is a pure and simple, lovely shopping area.A village, if you will, which will be totally desecrated if this project is going to go ahead.The rent on the proposed store fronts is allegedly going for $65 a square foot \u2014 only high-priced items will be able to afford this outlandish rent and, believe me, the shoppers of Greene avenue will not appreciate these types of stores! We at The Coffee Gourmet Centre are making a living and as a family-run business, we hope to continue to do this.For just alittle over 12 years we feel we have contributed greatly in the realm of small business to Greene avenue.By the same token, our customers have become our friends and wonderful supporters \u2014 and we have given back what we have taken from the community.The demolition committee is making a grave mistake in not taking its citizens\u2019 disapproval seriously.They elected you to serve them and you have ignored their petition.We have a council without a soul \u2014 a council who doesn\u2019t heed the pleas of its citizens or small businesses, but who only respects the demands of short-sighted developers.Inclosing, let it besaid that it is a very sad commentary that the City of Westmount does not deem it necessary to protect, help to enhance and encourage small businesses to thrive and flourish as they should and at the same time help to make its Greene avenue community a bustling, contented and happy environment.Rita Stafford The Coffee Gourmet Centre 1265 Greene avenue WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 2A4 How to tell the weather THE spell of fine weather which blessed these parts recently brought out the pessimists in full array.It will end! We shall pay for it! Watch out for a rough winter! They may be right.However, we don\u2019t understand why there are not more optimists (in a limited sense) telling us that this is thestart of the global warming, that there is no reason why we must get out the galoshes, the woollies and the snow tires atall.In any event, perhaps even before this appears in print, the forecasters will be back with gloomier outlooks, including their such-and-such percentages for chances of rain.Remember that wet stuff?In those rural Quebec parts where we spend more of our time these days, where dairy farms abound, the lore is that when the cattle are sitting down in the fields \u2014 they've been standing around a lot over the last couple of weeks \u2014 it means that rain can be expected.Recently on a visit to Scotland we idly remarked on a small herd of cows, lying about contentedly chewing their cuds.Sure sign of rain, we opined.Oh, no, was our host\u2019s rejoiner, this meant by Highland beliefs fine weather continuing.In the event, it rained for the next several days.Which reinforced a long held further theory of ours.We have been suspicious of meteorologists eversince having to rely on them in wartime to come up with decent forecasts with which to brief aircrews on what to expect from nature in addition to flak, enemy fighters and other man-made phenomena.Thus, in recent years when the prognostications served up by Weather (Whither?) Canada started to state the prospects for precipitation in percentages of chance, we got to wondering how they arrived at these numbers.We are quite sure they long since gave up going outside and looking at the sky or holding a moistened index finger up to the wind.Now we think we know the answer.They still go outside or, at least, look out aback window.Just like National Defence kept horses on the payroll at Petawawa, Transport Canada has cows.They are milked twice daily, not for dairy produce but for information.A met man, junior grade, is assigned to do this.To keep it simple, there are 100 head in each such government herd.The intrepid weather seer simply counts heads.If there are 30 cows seated (and, therefore, 70 standing) the next published and broadcast forecast may be expected to proclaim a \u201c30-percent chance of rain.\u201d Or, if the man happens to have a name beginning with \u201cMac,\u201d then it will be a 70- percent certainty.- Pas 111440 ra SD ~~.rR mca

understanding should always be the keynote and foundation of the relationship between all who either administer or are employed by the city, was the outstanding statement made by Mayor Walter A.Merrill.at the inaugural banquet of the Quarter Century Club of the City of Westmount, held in Victoria Hall last night, After the good things provided for the \u201cinner man\u2019 had been disposed of, 56 employees of the city were presented with watches in recognition of their loyal and faithful service during a period of 25 years.As a matter of fact, one of the city's employees, Peter Charles of the roads department, has a record of 50 years\u2019 service.\u201d Thirty-five Years Ago November 5, 1954 \u201cSnowblowing and the use of salt were the subjects of comments among members of the Westmount Municipal Association, and a report was received from general manager T.J.Hughes.It said: \u2018Blowing snow onto city property back of sidewalks is economical.It is thus blown on all streets where public property is wide enough, al- * though some may spill over onto private property.Where blowing is not practical, truck loading is used.Blowing costs 3 cents per cubic yard, loading 37 cents.When salt is spread it reduces slippery surfaces and loosens frozen material from roadways.By the time it is mixed with snow, ploughed and blown behind sidewalks.it is most unlikely to damage grass'.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago October 30, 1964 \u201cThe mayors of three suburban municipalities have reaffirmed their opposition to annexation to Montreal \u2014 but left the door open to

for \u2018feeding off Montreal taxpayers\u2019 \u2014 agreed the one-island-one-city concept is not the answer.Mr Drury left the audience with the parting thought that the outcome of the annexation question is \u2018in your hands\u2019 since the law requires a referendum before any such step be taken.\u201d Ten Years Ago November 1, 1979 \u201cReports that one Westmounter had twice seen cyclists on the city\u2019s new bicycle path knocked over by motorists caused a stir among city council members last week, resulting in pressure to close the bike route early for the winter season.The reports appeared to be inconclusive, however, and police were unable to report any such incidents since the bike route was established two months ago, so nothing will change for the time being.The citizen claimed that neither of the accidents had resulted in serious injury, but said it appeared both cases were linked to eastbound bike traffic confronting autos moving from side streets into de Maisonneuve.\u201d One Year Ago November 3, 1988 \u201cWith tomorrow the deadline for getting on the voters\u2019 list for the Nov 21 federal election, many Westmount residents say the enumerators

spokesman from the local Liberal Party campaign said stretches of Grosvenor and Sunnyside avenues and part of the Château Maisonneuve apartment building had not been enumerated either., x CE COS om our PSBGM commissioner Joan Rothman says.: BR What do they teach there?ROSLYN School is the original French immersion school in the PSBGM.It was there that the method known as French immersion, pioneered in a St Lambert school, was put into a program for an entire school, formalized as to curriculum and then adopted as a model by the PSBGM.It was from Roslyn School that the French immersion model moved to other schools in the PSBGM and eventually across Canada where French immersion schools are attracting more students every year.I spoke about Roslyn School and the teaching of French as a second language to a workshop at an Alliance Quebec conference recently.The workshop was held in response to a need for more and better second-lan- guage teaching expressed by members of English-speaking communities across Quebec.Why Roslyn?1 was asked to discuss French immersion only, but truly the PSBGM has two pedagogical approaches to the teaching of a second language \u2014 early French immersion and late French immersion.Both approaches are valid and attractive.Late French immersion will be described when I take you on a visit to Westmount Park School very soon.French immersion was developed to teach English-speaking children to speak French, then to read and write French.Formal English instruction is introduced in Grade 3, and English teaching time is then increased so that students in Grade 5 and 6 are learning in English for 60 percent of class time and the French language for 40 percent of the time.If this student continues in the PSBGM post-French immersion in high school the student will be able to write his or her high school leaving exam (Grade 11) in Grade 9.The student will then receive our famous bilingual certificate of French language proficiency.The government has recognized the excellence of the PSBGM early French immersion program by exempting graduates from writing the French language exams demanded by Quebec for certification of Continued on page 22 The Westmount Examiner, THEY (AN MOVE! Thursday, November 2, LOOK! our M.P.David Berger says.Who speaks for Canada?AN ASSUMPTION that is implicit in much of the commentary about the Meech Lake accord is that you cannot be against it and find support in Quebec.Another way of putting it is that you cannot be in favor of Canada and find support in Quebec.Because of this, there are many who profess to have concerns about Meech Lake but are prepared to set them aside because they fear the reaction that the failure of the accord may provoke in Quebec.Recently John Godfrey, editor of the Financial Post, wrote that \u201cThe problem with root-and- branch opposition to Meech is that it ignores the current political reality in Quebec.Meech has become a symbol in Quebec of acceptance into Canada.Maybe it shouldn't have, maybe it is a rotten symbol, maybe the negotiations were fraudulent, maybe Bourassa has done acon job in building up expectations within the province for its acceptance, but that is the reality.\u201d As Godfrey sees it, Quebec's use of the notwithstanding clause triggered the opposition of English-speaking Canadians to Meech.For these reasons, he suggests a deal.Keep Meech and get rid of the notwithstanding clause.A quick fix if there ever was one! I would say that the greater danger to Canada today is not that Meech Lake will fail but that it will pass, precisely because of this fear of offending the Quebec electorate.What contempt for the Quebec electorate! This amounts to saying that the attachment of Quebecers to Canada is so weak that Quebecers will blindly support a deal that is bad for Canada.If the attachment of Que- becers to Canada is as weak as that, Canada is, indeed, in trouble.As Pierre Trudeau said last week, most francophones in Quebec are federalist, they love Canada and want to be part of Canada.Quebecers, like other Canadians, understand federalism.They recognize that if you are elected to Parliament you have a different job to do than someone who is elected to the Quebec National Assembly.Quebecers want the premier of Quebec to defend the interest of Quebec and they want the prime minister of Canada to defend the interest of WE must set the example but that doesn\u2019t mean we must follow it.\u2014Bernard Kops ee Pager Tn SUE enya pope n'y oy t.+ our M.N.A.Richard B.Holden says.ea Arrangements in Quebec THIS past Monday I visited Quebec City in my role of Equality Party house leader.I had been invited to meet with the outgoing speaker of the National Assembly Pierre Laurin and the incoming speaker, Jean-Pierre Saint-Onge.Our discussions included a wide range of proposals from our party, and a number of extremely helpful suggestions from these two friendly gentlemen.What offices are available for us?To my delight we were assigned some, not all, immediately.We discussed the extent of the research money available for the Equality Party, and what support staff would be assigned, such as secretaries and deputies.Will we have a private meeting room adjacent to the Salon bleu?Probably yes.Most important, where will we sit in the Assembly?We know the seats we want, and I have great hopes we will be assigned the four we picked out.I was impressed with the attitude of the two speakers and I know the ground was laid for a constructive debut for our four deputies when the assembly opens.Canada.Quebecers, we should remember, voted for both Pierre Trudeau and René Lévesque at the same time.It was perhaps Yvon Deschamps who put it best when he said that what Quebecers really want is an independent Quebec within a united Canada.Since 1984, \u201cTeam Canada\u201d has been losing by default.None of the federal parties have been fighting for Canada in Quebec.Last week, when the provinces of Manitoba and New Brunswick tabled reports on Meech Lake and when a former prime minister once again denounced the accord, the opposition parties failed to ask a single question about Meech Lake in the House of Commons.This is perhaps the greatest threat to Canada\u2019s existence, that at this moment in - our history, no national party is able or willing to speak for those Canadians who reject Meech Lake.No national party reminds Quebecers that Meech Lake and Quebec's five demands are two separate things and that it is the former and not the latter which has provoked so much opposition.No national party is able or willing to tell Quebecers that rejecting Meech Lake may just be an affirmation of Canada and their placein Camad@ 13-2400 108 tue nr 1989 - 5 hw 6 - The Westmount Examiner, The idea to call for a large information meeting to cut through negotiation \u201cmyths\u201d

said she knew all about CUPE and said the union would just love to strike Westmount.Mr Laramée, who remained calm and composed during the confrontation, told her he hoped the contract could be settled through negotiations with her and some other members of council.When she departed after suggesting a mass meeting, Mr Laramée turned to strikers saying, \u201cHer husband (the late Phillip Cutler) was

thought it would come to this,\u2019 said one library worker.And her feelings were repeated again and again by others.More than 70 of the city\u2019s 100 white-collar employees who walked off their jobs at 10 am last Friday joined the picket line around city hall.It was a show of solidarity over the breakdown in contract negotiations, they said.Only a few others chose to go home instead, mostly executive secretaries or supervisory personnel.Inside city hall, a skeleton staff of managers peered out the leaded windows.The show of strength outdoors was hailed as a sign of encouragement by the

unfold.They didn't know quite what to expect.Workers appeared in jovial mood but most said they are upset they have been without a contract since Dec 31.They talked not about money but about more intangible items: how their jobs might be divided up, a lack of equality among workers and By LAUREEN SWEENEY about wanting more respect.\u201cWe have to show the city we're serious,\u201d said

local was to be filed with the labor ministry Tuesday afternoon, according to CUPE representative Jacques Bouchard.The 140 full-time and part-time workers are seeking help from the strong national union against further contracting out of jobs and for improvements in their pension plan.As members of the Association of Westmount Blue-Collar Employees, they have remained unaffiliated with any union until now.Unconfirmed reports that blue- collars were quietly signing union cards circulated last week.It was not known until a membership meeting Monday that a majority had been obtained.Sources said some 90 percent chose the union option.News of the decision came as white-collar employees, already CUPE members, were planning a second day of strike action for next Thursday.They too give job security as a major concern.Long-expected Blue-collar workers have been expected to join CUPE ever since their white-collar colleagues led the way four years ago.The present blue- collar contract ends Dec 31.\u201cWe want to start slowly and negotiate fairly,\u201d explained Michel Poulin, blue-collar president, in outlining the workers\u2019 reasons for joining

was believed to have been deliberately set, fire investigators report.It was not known how the 3 am blaze was started.Fortunately for sleeping tenants, fire investigators said, the fire had been mainly extinguished by hot water from a nearby pipe which had burst from the heat of the flames.This prevented the fire spreading quickly undetected.Firefighters used a 1#/4-inch stream to hose down extension of the fire into some lumber, limiting damage to an estimated $250.Sleeping tenants had been alerted to the fire about 3:30 am when the building superintendent rang the alarm on finding smoke in the basement.His wife had heard sounds of small explosions caused by aerosol cans.Smoke filled the hallways and residents were evacuated until 4:56 am.Mutual aid firemen from Céte St Luc

With this in mind, it's important that you set the stage for buyer showings.Keep your home clean, neat and cozy at all times.You might have to show it on short notice.The kitchen is the focal point of any home.Evervthing should be spic-and-span with dishes washed and excess paraphernalia tucked away.Beds should be made, kids\u2019 clothes stowed and not left where kids ususally leave \u201cthem (sometimes, on the floor).Decorator touches help a lot: Vases or pots of flowers, colorful pillows, mirrors on the walls to make rooms look more spacious.Mow the lawn, touch up any peeling paint.Don\u2019t start major renovations, but do make obviously needed small repairs, such as a leaky faucet, torn screen or peeling paint.Remember what you're selling.DON\u2019T SELL A HOUSE \u2014 SELL A HOME Trains buffs take note!

West- mounters went to the polls to elect Mayor May Cutler and eight city councillors.Halfway through their term of office, Westmount's solons all agree a main goal for the coming two years is to continue providing the best possible services in the most cost-effec- tive manner and to see through to completion a number of major projects.They also agree that, together with the city administration, they have done a good job of running a tight ship and reducing spending where possible.Mrs Cutler said her first two years in office have not been productive ones in terms of the major

undertakings \u2014 such as planned repairs in Westmount Park \u2014 are tackled as a whole rather than piecemeal.Wardsland3 Councillor Rhoda Vineberg, representing ward 1, is the commissioner of light and power.She said she looks forward to the planned landscaping of the lookout parking lot and the remodelling of the commercial area of Victoria avenue and Sherbrooke street.Mrs Vineberg wants improvements to Summit Park to make it into an urban park with restricted access and better grounds.The city is hiring a landscaping group to present a proposal for the park, she said.Ward 2 is now vacant with Phillip Aspinall\u2019s recent resignation.It will be filled at a by-election Feb 4.Daniel Tingley represents ward 3 and is commissioner of administration.Mr Tingley said he\u2019s particularly interested in the planned renovation of the Westmount Library.\u201cI want to monitor the changes at the library and see how they go forward,\u201d he said.Another of Mr Tingley's priorities is to see through changes to the structure of the city hall administration.\u201cI think we'll soon see a breakthrough in the administrative structure.It will clear up a lot of misunderstandings and improve morale,\u201d Mr Tingley said, adding that tensions over the past two years have had a negative affect on all city employees.Wards 4, 5 and 6 Community relations commissioner Sally Aitken, in ward 4, lists among her priorities the successful completion of the Hillside seniors\u2019 housing, making Westmount more environmentally responsible, improving accessibility for the handicapped at public buildings and further developing the Neighborhood Watch program.Stuart Robertson, representing ward 5 as commissioner of planning and redevelopment, hopes to see development of the Glen Yards get off on the right foot.\u201cI would like to slowly bring the CP development before the public and council to a resolution,\u201d Mr Robertson said.Rather than rush it, he said he would be prepared to see the planning go beyond the end of his term.Mr Robertson wants to set into motion some long-range plans for revitalizing Westmount\u2019s parks and to increase shopper traffic in the Victoria/Sherbrooke commercial area so there will be fewer empty storefronts.Joan Rothman, ward 6, is commissioner of leisure and culture.Mrs Rothman wants to see the continued expansion of the recreation department so it offers a wider variety of programs, better use of the facilities, 1991 ballot is anyone's call: Only one council member planning now to run again When Westmount residents go to the polls in the November 1991 municipal election, they will likely face an entirely different ballot from that of two years ago.It may have as many as six vacancies for council and one for the mayor's office.Four of the remaining seven city councillors, when asked of their intentions this week at the halfway point of their current mandate, said they plan to call it quits at the end of the current session.Two others are undecided and only one said she plans to run for another four years in office.The eighth seat is vacant.Mayor May Cutler said she would prefer not to run for a second term in 1991 because she wants to devote more time to travel and to her publishing business.\u201cI have no secret agenda, but I have threatened to run again unless we get the things I want advanced far enough,\u201d Mrs Cutler said.She wouldn't want to leave office if she thought improvements made and uisine CUSTOM-MADE MODULAR AND IMPORTED KITCHENS Professional Designers

clearcut \u201cno,\u201d saying they will let someone else have the job after their eight years are up.Daniel Tingley and Paul Fortin said they expect not to run again either.Mr Tingley, in only his first term, called it premature to ask the question, but said he would not run unless the amount of time required for the job is reduced.\u201cI'mnot at all happy withthe time commitment and with the decision of the mayor to hold two public meetings a month,\u201d Mr Tingley said, adding that councillors are asked to spend too much time in meetings.He feels they should leave more of the day-to-day running to the city hall staff.\u201cIt's not a question of remuneration.I would prefer to get paid nothing and see the time commitment reduced,\u201d Mr Tingley said.Mr Fortin said he will run only if there is a particular project he wants to see through to completion.Rhoda Vineberg and Stuart Robertson each said they have yet to make a decision.Mrs Vineberg said she won't want to run unless the relationship between council members improved.getting a full recycling program started and making city hall accessible to the handicapped.Mrs Rothman said she hopes to have proper baseball facilities developed at the Westmount Athletic Grounds and a better soccer field in Westmount Park.Wards 7 and 8 Public safety commissioner Paul Fortin, in ward 7, plans to look into the organization of the fire department and public security unit and to consider merging the two.\u201cWhat do we do with public security?Do we modify the modus operandi or keep it as it is?\u201d Mr Fortin said.\u201cI would like to put nose a bit more into the fire def) ment as well.With Director - mons now technically at retirement age, 1 want to ensure continuity there.\u201d Peter Duffield, commissioner of public works and representing ward 8, said his main priority for the coming two years is to continue trying to reduce spending and to deliver the level of services residents want in the most cost-effective manner.\u201cIt\u2019s been accomplished, but that doesn't mean it stops there.It's a continuing process,\u201d Mr Duffield said.\u201cThe first couple of years of this council had its ups and downs.The fact we haven't worked together at times may have had a big impact on management,\u201d he said.Mr Duffield said he hopes to help get the planned changes at the library and Victoria Hall off to a good start before his term is up.\u201cI'll do my best for the next two years and then I'll decide.\u201d Elected midway through the previous council term, she will have been in office six years by the next election.Mr Robertson said he thoroughly enjoys the job, other than the demands it puts on his time and the strain on family life.\u201cI'd like to continue, but I'll see in two

The ovner of 22 Summit Circle, lawyer Annie Kenane, has appealed the decision preventing her from razing the house and building a new one in its place.The short letter gives no reasons for the appeal.Meanwhile, the owner of 3637 The Boulevard now has the green light to proceed with demolishing the coach house on his property.No appeal was made of the committee's decision to grant him a permit.Mel Hoppenheim has paid a permit fee of $1,615, one percent of the municipal valuation of the building in question.He has also put up a monetary guarantee of $161,520, an amount equal to the valuation of the coach house.The city can cash that in to complete the demolition if it is started and left unfinished or if conditions of the permit are not foi- lowed.Reader's Digest building to get two new storeys The Redfern avenue Reader's Digest building will be growi e and out in the months ahead.Westmount city hall issued the company a $2-million building permit last week to erect two additional storeys on top of the two-storey northern aif of the building and to extend it out over the entrance on Redfern.The southern section of the building will remain as is, city officials said.All the changes conform to current zoning regulations.A Reader's Digest official declined to give details of the project pending its final approval by the company board.The permit was sought early, he said, to speed work along when approval is granted.At that time a formal announcement will be made.If you are healthy, remember to give the gift of life.Be a Red Cross blood donor.VERS ATT Ear MTT CR SSeS eo Rn a TESTER Ce aT ENT CTT Thursday, November 2, 1989 - 11 They are reported not to have suffered serious injury.Give the gift of life.Be a Red Cross blood donor.The Westmount Examiner, smoke inhalation were Fire Captain Graham Morrison;
