The Westmount examiner, 18 avril 1991, jeudi 18 avril 1991

[" Council lambasted for failing to consult residents Westmount city council came under fire Monday night for the way it consults with citizens.Westmount residents protested how decisions appeared to have been made in advance of public consultation concerning Summit Circle closure, narrowing of Cedar avenue and newly-revealed plans to re-seed two park dog runs.By LAUREEN SWEENEY Citizens were told that council\u2019s pipeline was through public consultation meetings; that an effective Making all of Westmount your home Westmount, Quebec, Thursday, April 18, 1991 Vol.LXIII, No.16 56¢ + 4¢ GST = 60¢ way was to propose a solution as a point of discussion.\u201cWhat's the point if someone has made up his mind,\u201d asked Stanley Baker, a vice-president of the West- mount Municipal Association (WMA).\u201cIt\u2019s not cricket.\u201d Councillor Paul Fortin, who Mr Baker was addressing, candidly admitted his mind was made up to narrow Cedar.This was the solution he had come up with after studying the problem for a year and talking with residents.He said he was prepared to change his mind if convinced, and admitted other council members might not back his solution after the April 30 consultation meeting.Oakland avenue resident Dr Joseph A.Yermus wanted to know why Councillor Peter Trent was calling an information meeting to discuss his By ALISON RAMSEY Today's youth in Westmount have very definite, and vastly different, ideas about their future in Quebec.Some are eager to flee the complications of language and limited job opportunities.Others feel the deep pull of their birthplace and proclaim their joy in living and working here, while acknowledging that conditions are more difficult.Vytas Groudis, who graduated from Selwyn House in 1983, is among the latter.While his career opportunities would be better elsewhere \u2014 he is working as an assistant film producer and wants to become a producer \u2014 he and friends here are \u201cin spite of the unrest, haggling and ignorance (of the language debate), grateful for the fact of living in a bilingual environment.It's a strength: we're fortunate to be given the opportunity.\u201d Admitting \u201cthis province is badly in need of a PR job,\u201d Vytas has recently initiated talk at parties where like-minded people are gathered.They have batted about notions of creating a media splash with their views, which combat the notion that Quebec is neither viable nor attractive as a place to live.But many others appear to disagree.St George's High School has been updating its alumni list and Richard Diamond, chair of the alumni council, stated unequivocally that, \u201cin my view, we are experiencing another exodus.I see it all around me.And many, many i ro A couple of these Grade 10 students at Westmount High already see their careers unfolding outside Quebec, as do many of their peers.They are, left to right, Melanie Lallouz, Pia Mailhot, Marcia Johnson and Julie Mongeau.more are contemplating leaving.\u201d It's not a language issue \u2014 any lack of knowing French \u2014 that has driven about 60 percent of St George\u2019s grads out of the province, he said.\u201cThey don't feel secure here.\u201d Perhaps with friends and family leaving, \u201cthey are going to a more comfortable environment.\u201d These people are bilingual, well- positioned in terms of education and with good jobs, but \u201cI think they feel caught.They're tired of Continued on page 34 Your home away from home.INSIDE.B® English community must assertitself .® City surplus is $9.6 million

east.The newest federal party, which advocates creating an 11th province out of the predominantly English- speaking southwest sector of Quebec, has entered the West Island and is making preliminary contacts in Westmount, according to its leader.The party was started by Greg Gogan, 38, in the Eastern Townships in January.\u201cWhen Alliance Quebec made its presentation to the Bélanger-Cam- peau commission, something inside me snapped,\u201d he said.\u201cIf this was the best we could do, we were in serious trouble.\u201d Option Canada seeks to fill \u201ca vacuum of leadership in the country\u201d by promoting minority rights, hoping to entrench individual rights in the Constitution that would supersede provincial laws, including the right to education in the official By ALISON RAMSEY language of choice \u2014 where numbers warrant.The party's interim president, Laurent Moreau, is ex-president of the Equality Party in the Brome- Missisquoi riding and ex-president of the Unity Party.The latter merged recently with the Equality Party.\u201cWe hope people find within themselves the bravado to do this,\u201d he said.\u201cThe 11th province would be a bilingual province.I see us as being own solution for reducing traffic on the summit without finding out first what residents wanted.Mr Trent said he had launched a trial balloon six months ago that had been widely publicized in the media and had received no adverse reaction.He was surprised to have received so much negative response from residents in the area in the last few days.\u201cI've got the message loud and clear,\u2019 he said.\u201cThey don't like it.\u201d Mr Trent said he would only be in favor if the people wanted it.\u201cWe're not hatching it on you.\u201d The Summit Circle information meeting takes place tonight at 7:30 at city hall.\u201cYou're coming with your solution,\u201d said Dr Yermus.\u201cDon\u2019t impose your solution.\u201d The longtime issue of consultation Continued on next

Westmount on Monday.On this day the city and West- mount Environment Action group urges residents to either walk, bike, use public transportation, form a car pool, start a walking group and/or take a friend to a local recreational facility.Mayor May Cutler, who doesn\u2019t own a car, said that she won\u2019t even take a taxi or be driven in a city vehicle.She will walk.Richard McEnroe, director of public security, said two and four-hour parking restrictions will be waived \u201cfor just this one day\u201d to allow residents who don't have a parking permit or a driveway to leave their cars at home.He emphasized that tickets will be issued inall other cases, including no parking zones, beside fire hydrants, street maintenance zones and where there are parking meters.Everyone who participates is encouraged to invite a friend to do the same to double the good effects and all are encouraged to call the Weact hotline, 338-8477, to say what action they took.The city will publicize the project and encourage its employees to participate.Ms Vineberg said this was a continuation of last year\u2019s Earth Day \u201cBring your own bag\u201d theme.* For more on Earth Day, see our

The time was at that conference to exert more pressure on the minister instead of letting him off the hook.One of the problems which can be seen in that situation is that the conference itself, since its feisty days after the MUC monster was thrust upon our island at primary cost to the suburbs, like the MUC and the provincial government, has become institutionalized.All three levels of over-government are increasingly captive of their respective ev- er-growing bureaucracies.There clearly is an old-boy network between them whose objective, even if unstated, is the preservation of their power without particular regard to the real needs of their masters: the elected and the people.Their position is strengthened when key people have their feet in more than one of these levels.The trouble is most obvious if, say, a suburban mayor is a key player in both the MUC and the CMSM.The latter was created in the first place to be a watchdog and curb the propensities of the former to spend, to grow and to take over the prerogatives of the cities and towns of the island.In this purpose, the conference has been largely unsuccessful.This is witnessed by the fact that MUC costs have outstripped those of the constitutent municipalities; all over the island, mayors complain \u2014 apparently with no one listening \u2014 that their biggest single problem of good local administration is the uncontrolled growth and cost of the MUC.* * * THE conference once was a lean, mean and attention-getting focus for municipal ire.Our own former mayor, the late Donald C.MacCallum, was a hard-working exemplar of the conference\u2019s worth at that time, though even he got entangled in the MUC structure, where he also was a diligent participant.In fact, one of the chief factors in his downfall was that conference and urban-community affairs tended to detract from his main elected purpose, being mayor of Westmount.One often felt that the true interests of his home community were being blunted by his involvement in both the MUC and CMSM.We are seeing a good deal more of that problem now from other cities and towns on the island.Their mayors are being sucked into these other establishments, which have taken on lives and seemingly destinies of their own.How else to explain that the Conference of Montreal Suburban Mayors could mount our M.N.A.Richard B.Holden says.Senate matters MY alma mater, dear old McGill, has an institution known as the senate.Whenever] hear the expression \u201csenate\u201d or \u201csenator,\u201d conjure up pictures of elderly codgers playing kazoos and interminable debate without rhyme or reason.However, I'm told McGill's senate is different and that students actually succeed in convincing their elders to change their stance.Recently, the student senators appealed to the entire body to delay a hike in student service fees.They were hit with recent fee increases imposed by Mr Ryan when he was the minister of education.They objected to a 6.67 percent increase (from $75 per term per full-time student to $80 per term).Other actions of the McGill senate go unnoticed within our community but it occurred to me that some readers of THE EXAMINER might be interested.For instance, they recently studied the report of a city councillor | Joan Rothman says.The cultural record TWO weeks ago there was another outbreak of cultural fever on the pages of THE EXAMINER, as the mayor described her efforts to both educate and shame council members into voting funds to buy paintings for city hall, and sculptures in the form of our old cast iron fire-boxes as objets d\u2019art in the parks.Neither has council approved the money requested to convert Victoria Hall into a \u201cproper\u201d theatre or decided to turn our library into a copy of the Côte St Luc library \u2014 modern and beautiful though it is! It is, however, not only council that is termed uncultured.We council members share the distinction (or shame) with the citizens who, it is alleged, are more interested in \u201csweat\u201d activitiesthaninthearts.believe this conclusion is very wide of the mark as a great number of our citizens are interested and/or involved in the arts and attend cultural events outside Westmount.It is obvious that Westmounters live near many of the major cultural institutions on Montreal Island; institutions supported by their money, be it federal, provincial and MUC taxes or charitable donations.If the city provides an event like Shakespeare in the Park, not easily found elsewhere, people will attend.But why bring the symphony orchestra to the arena where the acoustics are terrible, when in 10 minutes by Metro one can be in Place des Arts?At the beginning of this council's present term there was much discussion about the need for a professional theatre in Victoria Hall.However, at the same time an enthusiastic recreation department was quickly filling Victoria Hall with citizens participating in programs and activities.Victoria Hall was becoming what it is today \u2014 a multi-use community centre.The lack of a group they had previously set up, known as the task force on priorities.As reported in the McGill Reporter, lengthy discussions took place at the senate\u2019s March 13 meeting.Among the proposals heard was one by Senator Neumoff that a description in the introduction of the task force report that \" McGill \u201cbe the best we can be,\u201d be changed to that McGill \u201cstrive for excellence.\u201d \u201c\u201cTo be the best we can be\u2019 rings little too much like an ad for the United States armed forces,\u201d reasoned Neumoff.The amendment was defeated after various senators bristled at the use of the word \u201cexcellence,\u201d a term many considered \u201chackneyed.\u201d Prof Neumoff also introduced a motion to completely remove a paragraph from page 14 of the report which reads (in part): \u201cThe point has been made that McGill is not a business corporation and should not attempt to act like one.But this does not mean that we cannot learn from such organizations and benefit from their experience.In most modern, well-managed organizations we find recognition of the fact that while the planning function may, in the abstract, be viewed as different from the management of operations, these two sets of activities cannot be carried out by separate individuals.\" The motion was defeated.I believe that most Westmounters would agree with the senate\u2019s decision.clear mandate from the citizens, for instance on the need for a professional theatre in Victoria Hall, led to council's decision to request a study of recreation and culture.We did not know what kind of a program the city should have in our only community space outside of the arena and the library.Council has found out a few things from its deliberations.The library is West- mount's preferred institution.The citizens use the library, are proud of it and if it is to be changed at all it must be done very carefully.Any changes to Victoria Hall, and this includes rentals, have been put on hold until council determined what was going to happen to the library and the future use of Victoria Hall.The recent survey on recreation states that a majority of Westmount citizens want a multi-use community centre in Victoria Hall.I agree with the mayor that Victoria Hall has been neglected by this council, but that neglect is due to the mayor's decision to put the use of the hall, rental of the building and any physical change to the building on hold until decisions about the trio of library, conservatory and Victoria Hall could be made.I have asked for new chairs in Victoria Hall to replace the dangerous old ones, upgrading of kitchen facilities for rental purposes and decent sound equipment and lighting for three years now \u2014 but since everything is on hold no money is being spent on this deteriorating building.With the study completed, the recreation and culture department, the standing committees and council are moving toward completion of mission statements, objectives, a definition of basic services and a decision of which institution in the city will offer these services.Along with recreational and cultural policy, council is developing a grants policy.The increasing demand for donations at the municipal level necessitates such a policy and points to the decrease in funding at the federal and provincial level.This council will have a sound plan for recreation and culture in place in West- mount with a recommended budget before the end of our term.a major meeting of its principals at this particular time, weekend before last, consenting to talk about all kinds of operational matters and allowing no time on the agenda for the twin assaults on them by both the metropolitan and the provincial governments?So cowed were most of the first magistrates and other delegates by the arrangements made for them to discuss other, more innocuous things that none seemed to dare to raise his or her voice on the issues that truly mattered: costs of government foisted onto local taxpayers.There even appears to have been some manipulation of the major media.What most of what we read and heard of the conference seemed to boost Mr Ryan's partial (but inadequate) back-off.Not a mention at all of the silence of the suburban mayors who, afterall, are what the conference is there for, as a sounding board for their real concerns and those of their citizens.Allinall, a disturbing show.For that is what it was.A show of lesser matters, stage- managed by the paid help with their masters as their performers.Not good enough.1Say!

announced that the meeting of April 9 to discuss the narrowing of Cedar avenue would be postponed to April 30.Efforts were made by the city of Westmount and by us to notify everyone concerned.We also asked that city hall be kept open on the 9th.Councillor Rothman and Mr St Louis agreed and further suggested there be an informal discussion session on the 9th with representatives of the schools in the area, some members of the council and perhaps a few people from Cedar avenue.We agreed.However, it was never suggested tous that the meeting would be closed and only a select few would be allowed

WESTMOUNT PQ H3Y 1S3 Council refuses to see protest over Cedar plans A copy of the following letter to Councillor Paul Fortin has been sent to THE EXAMINER: Dear Mr Fortin: I wish to take exception to your comments in last week\u2019s EXAMINER where you stated that you \u2018\u2019can\u2019t give one or two people on that street (The Boulevard) a veto over what is done on Cedar avenue.\u201d Since only the names of Mrs Asimakopu- los and Dr Kiely were mentioned in this article, it would appear to the casual reader that these two residents of The Boulevard are the only ones who are against the proposal to narrow Cedar avenue to one traffic lane.Let me assure you, sir, that this is not the case.As you are well aware, a number of residents as well as headmistress Eve Marshall of The Study came to the November city council meeting to protest the proposed changes.There have been many telephone calls, letters and petitions protesting these changes.In fact, we all felt so strongly that we paid several hundred dollars to place an ad in THE EXAMINER (March 21) so that all concerned could easily register their opposition by cutting out the form and mailing it to the mayor.The simple truth, sir, is that council is refusing to acknowledge that there is indeed a large (and ever-growing) group of area residents who oppose these changes.It is time for council to wake up and reverse its stand.Walter Kowal DDS 3193 The Boulevard WESTMOUNT PQ H3Y 154 No logical arguments made for Cedar changes 1 have been reading with interest the reporting of Charles Abramovici and the numerous

an issue of traffic load on such two busy streets to a motherhood issue of safety (for Cedar residents only).Why not have a sporadic, yet consistent, radar patrol car present during the morning rush

demerit points take their toll, if in fact the issue is clearly a question of speeding as opposed to reducing the carrying capacity of Cedar.Why proceed with a substantial capital cost project outlay for all Westmount taxpayers when the same objectives can be easily attained with no cost to the taxpayer?Should the citizens of Westmount question the apparent lack of resourcefulness and narrow mindset of Councillor Paul Fortin, the former chair of the defunct Traffic Committee and council's purported guru on this issue, who repotedly stated, \u2018I support the narrowing down of Cedar.It's

\u2018uncertain fiscal future\u2019 1990 audited financial statements confirm projections Auditors made if official this week \u2014 Westmount ended last year with a $9.6-million surplus which allowed it to self-finance substantial capital spending, Councillor Peter Trent said Monday night.Though steps have been taken to ensure such an excessive surplus would not recur, he said, the large nestegg

million, amassed mainly through unbudgeted tax revenue from new condominiums and other real estate.In tabling the city's 1990 financial statement, Mr Trent said that unexpected surplus revenues included $4.9 million in condo taxes and tax compensation for Dawson College, $1 million more than planned in net profit from the electric utility and $1.2 million from investment interest and the sale of Hillside avenue municipal property to Quebec for St Margaret's home.By LAUREEN SWEENEY Another $2.4 million came from lower than budgeted expenses, resulting from a low snowfall year and savings in debt financing costs and pension plan contributions.\u201cThe divisions and departments kept within their budgets with the exception of the director-general\u2019s office, as the settlement with the former director general (Peter Pate- naude) was charged in total to 1990 expenditures,\u201d Mr Trent said.The audited statement for the city\u2019s electric utility submitted at the same time showed revenues of $17.6 million exceeded expenditures of $15.4, generating a profit of $2.2 million.This was transferred to the city\u2019s operating budget.Higher than expected revenues resulted from \u201cextraordinary savings\u201d in the cost of power bought from Hydro-Québec, in the cost of the dual energy program, the minimum subscription cost and metering arrangements.In 1990,

amounted to $3.9 million in the municipal operations and $1.8 million in the electric utility for a total $5.7 million.Of this total, the city borrowed from itself to finance $3.3 million while another $2.3 million financed from the working fund will be reimbursed according to a predetermined schedule.\u201cThis means we actually financed on a pay-as-you-go policy,\u201d he explained.The city\u2019s total consolidated long- term debt, less its reserves, as at Dec 31, 1990 was $6 million, down $800,000 from the previous year.Assets in the sinking fund together with projected interest income would be sufficient to retire all long- term debt.The city's financial statement went without comment from citizens attending the meeting including members of both Westmount Municipal

hired to check Cedar plans The city will hire outside consultants to confirm the city\u2019s traffic counts and models for the narrowing of Cedar avenue, Councillor Paul Fortin said at Monday's council meeting.\u201cWe want to make sure we're on solid ground,\u201d he said.The city is deciding whether it will narrow Cedar avenue along its entire length to one lane to control speeding there.Other area residents are upset with the idea, saying traffic will be diverted to their streets.A public consultation meeting is scheduled April 30 at 7:30 pm at city hall.Mr Fortin also said the city's Ar- Videotaping valuables Two young men spotted a gap in today\u2019s marketplace and are filling it with their month-old company, Vidéo Secur Inc.Westmounter Lawrence Zarr and David Goodis will commit images of your wordly goods to videotape for insurance purposes, should they be stolen or damaged by fire.The idea came to Mr Goodis after he bought a videocamera in the United States and videotaped everything in his home.He and Mr Zarr tossed the idea of starting a business around, did research and found no one else offered the service.They were further encouraged by insurance agents who warmed to the idea and insurance companies which, they say, are now promoting their company to clients.The pair are bonded and retain no copies of the videos they take.The one copy is given to the client, who is advised to keep it in a safe place.A typical visit to a home will take between one and two hours.They instruct clients to take inventory, opening closets to determine what valuables should be videotaped a few days in advance.Mr Goodis suggested clothes should be videotaped because, after all, 10 suits can cost a tidy sum.A videotape could be made of your home, office and/or country home, he said.There are many different packages.The cost of the service starts at $49.95 for an apartment and $125 for a house.Foreign exchange comes to Greene A Forexco foreign exchange outlet is expected to open on 1210 Greene avenue sometime next week, a company spokesman said.Bernard Berthiaume said Tuesday that the Forexco head office at 360 St Jacques, on the 12th floor, is not convenient for the general consumer, Forexco, open since 1977, has traditionally dealt mainly with business people.Now it is going after a wider market.Another outlet is expected Business briefs ® to open on Chabanel street within a month.Mr Berthiaume said Forexco has better rates than banks and has more currencies on hand.He said a customer buying $2,000 worth of American travellers\u2019 cheques can save 2.5 percent at Forexco compared to a bank.The company is owned by Dieter Baumeister.yy y 87 Ÿ wo [putt \u2014 PRESTIGIOUS CO-OP APARTMENT 1700 Dr.Penfield, (corner Atwater) Large

meeting.He hopes council will make a decision on the issue at its first meeting in May.Superior Court Judge Benjamin Greenberg, a Cedar avenue resident, said narrowing Cedar will not only slow traffic on a dangerous street but will result in less traffic in the long run.He said Montreal residents who use The Boulevard and Cedar to go downtown might decide to take the expressway if Cedar is narrowed.Marika Asimakopulos, a Boulevard resident, says the city can't know where traffic will be diverted since it has not experimented by narrowing all of Cedar but just the entrance to Cedar at The Boulevard.< OT dt «+ no + e ee ND cre Sale Res: Ref RE or 277 Spick-and-span Esso station rated tops in Montreal By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI George Sachewsky\u2019s Esso station at Sherbrooke and Grosvenor is not only the best in the west, but the north, south and east too.\u201cHe won the top award in the top division,\u201d said Esso Canada official Jean-Pierre Haché.Mr Sachewsky was recently awarded a plaque and a trip for two anywhere in the world by Esso forbeing the best service station in 1990 in the Montreal division, the most important division in Quebec, according to Mr Haché.\u201cIl was surprised,\u201d Mr Sa- chewsky, 36, said of the award presentation March 22 at the Sheraton Centre in Laval.He knew he had it won when he heard the emcee stutter when trying to pronounce his Russian last name.Westmount Auto was one of 200 Esso service stations in the Montreal area which took part in the company\u2019s \u201cCommitment to Leadership\u201d program.Based on 16 evaluations during 1990 \u2014 monthly visits by an unknown \u201cmystery shopper\u201d and quarterly by a company representative \u2014 Mr Sa- chewsky's business scored 95.5 percent.The evaluations include every facet of the business.The monthly visits concentrate on service and image to the \u201ccustomer\u201d station employees can\u2019t distinguish from anyone else.Attendants get points for dress, grooming and courtesy.In fact, Mr Sachewsky showed THE EXAMINER one monthly evaluation where the attendant didn\u2019t say \u201cGood morning\u201d to the mystery shopper and lost a whopping 14 points.Suggesting a fill-up is worth three points.Mr Sachewsky says all his attendants have been shown company training videos which demonstrate the Mr Esso good-guy technique to serving a customer versus the gum chewing, rude bad- guy way.Also looked at during visits is how cars are parked and whether outdoor lights are on during poor visibility conditions, like rain.The quarterly surprise inspections look at safety, image, customer feedback, service and management.The bookkeeping and all records must be up to date, Mr Sachewsky said.Don't mess with the best.George Sachewsky holds awards for his Westmount Auto being the top Esso station in 1990 in the Montreal region.Management is not a problem for the father of three.He has a bachelor of commerce degree from McGill University and was in his first year of the MBA program there when Esso Canada recruited him.: He worked in various positions at the company for two years before taking over Westmount Auto 11 years ago on June 1, his 25th birthday.\u201cThe rest is history,\u201d Mr Sa- chewsky said.\u201cThis is more my thing.\u201d His father was a mechanic and George always \u201cwas good with cars\u201d and paid his education by fixing friends\u2019 vehicles.Mr Sachewsky, a former West- mounter whose children still attend school here, doesn\u2019t yet know where he will go on his free trip, valued at $5,000.Either way, he will wait until the busy spring season is over.Of the award, Mr Sachewsky said \u201cIt was the end result of a year's hard work.\u201d TRE!

Businesses coping well with GST accounting Westmount business people say they are adjusting smoothly to the goods and services tax.\u201cIt's aggravating, but we're managing,\u201d said Graham Fletcher, owner of Steinberg at the corner of Sherbrooke street and Victoria avenue.He added the company helps out by supplying computers and simplifying the process.Steinberg remits their GST once a month.Mr Fletcher said sales were down two percent in the first month of the new tax, but he hasn't heard many complaints from customers.\u201cThe biggest problem we had was with the yogourt (where customers must buy at least six small yogourt servings to be exempt from GST).I think they've accepted it like taxes and bad weather.\u201d Mr Fletcher estimated about 15 per cent of his goods have GST added.Rosemary Niro, part-owner of Illusions Haute Coiffure on Victoria avenue, paid the first installment of the GST this month by simply giving the form to her accountant.\u201cThere\u2019s more paperwork and calculating at the end of the day,\u201d said Ms Niro of her own work, but added \u201cit hasn't changed our business radically.Clients realize they have to pay it.\u201d She said her sales figures remained steady, and attributed this to a \u201cvery regular clientele.\u201d Fewer businesses have made inquiries about the GST to the federal government in recent months, said Jean-Pierre Roy, media relations officer with Revenue Canada.\u201cMany more calls were coming in near the end of February than earlier\u201d said Mr Roy.This was the time when businesses were paying the tax for the first time, he said.Mr Roy said the number of calls has diminished to the point where it is \u201cjust routine now.I have not been made aware of any major problems.\u201d Judy Mappin, co-owner of Double Hook book shop on Greene avenue, agrees things have run well.\u201cIf you've always kept proper books, it\u2019s not that much more work,\u201d said Ms Mappin, who remits her tax quarterly.She added her sales in January and February were up slightly, but this was due to sales of her books abroad.\u201cAfter the fact when we lost the battle (to have books exempted from the sales tax), people haven't complained.\u201d Mohammad Bhaloo, co-owner of the Beau Soir dépanneur on Sherbrooke street, says he spends \u2018an hour more a day\u201d keeping track of Landlords must keep the heat The Westmount Tenants\u2019 Organization wants to remind tenants that landlords must maintain a constant temperature of 20 degrees C or 68 degrees F \u2018\u2019regardless of the time of \u201d year.\u201cHeat has to be provided and tenants are entitled to it,\u201d WTO member Wade Allen said.He said there is no April 1 or any other cut-off date for heat.Mr Allen said if the landlord does not provide enough heat, tenants should record the temperatures inside and out for a few days and then contact the landlord.If heat is still not provided, Mr Allen said the Régie de Logement (rental board) should be called at 873-2245.Also, Mr Allen and Kim Hong, of the WTO, will appear sometime in May on Channel 9, the CF Cable TV community access channel.They will do three programs

could not say if his business has suffered from the tax.\u201cIt\u2019s not very good (the GST combined with the provincial sales tax), but I can't do anything about it.\u201d The Goods and Services Tax is doing what it was supposed to do \u2014 raise alot of cash forthe federal government.InJanuary of this year, the first month the GST came into effect, the federal government raised $675 million, said Jean-Pierre Roy, a media relations officer with Revenue Canada.Mr Roy said the $675 million represents tax from businesses which pay the tax every month.He hinted the tax haul would soon rise significantly.\u201cI don't know if you could call this a standard month,\u201d he said of GST rakes in $675 million in first month January.Some businesses have chosen to pay their GST every three months or every year, he said, and cautioned the recession took a bite out of the government\u2019s figures.All businesses have the option to pay the GST monthly.By law, businesses which make less than $500,000 a year must remit at least once a year, and medium- sized businesses, those making between $500,000 and $6 million a year, must pay quarterly.Firms making more than $6 million annually must pay every month.Mr Hoy sald figures aren't available for February or March since \u201ccompanies normally take in money and file at the very last minute.\u201d Firms have a one-month grace period to fill out the one- page GST form and send in their tax.The amount of money taken in is what the government expected, said Mr Roy.\u201cWe are on target.When the figures are available for the first quarter I imagine they will be made public with some amount of fanfare.\u201d \u2014S.Inniss Incineration plan challenged at city council By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI Two residents criticized West- mount'\u2019s planned participation in the building of a $200-million garbage- burning incinerator at a recent council meeting.\u201cHave you considered alternatives?\u201d asked Westmounter Julie Abouchar.She said if a 60-percent reduction in waste could be achieved, then a smaller incinerator would be needed or perhaps a small landfill site.Westmount and other MUC munci- palities are participating in the Régie intermunicipal de déchets program to build an incinerator by 1994, when the Miron Quarry closes.The 26 municipalities which form the Régie produce about 600,000 tonnes of waste annually.\u201cWe must do something with this waste or we will be in deep do-do,\u201d Councillor Peter Trent said.The planned incineration plant aims to handle about 400,000 tonnes of that waste.The rest will be recycled, composted and buried in other landfill sites.Mr Trent said the Régie couldn\u2019t cut back on the amount incinerated without incurring extra costs.Councillor Peter Duffield said the Régie\u2019s plan was the only way to go \u201cwithout taking draconian measures which are not acceptable in our type of society.\u201d Ms Abouchar suggested that the city charge per garbage bag when collecting, that certain packaging be banned and that people be forced to use recycled paper, among other things.Mr Duffield said these suggestions would take 10 years of education and there is no time.Mr Trent said perhaps the city could cut down onthe amount of garbage it produces and he thought charging for waste wasn't such a bad idea.\u201cI think it's something we should look into,\u201d he said.Councillor Sally Aitken said other councillors didn't feel some of these ideas were too severe.Mr Duffield said incineration was a form of recycling, since heat is recaptured in the form of hot steam.Local environmentalist Don Wedge said he considered incineration to be a draconian measure of getting rid of waste since toxic bottom ash and fly ash is produced.Mr Duffield and Mr Trent said the ash would be dealt with safely.Councillor Joan Rothman said the city could set an example to citizens by reducing its own waste and encouraging citizens to do the same, Tr ler 45

transformed into a Las Vegas-style casino next Thursday night.That's because the Reddy Memorial Hospital Auxiliary is organizing a \u201cReddy to Party Night\u201d from 7 to 11 pm.For $35, $25 for seniors, citizens can gamble $5,000 worth of chips at the blackjack and roulette tables or at the wheel of fortune.\u201cIt's a lot of fun,\u201d said Suzanne Korf, director of development for the Reddy Memorial Hospital Foundation.The auxiliary, the volunteer corps at the Reddy Memorial, Westmount\u2019s only hospital, raised $10,000 at a similar event held at Ogilvy's last year.The auxiliary donated a total of $54,000 to the hospital in 1990, Ms Korf said.While players will get $5,000 worth of chips, only the top earners at the end of the night will receive a prize.Last year the top gambler was awarded a plaque.Prizes will also be raffled, including a weekend at The Ritz and the another at Hotel de la Montagne.At the evening's end winners can redeem their chips for raffle tickets.Ms Korf said the event is being held in Westmount this year in an effort to attract more people.Victoria Hall is bigger and offers better parking than last year\u2019s downtown location.She expects about 150 people to attend but hopes to raise the same amount as last year.Expenses have risen, she said.Ms Korf said $10 of the ticket price, which includes one drink and hors d'oeuvres, is

to think this was something she brought from her (childhood) in Westmount.\u201d An emotional tribute came from Robert (Bobby) Cox, of St Hubert, who related various experiences he remembered while growing up in Hollywood as a close friend of her two children, Irving and Katherine Thalberg.She was a hard worker who ran her Tudor mansion facing the Pacific Ocean like a tight ship.Also paying tribute were two new movie stars, Westmount seniors Vicki Holden and Constance Nadeau from the National Film Board's award-winning film The Company of Strangers.In accepting the award, Deborah Thalberg, also an actress, thanked the city not only for honoring her grandmother but also for \u201cuniting us with all these Shearers we never knew.\u201d The five honorees were selected in their various fields of endeavor by a committee of seven Westmount citizens chaired by Aline Gubbay and consisting of Richard Bolton, David Laidley, Storrs McCall, Alan Rose, Col Pierre Sévigny and Barbara

Professor Guido Nincheri was proud to consider himself a West- mounter, because he was recognized as the artist who painted the ceiling of the St Léon Roman Catholic Church in Westmount.Born in Italy September 29, 1885, he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 1910 with high honors, and was one of the very few who finished their studies.He was accredited as a professor of both painting and architecture, and was awarded 12 medals for excellence, including four gold medals from Pope Pius XI.Guido decided to leave Italy as a young man, and sailed to the United States just as the First World War started.He lived briefly in Boston, and was advised to come to Canada.Reaching Montreal, he was recognized as a suitable artist to paint the ceiling of the St Viateur Church, the first of many, including St Léon.The two Dufresne brothers were just building their beautiful home on the corner of Pie IX boulevard and Sherbrooke street (now the Museum of Decorative Arts) and asked him to paint one of the ceilings.Whether he was involved in any other architectural aspects of the building may be doubtful.All of us who sla Portrait of a church artist © WESTMOUNT - 1er étage

In the case of republics with ceremonial presidencies, the presidential office is invariably occupied by ex-politicians who have been kicked upstairs as a political award.They make poor national symbols.The fact that the vice-regal office in Canada has been allowed to degenerate in this fashion in recent years is a sorry omen of worse things to come, should Canada ever become a republic.Moreover, it is utterly naive to suppos@ih that turning Canada into a republic woult: - resolve anglo-Quebec tensions; it would only create a new alienation.It is interesting that Jacques Parizeau has consistently refused to attack the monarchy, and would not support a boycott of the Queen's visit to Hull following the Meech Lake débacle.Canada cannot be saved by gutting its distinctive institutions and symbols, and it is foolish, if not suicidal, to suppose that it can.THE EXAMINER should know better.Alan T.Davies Department of Religious Studies Victoria College, U of T

Samir HUF), ApaiTHIS/ 1981 % City proposes to change setbacks on three streets A public consultation meeting will be held May 15 at 7 pm at city hall to discuss proposed building line changes to three streets in West- mount, it was announced at Monday's council meeting.The building line on Grosvenor avenue near Sherbrooke is to be changed from 4.2 metres to none, which means someone can build right up to the sidewalk.Councillor Peter Trent said this is intended to make that section of Grosvenor conform with the other streets in the area which abut Sherbrooke.In all cases commercial establishments are allowed to build close to the sidewalk.\u201cGrosvenor is the exception.\u201d He said there has been a previous request by the Beau Soir dépanneur on the corner of Grosvenor and Sherbrooke to have the building line changed there.Mr Trent said that request included plans to demolish the building and replace it with a more appropriate one.Mr Trent said the Beau Soir building is more of a suburban one, not urban, and that he would have no problem with a new one being built.A change is also proposed for the building line on the south side of St Catherine street from the eastern city limit to Greene avenue from 0.9 metres to three metres.That increase is because the city no longer requires that an arcade be built over the sidewalk for new buildings there.The entire building istobeset back three metres instead.The last proposed building line change is on Belvedere Place where the building line will be changed from 7.5 metres to 4.5 metres.This is to accommodate Herbert Black, who will be demolishing his mansion at 46 Belvedere Place and replacing it with a new one.Mr Trent said the purpose of this is to move the new house closer to Be- lvedere Place so that it \u201cdoesn't dominate the slope,\u201d where it is being uilt.Local police program catches on through MUC À local police campaign to prevent car theft has caught on throughout the Montreal Urban Community.Operation Hibou, the program aimed at getting Westmounters to lock up their cars, was judged to be such a good idea that all police stations are using it between April 7 and May 6 under the name Je m\u2019auto protege, officials said.Despite efforts at preventing the Sell it! Buy it! theft of and from cars, the incidence of car-related crime remains unusually high, according to crime prevention officer Gaston Bernier.Two weeks ago five cars were stolen, as many as reported in an entire month a year ago.Another five were broken into.The situation improved last week, however, when three were stolen and two broken into.HE 615 IN FURNITURE STRIPPING DECAPAGE DE MEUBLES CARPENTER | I 607 IEEE I 607 INN HOUSEHOLD SERVICES SERVICES DOMESTIQUES ROOFING Specialist: Tar, gravel, chimney repairs & painting.669-5797.Special Touch Painting Let us give your home that special touch it deserves.We provide meticulous, reliable service.Early Bird Special - 15% off jobs received before Mother's Day.Call Yvonne & Krista 345-5455 for free estimate.IAN THOMPSON RENOVATIONS We do painting, tiling, decks, fences.Any other repair \u2014 don't despair!

it has been her daytime territory for the past 10 years.She has guided it through a fund- raising effort that produced an expanded school to better serve the computer, drama, art and music departments.\u201cThe art used to be done in the dining room.We'd pull it all up to have lunch.\u201d But the renovation closest to her heart is probably the library, which doubled in size.An expansion of the stacks has bolstered the English department, which Mrs Fripp helped shape into giving a more complete, holistic approach to language.\u201cIt used to be literature and grammar.Our Grade 1 to Grade 11 teachers have been innovative in pursuing current research, and are now giving workshops to other schools in this field.\u201d Proceeds from the evening for Mrs Fripp will be used to establish The Molly Fripp Lecture Series, designed tobring \u201cone inspiring speaker every year who shares her ideals.\u201d In keeping with Mrs Fripp\u2019s love of the language, \u201cI would like authors and writers\u201d to give the lectures, she said.They would not necessarily be female (the school is all-girl), but \u201canyone who has a valid statement to make.\u201d When asked to name a favorite living author, Mrs Fripp was stymied.She asked to call back the next day, after perusing her stacks at home.When the category was broadened to include authors living and dead, she went into peals of laughter.\u201cYou're going to be bored.You're going to be very bored,\u201d she giggled.\u201cI'm really sorry, but it\u2019s Shakespeare.Maybe you\u2019ll find that clichéd, but you can still read through Shakespeare and the Bible and what you read is just as valuable now as when it was written.\u201d The next day, she called back and explained that she read so much, specifying one or another favorite was difficult.\u201cI read everything I can get my hands on.I read because I like it; poetry, a lot of women's authors, Arthurian legends, Mother Theresa, I'm very Catholic in my reading, C.S.Lewis.I go the whole Vice-principal of ECS appointed headmistress The new headmistress at Miss Edgar\u2019s and Miss Cramp\u2019s School is a familiar face to students and teachers.She is Michèle M.Gorry, who joined the school as a French teacher in 1972.Ms Gorry will act as interim headmistress for at least one year, according to Cynthia Cundill, chair of the board.She was appointed head of the French department in 1974, became assistant to the headmistress in 1981 and, four years later, vice-principal.During her tenure as head of the French department, Ms Gorry introduced three streams of French language instruction.\u201cShe has demonstrated warmth and leadership and loyalty to the school,\u201d Ms Cundill wrote in a letter to parents.Ti of Ages 2\u2019n-4/

wanted them to work to their fullest potential, to go out from our school as women leaders in the community.\u201d Having promised the board five years, and not 10, Mrs Fripp told them she was leaving two years ago.\u201cI felt I had done what I came to do.The building was built, the fund- raising completed.The best transition time is when things are going well.\u201d But she stayed on when the vice- president of the junior school was appointed to a school in Vancouver.She is leaving the year an endowment fund and financial aid program for senior students have been finalized and are ready to

not field an intercity bantam baseball squad this year because of a lack of players, a recreation official said Monday.Only six players registered while a bare minimum of 13 are required to form a team, said Mike Deegan, a Westmount recreation and culture sports supervisor.The formation of the squad was mired with troubles from the onset with recreation officials scurrying to find first a field and then a coach.Both were found, but enough players were not.Mr Deegan is optimistic that an inter-city bantam team will be fielded next year because there will be up and coming peewees plus the remaining bantams.Roads to get spring coat Painting of street lines in West- mount should begin within two weeks and end by mid-May, a public works official said.The $54,891.25 contract was awarded to

with a solution before the summer,\u2019 coordinator Robert Hryciuk told citizens attending a Neighborhoold Watch meeting Wednesday last week at the fire station.\u201cThere are several issues we still have to address regarding the boxes,\u201d Public Safety Officer Hryciuk said.An organizer of the meeting, Corinne Sévigny, said she worried that when people known to put out a blue box every week suddenly don't, then anyone casing the neighborhood would know they were away.Citizens may be asked to leave their boxes at the curb until after 5 pm, officer Hryciuk replied.Another concern was that a lone box left out at night bears an address clearly identifying the home.Officer Hryciuk expressed concern about the boxes when they were distributed and asked citizens through THE EXAMINER to leave their boxes out until the end of the day.But public works officials were busy asking citizens to bring the boxes inside as soon as they were home to not litter the street.SUMMER TIRES 40% of *
