mayor in the November elections, after receiving strong public support from Mayor May Cutler and a bevy of current and former councillors.Mr Trent, 45, announced his decision yesterday, vowing to keep up his fight to trim municipal spending, cut Montreal Urban Community bureaucracy and increase the city\u2019s political clout in Quebec.\u201cOur city is at risk and our future could be in jeopardy in Quebec if the MUC is allowed to grow unchecked,\u201d he said.\u201cI'm running to preserve the things that are worth preserving in Westmount and to keep people here without taxing them out of their houses.\u201d He is the only person to declare himself as a mayoralty candidate to date.Mr Trent, who retired two years ago after building a multi-million dollar company to market a polymer

building material he invented, set out to streamline the Westmount operation using business principles from the private sector.He has been supported in his efforts to trim fat by both the West- mount Municipal Association, of which he was vice-president from 1981 to 1983, and the Westmount Finance Action Committee.If elected, he would not be a full- time mayor in the sense of working regular hours at city hall, he said, but he would be available on a full- time basis.With only four months remaining until the municipal election Nov 3, Mr Trent said he is already working to ensure that a number of qualified people will run to fill the eight councillor seats.So far only councillors Joan Rothman and Rhoda Vineberg have expressed interest in seeking re-election, with Mrs Rothman still pondering seeking the mayoralty.{9% : RY > a Mr Trent said his campaign will be co-ordinated by longtime friend and Westmounter Victor Drury, who Continued on page two PETER TRENT Option Canada rally draws 90 National federal parties have all but abandoned linguistic minorities across Canada, said Option Canada founder Greg Gogan at an information meeting attended by more than 90 people at Westmount High School Wednesday last week.He argued that there is a political trend across the nation of growing support for federal political parties which better represent regional interests, like the Reform Party in the west and the Bloc Québécois here.He said there is no one in Ottawa battling for the rights of English- speaking Quebecers.\u201cIt's up to us to create our own federal voice,\u201d Mr Gogan said.That voice, he said, will be Option Canada, a new federal party which .wants to create an officially bilingual 11th province of southwestern Quebec.According to a party pamphlet, Option Canada wants the \u201cCanadian Constitution amended to reflect individual rights and freedoms without provincial interference.\u201d Mr Gogan said that means no more notwithstanding clause in the constitution, a clause he says all three national federal parties officially support.Rights guaranteed in a new constitution, according to the pamphlet, would include \u201cfreedom of choice in thelanguage of education in either of Canada\u2019s official languages where numbers warrant.\u201d Option Canada will no longer call for the creation of a new Canadian province if Quebec remains a province of Canada and signs the new constitution, according to the pamphlet.However, Mr Gogan said at the meeting the prospects for English- speaking Quebecers are almost as scary if Quebec chooses to stay within Confederation as if it leaves.\u201cThere's little reason to believe we\u2019ll have full individual rights within the context of a Quebec,\u201d he said.\u201cWe must create our own political space to do that,\u201d he later said.\u201cNo society should force its people to - By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI move to enjoy their rights.\u201d And now is the time to fight for those rights, said Mr Gogan, because there will be no English-speaking people left in Quebec to fight one year after a referendum on sovereignty.rGogansaid Canada\u2019s 11th province would be composed of about 1.5 percent of the land mass of Quebec and contain about 1.5 million people, half French-Canadian and the other half composed of English and ethnic Quebecers.He suggested the province could be called New Quebec (Le Nouveau Québec) and said it would have a wealthy tax base.\u201cIt\u2019s not only viable but enviable,\u201d Mr Gogan said of the proposed province.Mr Gogan spent the majority of the meeting answering questions asked by members of the crowd.When asked what the new province would do should some French communities want to separate from the new province, Mr Gogan said the Continued

talked the other day, said Ms Balosbalos, 29, softly sniffling and eyes rimmed with wet.\u201cMy family, all they had to eat was a piece of dried fish.\u201cIf only I could throw them the food I'm eating, I could help.\u201d The Philippine embassy has estimated the damage from the eruption at 4.8 billion pesos ($2.8 million).Monday, Ms Balosbalos sent her family 1,500 pesos.Soon, she will be able to send much more.Ms Cohen, of Somerville avenue, has promised that her husband will give Ms Balosbalos Philippine tragedy drives Westmounter to fundraise By ALISON RAMSEY $1,000 and the family will sponsor the emigration of her family from the Philippines \u2014 mother, father and 21-year-old younger brother.\u201cI know what tragedy is all about,\u201d said Ms Cohen, saying that her sister-in-law committed suicide, after taking the lives of her two children, a couple of years ago and, more recently, a good friend who was unable to cope with separation from his wife committed suicide.She feels strongly about the disaster in the Philippines.She has spent the past couple of days making phone calls and getting little sleep, thinking about ways to help.After contacting the Federation of Filipino-Canadian Associations of Quebec, Ms Cohen has chosen to try and appeal for help from businesses and other households that hire Filipino domestics.She is hoping to persuade them to give to the Red Cross relief effort in the Philippines, \u2018alled Canadian Red Cross, Philippine re: volcano, or to the federation.\u201cThese people have been here Continued on page two pen Tg

Bibliothèque Sécurité Publique Fire/Incendie Police Ambulance Trent has taken charge of finance department Continued from page one mounted the recent draft-Trent movement.Fully bilingual, Mr Trent served as commissioner of planning and redevelopment on the council of 1983- 87.He did not seek re-election in 1987 but was elected by acclamation in 1990 and became finance commissioner after the resignation of Councillor Phillip Aspinall.He has lived in Westmount for 15 years at 49 Rosemount avenue in Ward 3.He now represents the west-cen- tral Ward 2, between Côte St Antoine and The Boulevard.Since his return to council, Mr Trent has taken a heavy hand in engineering changes in the finance department, replacing the director general, tightening the city\u2019s budget and delving into MUC finances.Despite being one of several former councillors to call for Mrs Cutler\u2019s resignation during the mayor's confrontation with council in 1989, once he joined council he helped bridge the gap between Mayor Cutler and her colleagues by finding ways of implementing many of the changes she had spearheaded.Though he uses a different style from hers, \u201cour goals and values are surprisingly similar,\u201d he said.\u201cShe has given a slightly radical edge to our deliberations.\u201d Mr Trent intends to carry through the project to refurbish the library and considers air and noise pollution to be of pressing concern.In particular, he hopes to find a way to silence leaf blowers.On the issue of traffic, he espouses the principle that changes should not be made if there is a chance they will create problems on other streets.Mr Trent considers himself a newcomer to Westmount after growing up in England and living for a time in Ontario where he graduated from McMaster University in chemistry.\u201cI come from somewhere else, like many people now living in West- mount.This gives me another perspective and I realize the value of what we have in Westmount and 1 fight with more fervor to preserve its uniqueness.It\u2019s a residential oasis which gives it the seeds of its own destruction.\u201d His father was a councillor in the autonomous municipality of Swansea (in Toronto) which was gobbled up by the metropolitan system in 1962.The disappearance of Swansea had a profound effect on his political outlook, he said.\u201cI saw it happen so don't tell me it can't happen here.The centralizing mentality of the MUC and Quebec scares me.We need to be ever vigilant.Yesterday it was the police.Tomorrow the fire department.\u201d To this end, it is important that Westmount have a strong council, he said.\u201cIt would be horrendous for me as mayor to end up with a lame-duck council.It's always the thing that Prove democracy, says Gogan Continued from page one borders would not be a straight line.\u201cIf communities want to stay in old Quebec we'll try to accommodate them,\u201d he said.Mr Gogan expects that half the island of Montreal would be part of New Quebec.Mini referendums would determine the fate of communities.\u201cBut the lines to be drawn would depend on the referendums.\u201cQuebec keeps saying how democratic it is,\u201d Mr Gogan said.\u201cWell it\u2019s time to test that democracy.\u201d Mr Gogan said the party has attracted 1,500 to 2,000 members since it was founded last November.He expects Option Canada to be able to win the majority of the 25 to 30 federal seats in southwestern Quebec in the next federal election.\u201cWe may sweep.\u201d Mr Gogan said the fight for freedom of choice and bilingualism cannot be won provincially because it is a losing battle to argue in Quebec with French nationalists.\u201cThere\u2019s no use arguing with people fighting with their hearts.people who want their own country,\u201d he said.GREG GOGAN \u201cIt\u2019s time we became indifferent to nationalists and separatists and say, \u2018Guess what?Here is our agenda whether you like it or not.\u201d None of the four people interviewed as they were leaving the meeting wanted to give their names and all said they were not from West- mount.One woman who said her mother tongue is French said she came to find out more about the party and felt some of the ideas are good.Another woman said the party should be careful it doesn't become a party just for English-speaking people.Another elderly man said the ideas are interesting and should be expressed.He said many of the statements made by Mr Gogan seemed logical to him.Continued from page one for years, taking care of our families,\u201d said Ms Cohen.\u201cNow they have a shortage of food, housing.They're not just domestic employees, they're a part of our families.\u201d Ms Balosbalos has been with Ms Cohen for eight months.She is the third Filipino domestic she has employed.\u201cThey've always been there for me so, when I see her heart broken and feeling so lost, not able to communicate (with her family), or do anything, it breaks my heart.\u201cIf everybody reached in their pocket and pulled out $20, it doesn't have to be $1,500.\u201d She suggested that those who hire Filipino domestics could give directly to them.Ms Cohen has started her campaign by contacting local media and talking to people around West- mount.For instance, she walked into Cantor bakery on Victoria avenue and asked owner Ronnie Mof- ford if he would make a donation.He said he gave \u201ca good little chunk.\u201d \u201cIt's disastrous,\u201d \u201cYou've got to think how wide scope a volcano is.It's major league, a total devastation.\u201d \u201cResponse has been so positive,\u201d said Ms Cohen.\u201cIt\u2019s pushing me for more.\u201d She is pondering ideas such as having one day where all Filipino domestics are given the day off to go canvassing, door-to-door.Foreseeing a possible administrative nightmare, she said it would be simplest if campaigns remained in the community.Donations may be sent to the Federation of Filipino-Canadian Associations of Quebec, 5139 Deca- rie boulevard, suite 215, Montreal, H3W 3C2 or the Canadian Red Cross, 2170 René Lévesque boulevard west, Montreal, H3H 1R6.THE EXAMINER has accepted a request by Ms Cohen and will collect donations at its office, 155 Hillside avenue, and forward them to the Red Cross.The Filipino-Canadian federation, unable to obtain a fund- raising permit for itself because the appeal is international, is tied to the Red Cross permit which is he said.forthcoming, according to Dr Ms Cohen asks for community, personal support of Filipinos Genoveva

$731,800.The error appeared in the detailed listings only; correct figures were used in compilation of the averages reported in the story.THE EXAMINER regrets the error.-\u2014 me 5 ni ta \u2014\u2014

the wake of council\u2019s decision to narrow that street.Copies of a petition asking the city to rescind its June 3 resolution have been sent to 350 households on Clarke, Argyle, Montrose and Mount Pleasant avenues and The Boulevard.The petition also asks that the city conduct proper studies on how narrowing Cedar will affect neighboring streets and requests proper public consultations be held, followed by a referendum on an overall plan.A steering committee composed of representatives from area streets is now being formed.According to activists on The Boulevard, their movement is growing.\u201cI think they (area residents) are more mobilized, sensitized and agi- tated,\u201d said Maureen Kiely of The Boulevard.She said residents never believed council would vote to narrow the street since there was so much overwhelming opposition to it.Support has also grown since residents on neighboring streets began noticing increased traffic, she said.\u201cThere's no question we have strong support now,\u201d Dr Kiely said.\u2018Totally angry\u2019 Howard Hoppenheim of The Boulevard, after speaking to more than 20 area residents, summed up the mood and opinion of his neighbors this way: \u201cResidents of the area are totally angry, disappointed and questioning the motives and competence of councillors (Peter) Duffield, (Sally) Aitken, (Daniel) Tingley and in particular Rhoda Vineberg.\u201d Thursday, June 20, 1991 - 3 By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI Mr Hoppenheim says area residents are especially upset with Mrs Vineberg, not only because she is the ward councillor and the only one who voted to narrow Cedar who is seeking re-election, but because she was quoted in THE EXAMINER last week as not having remembered reading a May 30 memorandum.On June 3, those four councillors voted to narrow Cedar avenue to one 4.6-metre (15.5-foot) lane its entire length by creating a parking lane on the south side of the street and demarcating that lane permanently.They also voted to permanently narrow the access to Cedar avenue to the 4.6-metre width and install traffic lights at Cedar and Mountain avenues.Area residents were angered by the decision because they said the Artist Armand Vaillancourt has modified his work at the entrance tot Modesty panels added ps he office building at 4150 Sherbrooke street, near Elm avenue, to cover a depiction of genitals.Some local people had complained that the work, on view for several years in its original form, was not suitable for viewing by children.Photo by CHARLES ABRAMOVICI GLADSTONE MEDI-CENTRE Médecine Familiale

percent shift in traffic to The Boulevard since the city began its continuing experiment of narrowing the access to Cedar with concrete barriers.Also, council promised at an April 30 public consultation meeting that no traffic would be diverted to other streets by narrowing Cedar.Further incensed Area residents were further incensed when they learned that council voted against the recommendation of its own operational and environmental services committee.A May 30 memorandum from Bruce St Louis, Westmount\u2019s manager of operational services, to the mayor and all councillors, stated that Cedar avenue should not be narrowed to one lane because there is not enough data to prove that this would not divert traffic to other streets.The committee, according to the document, recommended instead that Cedar be rebuilt and that the city only experiment in the spring of 1992 with temporary pensinsulas to narrow the roadway to 4.6 metres to assess the impact on Cedar and neighboring streets.Ms Vineberg said Tuesday that the majority of council felt that its decision was the right one and that she is trying to arrange a meeting with residents of The Boulevard to discuss the situation on their street.She said the city will continue to monitor the action they took and the problems which exist on other streets.Fair compromise Superior Court Judge Benjamin Greenberg of Cedar avenue says council\u2019s decision was fair and reasonable compromise since residents of Cedar asked for peninsulas to narrow the street its entire length, which they didn\u2019t get.\u201cIt's unfortunate people are still upset,\u201d he said late Tuesday night.Residents of Cedar say they have a problem of dangerous speeding traffic on their street which must be CED

he engineered a city hall reorganization in which he became the chief executive, under the mayor, overseeing the operations of both council and administration.His probing has been deep, his hand firm and his insight clear.And his thoughtfulness for the citizens who care for their city and will vote next November is admirable.We have not often enjoyed so much lead time before polling day to considera candidate, for this or any other office at any government level.He leaves others who may have been contemplating the mayoralty, privately or to confidantes, with an obligation to declare themselves now or very soon or else to carry the suspicion that they are practicing the last-minute opportunism which too often characterizes elections in these parts.He also leaves at the gate the Westmount Municipal Association, which until now has fancied itself as the inheritor of an exclusive right, more appropriate to an earlier age, to put forward candidates for public office.The best the WMA now may do is endorse Mr Trent, as have a number of present and former solons, do it promptly and declare itself out of the last- minute, back-room fiddling for candidates.We hope that, win or lose in the final outcome, Mr Trent has started a trend.Mr William Cosgrove, after his disastrous last-minute parachuting into Westmount by Premier Bourassa two years ago, commendably already has declared his intention to run here again as a Liberal in the next provincial election.Riding associations of various stripes should bestir themselves from their low to non-existent profiles, crank up their under-used public participation machinery and get with it.They owe that much to those whose votes they would seek.Emergency services THE recent complaint from Westmount High School of alleged overkill by the various emergency services following calls for assistance, specially medical, is an amusing side of a serious matter.More often than not, public complaints in this realm have to do with inadequate or even nil response to even the most genuine alarms.Only last week we carried a report of a man succumbing on Grosvenor avenue in an incident in which it was stated that it took an Urgences Santé physician half an hour to reach the scene.Nonetheless, people concerned enough about a situation to ring in a request for help frequently have complained that the response far exceeded their concept of what was suitable.Swarms of emergency vehicles at the front door and various officers and crews buzzing about the premises can prove embarrassing sometimes when on the face of it such over- attention appears uncalled for.They tend to forget that the fire, police, public security, ambulance, natural gas and power people all have their various priorities and critics should be thankful they all are there and on the bit.The log books are laden with instances where a concerned citizen has called the fire brigade to check on a strange odor; the first-responders to tend someone thought to be ill; the police for some situation which arouses suspicion \u2014 which turns out to be something far more serious than it appears.We can understand the perturbation of our Mayor i: Her Worship May Cutler says.Holding down MUC budget LAST week the Conference of Suburban Mayors voted to hold the MUC budget at zero growth for next year.It\u2019s been quite a fight since Mayor Vera Danyluk of Town of Mount Royal tried to have this year\u2019s budget vetoed last December but only got 10 of the 28 CSM cities to go along.Last week\u2019s majority was a major victory in telling President Hamelin and Director-General Roquet that they would have to cut the MUC budget they presented to us by $38 million and find the money they need somewhere other than in the taxpayers\u2019 pockets.) Councillor Peter Trent's analysis of how MUC administration costs have increased and questions as to why we need so large an evaluation department if evaluations are changed only once every three years have had an impact.But what really brought the mayors around is the horror of the downloading by the Quebec government of transportation costs onto the municipalities.If that goes through and it looks m3 though it will, Westmount't portion of your taxes paid the MUC will go well over the 50 percent mark.FCM in Newfoundland Does Canada want Quebec?The mayors and councillors from cities across Canada \u2014 1,600 of them \u2014 gave a resounding \u201cYes\u201d last week at the convention of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in St John's whenever any of the speakers asked the question.Only trouble was there were hardly any Quebec mayors there to hear it.Of the 34 cities in Quebec represented, almost half were from bilingual (i.e.more than 50 percent anglophone) cities, mostly from the MUC.All the main speakers \u2014 Joe Clark, Jean Chrétien, Audrey McLaughlin and Clyde Wells \u2014 were applauded when anything pro-Quebec was mentioned.our M.N.A.Richard B.Holden says.Ready for summer THIS is the final week of the parliamentary session and the order of the day is \u201ccraziness.\u201d Fatigue, frustration and fatuousness combine to make us all happy that summer is here.I won't bore you with the legislative nonsense that goes on.But there is a lighter side to our deliberations.Example: At a breakfast meeting the other day, we were interrupted by a fire alarm which forced the evacuation of the National Assembly.As we were leaving the building, one of my PQ colleagues tried to convince me that the bell was definitely ringing in French and that anglos were not required to leave the building.My reaction was to ask him whether, along the lines of Bill 178, it was necessary to ring the bells twice as loud and twice as long school staff when all they may have is a sick student yet their call for assistance, quite properly made, brings temporary chaos to their halls of learning.We are glad that after consultation the responding personnel have agreed to try to keep a lower profile.Yet we are glad to note that the full complement of emergency people still is to respond to such calls, specially when they are made from such a potentially vulnerable place as a school full of young people.It is reassuring to the rest of the population, notably parents of the pupils.SOLEMNITY is a device of the body to hide the faults of the mind.Why did so few Quebec cities come?Because it was in Newfoundland and Clyde Wells is still blamed for the failure of Meech?Only trouble with that excuse is that the Quebec mayors didn't turn out in any record numbers when the FCM met in Quebec City last year.Are the mayors so solidly separatist?The long standing ovation given Jacques Par- izeau last year at the Union des Municipal.tés du Québec suggests that maybe they are and they don\u2019t want to hear anything that might change their minds.On the other hand, the City of Montreal was well represented in Newfoundland, where Jean Doré led the delegation.Was that only because the FCM is meeting in Montreal next year, and the city wants everyone to come and fill hotels and restaurants?Two FCM meetings in Quebec province in three years! If that isn't generous, what is?Ironically, it may be the last meeting ever of the FCM in Quebec if the sovereignty push wins out.Can cities go bankrupt?It never occurred to me as a possible solution to any city's woes, but last week Bridgeport, Connecticut, asked to put itself into bankruptcy.A novel idea.Like being born again, a popular concept in fundamentalist religions: all your sins are forgiven and you can start again.A born-again city would have its debts forgiven, its union agreements torn up and would be allowed to operate on a deficit.God luv us! Bridgeport is only the most dramatic example of the plight of American cities.In New York City, where I was a few weeks ago, the possibilities of cutting budgets threatened the turning off of every fourth streetlight, the cutting of library budgets by 33 percent and the closing down of Central Park Zoo.Many U.S.cities have stopped cleaning their streets, stopped collecting garbage, closed down parks, cut police and fire departments, increased taxes and still have deficits.Is Westmount the only city in North America to cut taxes, maintain all services and keep a surplus so it can borrow from itself if it has to?I hope we appreciate how lucky we are.to allow anglos to be saved from the conflagration.I then sat in on a committee studying a whole series of increases in penalties and fines under a raft of provincial laws.One was the Charter of the French Language (Bill 101) and Mme Louise Harel, a PQ hardliner, pointed out that the fine for putting up a bilingual sign had doubled, which she claimed was unfair.Out of my big mouth came the comment, \u201cI guess it\u2019s okay, apparently the government thinks that all anglos are rich.\u201d I added, \u201cHo, ho, ho,\u201d but nobody laughed.They say we learn from our mistakes.I'm working on it.We also had an inter-parliamentary baseball game.I was named one of the umpires \u2014 the one that works first base.Of course, I was the model of impartiality.I called everybody out except my Equality Party colleagues.It lasted only two innings.On Tuesday we were all invited to a birthday party at the Garrison Club of one of the government whips\u2019 senior aides.Appropriately, the celebrant was exactly one- half Gordon Atkinson's age.We also had a cocktail party to mark Gérard D.Lévesque's 35 years in public life.Iwill be hitting the road for the next three weeks (an extended cross-border shopping trip).I leave you with an anecdote some of you may have heard.In San Francisco, the mayor declared one day last week Jack Fong Day.Apparently some elderly customer in Mr Fong\u2019s shop had left a paper bag on the counter.It contained $250,000 in cash.Mr Fong tracked down the customer and returned the bag and the money.In presenting a commemorative plaque to Mr Fong, the mayor, who is up for re-election this year, said, \u201cThank God I don\u2019t have to run against anyone as honest as Mr Fong.\" Nice putdown, Mr Mayor.See you in three weeks.ible \u2014François de La Rochefoucauld pr ee mm pn eT \u2014 .CELIA EEE EPI 0 EO I PI Ere ototots dy CT AE EE OS à The Westmount Examiner.Thursday, June 20, 1991 - 5 mp EXAMI FI Forty-five Years Ago June 21, 1946 Advertisement by Bell Telephone: \u201cMore Long Distance calls than in wartime!

putting in an 11- hour day in the Senate.The obituaries referred to the highlights of his career.He was mayor of Windsor, a member of the Ontario Legislature, served in the cabinet of Mitchell Hepburn, was elected to the House of Commons and became the first Jewish Senator in Canada.He chaired the Senate Committee on Poverty in the early 1970s.And there was his most famous line: \u201cI'd rather march with the workers than ride with General Motors.\u201d He said this on resigning as labor minister in 1937 when Hepburn, over his objections, sided with the company during a strike.I had a particular affection for Croll.He was 91.My father is 91.\u201cWe weren't rich,\u201d Croll once said to a reporter.Neither was my father.They both went to Osgoode Hall Law School, Croll graduating in 1925 and my father in 1926.They both served overseas during the Second World War.When I spoke in the House of Commons last week, I talked about what it was like to be in caucus with Croll.\u201cHe was

attention.Gentleness is most probably common to people in their 90s.Physical strength is not their most dominant characteristic.And Croll did speak softly, often pausing during a speech.Was it to catch up to his thought or for dramatic effect?The power came as much from what he said as for how he said it.Most often he spoke about the needs of the elderly, thesick and the poor and how we had an obligation to respond to their interests.When he chaired the Senate Committee on Poverty in 1971, he recommended a guaranteed annual income for all families and individuals.\u201cIt is the only way to give people the minimum living standards to which they are entitled,\u201d Croll insisted.Last fall, during the debate on the GST, he silenced the Senate.\u201cParliament has been my life.Have you any idea what we have done to this country?There comes a time when Parliament is more important than any of us.\u201d He was optimistic about Canada\u2019s prospects.Recently, he put it this way: \u201cWe

Westmount fire department to make the school and its surroundings as secure as possible for the students.As school commissioner I realize that the school has gone through a very difficult year because

of traffic accidents involving bicycles to seven in three weeks.The first of the most recent two occurred Monday night last week when a southbound cyclist on Atwa- ter avenue, south of Dorchester boulevard, became squeezed between a parked car on his right side and a moving car on the left side.The bike hooked the car\u2019s passenger side mirror causing the rider to fall to the street.The 26-year-old Longueuil man was transported to the Reddy Boy loots grocery bag Two boys had $15 stolen from a bag of pet food they were carrying outside Place Alexis Nihon Monday last week, public safety officers said.The boys, an 1l-year-old West- mount resident and his 10-year-old friend from Mississauga, were approached by an older boy asking what they had in their bag.When they willingly opened it, the thief grabbed the money, change from the purchase, and ran off.The victims were driven to local police Station 23 by public safety officers.Examiner, Thursday, June 20, 1991 Memorial Hospital by Urgences Santé.On Friday, a 21-year-old cyclist from St Laurent was reported to have collided with a 1987 Ford on Sherbrooke street just west of Victoria avenue.Both were going east about 5:05 pm when the impact occurred, bending the bike's front wheel and twisting its seat.There was no dam- agetothecar On May 28 and May 29, two cyclists collided with carson Cote St Antoine road and on de Maisonneuve boulevard, both at Grosvenor avenue.In both cases the cyclists were going east against traffic though neither was ticketed, police confirmed.\u201cThat's left to the discretion of the officer at the scene, depending on the circumstances,\u201d explained crime prevention officer Gaston Bernier.In the first incident on Côte road, a 22-year-old N.D.G.man collided Tuesday, May 28, with

on Earnscliffe avenue in the Snowdon district collided with a northbound car about 7:40 am.He told police he thought the car would clear the intersection more quickly.Instead, he rode into it.Damage

want to be identified because he is working at another restaurant, said The Den will be a cozy neighborhood restaurant serving meals ranging in price from $3.95 to $8.95.Daily lunch and dinner specials will be offered along with sandwiches, hamburgers, salads, chicken wings, ice cream and cakes.The interior of The Den is now being renovated.Most of the stools will be replaced with booths,

show houses to strangers without meeting them first at the office and having them register their identity, according to police.In addition, women should not take customers to view a house alone at night.The security tips follow a recent sexual assault on a woman agent in the Town of Mount Royal, for which an arrest has been made.Asking clients to register would likely discourage anyone not wanting to be identified, explain police, and a rapist likely would look for an easier victim.It is also suggested that agents TY, i= \u2014 BURGLAR-PROOF SLIDING DOORS Burglaries always increase during Vacation periods when the homeowner is away.One of the favorite accesses is via the sliding glass door.Today's standard hardware for locking sliding doors is pretty flimsy and even an amateur will have no trouble in gaining entrance.But here\u2019s how you can outwit the culprit.Cut a length of dowel (or broom handle) the right length and lay it in the track between the door and the opposite jamb.No way that sliding door can be slid without removing this wedge.The groove at the top is twice as deep as the one on the bottom for casy removal.Foil this by cutting a piece of wood slightly less thick than the depth of the lower groove.Screw it into the upper groove, over the door when it\u2019s in a locked position.Now the door can\u2019t be lifted out unless it opens all the way.WINDOW WASHING HOMES e OFFICES MONTREAL WINDOW CLEANING {>} 3921363 Serving Westmount for 87 years revise their methods of holding open houses so that women are not alone in a house.They also are

eile dediedndh pind.Advk bh 3 Lil bt x bw ET AE 8 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, June 20, 1991 Permanent lights being added to three outdoor skating rinks Westmount is spending about $30,500 to make its outdoor skating rinks more cost-effective next year.The city expects to save $18,000 per year by installing permanent lights, a permanent water supply for Devon Park and buying a tractor attachment to mechanically blow snow off the rinks.The permanent lights will be installed for the Westmount Park, King George Park and Prince Albert Park rinks.The city expects further savings within the next two to four years, when rink maintenance will start to be contracted out.These recommendations, made by the administration in May, were accepted by council to be implemented in time for next winter.Follow survey The recommendations followed a survey of the use of Westmount's six hockey and two skating rinks this past season.Though the recreation department's survey has been deemed inconclusive by director of operations Bruce St Louis, the department will conduct surveys in future years to try and solidify the statistics.But first, the ice has to solidify.This year the skating season did not start until Jan 5 and ended Feb 17.Rinks were open just three days in February, due to two major thaws and a snowstorm in between.The rinks were usable fora total of just 28 days, compared to 59 the previous year.\u201cAt best,\u2019 the report to council states, \u201c(the survey) is an indicator of which rinks experience the heaviest use.\u201d While rinks at Westmount Park and Prince Albert Park racked up to 27 and 21 skaters, respectively, on a single Saturday, the average use was much lower, at four and eight skaters.The averages for Stayner and King George Park skating (not hockey) rinks showed the least use.The survey was conducted before and after the dinner hour on weekdays and three times on weekends, around 1:30 pm, 5 pm and 7:30 pm.According to the Oliver Mangione recreation and culture survey done this past year, 15.5 percent of residents use outdoor rinks often and 13.9 percent use them occasionally.But of the remainder, a full 93.5 percent were satisfied with the rinks which \u201creflects the importance that residents attach to outdoor rinks, even if they are not the most heavily used recreational facility,\u201d according to the rink usage report.Costs in line The cost-saving measures will bring the cost of maintaining West- mount rinks more in line with St Lambert, which has the same number of hockey and skating rinks, but will still be far above what is spent by Kirkland, which also has the same number of rinks.Westmount budgeted $130,000 last winter for the rinks, St Lambert set aside $107,000 and Kirkland $53,000.Mr St Louis said the city has not explored why there is such a difference between Kirkland and the others, though he said the rinks in that community are bunched together, whereas Westmount's are widely spread throughout the city.\u201cIt will be interesting to see how they generated it (the number),\u201d said Mr St Louis.What will affect the numbers, he said, is a new system of costing that will be used in future.Instead of charging snow removal of park paths to the rink budget, it will now be charged to parks.ERRATUM The Queen Mary Hardware ad of June 18 should have read Also available at: LES

annee Ca Era - Carifête parade may turn tail and head west through city Get out your dancing shoes and your brightest clothes.The Carifête may be returning to Westmount after five years.The annual parade which celebrates Canada Day, Caribbean-style, is scheduled to calypso along Sherbrooke street from Atwater to Elmhurst avenue in N.D.G.Saturday, June 29.Except for a small snag.The City f estmount has not issued a per- \u2018ust, said public security director Richard McEnroe.Application for a permit has been made to the city and may be granted once plans are solidified today or tomorrow, he said.The event also involves the city of Montreal.Should the parade proceed through Westmount, security would be co-ordinated by Montreal Urban Community police from downtown Station 25 rather than at West- mount\u2019s Station 23, said local crime prevention officer Gaston Bernier.The magnitude of the event would require the resources of the larger station, he explained.The parade has travelled east finishing in downtown Montreal since 1987.Previously, it went west through Westmount for four years, forcing the closure of side streets intersecting with Sherbrooke street for up to two hours.The 1991 Cariféte activities take place under the theme Together we aspire, together we achieve and are planned to bring together citizens of all cultures.The festival is sponsored by the Black Community Council of Quebec, the Entrepreneurs Club and the city of Montreal.A week of festivities leading up to the parade will be launched this Saturday with a calypso monarch competition and a children\u2019s carnival on Sunday.Information can be obtained from the community council or Pat Dillon at 989-7373.PSO role restricted By LAUREEN SWEENEY Public safety officers will no longer be sent to fire department calls, including those for medical response, unless assistance is specifically requested by the senior fire officer, it was announced this week.The change went into effect Monday at 7:30 am to eliminate duplication of services and free up public safety officers for more basic park and street patrols for which their force was created.It is the first concrete change in a series that are under study to streamline services in the fire and public security departments as was announced last year, said city operations manager Bruce St Louis.\u201cLast year public safety officers were called away from other duties to answer 1,328 fire department calls where they were not needed,\u201d explained Fire Chief Jim Adams, who has taken a strong position in the matter.\u201cIt's also led to duplication of reports.\u201d A study is now under way of services in both departments, he said.\u201cWe're trying to put together a proper plan which would put the public security back to its original purpose as being the eyes and ears of the police.\u201d A more minor change, also instituted Monday, calls for public safety officers to answer calls for exterior water leaks which can be more efficiently checked with one van than a parade of fire vehicles.They will then refer the problem to water crews.Firefighters will continue to respond to all interior water problems, including outside broken mains or pipes that threaten to flood homes.The most significant change in the new policy comes in the handling of medical calls dispatched by Urgences Santé to the fire department's first responder unit.It is in this area that many complaints have been made at city counitil aid other public meetings concerning duplication of response.The Westmount Finance Action Committee has been asking for change and, most recently, West- mount High School principal Richard Meades complained that too Renovate with Confidence with Certified Professionals Specializing

Westmount has scrapped a plan to hire an outside person, namely a police director from the Montreal Urban Community, to integrate the city\u2019s fire and public security services.Councillor Paul Fortin, who had been working out the plan with the MUC, said Tuesday that arrangements with a specific candidate had proved too costly.It was also abandoned with the hiring of the city\u2019s new director general.The cost of hiring a temporary director of protective services, as the position was designated, could be justified for a two-year period but not longer, as the candidate wanted, Mr Fortin said.Instead, integration of services in the two departments is being undertaken by city operations manager Bruce St Louis on recommendations from both departments.À director of protective services might be chosen from within the city at a later date, he said.> The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, June 20, 1991 - 9 City will bear higher proportion of MUC costs By LAUREEN SWEENEY How much more of the MUC pie will Westmount have to eat next year?How much will the Ryan cuts in transfer payments to the Montreal Urban Community cost Westmount taxpayers?A meeting between top officials of the MUC and Westmount city council members Tuesday at city hall failed to produce any concrete figures but did underline a startling reality: Whatever the transit deficit brought about by Quebec cuts in transfer payments, whatever the cost of operating the MUC, whatever the increase in the new property valuation roll, Westmount\u2019s share will rise disproportionately.Because of the change in calculating property valuations for 1992 that will see them rise to 100 percent of market value from 90 percent of past years, Westmount taxpayers can expect to shoulder an increased share even if costs do not increase a penny.That's why it's so important to Westmount that the MUC cut its budget or at least adopt a zero-growth budget for 1992, said Mayor May Cutler.The visit to Westmount by MUC director general Louis Roquet and evaluations director Gilles Racicot came on the heels of a suburban mayors\u2019 meeting last Thursday where a resolution was re-adopted asking the MUC to adopt a zero- growth budget.It was the first time Westmount\u2019s finance and administration committee sat down with Mr Roquet and Councillor Peter Trent described it as \u201cvery worthwhile.\u201d Mr Roquet appeared to be introducing longterm planning procedures used in private industry to the MUC, Mr Trent said.\u201cHe says the MUC has to decide Visit our \u201cIdea\u201d Showrooms and experience the distinctiveness of superb European ceramic tile and accessories.whether it is going to be a regional government or a service co-op.If it is to be another level of government then it has to plan accordingly.\u201d Mr Trent has been advocating the MUC return to its basic role as coordinator of regional services such as police and transportation, for which it was founded before it added many other areas such as culture and parks.Both Mr Trent and Mayor Cutler said they found the MUC officials to be sensitive to Westmount's concerns.It is vital that the MUC transit system not use the Ryan cuts as an excuse to inflate its deficit in excess of the shortfall in subsidies, Mr Trent said.Complete Center Sales & Service all year round * Repairs Parts & Accessories for all B.B.Q.s

Examiner, Thursday, June 20, 1991 De Maisonneuve apartment repairs court case deferred to July 25 By CHARLES ABRAMOVICI The City of Westmount will return to Superior Court July 25 to try and force the owner of an apartment building at 4123-29 de Maisonneuve boulevard to carry out repairs.A Superior Court judge issued a interim court order May 30 forcing Denbigh Properties Inc to repair a fire alarm system there and deferred ruling on 14 other points of contention.Last Thursday, the case was once again deferred until July 25 to allow lawyer Ura Greenbaum, a shareholder of Denbigh Properties, to cross-examine three of Westmount's city inspectors \u2014 Michel Tassé, Joseph Greco and Guy Tassé \u2014 who outlined in affadavits the outcome of inspections at the buildings.They were cross-examined at Mr Greenbaum\u2019s office last Thursday afternoon in the presence of a court stenographer.According to a public court document, the City of Westmount is asking the court to force Denbigh Properties to address the following points so the building will conform to municipal by-laws: ° To install a single station smoke Motor cleaner used liberally A young man received some green advice from public safety officers Saturday afternoon when caught flushing residue from a cleaning agent into the sewer outside 67 Prospect street.The local resident had been washing the motor of his father\u2019s car when he was informed that using it less liberally was more environmentally friendly.detector in each dwelling; » To service the portable fire extinguishers immediately; * To maintain in proper working order at all times the fire alarm and emergency lights; To test immediately and on a monthly basis the fire alarm and emergency lights; To make available approved records of all testing to the authority having jurisdiction; To maintain illuminated at all times the exit lights in the buildings; * To remove all illegal storage of combustible materials located on fire escapes and basement areas of the buildings; * To maintain in proper working order the automatic door closing devices; * To lock and keep locked the main entrance doors, and repair any defects in the those entrance doors; * To repair the pull station on the ground floor of the building located at 4123 de Maisonneuve; * To repair the rear balconies and paint the steel fire escapes of the buildings; * To install devices designed to prevent the perching, roosting and nesting of pigeons on the buildings; and * Tomaintain in a clean and sanitary condition at all times the hallways, staircases, common areas, and laundry rooms of the buildings.The city's legal initiatives were taken after a member of a newly- formed Denbigh Tenants\u2019 Association complained to council May 6 about the condition of the buildings.Mr Greenbaum has denied the allegations and doubts the legitimacy of the tenants\u2019 association.He says some tenants have told him the association does not represent their views.Professional Cards o 6575 Somerled, Suite 4 Montreal, Quebec H4V 1T1 UN NOTAIRES - NOTARIES ME ALBERT LABRECHE, B.A, L.L.L.ME GUY MEURY, B.A., L.L.L.Tel: 486-3680 Fax: 486-6026 anxiety arthritis

Monteal Urban Community police at Station 23, which covers Westmount: Bomb threat plus demand for cash Someone called Villa Ste Marcelline school last Thursday, demanding $5,000 and saying a bomb had been left on the property, police said.The suspect called twice.On both occasions the building at 815 Upper Belmont avenue was searched inside by school officials and outside by police.Police policy is to delegate interior searches of buildings to people who work there who are more likely than officers to recognize a strange parcel, explained Constable Gaston Ber- nier.The calls were received at 8:55 am and at 10 am.Woman pushed Police were called to a West- mount home Monday night last week when a woman was pushed and fell to the ground.À man identified as living at the same address was arrested in connection with conjugal violence.He was later released without charges when it was discovered the woman was not injured, police said.Further details were not available.Wind fells limbs Two cars were hit in West- mount Wednesday last week when tree limbs were blown down in heavy wind, police said.A 1984 Toyota Tercel was scratched when the branch crashed down outside 370 Lans- downe avenue about 5 pm.The second car, a 1991 Mercedes 300E, was hit on the roof and trunk at 7 pm outside 20 Grenville avenue.Passport stolen in apartment break-in Items were discovered missing last Thursday from apartments in the joint buildings at 201 Met- calfe and 200 Kensington avenues, police report.It was not known if the incidents were related.Jewelry and a passport disappeared from one seventh-floor apartment in the first building between 8:30 am and 8 pm while $50 in cash vanished from a third- storey unit between 6:30 amand 8 pm.There were no signs of forced entry in either place.Truck abandoned Anyone know a resident of New Jersey who's lost a grey 1991 Eagle Talon?The owner of the mystery car is being sought after it appeared to have been abandoned on Melville avenue a few weeks ago, police said.The car is registered in the state but not reported stolen.It was finally taken to the city pound Tuesday last week while police tried to contact the owner.A previous attempt to tow the car was aborted when the towing company refused to move the four-wheel drive vehicle for fear of damaging it.A platform truck was finally used.Cop crashes car A rookie police officer crashed her patrol vehicle into the cement median that divides St Catherine street west of Lans- downe avenue Saturday night, police said.No injuries were reported.The accident took place about 8:30 pm in rain when the car was being driven north up Glen road.As it started to turn left, control was lost and turned 270 degrees into the barrier.No other vehicles were involved.Province fined for lacking fence around St Margaret's By LAUREEN SWEENEY The Quebec government's housing body has been fined $625 in West- mount Municipal Court for failing to provide secure fencing last summer around the construction site of the St Margaret's nursing home.Judge A.Keith Ham ordered Corporation d\u2019Hébergement du Québec (Cogerex) to pay fines of $100 plus costs for hoarding violations documented by public safety officers on five occasions last June and September at 50 Hillside avenue.Sentencing follows a number of postponements in which the defendant argued it was the contractor who should be held responsible, court officials explained.The case had been before the courts since last September when charges were laid.The building has been occupied since April.The defendant finally pleaded guilty on all five counts and sentencing was rendered May 7.The case was one of four obtained by the city's board of inspections over the past two months regarding violation of city by-laws related to fire, building safety and maintenance, according to court officials.Owners of an apartment block on Grosvenor avenue were fined $1,500 plus costs for seven different counts.Judge Ham ordered 138782 Canada Ine, owners of 435-437-439 Grosvenor, to pay the fines with $18.53 in costs after they pleaded guilty to all charges.These included failure to maintain both the rear yard and garbage area free from combustible materials as well as failure to repair the rear fence, alleged to be in dangerous condition.They also were charged with failing to maintain the automatic door- closing devices and emergency lights in good working order, to keep corridors and stairwells free of obstruction and to test the fire alarm and emergency lights on a monthly basis and provide required records.Charges were laid in November.In two other cases, owners of two adjoining houses were fined for violations related to construction of a rear deck.Both pleaded guilty to building the deck without the required permit, using combustible material for its construction within three feet of the building line and failure to respect rear yard setbacks.Mataman Inc, of 38 Windsor avenue, was fined $350 plus $37.03 in costs for the offences while Philip Abbey, of 40 Windsor, was ordered to pay $300 and $29.94 in costs.The charges dated back to last Septem- er.Car splattered Police arrested a man on a shooting spree in the Tupper lane behind the Reddy Memorial Hospital Monday night last week.He was released when the \u201cvictim,\u201d a green Toyota, suffered no lasting effects from the bullets.A trip to the car wash was all it needed to clean off the red paint that had been splattered from paint bullets.The \u201cweapon\u201d was described as a type of gun used in war games to produce a bloodied effect.A 22-year-old man from St Leonard was arrested for vandalism when police witnessed the shooting spree about 10:50 pm.He was later unconditionally released.Balcony theft A toy box and a small wooden table were discovered missing from the front balcony of a house on Grosvenor avenue last Thursday noon, police said.The home is located north of Sherbrooke street.What, no frame?Two bicycle wheels and a seat were found outside Manoir West- mount Saturday by public safety officers.They were taken to police Station 23.Bike removed to paint pole A green-and-white bicycle had to be removed from a sign post where it was locked outside 4200 Dorchester boulevard last Thursday so the pole could be painted, public safety officers said.A white BMX bike also was found at Prince Albert avenue and Sherbrooke street last Thursday night.Both were taken to local police Station 23.Angry boyfriend charged with assaulting cop A lover's quarrel last week ended with a 20-year-old West- mount man being charged with assault on a police officer while his girlfriend, who might have been intoxicated, was taken to hospital.The incident occurred in the apartment building at 30 Stanton street across from the police station.The girlfriend had locked herself in the bathroom after a spat with her boyfriend.The suspect's mother, concerned about the girlfriend, went over to the police station about 2:35 am to solicit help in opening the bathroom door.When police went to help, the distraught boyfriend decided to break down the door.When they found the girlfriend lying on the floor unresponsive, Urgences Santé was called.As soon as the suspect saw ambulance attendants strapping the girlfriend on to the stretcher, he became very upset, police said.He was finally arrested for assault, for allegedly interfering with police work.The mother accompanied the girlfriend to hospital.9) re EEE Cross pape ee ape CES EET Residents complaining about

accessible, especially since the city has already budgeted $30,000 for the task.As of two Sundays ago, the toilets in Westmount Park, Prince Albert Park and King George Park were not yet accessible to the handicapped, she said.Stayner Park is the only park which has wheelchair-accessi- ble washrooms.Bruce St Louis, Westmount\u2019s manager of operations, told Ms Moore when she brought up the issue at the last council meeting, June 3, that the city is now in the process of planning the work and should have a timetable within a few weeks.But Ms Moore, who helped thecity do a study of which places are accessible to the handicapped in West- mount, said good weather represents virtual liberation for people in wheelchairs and the washrooms should be ready: soon if they are to help anyone.Wheelchair-accessible toilets have larger stalls, higher seats and a grab bar.If thecity is going to be a leader on handicap issues and ask businesses to provide accessibility, then the city should move quicker on these issues, Ms Moore said.\u201cIt seems to me they're extremely slow on moving on anything to do with the disabled,\u201d she said, pointing out there is not yet an elevator in city hall, as was also promised.While the disabled may not be a vocal group they are certainly a very needy group, Ms Moore said.Maison de change Since 1977 208 Greene Avenue, Westmount Forexco

at least $2,000 per truck per year by installing automatic tire chains during the winter season.\u201cIt appears definitely viable,\u201d said Fred Caluori, Westmount\u2019s director of public works.The automatic system, which costs about $2,500 per vehicle, is expected to be installed on two salt trucks and one fire truck to test its effectiveness before the next winter season.If public works is satisfied with the performance of the chains, the system will be installed on the three other salt trucks.It might also be installed on remaining fire vehicles.Mr Caluori said one public works truck in a year can go through six sets of chains (at a cost of $2,000 a year), four sets of four rear tires at $2,000 per year and need suspension repairs of about $1,000 per year.The permanent chains, needed because of Westmount\u2019s hills, damage the tires and the suspension on the truck, damage the road, cause discomfort to the driver and make a lot of noise.Mr Caluori estimates that the city could save at least $2,000 a year per vehicle by installing the \u201cOnspot automatic tire chain\" because they will only be used when needed.Savings on the fire vehicles are expected to be less because they are not used as extensively as salt trucks.Manufacturer's sketch shows how automatic truck chain system is positioned when in operation.The device is activated by a switch on the dashboard which lowers a \u201cchainwheel\u201d which contacts the inside of the tire, flailing chains in front of the tire.The wheels roll over the constantly spinning chains.According to company literature, six lengths of chain spaced at 60- degree intervals on the chainwheel ensure that there are always two chains between the tire and road surface whether accelerating, braking or in wheel lockup.Mr Caluori learned of the automatic tirechains while attending the American Public Works Association snow conference held at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel last week.Vandals trample summer blooms

old, celebrate 50 years The first reunion of the No 1 (West Montreal) Squadron, on its 50th anniversary, was a weekend-long revelry of air cadet life.On Saturday, cadets from six squadrons got up bright and early to begin preparation of their parade from the Royal Montreal Regiment along St Catherine street to city hall, where they were reviewed by retired Maj-Gen J.A.Stewart, CD.Maj-Gen Stewart, who now hails from Kingston, was one of the first cadets to receive his pilot's licence.He graduated the air cadets in 1947.Mayor May Cutler made a speech, gleaned from the cadet\u2019s written history, remarking that the air cadet league was started in response to the fighting style of the Second World War, when \u201cthe critical need was for planes and more planes \u2014 and for trained young men to fly them.\u201d The cadet league lost some support once the war ended, but stayed alive because of the broad vision, for young men to \u201cimprove their knowledge and increase their usefulness to the community.\u201d The aims of the program are \u201cto develop in youth the attributes of good citizenship and leadership; to promote physical fitness; and to stimulate their interest in the seas, land and air elements of the Canadian Force.\u201d Between 60 and 80 of the former cadets showed up at the reunion.The anniversary committee contacted about 500 former cadets and, in November last year, said about 125 were interested in attending.\u201cI would have liked to see a lot more,\u201d said Capt Lloyd MacIntyre.\u201cI know former COs in Prince George and Ontario can\u2019t make it because of financial stress, or business commitments.\u201d Doing quite well Some may be in financial trouble but others are doing quite well.Many who returned are in the aviation field, or with companies such as Canadian Aviation Electronics and Canadair, said Capt Maclntyre.There are a fairnumber of doctors, as well.Capt MacIntyre accounted for former cadets\u2019 success by saying, \u201cThey gain confidence through doing this.They come in at 12 or 13.You talk to them and they get red in the face, they're too shy to assert themselves.In four or five years\u2019 time, they are doing the leading, taking control of the situation.Was it all just a dream?Was it only a dream?Fire trucks screamed along Sherbrooke street at 3 am Sunday when called to a house on Somerville avenue where a woman had called to report a fire in the home.When firefighters arrived on the scene, they encountered a woman who told them her jacket had been on fire.They checked the house as well as the jacket and no fire was found, fire officials said.The woman was reported as saying she could have fallen asleep and dreamed her jacket was ablaze.\u201cThis is great for their foundation in civilian life.\u201d : The West Montreal squadron was the first in existence, only then it was called No 1 (Westmount) Squadron.It grew to a strength of about 400 boys during the Second World War.< As

Thursday, June 20, 1991 \\23 * Marilyn Tobman named Home care for kids offered Roslyn School principal Marilyn Tobman, principal of Edinburgh School in Montreal West, will become Roslyn School's principal in September.Mrs Tobman, 46, has been principal of Edinburgh for 11 years, and was formerly principal of Sir Arthur Currie School in N.D.G.Before that, she was a consultant in the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal\u2019s curriculum department.\u201cI'm very pleased she's accepted,\u201d said PSBGM commissioner Joan Rothman.When asked if she will stay in a, for five to eight years, as «, sired by parents who drafted criteria for the next principal, Mrs Tob- man answered, \u201cI have that many years until I retire.\u201d Mrs Tobman was, essentially, transferred by the board in a decision that will be finalized at its next meeting on Wednesday.\u201cMy reaction was very favorable,\u201d she said.\u201cThere are many aspects of Roslyn School I find very attractive.It is a progressive school, innovative, they try new ideas.\u201d She touched ones such as the Challenge program, computer and after- school programs, \u201cand I can go on and on.\u201d Mrs Tobman also pointed out the benefits of having both a French immersion and English stream.Edinburgh School has the notoriety of being on the news just prior to registration, when parents line up, days in advance, in freezing temperatures, to hopefully sign up their children in one of the few available spaces.\u201cThe school enjoyed an excellent reputation in the community,\u201d explained Mrs Tobman.\u201cIt has an excellent teaching staff and a very cooperative environment between staff, parents and the community at MARILYN TOBMAN large.The mix produced a very warm, friendly environment.\u201cIt\u2019s one of these situations where everyone pulled together.I'd like for something like that to continue.\u201d Though Mrs Tobman has visited Roslyn School before, she made her first extended visit Tuesday, to start and get to know the school from Bertha Dawang, who is retiring June 28.Mrs Tobman is not yet familiar enough with the school to know what Edinburgh programs she may want to try and incorporate.\u201cHopefully, I'll bring with me an open mind, a willingness to do whatever I can do for the children.\u201d Mrs Tobman will take up her new post when she returns from vacation, in

protection checks and must provide references, and they are supervised.All caregivers receive training in early childhood education.Due to the small adult/child ration, children receive more

operator collaborate on book Westmounters Barbara Kaiser and Judy Sklar Rasminsky have had a long relationship.Eight-and-a-half years ago, Ms Kaiser had finished her master\u2019s degree in educational administration and realized she needed to find a job.But she couldn't find suitable daycare for hersecond child.\u201cI realized I had to start my own.\u201d So she set to work with other parents, organizing Garderie Narnia.Ms Rasmihsky was involved in setting up the centre and was on the parent board.\u201cParents want to find quality care for their children, but they don\u2019t know what to look for.Sometimes when they phoned, I would have to tell them what questions to ask,\u201d says Ms Kaiser.So after a couple of years of talking about it, the two decided to write a book.The Daycare Handbook, published by Little Brown Canada, and selling for $18.95, offers advice on every aspect of daycare for children from infancy to school-age.Two years\u2019 effort Once they were clear about what they wanted to do, it took them about two years to write the book.\u201cIt was very much a collaborative effort.I would write a rough draft and Judy would back it up with research and make it readable.Then we would sit and discuss it \u2014 the things she had understood and the places where she had misunderstood me.Then we would discuss it until we both felt it was right.\u201d The result is an easy-to-read 402- page paperback book that includes appendices, notes, a bibliography and an extensive index.For parents who get to the point of checking out a number of options, questionnaires By JANET COUTTS that can easily be photocopied for multiple use are included at the ends of chapters.\u201cThe thing about looking for daycare is that it's really confusing,\u201d says Ms Rasminsky.\u201cWe wanted to be as specific as possible.You have to know what to ask for, how to look for things that are important to you and that are important for your child.That\u2019s what the checklists are about.\u201cWe tried to not overlook the obvious, because what's obvious to one is not obvious to another.\u201d \u201cWe made an effort not just to give parents the questions to ask, but to explain why they are asking the questions,\u201d says Ms Kaiser.Ms Kaiser says she had one primary reason for writing The Daycare Handbook, subtitled A Parents\u2019 Guide to Finding and Keeping Quality Daycare in Canada; she wants better daycare available for all children that need it.\u201cIf parents were demanding the best, the lower quality places would have to improve,\u2019 she said.\u201cThis book tries to tell parents what they have a right to demand.It has been an upward struggle, and there have been no great advances.\u201d Pre-schools not regulated There are some things that parents don't realize, she says.\u2018I can't stress too much that pre-schools are not regulated in Quebec, and now some of them are becoming illegal daycare centres.When parents need more than four hours of care, instead of referring them to daycare centres, some pre-schools are trying to accommodate the parents.\u201d In daycare centres, there are regulations about staff; child ratios, staff training and so on.PANTS REG.$75-$95 SALE $39.99- $49.99 SHIRTS REG.$65- $85 SALE $29.99.$39.99 SWEATERS REG.$150-$175 SALE $79.99- $99.99 SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE Exceptional savings at JJ.Farmer

negative about pre-schools fulfilling their role \u2014 just about their being used as daycare centres.And the book outlines the advantages and the disadvantages of pre-schools, just as it does for nannies, babysitters, family or home daycare and daycare centres.The two women are now promoting the book, which should be available in local bookstores within the next two weeks.\u201cOur publishers are a bit surprised at the response,\u201d said Ms Kaiser.\u201cThere are so many women in media today who are very concerned with the issue, so the reaction is very satisfactory.\u201d However, the two do not foresee cross-Canada publicity tour.Th will go to Toronto, where they will be interviewed on national TV and radio programs.\u201cYou don't have to go across the country to get nationwide coverage,\u201d Ms Kaiser points out.Ms Kaiser says she likes to concentrate on one project at a time, but she is not ruling out the possibility of a second book.\u201cI just hope this one makes an impact.But school-age daycare needs its own book.\u201d Squirrel smoked out of existence A concerned neighbor called public safety officers to check out a squirrel writhing in pain in a garden on Winchester avenue June 5.Children at the scene were reported as saying their mother, who was not home at the time, was trying to \u201csmoke out\u201d a family of squirrels nesting in the ceiling of the back porch.The animal had been in distress since morning, said officer Michel Godon who took it to the SPCA where it was euthanized.Asked what action would be taken to enforce the city\u2019s by-laws prohibiting harming or poisoning wildlife, public security director Richard McEnroe told THE EXAMINER that the residents involved would be contacted and informed of the by-law.Another young squirrel was taken to the SPCA June 6 after it was believed to have fallen off hydro lines at 434 Metcalfe avenue.Holiday hours at libraries The Atwater Library will be closed from Saturday, June 22,

The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, June 20, Continued from page five many Westmounters for a great number of years.However, recent developments are spoiling this park for the public at large by reducing the green space that is available to them.It all started with a small community garden on the west side of the park.With the construction of St Margaret's Home, the space was lost.However, in 1990 a much larger area was allocated for community gardens in the northwest corner of the park.Then about a year later a hideous five-foot steel fence was built to enclose the defined area.Now, to my amazement, the northeast corner has been designated another community garden.Where will it end?I visit this park daily and enjoy this beautiful area.However, I feel it isbecoming over-developed with community gardens and strongly recommend that the northeast corner be kept free of them as the one in the northwest corner is more than enough for a small park.Peter Marler 4300 de Maisonneuve boulevard WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 3C7 Cedar decision taken before new committee met A copy of the following letter to Bruce St Louis, Westmount\u2019s manager of operational services, has been sent to THE EXAMINER: Dear Mr St Louis: In keeping with our conversation of this afternoon (June 11), I wish to reiterate my reasons for resigning from the \u201cCommittee That Might Have Been.\u201d To review briefly, at a rather heated meeting of Westmount city council on April 30 concerning the problem of potential changes in traffic flow on The Boulevard and Cedar avenue if Cedar were to be narrowed, you asked me if I would serve on a committee to plan a study that would provide valid data concerning this matter upon which a decision might be based.I raised the question with you, at that time, as to whether it wouldn't be a better idea to look at traffic patterns throughout the city of Westmount and use models that have already been established in other cities throughout North America for this purpose but you indicated that our \u201cmandate\u201d as a committee would be to look only at The Boulevard and Cedar avenue.I agreed to do this and you were to call me in order to establish a meeting time.You called my office about a week later and I believe that the initial date proposed for the meeting was May 31.However, such a meeting date was postponed by you due to the unavailability of another participant.On May 30 or 31 you called my office to advise that the meeting was on again for able to be at the meeting on such short notice, as you know, and it was certainly my impression that the meeting had been cancelled again and rescheduled for today, June 11,at 4 pm.To my astonishment, however, I read in the last issue of THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER that on June 3, the city council had taken a decision to go ahead with the narrowing of Cedar avenue to one lane.Hence, even if there was a meeting held on Friday, May 31, it seems unlikely that any study was performed during the weekend to allow a decision to be made by Monday evening.In my discussion with you this afternoon (June 11), you indicated that council \u201cfelt that they had adequate information to make this decision,\u201d which makes the activity in which we were going to take part seem rather foolish.Indeed, once again, one has to wonder what kind of enormous pressure could be brought to bear on council in order to have them make this decision, knowing full well that they lacked the information with which to do so.For my own part, I don't know whether the narrowing of Cedar avenue is a good or bad idea or if the traffic patterns will change forthe better or forthe worse.On the other hand, I know that what is being done is occurring without any rational forethought and without valid experimental data.It would appear that neither our mayor nor most of our present councillors intend to run again in the next election for the city of Westmount.What an enviable situation to be in; if something goes wrong, not to be in place to explain how or why the decision was taken.On the other hand, if the decision will have been correct, I have no doubt that there will be a great deal of shouting of, \u201cOh, what a good person was I!\u201d I am thoroughly disappointed in the process and its outcome.Phil Gold, MD 3225 The Boulevard WESTMOUNT PQ H3Y 154 Editor\u2019s Note: When the Cedar decision was taken by council, Mayor May Cutler, while unable to vote, expressed her strong opposition to the decision.Councillor Peter Trent also opposed the plan and Councillors Paul Fortin and Joan Rothman were absent.Let's find out cost of \u2018modest\u2019 library changes Four directors of the Westmount Finance Action Committee (WFAC) attended the information meeting on the evening of May 29 at which architect Peter Rose reviewed his plans and recommendations.There is a consensus among a number of Westmount residents that our library needs modernization and upgrading.The question REMODELING?Call the experts!

involving as they do large expenditures to change the park environment around the library and the demolition of an existing structure, which while not ideal, is in excellent condition.The WFAC, composed of members with different views on architecture and the functions of public buildings, does not wish to engage in a debate on the architectural merits of the plans but to make the following recommendations: 1.°The cost of a more functional solution should be established.2.\u2018Council! should be prepared to finance such solution within present and future budget surpluses or borrowing by-law.Recent illegal over-taxation surpluses retained as a cushion promised to alleviate against imminent tax increases should not be used.3.\u2018The difference between the cost of the functional and the Rose solution should be raised by private subscription before the project is undertaken.We believe that those who wish to make an extraordinary architectural statement in Westmount should not be denied.We are not against dreams, only dreams at taxpayers\u2019 expense.Ât the same time we do not feel it is fair to saddle hard-pressed taxpayers with the cost of reflecting pools and other elements of the Rose proposal, which are far from necessary.We have here a possible mix of a businesslike municipal approach and private initiative, a combination which we have advocated for years but which has found only limited favor so far.Rolland Benard Chair, WFAC PO Box 173, Victoria Station WESTMOUNT PQ H3Z 2V5 Law favors tenants at landlords\u2019 expense I read with concern the plight of some tenants, however, 1 think it is often not brought out that some landlords also have to suffer from certain inequalities of the laws governing landlord-tenant relations.Whereas in Ontario a set rent increase is published every year, here the rent is increased on last year\u2019s expenses.We have already been informed that municipal taxes are to increase next year.The tenants will only start paying for this six to nine months later, whereas the landlord has to find this money up front.I personally was informed, not two weeks ago, that the monthly rent could be paid 15 days in arrears, which statement was supported by reference to the Régie du logement and the fact that my tenant\u2019s friends included lawyers.In addition any judgment made by the Régie may take up to two or three months to obtain (together with the time waiting for a hearing), during which period the aggrieved party, whether tenant or landlord, has to suffer without recourse to the normal avenues of law.E.J.Adye 3453 Peel street MONTREAL PQ H3A 1W7 Chinese architects face basic issues The campus where I now work has no English department, though one course I gave in literature, requiring much preparation, is for Chinese teachers of English, and here I have been doing Virginia Woolf and James Joyce.The regular departments range through metallurgy, construction and civil engineering and architecture, my personal interests being closest to those of architecture students, who may draw pictures similar to the kind like to draw.I think often about these fledgling architects, who are freshmen, wondering what kinds of structures they will design in the coming years.This institute is said to have one of the best architecture departments in China.The most recent depictions of buildings I have seen \u2014 watercolors of hotels for example \u2014 make China at one with an international architectural style, and I hope this country\u2019s distinctive stylistic heritage will not become too diluted.A pressing question is that of the individual rights and the private vision of the artist-architect in the face of public demands.This came to popular attention in the West in the 1940s with the appearance of Ayn Rand\u2019s The Fountainhead, a novel about ideas about the incorruptible architect Howard Roark.One might wish that the film made from this novel (Gary Cooper, 1948) would be shown here so that architectural students might be exposed to the issues.But Chinese authorities would likely not accommodate such a film.In the meantime, architecture gets due attention here.Recently I was invited by two students to attend a dance for a group of French architects visiting from Marseilles, who danced mostly to American jazz, and in a French manner.Their appearance follows a visit to Beijing by the French foreign minister, which in turn signalled the normalization of ties disrupted since June, 1989.David Lawson Xi'an Institute of Metallurgy 13 Yanta

A beautiful pink-and- purple bicycle chosen specially for er.That was the prize won by the four- year-old at the annual Bicycle Road- eo held by the Rotary Club of West- mount May 18 and awarded Wednesday last week along with a blue bike presented to Aiden Mac- Donald, who turned seven the next day.Behind Krista's bike lies a special story.Rotary organizers had bought two bicycles as door prizes, the small blue bike and a larger one.When the names of the two winners were drawn, however, a dilemma arose.Co-ed softball The YM-YWHA singles group, Club 30 Something, invites everyone between 30 and 45 to play co-ed softball between June 27 and Aug 29 inclusive.Weekly games at Kirwan Park at Kildare and Wentworth in Côte St Luc starting at 9 pm.To register call 737-6551 ext 225.Both needed a small two-wheeler.So Rotarians rose to the occasion.Krista would not be disappointed.When the presentation was made, the big bicycle was wheeled in initially with all sorts of excuses.Then, came the pink and purple one.\u201cShe put her hands over her mouth in complete surprise and delight.She was so happy,\u201d PSO Robert Hryciuk said.Ironically, Krista\u2019s family moved to Westmount because they liked the activities available for children in the community, said her mother, Jac- qui Walsh.Then they read about the road-eo in THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER, she explained, her father, Michael, decided they would go even though Krista had no bike.She borrowed one from a friend at the arena.Then they found out their daughter was a winner.\u201cIt was the ideal bike,\u201d Mrs Walsh said.\u201cIt was just made for her\u201d Winning a bicycle was also very special for Aiden since it came the day before he turned seven.On his birthday, police and public safety officers went to his school and presented him with the Kiwanis safety helmet he also had won at the road- eo.Helmets were given to 13 other participants, EORGE ARAGE DOING IT RIGHT FOR 33 YEARS GENERAL AUTO REPAIRS SPECIALTY: BRAKES TUNE-UP AIR-CONDITIONING 3815, RUE ST-JACQUES OUEST MONTREAL, QUEBEC TéL: 935-8456 CLOSE TO ATWATER AVE.& METRO 30 -
