committed to recycling, reduction I am writing in an effort to achieve balance on a \u201cburning\u201d topic and in reaction to your Dec 12 editorial about waste management.Why ask questions when the answers are so readily available to you and would have been helpful to the Westmount community in its understanding of the Régie inter- municipale de gestion des déchets, its mission and the reason Sam Elkas initiated its existence in 1985?These questions were the subject of a Westmount Earth Day panel discussion on \u201cGlobal Strategies for Waste Management\u201d way back in April 1990.The city and its Earth Day volunteers from WEACT invited the director of the Régie, Guy Racine, along with STOP\u2019s Bruce Walker and assistant our PSBGM commissioner Joan Rothman ud S Pot Electronic essays THE SCENE: The Roslyn School computer room last Friday at 8:40 am, with a class in progress under the rapid-fire direction of Maureen Gross.Besides Maureen, the actors were Mary Finnegan, teacher of the Grade 6 class, and her students, who were sitting on small chairs in groups, each group centred about a computer.The students were pushing buttons, pushing programs in place and mostly watching the big screen.On the screen was a colored map of Africa and Isat up inmy small chair \u2014 afterall, one of my children is in West Africa.Then Maureen said, \u201cThis is the way to identify or describe something on the picture.Let's take Madagascar.\u201d She described how the island could be made a hot spot, that is, the outline could be made to vibrate on the screen.The student then would record his or her voice saying, for instance, \u201cThis is Madagascar\u201d\u2019 while the hot spot indicated the island.À caption could be placed on or beside the island, a hand could point at the island and a voice could read the caption or all of the above could take place.and no,pne deputy minister (environment) Harvey Mead to share their knowledge, qualms, plans and ideas about waste management.The topic of incineration was wide open for debate and Mr Racine responded fully to all the questions put to him by the informed panel and by the public.It was reassuring to know that a Victoria Hall full of environmentalists appeared to accept the Régie's three-pronged strategy of recycling, composting, incineration (high tech) with recovery of electricity as a by-product.The major concerns then were the size of the incinerator, legislated emission standards and the approximately 2.5 percent residue ash that needs to be landfilled and/or transformed Continued on page 29 would miss noticing that large island in the Indian Ocean.Maureen explained the techniques while brandishing a microphone, describing clip art from the tools menu and discussing the desired and final two cards, the result of each group\u2019s efforts.You have realized, of course, that you are dealing with a computer illiterate, or a functionally illiterate school commissioner, who finally realized she was learning about a creative way to present information.Mrs Finnegan's class left for music and in came Colleen Bismuth's Grade 3-4 class with Adrian Gyver, a Roslyn School parent and member of the school committee, who helps Maureen on certain projects.We three adults and the students sat on our small chairs, listened, and I began to see a little light.Hyper Studio of San Diego, some Americans and our Maureen, the only Canadian and Roslyn School teacher, have been working on Lego Robotics to develop hyper-me- dia software for Apple II GS, 1 meg memory, version 3.0 computers.I was just beginning to see some of the things you could do with this software.The students were mastering the techniques in order to help them get a job done.The idea this school year is that student groups, at all grade levels, will develop presentations on a chosen subject and this presentation with written text, sound and pictures will be shown in class or at home to the family on the VCR.I will write more on this project in 1992.Have a happy Christmas anflagéod New Year: o130! vosuuiigol gl 0\" = 6 - The Westmount Examiner CHRISTIE PLUMBING ro a.Names

lot behind the building, said Ms Poirier.In the city\u2019s report of Oct 30, it asked for 14 conditions to be satisfied.Included in the list was repairs to walls and ceilings, fumigation of the building to kill cockroaches, provide smoke detectors, have the electrical system inspected, and clean and pave the area at the rear of the building.According to at least one tenant, the city was too soft on the landlord.\u201cThey don\u2019t understand what the situation\u2019s like,\u201d said Eric Greenan, who brought the state of the building to the attention of city council at their last meeting Dec 2.Security aids harassed woman Two security agents at Place Alexis Nihon tried fo break up a fight at the Xerox tower Friday when they saw a man pulling a woman's hair, police said.The suspect punched one agent in the ear but was punched out himself by the other security man.When police arrived, the woman told them the man had been harassing her for three months and she had filed a complaint against him at police Station 42 on Crémazie street east.She did not want to pursue the assault by filing charges and the incident was referred to the other station.The woman is a 26-year-old secretary.The man was identified only as 20 years old.At that meeting, Ted Wright, a worker with Arnold Bennett's tenant advocacy group, told councillors after his inspection of the premises it was one of the worst he had ever seen.\u201cI've seen some bad places, and this is maybe an eight out of ten,\u201d he said.\u201cIt could be transplanted to Point St Charles.\u201d Ms Poirier said the city would wait for Mr Ismail to finish cleaning the place up.\u201cAs far as we're concerned we're happy with the way he\u2019s been cooperating with the city,\u201d she said.J

\u201cObviously I'm not happy about this,\u201d the mayor added.\u201cOnce again it underlines the need for library people and the city administration to work more closely together.\u201d Re-opens conflict The tender fiasco re-opens a longstanding conflict between the city management and the library's board of trustees as to who really runs the library.Though the library is operated as a city department, its trustees on the library committee have powers over the professional side of the operation.Happy Holidays to all our customers & friends) Special New Year\u2019s Eve Dinner Tuesday Dec.31, 1991 OPEN MONDAY Dec.23 for Christmas & Dec.30 Elegant private party room available for up to 24 people.Holiday Hours Closed: Tues.Dec.24 at 3 pm Though city tenders generally are prepared by city staff, this time they were submitted by the library, the mayor said.But Mr Schultz acknowledged that in this case, the tenders were not as cut-and-dried as tenders for, say, road construction.After they were opened on May 24 with bids for the initial part of the project (hardware and software) in the area of $200,000, the library group spent all summer checking out the offer of services.This included visits to some out-of- province libraries where certain systems are in use.Cheques abandoned Burglars broke into offices of a placement firm at 4592 St Catherine street overnight Tuesday last week, searched the place but left empty-handed, police said.They put a dictaphone machine and payroll cheques into a briefcase from the office but abandoned them at the scene.The break-in was discovered the next morning by the victim who told police he had forgotten to put on the alarm system.It was in September when a final tender analysis was prepared that city officials became concerned about awarding a bid according to the specifications in the tender call and the file was turned over the city solicitors, Mr Schultz said.\u201cWe'd have had no problems in accepting the lowest bid,\u201d he added.Mr Schultz subsequently recommended on legal advice that the tenders be cancelled and the city seek new tenders under the new specifications.The council rejection Monday was \u201c\u2018a formality,\u201d he said.The new call for tenders is expected to go out next month.3 Smoke rises from car hood Smoke began torise from the hood of a car as it drove by Park Place and St Catherine street Wednesday last week, police report.The driver, a Pierrefonds woman, stopped and called firefighters at 5:53 pm.When they arrived, however, they found the woman had already doused it using a bucket of water.A burned battery and cables caused an estimated $500 damage to the beige 1986 Toyota Corolla.Wed.Dec.25, 1991 Thurs.Dec.26, 1991 Wed.Jan.1, 1992 Thurs.Jan.2, 1992 485-2502 4 Somerville (corner Victoria) Open from Jan.3 regular business hours SNR SERRE = LA PORTE DE CHINE RESTAURANT Well-known for its excellent Hunan and Szechuan cuisine wishes all their customers and friends a most Joyous Holiday Season.OPEN THROUGHOUT THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASON START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT!

A concerned florist who tried to deliver flowers at a home on Elm avenue Wednesday last week ended up calling Urgences Santé when he received no answer at the door but saw a woman sitting inside in a chair.Police said the ambulance crew decided to kick in the door but the woman was not in need of assistance.A police report did not state why the woman had not gone to the door.WHERE ARE YOU, MARIANOPOLISALUMNI?We are now planning RENDEZVOUS \u201892, a fun- packed reunion weekend, June 12-14, 1992.We want everyone to come and celebrate.If you are not receiving mail from us, let us know now.Call the Marianopolis Alumni Office, 931-8792 or FAX 931-8790.~~ 00.0 _00L.0, (I) e 700 HO HE OS OL to, 90 ieee dee tees se ;

their own, special Christmas tradition of carolling.It started off small in about 1978, when Bill and Sally Hooff of Abbott avenue invited a few neighbors over to trudge about in the snow and sing door-to-door, collecting money for charity in a red can.In 1985, the Hooffs moved to Prince Edward Island, but the red collection can stayed, and got passed on to John and Sheila Denton of Irvine avenue.The next year, in 1986, they moved the party indoors and invitations went out to neighbors on four surrounding streets.As the annual carolling grew, so did the donations.This year was the biggest turnout ever, with 65 people jamming the Denton home on Sunday evening, and about $320 collected for Chez Doris, a women's shelter, and the Old Brewery Mission.Non-perishable food also was collected, which will either go to the local Public Security Unit for food baskets or Sun Youth.At 7:30 pm, the height of the evening, Mrs Denton squeezed through the crowd to pass out candy canes to the children while her husband sat in the centre of attention, at the piano seat.There was no way one more body could fit in the room with the piano and the carollers, until the warmth of bodies drove a few people out, to be quickly replaced by those waiting on the fringe.\u201cWe\u2019ve come ever since we moved here, about 10 years ago,\u201d said Zib Fraser, \u201cever since they stopped going door-to-door.\u201d \u201cWe get more money since we moved inside,\u201d said Mrs Denton.\u201cSeventy-eight dollars was the most we got in going around the streets.Now we've been getting about $300 for the last three years.\u201d The Christmas carolling, done to the lyrics of old Eaton's songsheets, is half of this neighborhood's annual get-togethers.In summer the Dobies throw a barbecue block

inescapable.Conclusive evidence was presented to the committee that the NRC, at the very least, does not fully appreciate the nature of IRAP and its potential.The evidence includes: * The NRC rejected a blueprint for IRAP's future which was unanimously supported by the IRAP advisory board as well as federal and provincial government agencies.e The NRC has downgraded IRAP in NRC's organizational structure.There are major deficiencies in IRAP's strategic plan.» Various statements of the executive committee of council, motions of council, the wording of the strategic , changes to IRAP's mission Xement, and the statements by the president of the NRC indicate that IRAP is being changed from a program which serves firms by obtaining technology from all appropriate sources, to a program focused on the NRC laboratories.The Liberal members concurred with the majority recommendation that as a first step, funding for IRAP be increased to a minimum of $110 million, from $75 million.As a second step, we recommended a doubling or even tripling of IRAP's funding over a five- to six-year period.These resources would enable IRAP to fulfill its potential within the context of the competitive challenge facing Canada.The Liberal members agreed with Roy Woodbridge, president of the Canadian Advanced Technology Association, who told the committee that what is required is \u2018\u2018a strong government commitment to funding of the program at the level of resources required to fulfill an expanded pro- grea mandate.We do not want to protect the program.We do not want you to make a last-ditch effort to save it.We want you to understand what it could be, and make sure that it achieves those kinds of bigger, broader objectives.We want you to make sure that this program grows and becomes what it should be in the context of the national industrial needs of this country.\u201d The committee has done its work.It is now up to the government to implement our recommendations.If the Conservatives do not follow through, a future Liberal government will.YOUSAY.Continued from page 5 into a useable material.In the Dec 2 edition of The New York Times, the executive director of the Hazardous Substance Research Center in Newark, N.J.(which is financed by universities, business and government agencies), is quoted assaying that thereis noserious data to support the view that proper burning is dangerous and that incinerators are regulated far more stringently than wood-burning stoves or cars.In the same article I learned about a new acronym which is going to escalate the waste management dilemmas of our society, NIMTOO (not in my term of office).Let us hope that our newly elected representatives don\u2019t get paralyzed by this syndrome because if they do, we will be dumping even more waste into the backyards of future generations and negating the investment of years of planning.Why, you ask, has Montreal not been included in the Régie structure?It was my understanding that the city of Montreal refused to co-oper- ate because it has its own dump and incinerator.Westmount's waste and that of the 28 municipalities was not their problem.Montreal put the suburbs on notice that the Miron dump would be closed to their waste in 1993.The Régie studied systems and installations around the world, and our waste management needs were thoroughly analyzed.Proposals for McKenna Côte des Neiges One location only \u2014 4509 Côte des Neiges SINCE 1851 FOR ALL YOUR FLORAL NEEDS NW, XM Send Christmas plants and flowers around the corner or around

Québec H3Y 2H8 1733190908 S 28.\u2014 mt + \u201cHp ay dena wep w ) 30 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 19, 1991 By JANET COUTTS Goodness knows, there are many places in Westmount where, in a twinkling of an eye, you could {ill dozens of Christmas stockings with wonderful things.They include such stores as La Cache, Pier I, the Bead Emporium, the new Les Body Reform in Place Alexis Nihon or Dans Un Jardin on Greene venue for luxurious items for bath and boudoir.On a search for that special something to make every stocking extra- special, here are some of our finds: We started in Westmount Square, just in case the weather is impossible, so you can do last-minute shopping for luxuries indoors.At Cacherel, you will find chic little headbands at $14 in velvet, $24 in stretch fabric; they have a beret with matching gloves for $100 and a pair of smashing purple suede gloves for $120.At the new Caméléon Vert there's the perfect gift for your shy friend who needs to be reminded to come out of her shell: a painted pottery turtle from Mexico at $24; another find is a pair of handblown blue glass candlesticks that could double as schnapps glasses, $20.For sports fans, go to Sport Buff in Place Alexis Nihon (or to Alexander, 1385 Greene avenue, in the case of golfers, or to the Tennis Bug, 4156A St Catherine) and buy just about anything.But you have to go to Hall mark to find a milk chocolate hockey puck at $1.99; or to the Quebec Lig- uor Corporation for a \u201cgolf ball\u201d filled with one shot of Scotch for $6.70.It isn't really necessary to look for stocking gifts for children: they fairly leap off the shelves at you.But we were taken with Hallmark's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fluorescent-col- ored squeaking suspenders for $9.90.(They have the same thing in pig \u2014 not a very flattering gift \u2014 cat, cow, zebra or giraffe.) Unusual costume jewelry is featured at Atout Bijoux.One piece is a dancing couple from elegant days gone by.The man is all in black, the woman in silver, the whole in rhinestones.The skirt of the woman\u2019s dress is in strands so it is in constant motion.It is $90.At Verlaine Allure, lace hankies in colors and white at $25 each would make a lovely stocking stuffer for an older woman who remembers flirting with just such an accessory, or for a business woman who'd like to soften the look of her power suits.Dilemme, 4937 Sherbrooke street, is a goldmine of treasures.Thereis a basketful of colorful wooden costume jewelry.A pair of green frog earrings is $5; a fish pin or mask ring cost $7.The map of the world is etched on a glass ball, black or white, about the size of a tennis ball, and costs $22.A basket-weave cuff brace- \\ Tz LE (The Lamp Room) Specializing in MA LAMPSHADES L vour lamp for proper fitting).Full service 2000 he .in stock at all times Custom-made shades available (bring in Cain ew ena Br ama AAR ;

lip balm from England (not always easy to find) in fruit flavors, is $3.75.And while you're there, pick up some potpourri at $2 a scoop, to add to any wrapped presents.It makes them look and smell beautiful.Joiede Vivre also features a line of sparkly jewelry made by a local artist at prices ranging between $10 and $20.At Cuero, 4866 Sherbrooke, there are wonderful luxury items, but there is also a travel domino game at $12.50, a leather flashlight for $21, and some amusing little pottery people from England, meant to be used as candle snuffers, at $7 each.Any woman who is still smoking would love the lighter in crocodile Stones Minerals @ 1643 St-Denis, Montréal PIERRES DE LUNE inc.THE LARGEST SELECTION IN THE CITY OF: ® Crystals Jewellery lamp remodelling.mounting and leather at $43.20 and a matching mir- £ repairs, Decorative finials.lamps, occasional ror for her purse at $19.20.furniture.Coffee Gourmet, 4868 Sherbrooke street, is another of those stores where you can {ill all the stockings you want in one stop.But worthy of : special mention are handmade dog BO (Lia cookies for the spoiled pet at $5.50.44-66 This store will also sell you a small amount of the most expensive coffee | SA in the world, Jamaican Blue, at $8.80 F\u2014\u2014 for 100 grams ($40 a pound).For $1 extra, you can have it put into a DISTRIBUTION special burlap bag.They also have a small teapot, a white porcelain elephant, for $7.95.For elephant lovers At Heritage Asiatique, 364 Victoria avenue, there is an even smaller elephant teapot, this one painted in flowers, for $6.80.If you know someone who collects elephants, this is the place.À small elephant stuffed with 50 g of fine tea, sold in a little wooden crate, is $18.And there are lots of little elephant figurines at $3 and $1.80.Fushia, at 361 Victoria avenue, has wooden hanging toys that move when you pull a string, for $4.95 to $7.95.They have charming white cat porcelain napkin rings at $4.95 and, at the same price, a lot of brightly painted wooden animals and foods that make napkin rings.They have a basketful of miniature books of aphorisms about love, joy, friendship and other positive aspects of life, for $7.50 each.Entrepot Culinaire, 357 Victoria avenue, has stocking stuffers galore.They start as low as 70 cents and go as high as you like.The item for 70 cents is a bowl scraper for a baker.A pot and pan scraper is $1.50, but anyone giving such a gift would be well advised to attach a card explaining X TF WE LUNR AAs 4 mre ms elles wae eo aa cking that the giftee will not be the only one to use it.Mini whisks, good for drinks or single eggs, are $1 a pair; and a bean cutter to make French- style beans is $3.99.Alexander, as mentioned, has lots of golf accessories including a golf ball case with tees for $75.This store also has pretty penlights for $8.95; metal bookmarks with initials for $6; a flocked inflatable travel pillow with case is $5.50 and a small travel phone list with a mirror is $7.A case for business cards will set you back $6; a pack of magician\u2019s cards with instructions for magic tricks is $6.At Origami Plus, 1369 Greene av: nue, is the best paperweight f someone who actually has a lot ot papers to be weighed down.The draftsman\u2019s paperweight is soft leather filled with shot, feels good in the hand, allows a paper to be pulled out from the middle of a pile, and costs $18.At Le Notre, 1277 Greene, you can find something for the person who is going to go off their diet over Christmas.Make it worthwhile.Two tiny chocolates in a pretty box will set you back about $3.Slightly more expensive are beautiful candied fruits.If you want to get really extravagant, chocolates are from $96.50 to $148.50 a kilogram; the fruits are $100.The pet lover would appreciate having the companion\u2019s color photo reproduced on a sweatshirt ($24.95) or T-shirt ($19.95) at Art Image, 4156 St Catherine street.-With all this, if you end up at 5:30 pmon Christmas Eve buying an ordinary bottle of cologne and-dumping it into the stocking along with nuts and fruit you found in the kitchen, well, you deserve a lump of coal in yours.2 Just Opened!

this past week as new doors were being installed at the Métro-level entrance.\u201cThis is probably the last loose end to tie up with the Métro tunnel,\u201d said Joy Hayes, public relations director with the college.The corridor was closed Dec 12 and is to reopen tomorrow.Ms Hayes said the new doors were part of the original plans for con- \u2018struction, which was mostly completed in September of this year.The doors were on order, she said, and had to be custom built due to the size required.The doors are part of what commuters using the Atwater station have noticed as a constant buzz of construction there since Dec 1.The Montreal Urban Community Transit Corp asked Dawson administration to upgrade the station's de Maisonneuve boulevard entrance when it asked for a connection to their school, said Ms Hayes.Dawson agreed to upgrade the Atwater Métro entrance structure to make it match the college in design.So copper roofs, yellow bricks and large windows are being added to the entrance at the corner of Atwater and de Maisonneuve streets, at a cost of $152,000, said Ms Hayes.She said the Dawson administration Se the cost as part of its new visual a! building.It is the latest upgrading for the college in what has been a drawn-out period of construction.Over the past few years the college contacted the ministry of education, to get permission for the size and cost of their new construction, the City of Westmount regarding zoning restrictions, and the MUCTC for the Métro link, said Ms Hayes.\u201cWe always knew we wanted to have a link (to the Métro) and we always knew what the rules are \u2014 that you're going to have to pay,\u201d she said.Ms Hayes said she didn\u2019t know when the construction would finally be finished.Children seeking homes Being a foster parent means opening your home to children who cannot live with their own parents although the youngsters will have visits with them.The following children are living in group homes and are desperately in need of foster parents.Cindy, a healthy, beautiful, Chinese baby, just celebrated her first birthday.Her little feet scamper around the house and she takes only an occasional tumble.Climbing on to the sofa is a lot of fun, but getting down requires assistance.This good- natured, lovable youngster requires a single- or two-parent Chinese foster home.She will probably remain in foster care throughout her childhood.Carly, 10, Mina, 6, and Oliver, 5, are friendly and rambunctious siblings who come from a deprived background.Since they are very close, a white foster home able to take the threesome, possibly long- term, is being sought.Carly is bright and aware of her situation, which she finds confusing and upsetting.Mina is a fun-loving little girl.She is high risk for kidney damage and so her urine needs to be tested every few days.The youngest, Oliver, has developmental delays and attends Mackay School.His speech is limited but his comprehension is adequate.His balance is affected but he manages to run rather School for Young Players In collaboration with the than walk and to climb stairs independently.Jake, a teenager, has a large physical stature which makes him look older than his 14 years.He has endured a difficult home life resulting in his feeling sad and frustrated.His attention-seeking behavior has ceased since his recent placement in a group home.He is sensitive to other people's problems, is co-opera- tive and, like most teens, is embarrassed when given a compliment.Jake would benefit from a white foster family where he can stay for at least one year.À single male or a couple with a very involved foster father would be ideal.If you would like to know more about these children and the steps involved in becoming a foster parent, phone Homes for Children, run by the Ville Marie Social Service Centre, at 989-1781.Register for city programs Registration for the city's recreation programs continues until Jan

Rudolph\u2019s other nose One Christmas eve Rudolph's nose wouldn't shine so he went to the vet.On his way there he met this other reindeer named Prancer.While they were walking they met lots of other reindeer.The reindeer asked Rudolph where he was going.Rudolph told them all about his nose and how it wouldn\u2019t shine.So they went to the vet with him.When they got there Rudolph told them to wait in the waiting room until Rudolph got back.When he got back he said that he needed a new bulb for his nose.So he ran off to the store to get the bulb.When he bought it he went home and tried it on.It turned out to be a green bulb instead of a red bulb.So he went back to the store with people laughing at him because of the green nose above his mouth.He went inside the store and now he read what colour it said on the cover.When he got home he tried it on.It was marvellous it shined more than he imagined.There was a knock at the door it was santa claus and all the reindeer he met.Then santa claus asked Rudolph to lead the sleigh and they started to deliver presents to everyone in the world! .Farhana Grade 4, Westmount Park can play with my brother in our yard.I'll build a fort with
