LocAL NEWS MORGAN LOWRIE At about the halfway mark in the construction process, the Westmount Recreation Centre is on time, and more or less on budget, Mayor Peter Trent told Westmount city council Monday night.\u201cFor the expenses we have received to date, we are within 1 percent of budget,\u201d Trent said.\u201cThat is a cause for celebration.Ask anyone in Montreal: it never happens.\u201d The one caveat to his statement was decontamination, which \u201cwas more expensive than we thought,\u201d the Mayor said.The city does not yet know how much this will add to the project's price tag.Tuesday, media were given a tour of the construction site, where 15-ton beams were being hoisted by a crane and placed on what will be the arena\u2019s roof.The installation of these 37 beams will be completed in upcoming weeks, after which the roof can be put on before the coldest winter months.Mayor Trent and several city council members were on hand to promote the project, which is projected to achieve a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold certification standard.\u201cThis is a world leader, it's a new kind of arena, and we're actually creating an acre of green space,\u201d Trent said.He pointed out that the Westmount Recreation Center will be the first underground arena in North America, and one of the few in the world.He justified the project's $38.3 million dollar price tag by saying that in Westmount, strict building codes mean that it would be equally expensive to build above ground.\u201cIf you were building it elsewhere, you could build it much cheaper.But because we would have to use expensive materials like brick, and slate roofs, it became attractive economically to build underground,\u201d Trent said.Other innovations highlighted by the Mayor include using a design-build method, which involved giving a list of requirements to contractors and letting them submit their own designs for the project, as well as asking Westmount residents to personally contribute to the project through the fundraising campaign.This campaign goal was raised to $6 million dollars from $5 million recently in order to cover the million-dollar cost of extending the second hockey rink by another 15 feet.City council also approved a $454,000 payment from its capital expense fund on Monday to PLOMBERIE & CHAUFFAGE Q T.M.BRIGGS (1991) INC.PLUMBING & HEATING INC.REPAIRS * ALTERATIONS « NEW INSTALLATIONS 8 e RADIANT FLOOR SYSTEM & * GEOTHERMAL Prompt Service 514-489-0406 4365143 o NILUTE SERVICE * Personalized Service e Luxury Cars at Regular Rates on Request * 100% guaranteed Airport Reservations email: info@atlastaxi.qc.ca * Pick-Up & Delivery CENTRE CD ÎLE DES SOEURS 7.a 0 DOU [Des ypéciadistes to | » Optomeétristes * Vision des enfants VISUEL | VOUS = Médecins ophtalmologistes Cor 330 Chemin du Golf « Clinique du club de tennis = www:drmolson.com = 514-766-0766 y Latissé eee pen Dr.Miriam Maddalon Molson O.D.optométriste Dr.Marie-Michelle Cayer M.D.FRCS (c) ophtalmologiste (ramq) Dr.Annie Malenfant O.D.optométriste Examen de la vue couvert par la RAMOQ (de 0 à 18 ans et 65 et plus) Dr Jamie Wong, M.D.FRCS (C) Ophtalmologiste Oculaplasticienne Chirurgie des paupières BOTOX, Restylane LATISSE JUVEDERM 4572602 pay for an increase in the project management fees, reflecting the change to design-build.City councillor Patrick Martin said that the city saved more than that by not having to hire the architects they would have needed to design their own project.The recreation centre project has been a controversial one in Westmount that has garnered vocal opposition from some citizens\u2019 groups opposed to the centre's price tag and the design.It sparked a petition which garnered over 2,000 signatures, and even a court injunction trying to halt the project.\u201cIf I've learned one thing in politics, it\u2019s that you can\u2019t please 100 percent of the people ever,\u201d Mayor Trent said, reminding reporters that polls Mayor Peter Trent (left) addresses reporters while city councillo WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM r Cynthia Lulham looks on.showed that 83 percent of residents were in favour.He is convinced that many concerns will be overcome when the arena comes in on budget and delivers on its promises.\u201cWestmount has always been an innovator over the years.Now, we are pioneering a new way to build an arena,\u201d he said.The recreation centre will include two skating rinks, an outdoor pool, three tennis courts, as well as several rooms to house community functions.It is scheduled to be completed in 2013.Westmount resident Patrick Barnard presented a letter to Council requesting an independent audit of the Westmount Recreation Centre.You can read it online: www.westmountexaminer.com \u20ac -

AN re à Toula IFOSCOLOS Toula 3 Take While I'm undeniably social-media obsessed, I've never been tempted to name a pet after a tag used to identify a key word or topic of interest on Twitter, let alone any offspring.And yet, recently, a couple thought it completely appropriate to name their newborn daughter \u2018Hashtag:\u2019 ! repeat; \u2018hashtag.\u2019 After a word used strictly for social media purposes.I used to have a problem with Quebec\u2019s civil registrar who occasionally rejects uncommon names it feels will cause children to be ridiculed, because my libertarian sensibilities don\u2019t generally agree with the idea of governments meddling in people\u2019s personal business.After all, why should there be a legal entity protecting you from your own stupidity, if it doesn\u2019t endanger others in any way?But think differently now.Sometimes people do need to be thwarted from decisions they'll live to regret.Particularly if it's innocent victims (read: little Hashtag) who will suffer most of the consequences.Crazy baby names are, sadly, nothing new.Moon Unit, anyone?But it seems that lately a lot more couples are favouring either oddly-spelled or strange names for their babies.In fact, it's become quite an epidemic, as parents feverishly compete in some misguided attempt to appear more creative and enlightened than the bourgeois parents next door who are naming their kid (gasp!) Paul.Sooo lazy! Did they even try?In Israel, a couple named their little girl Pie because, and I quote, \u201cthey enjoy cooking.\u201d An Egyptian couple recently named their child Facebook as a way to celebrate the role the social media network played in the country\u2019s Arab Spring.Are commemorating key moments in your country\u2019s history, or the fact that you really really like fruit-filled dessert, good enough reasons to saddle your child with a name other mean-spirited children will be giving them wedgies for?Kids are cruel enough! Must we give them additional ammunition?Most people have attributed this growing trend to the desire most of us have to stand out, to be different.\u201cThey don\u2019t want their child to be a cookie cutter.They want their kid to have a unique identity,\u201d says Linda Murray of BabyCenter, a San Francisco- based pregnancy and parenting website.That's the problem right there; too many people are associating unique baby names with a unique identity and standing out in the crowd.As if originality and greatness were a birthright, something you just gift a child with; the way your kid inherits your recessive genes or male-pattern baldness.Our world has become loud and convoluted, as everything around us competes for our attention.\u2018Celebrities\u2019 that grace the covers of magazines and the subject of newscasts are often known worldwide, despite having accomplished nothing of [4726505 F il a uv y _ Share your knowledge Ne \u201couf: Cor | Promote your classes on yourclassifieds.ca website l Your \"Classifieds ÿ ~ Tada 0iiirais | CARTOON aang WWW.WESTMOUNTEXAMINER.COM 1 ge ee ES SE SES QE QE * UE a He admits to djstributing gifts.We strongly suspect corruption of civil servants.J © oct ao PANG 080.AU.importance.As a result, society has confused superficial uniqueness and strangeness with actual creativity, individuality, and authenticity.A weird baby name is like Nicki Minaj in the pop-music world screaming out for attention.\u2018Look at me! Look at me!\u2019 Parents, living in a world that's so desperate for instant stardom, feel that naming their kid something crazy is already giving them that extra push right from the starting blocks.The thing that irks me the most about this silly phenomenon?The desperate search for artificial uniqueness is as unoriginal as you can be.It\u2019s also hopelessly misguided.It's not original if you're trying to be original and rebellious in the exact same way as everybody else! You don\u2019t believe me?Ask the thousands of women walking around with adorable little dolphin tattoos on their ankles right about now.But I digress.It makes me think of Nicholas Harby\u2019s words in A Long Way Down: \u201cThe problem with my generation is that we all think we're fucking geniuses.CANE: ae Making something isn\u2019t good enough for us, and neither is selling something, or even doing something; we have to BE something.Its our inalienable right of citizens of the 21st Century.If Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears or some American Idol jerk can be something, then why can\u2019t I?Where's mine, huh?\u201d We've been brainwashed to believe that simply showing up for the party entitles us to VIP status! Everyone's child is a special gift to the world.Everyone possesses that special something that will elevate them to being a cut above, so why not get a head start with the name, right?Ultimately, whether your baby will grow up to stand out in the crowd has very little to do with what you bestow upon him or her as a name, and much more to do with how you go about fostering the kind of creativity and critical thinking that will last a lifetime.But in the meantime, why gamble with your kid\u2019s future greatness?I'm thinking Ampersand has a nice ring to it.Plaza Pointe-Claire, Ta Boul St-Jean, Pte.Claire, Quebec 514-694-6268 + petitmouton@belinet.ca www.dupetitmouton.com 4782309 = 7e CRs EXAMINER 245 Victoria, suite 210, Westmount (Qc) H3Z 2N2 Editorial & Sales » Tel: 514 484-5610 Fax: 514 484-6028 Classified ads: 1-866-637-5236 www.westmountexaminer.com QCNA AJRQ PERT RÉSEAU 4-3 SELECT v MCA AUDITED Sales Support Supervisor: Lyne Lefebvre Advertising Consultants: Harvey Aisenthal (harvey.aisenthal@tc.tc) Marie-France Paquette (marie-france.paquette@tc.tc) Commercial classified ad sales representative: Françoise Girouard 514-636-7314 ext 235 Photographers: Peter Ford, Serge Boisvert Journalist: Morgan Lowrie Contributors: Marylin Smith Carsley, Doreen Lindsay, Robert N.Wilkins, Morgan Lowrie, Adrian Saldanha, Steve Hatton Printed by: imprimeries Transcontinental 2003 inc.Transmag Division Publi-Sac Montréal, 337-6920 www.tcmedia.tc Distribution: Transcontinental Media Inc.Published by: Transcontinental Media G.P.Publisher : Patricia-Ann Beaulieu Sales coordinators: Regional Manager: Sylviane Lussier CERTIFIED DISTRIBUTION : 9 792 COPIES Assistant Publisher : Marie-France Paquette Marie-France Dubé, Carolane Gravel Bouchard Production Director: Robert Bourcier 9 911 PRINTED COPIES Director: Toula F | Publisher's Liability for error: The publisher shall not be liable Sales Director : Marie-Claude Turcotte News Director: Toula Foscolos Graphic Design: Innograf Montreal for slight changes or typographical errors that do not lessen the value of Editorial email: examiner@tc.tc an advertisement.The publisher's kability for other errors or omissions in connection with any advertisement ts strictly limited to publication of the advertisement in any subsequent issue or the refund of any mores paid for the advertisement.Any reproduction of advertisements or editorial content.in part or in whole.in an official or unoffical manner, 1s prohibited without a written permission from leg Distributed by rece tc.ER RRR NAIR J ROR RR RTA] ARRAS RT A RRR SU RTPI STII!
