future of Montreal's top- ranked school was in doubt this week following a ruling by the Ministry of Education that it is illegal for the public school to collect fees to finance special classes.Ecole Internationale de Montréal, which operates a primary school at 360 Clarke Avenue in West- mount and a high school at 11 Cote St.Antoine Rd.near city hall, is controlled by the Montreal Catholic School Commission.The MCSC was to decide this week what it will do now that the province has said it is illegal to collect the $600 parents pay for special language programs and international school training.Commission spokesman Louise Richard said the MCSC will be weighing three options, but she would not reveal them, saying the commission had imposed a media ban until 5 p.m.Wednesday.\u201cThe council of commissioners will choose which services they will offer.This is what will be decided at the meeting,\u201d she said.In a much-publicized report last month of high-school grades and graduation rates, students at Ecole Internationale ranked No.1, beating out students at some of the (See SCHOOL, page 2) Sherbrooke bistro heats city\u2019s restaurant freeze Japanese resto on Greene

West- mount \u2014 in fact a number of taxi stands \u2014 would simply be an act of good neighbourliness on Westmount's part, a Montreal city councillor says.It might also save Westmount taxi users a lot of money.A taxi stand was recommended, city building and planning director Joanne Poirier said, after the Montreal Taxi League applied to the Quebec Transport Commission to charge $2 more per call to pick up a resident of a municipality that does not allow cab stands.- Poirier called the request for a $2 charge \u201ca pressure tactic.\u201d Outremont does not have cab stands either, she said.The proposed site was at Greene Avenue between St.Catherine Street and Dorchester Boulevard.However, a motion to allow the stand was dropped from the agenda at the last minute after one coun- Snow removal, ticket problems put city over budget By BERNIE O\u2019NEILL The Examiner A drop in revenues from parking tickets, plus a big bill for snow removal have put city finances for 1994 slightly over budget to date.But with a few adjustments the budget should be on target for year\u2019s end, councillor David Laid- ley said last week.\u201cBecause of the new parking ticket, which is considerably more difficult to administer and issue, our revenues are down considerably, something like 40 per cent, or $240,000,\u201d said Laidley, who holds the finance commissioner- ship on council.Record-breaking cold in January and February also contributed to the drop in tickets issued by parking inspectors, Laidley said.It was during this cold first quarter that snow removal came in at $465,000 - or 35 per cent \u2014 over budget on an original budget estimate of $1.3 million, he added.The city has printed up easier-to- use tickets.\u201cWe've also hired some part-time inspectors and have already in the month of April experienced an increase in \u2018output,\u2019 so called.\u201cSo at this point we're still optimistic revenue for the whole year will be on budget.\u201d In a report to city council, city director-general Bruce St.Louis noted greater than anticipated revenues from parking lots and meters, nearly $30,000 over the $275,000 budgeted.Also, in the first quarter the city collected nearly $70,000 more in real estate transfer duties than the $310,000 budgeted.City tightens pesticide By BERNIE O'NEILL The Examiner Westmount city hall now will wait at least 24 hours before gran- ling a pesticide application permit to allow time for an inspection of the site, the city\u2019s public works director says Wednesday.\u201cIt\u2019s really a refinement to \u2018debug\u2019 a procedure,\u201d Fred Caluori said in an interview.\u201cThe permit i] not be issued immediately in der for us to check the infestation.\u201d The move follows complaints that spraying of a lawn at the Royal Bank on Tupper Street last weck was unnecessary.bylaw The bank is right across the street from the Reddy Memorial Hospital.The city's bylaw compels residents and contractors to apply for a permit when making large applications of pesticides.At a meeting of the Westmount Municipal Association last week, local environmentalist Don Wedge called the city\u2019s enforcement of the bylaw \u201clax.\u201d Under the bylaw, permits will be issued only when there is an infestation of bugs or weeds.As of Wednesday, nine permits had been issued, Caluori said.Don\u2019t delay, call today for à TOTAL PEST oy CONTROL cillor objected., Mayor Peter Trent said after the meeting there will be a taxi stand in Westmount, but perhaps not at that location.At a meeting in April the Transport Commission said Westmount would be spared temporarily if it moved to set up a taxi stand in the city.The Greene Avenue stand would bave been for three vehicles.A private stand for Veterans Taxi already exists at Victoria Hall, but it is never used, Poirier said.\u201cThis is one of those situations where one municipality is bearing the burden of the other,\u201d N.D.G.city councillor Sam Boskey said last week.\u201cIf Westmount's finally deciding to come clean on this I'd be happy.\u201d Cabs clogging up streets in nearby Montreal are really there so they can quickly answer calls from their Westmount clientele, he said.\u201cOn both the east and west sides of Westmount it has caused a lot of problems,\u201d Boskey said, noting the stand on Grey Avenue in his district, right at the western Westmount border.\u201cThey're just waiting to answer a lot of calls.And they're there to serve other people.\u201d Boskey said be hoped the Greene Avenue stand would be the first of several.\u201cThe taxi stands work best when they are small and there are a fair number of them,\u201d he said.Royal Bank creates intere Royal Bank of Canada employees, friends and family collected money for the Easter Seals foundation with a fundraising trip on a 32-seat bicycle through several cities, including Westmount, last Saturday.The foundation distributes funds locally to help give disabled children access to various special services and to help buy special equipment.st for Easter Seals .Photo by PETER McCABE WMA considers pressure to save station Frustrated by long delays in seeing the future of the CP station decided, the Westmount Municipal Association and the head of the Westmount Historical Association joined voices Monday in pressuring it to save the station.The mayor says their effort -won\u2019t be needed because the city is still committed to saving the station.After a brief discussion at the last association meeting, Manley Schulz, the newest member and former director general of Westmount, agreed to look into pressuring city hall to preserve the station.The station\u2019s future must become a public issue, said association president Aline Gubbay, to general agreement.\u201c The station has become \u201ca pawn\u201d in the issue of settling on what to do with the Glen Yards, Schulz said, adding that the city used to get one good idea a month from individual proposals on uses for the station and land.Schulz added however that \u201cthe stakes are so high, you can\u2019t blame the city for taking a long time.\u201d Yet Trent says the shouldn\u2019t bother.\u201cThey don't need to,\u201d he said.\u201cWe will find ways to save the station.\u201d Trent added that the WMA nor, WMA anyone else can or should force the city to negotiate in public.\u201cThat's not in the best interest of Westmount \u2014 they must emater Westmount Hede-Centre with or without appointment Avec ou sans rendez-vous 4040 St.Catherine

entire 17 acres, he said.It doesn\u2019t make sense to decide on something for the station without determining what to do with the rest of the land first, Trent continued.The city will eventually present a zoning proposal for the R3 zone for residents to vote on, Trent added.and the only change would be to allow slightly highter buildings in part of the area.\u2014 Caroline Kutschke 487-2803

Saturday.\u201cWe're hoping to provide more hours and more flexibility,\u201d said director Bruce Cameron.\u201cThat's the most important part of the whole thing for me.\u201d The flexibility means the Mel can expand activities for more youths of different ages, Cameron added.While they won't be rigidly programmed, the centre may offer different activities in time blocks and still avoid one group of teens infringing on another group.Expanding programs on the agenda include computer games, pool, music, arts and crafts, ping- pong, theme nights, movies, bowling, day trips, a camping trip, swimming, sports in the park and other events.The centre has also already bought two computers with money from a private foundation.* About 28 teenagers from the Met have also volunteered 10 wash cars in a fundraising effort in conjunction with the Westmount Y, from 8:30 a.m.to 5:30 p.m.at the Esso gas station on Sherbrooke this Saturday.Both nonprofit groups will split the proceeds.Last year's

major contracts to do work in China.It\u2019s also one of the few companies in Montreal doing any large-scale hiring these days.Nicolas Matossian, the councillor for Ward 3, is president of Ce- Group, which took over Mon- hl-based Dominion Bridge earlier this year.It was announced this week that Dominion Bridge will undertake three multimillion-dollar hydroelectric and transit system projects in east-central China.Dominion Bridge will construct a 200-km subway and light rail system in Chengdu city.It will also build a hydro station nearby, and a 50-km toll expressway connecting Chengdu 10 a neighbouring city.Total value of the projects is more than $700 million U.S.As a result of the contracts, Dominion is expected to add 300 new employees at its facility in Lachine.Matossian said Wednesday that the firm has also signed a $90 million deal to build a cement plant as part of the massive three gorges dam project in China.Matossian said Dominion has great capability outside Canada.It's doing work in the States, Mexico, India, and is looking at projects in Indonesia.Matossian holds the commis- sionership for public works and light and power.He is also chairman of the operations and environment committee.Asked whether it\u2019s difficult split- ling his time between his professional work and his work on city council, Matossian said: \u201cLet's put it this way, I

one of our local daily papers, but upon second glance I realized that I hadn't.The provincial environment ministry had indeed given an award to the Régie in- termunicipal de géstion des déchets sur l'Ile de Montréal \u2014 an organization that has become best known for trying to ram through a flawed waste disposal plan for its member municipalities at a cost of $316 million.This was attempted over the objections of citizens and even councillors from the same cities whose mayors were on side.The award, it turns out however, was not given for the Régie's incinerator plan, or \"waste management strategy\" as the article suggested.Upon further investigation, it became clear that the award - actually it was an honourable mention - was given jointly to the Régie and the City of Montreal for their permanent household hazardous waste collection, the only one of its kind in Quebec.This is one area where the waste board is perhaps deserving of recognition.It's just a little difficult to give them too much credit after they so badly botched the waste-management scheme and all the steps leading up to its proposal.The Régie held meetings in secret without official minutes, making it completely unaccountable to the citizens who were going to be asked to pay the bills.Millions of dollars were spent on plans and publicity without a single municipal council having the opportunity 10 vote on the plan on behalf of their constituents.LaSalle Mayor and Régie chairman Michel Leduc, who treats democractic participation as if it werc an annoying mosquito buzzing in his ear, claims that Régie meetings were always open to the public.He said that had anyone shown up they would have been welcomed.The Régie just neglected to tell anyone where the meetings were being held.This claim, refuted by Leduc's fellow mayors, including Westmount's Peter Trent, is quite insulting to the public.Leduc's fellow mayors will tell you that the meetings only became public after several years.[rise at first that 1 must have Of course, the whole environment in which the waste plan was hatched has to be considered when discussing where the original plan went wrong.The mayors, as they will quickly tell you, had to move quickly in the mid-\"80s when it appeared that the Miron quarry was soon going to close.A plan had to be developed quickly to dispose of the huge amounts of garbage being produced by the suburban municipalities.The Meloche quarry in Kirkland was another that was soon to be closed.It did, in fact, close in 1990.But things have since changed, we are told.Miron is not going to close in the next couple of years, after all.At current rates, the landfill should be good for another 10 to 15 years.Or will it?Trent said Tuesday that he was told recently by Leduc that a new study indicates that the quarry will have to close in five years, not 15.If true, this would once again put the politicians under the gun.One of the reasons the filling of Miron has been slower in recent years is because of the fight between municipalities and the City of Montreal over tipping fees.The efforts by Montreal to increase its fees have prompted many towns, including Westmount, to transport their garbage off the island.The savings in price more than make up for the extra transportation costs.The important thing now is not to let any new deadlines push us into another ill-conceived plan like the one that was trashed by the public and the provincial Bureau des audiences publiques sur l'environnement last year.No longer are we tied to the proposal made by the Régie for a 410,000-tonne incinerator The new-found freedom the mayors thought they had because of the expected longer life of Miron didn\u2019t stop them from pushing on with the original plan despite mounting opposition.We have to make sure they, in the form of the new task force of suburban mayors and City of Montreal representatives, don't let themselves get rushed into another bad plan.\u2014 Craig McKee TRUTH is not only stranger than fiction; it is frequently more artistic.C.W.Jefferys our M.P.David Berger says.Expect business report soon 6 6 s the House of Commons still sitting?\u201d I was asked last week by a constituent.It was, and still is, at the time of this writing.But while it is scheduled to adjourn on June 23 for a short summer recess, that does not mean Parliament's work comes to end.The Industry Committee, which I chair, had originally planned to table its report on the access to financing for small and medium-sized businesses by June 23.We will probably be unable to meet that deadline.However, you will not have to wait until September to see the results of our labour.A new rule passed last week allows committees to report on the Wednesday following the 15th of the month when the House is not in session.That translates to a July 20 tabling date.I intend to make sure the committee does not miss this deadline.As I have previously mentioned, I have been spending the bulk of my time working on this study.Over the last three months, we heard testimony from academics, the chartered banks, venture capitalists, trust companies and people who run ~mall businesses, to name only a few.Our hearings wrapped up on May 31 and our Mayor Peter F Trent says.The tyranny of the rurality ast week, I suggested that in order to cut back on Canada's chronic overgovernment, we eliminate one level of government \u2014 the provinces.This would leave jurisdictional room for urban regions where all economic and cultural action will be in the next century.Provinces have become superfluous.Even now, two-thirds of the ministers in Canada's and Quebec's cabinets have the same portfolios.The few areas where Federal and provincial responsibilities don't overlap are education and municipal affairs (provincially), and defence and employment (federally).Provinces, created so many years ago, are almost artificialities.In Ontario, for example, Mississauga has a lot more in common with Scarborough than with Thunder Bay.What I'm suggesting is not quite a return to the city-state \u2014- as in ancient Athens, mediaeval Venice or modem Singapore.You could call it the state-city, I suppose.The industrial and information revolutions have made their indelible marks on modern society, but someone forgot to tell Quebec City.A ruralist, anti-urban mentality is alive and well there.For since that time, the committee research staff has prepared a draft report.Last week, we began the arduous process of discussing the draft report and the proposed recommendations.We will continue that process until the job is done.It has been said that a camel is a horse put together by a committee.The meaning of that saying has been driven home after spending one week in very long meetings discussing the proposed recommendations of our report.On Tuesday, Industry Minister John Manley appeared before the committee as the final witness in our study.It is part of the protocol of Parliament to give the minister the last word in a committee study.The minister had the opportunity to share with us his views on the availability of capital for small businesses and the kinds of solutions he would favour.* * * I would like to invite all constituents of St.Henri-Westmount to make a point of participating in the Canada Day Parade on Friday, July 1st.The parade will begin at 11 a.m.at the comer of St.Denis and Sherbrooke East and will go west along Sherbrooke to Peel Street, then south to Dominion Square.At 1 p.m.there will be a flag-raising ceremony and a birthday cake followed by a festival until 4:30 p.m.You can take part either by lining the parade route or join with the group It\u2019s Our Country in marking in the parade.For those interested in joining It\u2019s Our Country, please call 933-1689.Let's help make this year\u2019s Canada Day Parade a huge success.them, Montreal is full of the cosmopolitan fleshpots that so endanger the untrammelled pastorality and purity of the rest of Quebec.But we can't afford to wallow in nostalgia.Other urban regions of the world have no such handicaps.Most get solid support from the higher level (not levels) of government.Paris, for example, gets one-half it's funding from the central gov- emment.I am a member of the executive committee of the Union of Quebec Municipalities.Rural preoccupations often dominate the agenda because of the sheer number of rural towns.At our annual meeting, they fill our work-shops with their special needs and worries.But it gets worse.There is another union called the UMRCQ (don't even ask me what it stands for) that represents even smaller municipalities \u2014 about 1,200 in number.Even though the UMQ can speak for 80 per cent of the population, we have often to share equal space at the negotiation table with the UMRCQ when dealing with the minister.So urban regional centres are in a double minority! Contrast this with Europe, where a thing called the subsidiarity principle is often in play.Services are pushed down to the local urban government.Germany, with three times as much population as Canada, has one-half the number of federal bureaucrats.Planning and policy should be centralised, the delivery of services should be up to the cities.Provinces, with the exception of Quebec, could then be superannuated.: AN 0 re SE eed my PN A ee gS pn PN et NA The Westmount Examiner EXAMI FI 50 years ago June 16, 1944 LT.KEITH CORBETT PRISONER OF WAR: According to an official list recently announced Lieutenant Keith C.B.Corbett, youngest of four sons of Mrs.William F.Corbett or 760 Upper Lansdowne Ave., is now reported to be a prisoner war.(A ieut.Corbett was serving with the 48th Highlanders when taken prisoner in the fighting in Sicily.A member of the Queen's University C.O.T.C, Lieut.Corbett was commissioned in May 1942.His brothers are Group Capt.Vaughan B.Corbett, D.F.C., R.C.A.F.;

Last night I had a nightmare about our secondbaseperson missing a \u201ccatchable\u201d ball then throwing her glove down in the dirt, then kicking her glove as an opposing player scores.\u201cThat's O.K.Not your fault,\u201d the others yell, when you know that deep down inside they're thinking: \u201cWhy did we let her play?\u201d Of course I didn\u2019t miss catchable balls.But then I couldn't hit my way out of a paper bag, which made up for it.When I was a kid a good at-bat involved fouling off a few balls before striking out.A really good at-bat meant, say, hitting the ball as far as the first baseman, who would pick the ball up and step on first base.\u201cYou'\u2019rrrrrre outta there!\u201d the umpire would yell, which I always found humiliating as a 13-year-old.I was a real twirp, about four feet tall, with arms like match sticks.The lightest bat the team had felt like a hydro pole.If they\u2019d thrown beach balls across the plate it wouldn\u2019t have mattered.Even later, choking up on a special light bat 1 was still pathetic.Of course it didn\u2019t help when the other team was chanting typical softball-type taunts like: \u201cCome on now, come on now, hey batter hey batter hey batter hey batter swing!\u201d It threw off what little timing I had left.And when the umpire screamed BERNIE O\u2019NEILL \u201cSteeeerrrike One!\u201d I always felt like asking him if he had to yell so loud like that.It was clear I'd swung at nothing but thin air, the same thing I'd done every at-bat in every game since May.Must he broadcast it?\u201cSteeeerrrike Twoooo!\u201d he would cry shortly afterward, usually followed by the words \u2018Steeerrrike Threeee! You\u2019nirrrre Outta There!\u201d Umpires seem (0 take a perverse pleasure in seeing you \u201cgo down swinging,\u201d one, two, three \u2014 or \u201cget caught looking,\u201d as they say, although whén you know you're going to miss that big softball floating out there over the plate like a weather balloon you tend to not swing as much, I suspect umpires are former players who couldn\u2019t hit, and are now getting out their frustrations by drawing attention to other batters, often children, as they swing and miss and miss again.It\u2019s part of their therapy, along with the tiddlywinks.Eventually I gave up on softball and took up the guitar, which is not a team sport, and is rather therapeutic in itself \u2014 and you don\u2019t have to swing it at anything, in most instances.Perhaps on the weekend I'll strum the national anthem and then volunteer to be the ump.It could be the best thing for me. 8 -
