| really felt they all helped so much.\u201d Villa Ste.Marcelline gave her a \u201cwonderful solid foundation in social awareness,\u201d she explained, by including the students in fundraising and other activities.At Dawson College, where de Kerckhove was a student in the first choice science program, she _says she had \u201cthe best experience\u201d of her life by participating in a variety of extracurricular organizations, including the student union, senate and student radio station.De Kerckhove added that her scholarships to go to McGill University are thanks to her academic advisors at Dawson College, who knew what she needed.Scholarships she has received so far include the Canada Scholarship for Science and Engineering, the Canadian Merit Scholarship, the Greville Smith Major Entrance Scholarship and a National Research Council Grant for Women in Engineering and Science.(See RHODES, page 12) Zz CIVIC COUPE is i >= = ECHVMEE \u20ac \u20ac PRICEDFROMS T os Montreal, 1110 Bleury, 879-1550 \"Trans.prep.& taxes extra 1 2 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 5\u201d, 1995 Community Calendar is a listing of happenings in Westmount.Please mail announcements to THE WESTMOUNT EXAMINER, 2/0 Victoria Ave., Westmount, Que., H3Z 2M4 or fax: 484-6028.Compiled by Joy Carroll Community events Trafalgar School for Girls hosts a bilingual evening of discussion and workshops on the economy Jan.12, 6:30 to 9 p.m.Topics and recommendations discussed will be recorded and presented to the federal minister of finance as he prepares the 1995 budget.Open to all.To register, phone Rita Solkin after Jan.9 at 935-2644 or fax her at 935-2359.Meetings Annual General Meeting of the Members of the Greene Avenue Community Centre will be held on Tuesday, Jan.10 at 7:30 p.m.at 1090 Greene Ave.Westmount city council meeting will be held Monday, Jan.9 at city hall, 4333 Sherbrooke St.Lectures Strange Verses, Stranger Interpretations, a lecture by Rabbi Leigh Lerner, Monday, Jan.9, at noon.Bring a brown bag lunch.All welcome.Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, 395 Elm Ave.Judaism: When We Lose Our Good Health, a lecture and discussion on how the Jewish faith can spiritually heal us in a health crisis, by Rabbi Leigh Lerner, Wednesday, Jan.11, 7:30 p.m.Presented by Temple Emanu-El- Beth Sholom Women's Study Group.4100 Sherbrooke St.West, Elm Avenue entrance.Info: 937-3575.Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog (1982) will be screened by The Film Society on Wednesday, Jan.11, 7:30 p.m.Klaus Kinski is a man obsessively driven to build an opera house in the Amazon jungle.Open discussion follows.All welcome.4450 Sherbrooke St.All welcome.Membership info: 938-5252.Upstairs, an exhibit at S.Space en- Semble, Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 5 p.m., until Jan.22.4928 Sherbrooke St.West, 2nd Floor.Café Claremont presents an exhibi- A VENIR / UPCOMING SEANCE DU CONSEIL: le 9 janvier, 1995 Séance régulière 20h00 COUNCIL MEETING: 9th January, 1995 Regular sitting \u2014 8:00 p.m.HOTEL DE VILLE / CITY HALL 4333 Sherbrooke, Westmount H3Z 1E2 FINANCES \u2014 FINANCE 989-5200 989-5480 Télécopieur/Fox 989-5240 989-5263 989-5251 989-5249 CONSTRUCTION ET AMÉNAGEMENT - BUILDING AND PLANNING FEU \u2014 FIRE SÉCURITÉ PUBLIQUE \u2014 PUBLIC SECURITY MUC POLICE CUM \u2014 POSTE/STATION 23 (Renseignements / information) BIBLIOTHÈQUE - LIBRARY (Sherbrooke) (Ste.Catherine) SPORTS ET LOISIRS \u2014 SPORTS & RECREATION 989-5219 989-5268 989-5311 989-5222 280-2223 989-5300 989-5299 989-5353 ENERGIE ELECTRIQUE \u2014 LIGHT AND POWER Appels d'affaires / Business Calls Pannes d'électricité - 24 heures / Power Outages - 24 hours For valuation information.vee Information sur les évaluations e RGENCES / EMERGENCIES uv POLICE ° | AMBULANCE 989-5400 989-5201 989-5493 989-5494 LA A tion of contemporary paintings by André Barcessat to Jan.10, from 11:30 a.m.to closing.5032 Sherbrooke St.Kids stuff Storytime for chlidren ages 3-6, Mondays at 4 p.m.and Wednesdays at 11 a.m.at Montreal Children\u2019s Library, 1200 Atwater Ave.Info: 931-2304.Mom \u2019n\u2019 Tot storytime for babies and toddlers up to 3, Tuesdays at 10 a.m.at Montreal!

it\u2019s definitely for the best.David Berger was \u201cencouraged to resign\u201d by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien so that a safe Liberal seat could open up for former provincial Liberal cabinet minister Lucienne Robillard.Robillard is the star francophone candidate the No side, and Chrétien's own government, badly needs.Berger.it turns out, was expendable \u2014 not exactly a rousing vote of confidence for him, although the party is naturally putting this in the best possible light.St.Henri-Westmount riding association president Simon Potter says there was \u201cgreat disappointment\u201d at the decision that would cost them their longtime MP but, more importantly, there was acceptance.They know it is necessary and that it\u2019s in their best interest if they want to win the referendum.As Potter says, these are not normal political times.The thing is, Berger will be rewarded for his \u201cunselfish™ act with some plumb government job.This starts with his immediate assignment as an advisor on small business financing in the Prime Miniter\u2019s Office but will probably end with something more attractive \u2014 and permanent.One wonders why the PMO didn\u2019t need such an advisor before if they need one now.The truth is, of course, that Berger is not moving to the PMO because he is needed there, he\u2019s there as a reward for his unselfish \u201csacrifice.\u201d The addition of one more salary to federal payroll is an unnecessary payoff but in this case not too many people are likely to complain.It's a small expenditure in the grand scheme of things.One rather refreshing element of this affair is the honesty with which it was dealt.At no time were we told that Berger wanted to leave to spend more time with his family or to pursue other career opportunities.They made it clear that he had been asked to leave so that a star canadidate could be parachuted in.While some will grumble that they are being denied the MP they democratically chose, not many federalists will have a major quarrel with the decision because it makes so much sense.The truth is that this riding would elect anyone under the Liberal banner, especially now.That's why there\u2019s no risk in having Berger resign.Robillard will give the riding something it has not had since Donald Johnston left \u2014 a cabinet minister.There is virtually no doubt that this is what Chrétien has in mind for his soon- to-be MP.Robillard performed capably in her provincial stints at minister of higher education, education and finally health.She was highly thought of \u2014 despite the controversy she had to deal with over the subject of CEGEP reform.Holding major porfolio\u2019s like health and education indicates that a tremendous faith was placed in her by then Premier Daniel Johnson.It\u2019s not hard to see why she would be sought after by the PM.Both Berger and Robillard have said in interviews that they don\u2019t know why St.Henri-Westmount was chosen for the byelection.What's more likely is that they would just prefer not to say.In the first place, there wasn\u2019t a great deal to chose from, given that the Liberals only hold 19 seats in Quebec.Brome-Missisquoi is already holding a byelection but that is to fill a vacancy created by the death of a Bloc Québécois MP, hardly a place Robillard would go.It, like a number of other seats located off the island of Montreal.would be perilous for the Liberals.They want to be certain that Robillard gets elected and makes it into cabinet.Having her defeated would be devastating, both for the government and for its referendum strategy.St.Henri-Westmount is about the safest bet you can find.But there are others.Shirley Maheu in St.Laurent- Cartierville and Warren Allmand in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce were both rumoured to be among those who might have been asked to step aside.But in the end, it was Berger who got the bad news.But don\u2019t feel sorry for him.He will certainly land on his feet, presumbably with a high-paying government job to help him start his second career.\u2014Craig McKee 1Say! : Government should right past wrongs After reading two articles by Hugh Win- sor (\u201cOttawa says no to redress, Gazette,\u201d Dec.15) and Jeffrey Simpson (\u201cThe Liberals refuse,\u201d Gazette, Dec.20), I am genuinely concerned about the state of mind of the current federal government.The party in power used to be the champion of the little guy and human rights.Today, 1 am not certain if | can say the same.Last year.Sergio Marchi said he would maintain immigration levels; this year he cut them.And in the International Year of the Family, he let it be known that in the eyes of the immigration department, the family is you, your spouse and your children \u2014 but not your siblings, and no, not your parents.Two weeks before Christmas, Sheila Finestone issued a \u201cNo!\u201d in response to the Jewish, Italian, Chinese, Ukrainian, German and Indian communities seeking redress.The quotation from Pierre Trudeau is: \u201cGovernment\u2019s main function is to be just in its time.It\u2019s not to try and correct the injustices that have been done to everybody in the past.\u201d The issue here should not be money; the real issue is respect.Canada has three national historic sites commemorating former Prime Ministers Laurier, King and Pearson.Government MPs are lining up to ask Canadians to pay for statues and memorials of Liberal politicians.What is so wrong or so dumb about building memorials to Jews who were turned away by Mackenzie King?About redressing Canadians of Italian and Japanese descent who were detained and interned by King's World War Il government?About apologizing to Canadians of Chinese descent for charging $500 (in 1920s-\"40s money) as a head tax by Mackenzie King?The list goes on.If politicians and journalists are always yelling \u201cCome clean!\u201d to each other.why can\u2019t they just accept that all Canadian citizens want is respect?Instead of playing with words and pitting older and younger generations against each other.why can\u2019t Sheila Finestone just issue an official apology?If Jean Chrétien said Canada should go to Haiti to right an historic wrong, why can\u2019t he fight for the little guys who got \u201cNo!\u201d for an answer?Arnold Kwok MONTREAL \u201cTrough day\u201d could have been avoided Nov.21 was Trough Day.On that day 52 MPs, elected just six years ago, qualified for gold-plated pensions worth $53 million.Of course, they are not really pensions.Getting an MP\u2019s pension is like winning a cash-for-life lottery.After all, what pension pays out after only six years regardless of age?What pension has unlimited protection against inflation?And what pension can legally accumulate two-and-a- half times faster than allowed in the private sector?The rest of us can only dream about a pension so lavish! Over the years, Canadian taxpayers will have to fork out millions of dollars to fund the pensions of these 52 MPs, but that\u2019s not the worst part.What's worse is that Prime Minister Jean Chrétien even allowed Trough Day to happen.He could have easily reformed the pension plan before Nov.21, but he chose not to and that speaks volumes about his credibility.How can Canadians trust Chrétien to reform Canada\u2019s finances when he won't even reform MP\u2019s pensions?How can we Canadians be expected to tighten our belts when our leaders won't tighten theirs?What Canada needs are leaders who are willing to do what's best for their country.What we have, unfortunately, are leaders who seem willing only to do what's best for themselves.That's a disgrace and our wonderful country deserves better.David Somerville President National Citizens\u2019 Coalition Do cable companies really need the money?Guess where Jacques Parizeau got the preposterous formula for a referendum, which just about everyone on the federalist side has called a scam, a fraud.trickery \u2014 and worse?Well, I'm now convinced it originated with the same people offering a brand new menu for our cable television pleasure and tossing a crust to those who don\u2019t like it.Yes, the cable companies are on the loose again after being held to some account by Keith Spicer and the CRTC.Westmounters, along with just about everyone else, are going to pay for something they don\u2019t want and didn\u2019t ask for.This is what's known as the free market economy: The companies are free to charge what they like and we are free to go elsewhere, even when there is nowhere else to go.The arrogance of the cable companies is matched only by the passivity of their customers \u2014 a lethal combination.The press, daily and weekly, didn't take the role of champion of the consumer.We get lots of advice on where to find the new channels we don\u2019t want and no guidance on where to protest the gouging.(On the other hand, few readers have been heard from in the letters column.Between the Globe & Mail and The Gazette 1 counted five.) Note postal increases were halted and rates frozen after howls of outrage from business.Do the cable companies really need the 0 money?Gazette financial writer Mary Lamey reported Dec.15 that income from CF Cable operations jumped to $35 million in 1994 from $10 million in 1993.boosted $1.8 million by a tax break.Anyone got a crying towel?With cable increases and other charges looming are we seeing a resurgence of inflation?Westmounters could find evidence of this last week when one delicatessen raised the price of bread 10 per cent and one convenience store boosted milk by six cents (still under the supermarkets).The only things frozen are pensions.Fair enough \u2014 if inflation is checked.Edward W.Barrett MONTREAL The Westmount Examiner EXAMI FI 50 years ago Jan.5, 1945 MYSTERIES OF \u2018'ELECTRONICS\u201d: People must not expect to have their houses heated by \u201celectronics,\u201d they need not hope to have their meals, and the food they use to prepare them, to be e natural growth of the art of science of the use f \u201celectronics\u201d; but they may look to some wonderful new applications of the \u2018wonder elements.So said F.W.Ratcliffe, Vice-President.in charge of sales, R.C.A.Victor Co.Ltd.when addressing the Westmount Rotary Club.40 years ago Jan.7, 1955 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE'S AUTOGRAPH: Harold R.Barnard.1540 Summerhill Ave.this week presented the Alumnae Association of the Montreal General Hospital with an actual autograph of Florence Nightingale.Barnard\u2019s sister, Mabel Mills Barnard.visited Nightingale at her home in London, England, in 1900.She went to Nightingale\u2019s home to visit her, and found her reclining on a sofa, a sweet, dear old lady.about 80 years old.with a lovely face.a beautiful complexion, lovely grey hair and clear grey-blue eyes.\u201cI lost my heart to her at once,\u201d Miss Barnard added.\u201cShe was so kind and sweet.\u201d Miss Nightingale wrote a letter of introduction to the Matron of St.Thomas\u2019 Hospital so Miss Barnard, also a nurse, would be shown around.It was this letter that Miss Barnard kept all her life, and it was found in her effects when she died.Her brother received it and gave it to the hospital.30 years ago Jan.8, 1965 MR.MAY RETIRES: Max Sacoransky, known to generations of Westmount women as \u201cMr.May,\u201d is retiring after operating a women\u2019s store in the city for 46 years.\u201cThings were stable then,\u201d Mr.May said of the first years he was in business.\u201cNow styles change practically every month.\u201d 20 years ago Jan.9, 1975 MUC COSTS TOO MUCH (Editorial): Let it not be forgotten that the MUC was created, in the first instance, as a means of shifting to the suburbs some of the costs of impecunious mismanagement by the City of Montreal administration, culminated by the Montreal police strike and its then- overgenerous wage settlement.10 years ago Jan.3, 1985 HOT MAIL: \u201cThe morning\u2019s mail was hot stuff at one boutique in Westmount Square earlier this eek.The letters, it seemed, were pushed through è glass door by the mailman, who watched them and on a decorative spotlight and realized they were starting to burn.Since the door was locked, he was unable to remove them, fire officials report.Firefighters were called at 9 a.m., but when they arrived at the Victoire-Paris boutique in the concourse, they found the fire had burnt itself out.\u201d One year ago Jan.6, 1994 CLEANING UP SNOW: The first blizzard of 1994 blanketed the city in about 25 centimetres of the snow Tuesday, forcing snow removal crews to work around the clock to make Westmount streets safe.\u201cThe fierce wind and the low temperatures made the conditions difficult and dangerous.\u201d said Fred Caluori, public works director.\u201cWe knew by about noon that the salt would be somewhat ineffective, however.we kept on plowing and salting overnight.\u201d \u2014 Joy Carroll The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, January 5\u201d, 1995 - 7 Howling at the Year's.That's presumably because our approach to the change in the wall calendar varies with time (and, of course, with the wall calendar - our '94 one was simply dreadful so at my house we're pretty excited about '95).Everyone starts off with a not unexpected ignorance of the event.As infants and toddlers, New Year's isn't among the things most critical for us to get a grasp of.Probably the first inkling we get that great matters are afoot is when we are instructed to change the dates in our copybooks at school.It seems like just another whim of the grown-up world but we do as we're told, rather than blot our copybook.Eventually, we realize that people - our parents, their friends, crowds in Times Square - are having parties and celebrating the end of one year and the start of the next.Pretty soon we're feeling left out and want to stay up too.Next thing you know, we're going to parties, having parties or thinking up weird ritualistic pastimes to mark the changing anno domini.We start collecting New Year'ses like trophies.Personally, I have done the event in London to the sound of Big Ben (and that was the year they added a kazillionth of a second to the year so Big Ben had to be delayed or sped up or something - frightfully dramatic) I hard to get the hang of New and in a cottage near Cambridge.| have watched TV and seen the ball fall in Times Square, listened to Guy Lombardo and the Royal Canadians, partied in private homes and, once, dined and champagned in a big hotel in Bermuda (not recommended).| have celebrated the changing year in Montreal, the San Francisco Bay Area, St.Sauveur des Monts, Jamaica and St.John's, Newfoundland.The outstanding best was once when, at midnight and surrounded by a herd of relations, I skied around an island on Laurentian lake with a huge moon lighting the scene.We howled in what we hoped was lifelike imitation of wolves but probably resembled more the mating call of the common banshee.Fortunately, the only folk around to hear us were (I hope) the odd owl, lynx, fox, moose .and perhaps a disbelieving wolf or two.At some juncture, though, the question inevitably arises: why am | doing this?I feel no compulsion whatsoever to greet the first second of each new day or each new month.I'm generally quite content to let such time segments age a bit before I sample them.Why then must I hang about, eyes at half-mast, body adroop, to see the first instance of yet another year?Why must I don silly hats, make loud noises and watch crowds on television doing the same?It's recalls my copybook days -
