No, no, wait, focus! Focus! Well, to hear the students at St.George\u2019s High School tell it, it was- n't really that bad.In fact, it was much, much better.The second annual Slightly-Out-of-Focus Video Film Festival drew Elizabeth Rosemary Dardick, Gigi Cukier and principal Gilbert Plaw.capacity crowds last Thursday and Friday, as aspiring Scorseses and Streeps strutted their stuff on the small silver screen of the high school theatre.An extra-curricular activity organized and partly 2 | funded by the students %| themselves, the festival _¥ provided an opportunity for 4 young filmmakers to shoot B| and showcase films that { spoke as much about themselves and their worlds as it | did about the challenges of producing low-budget art.Take Velveeta Stream, for instance.Directed by Westmount residents Gigi Cukier, Andrea Korda and (See FILM, page 8) List of grocery-store purse thefts getting even longer By Bernie O\u2019Neill The Examiner Two more seniors were the victims last week in a growing string of thefts from the purses of gro- cery-store shoppers.\u201cIt seems to be elderly women who are the targets,\u201d said Crime Prevention Officer Lise Bergeron from Station 23.This time the thieves hit the IGA store at Alexis Nihon Plaza in two thefts reported May 3.The first incident occurred around 2:30 p.m.A 74-year-old ei resident told police someone bumped into her while she was shopping.Not long after, she noticed her wallet was missing from her purse.The second incident, also at the IGA, occurred a short time later, at about 3:30 p.m.An 81-year-old Westmount resident had her purse in her shopping cart.It was taken when she wasn\u2019t looking.The thefts are identical to three reported in recent weeks, two at the Metro store on Sherbrooke Street near Victoria and one at the S Saisons on Greene Avenue.In one incident a wallet containing $500 in cash was stolen.All the thefts took place in the afternoon.The thieves were described in one case as two English-speaking men in their late 20s.Bergeron said one way for shoppers to avoid becoming victims is to keep their purses turned inwards, with the flap against the body.Westmount, Quebec, Thursday, May 9, 1996 Michael D.CUISINE ITALIENNE SKA FOOD PLANO BAR - maux anses es + LUNCH, DIMER OR JUSTA DRINK WARM FRENOLY SERVICE Ÿ INTERNATIONAL IST OF BEERS 2 oAVANETY OF OMFTBEERS © - No.19 Follow that ball!

and on Redfern from St.Catherine to Sherbrooke Streets.The sewer systems on Redfern and Edgehill will be reinforced with a special lining before the roadwork begins toward the end of summer.The reconstruction will cost a total of about $1.2 million, including the installation of street lights, Caluori said.The sewer work, which involves inserting a lining to reinforce the vitrified-clay sewer pipes against the impact of construction, will cost nearly $500,000.The sewers on Edgehill date back to 1909.while those on Redfern were built in 1905 and 1911.They would not be able to withstand the impact of the roadwork, Caluori said, unless they are replaced or lined.\u201cThe liner is like an inverted sock,\u201d Caluori explained.\u201cThey insert it into the sewer.fill it with water and heat the water, which heats the resin [coating of the liner].\u201cI'm confident theyll last 60 years, but I hope they'll last longer than that.\u201d he added.The sewer work will not interfere with parking, according to Caluori.Council also approved a $90.000 expenditure for a new underground conduit and manhole on Aberdeen.Caluori said these will be installed starting the last week in May.and the work should take two to three weeks.Correction A story April 25 on local broadcaster Erin Duchesneau may have implied that her show, Cointrick.15 no longer on the air.In fact the show can be scen several days a week on CF Cable.e 24 Hour Service e Airport Reservations e Luxury Cars at Regular Rates (By Request) Office located in Westmount Efficient & Personalized Service qu 40105391 Also.Duchesneau is in Grade 11.not Grade 10.Richard Walker is a teacher at FACE High School.not the principal.Tees xaminer regrets the errors.Catering to your Real Estate Needs 500 Victoria - centenni Groupe Sutton - Centre Ouest 245 Victoria CHARTERED REAL ESTATE BROKER The Examiner 210 Victoria Ave.H37Z 2M teorner St Catherine) of a by-go Direct \\ecess: solarium, 181-7323 General: 181-3610 Fas: 181-6028 We're open Mon.-Fri.9 am.to 5 pin.40104654 me with elegance ooms, 2 dens, age, garden $362,000.Julie Bourne Affiliated Real Estate Agent Call: 937-5350 The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, May 9, 1996 - 3 A ROYAL LEPAGE ii ti Proven performance and superior service with integrity and dependability \"I look forward to working for you\" David S.Lenkorn Aftiliated Real Estate Broker 937-3114 40105327 rÉtwater Westmount Medé-Centre Navona coms omens.935-1860 4040 St.Catherine St.West, Westmount ©) aTwaTer 40105395 (opposite Piace Alexis Nihon) » Walk-in Clinic « Family Medicine « Cardiology » Dermatology E.N.T.(ear, nose, throat) « Face & Neck Surgery + Infernal Medicine * Surgery Nutrition - Clinical Psychology \"A TOP PRODUCER IN EASTERN CANADA\" \"Whether buying or selling a property, my commitment to you is.RESULTS!

HAVE No Turning on to city\u2019s energy-saving ideas story in THE EXAMINER last week A Hydro rates going up an average of 2.5 per cent in Westmount also noted a local initiative to cut the overall electrical bill in the city.Whether it is being done to save money or out of a real concern for the environment, Westmount\u2019s drive to control power use is commendable and deserves more support and publicity.Not only does too much power consumption cost us all money and hurt our environment, but \u2018inefficient\u2019 consumption does harm as well.Here\u2019s how: Think of a typical day and you realize how we use the most electricity between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.That's the key, after- work period when the whole family is home again, cooking meals, taking showers or using the dishwasher or the dryer.Done all at once and these activities can burn up a lot of electricity.Done in the dead of winter, when the thermostat is also turned up in homes across the city, and one can sce the meter spinning at quite a clip.The problem is compounded by the nature of electricty itself.?It\u2019s not as if massive amounts of electric power can be stored for use during these three critical hours.Instead Hydro has to build up an \u2018overcapacity\u2019\u2014an ability to provide a straight, live feed of electricity right off the line when the thermostats are up and all the appliances are on.What does this mean for our power utilities?For Hydro Quebec, it may mean more need for flooding land up north and displacing human and animal life for more megaprojects.For Westmount (the local distributor), and Westmount taxpayers, it means building a new clectrical substation at the lawn-bowling green\u2014a multimillion- dollar project now under way.To think that some of this cost and environmental damage could be avoided by better planning of our power consumption.The way to get on the right track is to change our consumption habits, especially in winter, during days when the temperature dips to -18C or colder.That\u2019s when the city issues a Peak Load Alert.That\u2019s also when Westmount Light and Power runs the risk of being fined, or billed at a premium rate by Hydro.Last year the peak load lasted 15 minutes and cost $250,000.What to do?It\u2019s simple.Don\u2019t use your washer, dryer or dishwasher between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m,, if you can avoid it, and cook your meals using your microwave oven.This applies on the coldest days of winter, City\u2019s symbol for peak load alert.The red and black logo is to be displayed on buildings during coldest days of winter.but if we're talking about breaking old habits and forming new ones, it might be something to start doing right now.Simply put a note on the washer, the dryer and the dishwasher as a reminder.\u201cAvoid using between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.\u201d Run the dryer later at night, or in the morning.Turn on the dishwasher just before you go to bed, or when you first get up.Do laundry in the morning or evening or, if possible, during the day.Take a bath or shower later to avoid the use of your hot water tank.And on the coldest days of the year, cook using your microwave instead of the stove.It may sound like a great sacrifice on your part, but then who would have thought years ago that we would sort and rinse cans and bottles and stack newspapers for recycling.Now it\u2019s almost second nature.Eventually it can be the same way for our use of electricity.\u2014 Bernie O\u2019Neill To the editor: Just read about purse-snatchers on bicycles on Greene Avenue (EXAMINER, April 25).I am not surprised.The way bicycle riders race on sidewalks, regardless of traffic regulations (ignoring red lights and no-left turns, crisscrossing traffic, hurting pedestrians, and laughing at Say Not surprised by purse-snatchers on bikes police on duty), one wonders if they are privileged in dispensing with existing laws.Why are they tolerated in behaving that way, setting such bad examples to

collect money to pay the MUCTC deficit?Its next most costly job is sewage treatment.We are finally treating all of the island's sewage \u2014one of the finest (cynics would say the only) achievement of the MUC.But since the treatment plant runs by itself, it is really no longer a locus of political concern or control.It\u2019s just there, quietly filter-feeding on our muck.What remains for the MUC to watch over are the runts of the litter, financially speaking.All its responsibilities other than lice and sewage treatment amount to nly 5% of its budget.The municipalities on the island pay 80% of the care and feeding of the MUC, of which amount 43% is for the police, 37% for the MUCTC deficit, 8.7% for sewage treatment.Then comes administration at 3.2%, parks (2.8%), assessments (2.1%), Arts Council (1%), air/food inspection (0.4%), economic development (0.3%), and land-use planning (0.2%).The remaining 20% of the cost of the MUC is borne by Quebec, as they pay for most of the borrowing costs of sewage treatment and mass transit.In a way, the most significant service rendered by the MUC has to do with income redistribution\u2014from the rich cities to the poor, and from the suburbs to the central core.Whenever people accuse us suburbs of living off the central core, they never take this little-known mechanism into account.It works this way: cities fund the MUC in proportion to total evaluation and receive services based on population.Westmount contributes as much as Montreal North, which has four times our population.So.What to do with the MUC?Here\u2019s the way | see it: * The MUCTC should be folded into the MUC or sever its links.I tend to favour the latter.Right now, it is neither fish nor fowl.And with the new Metropolitan Transportation Agency covering the whole Greater Montreal Region (with twice the population of the MUC), ultimately the MUCTC, the Agency, and the gallimaufry of fourteen other transport boards should all combine to form a true Regional Mass Transit Authority.» Waste water management could have been regionalized; that is, before Laval Our Mayor Peter F.Trent says.persuaded Quebec to foot the huge bill for its very own plant.It would have cost far less money for them to have hooked up to the MUC\u2019s plant, and we have extra capacity.Still, environmental controls should be regionalized.Air and water pollution is not confined to our island.* Regional parks should be (logically) a regional or Provincial matter.* The MUC Arts Council duplicates arts funding by local cities, Quebec and Ottawa.It should become a Provincial responsibility.* Assessments should return to local control.We can do a better job.* Economic development and land-use planning should be regionalized.So the MUC would then become a body providing police services only.Everything else would be regionalized or given back to local cities.Keep watching the stars Last month\u2019s ambitious Westmount High School production of West Side
